Telling It Straight
| Answers in Genesis I myself have little doubt that in England it was [uniformitarian, long-ages] geology and the theory of evolution that changed us from a Christian to a pagan nation.
Classrooms: Temples of Humanism?
| Answers in Genesis I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith.

Misdirected Marvellings
| Answers in Genesis Very often one finds at the beginning of a scientific article, or at the end, a little word of praise for the wonders that are seen in nature.
Evolution Timeline
| Answers in Genesis The timeline of evolution, far from being set in stone, is constantly adjusting to new fossils found millions of years before their evolutionary time.

Taking the BBC's Evolution Test
| Answers in Genesis The BBC put a “Quiz: Test your knowledge of evolution” on their website. The reason for it is that the BBC believes there are still many misconceptions about it amongst people. The quiz involved seven questions that had to be answered true or false. So, let’s take the quiz and test the BBC’s understanding of evolution.
its-here-so-it-must-have-evolved/1 page
“It’s Here, so It Must Have Evolved.”
| Answers in Genesis A conclusion does not prove the premises are true. That is, if the answer is “four,” we could arrive at that any number of ways: 2 + 2, 5 - 1, etc. In the same way, evolutionists often assume that since certain species or traits exist, this is proof of evolution because that’s how it must have happened.
“Doubting Evolution Is like Doubting Gravity.”
| Answers in Genesis Only the biblical worldview can support the uniformity of nature, without which the practice of science would be impossible. The fundamental laws of nature operate consistently through time and space because the omnipotent, immutable Creator ordained them and is upholding the cosmos by his power.
“Evolution Is a Fact.”
| Answers in Genesis Evolution is a framework built on assumptions about the past—assumptions that will never have direct, first-hand, observational proof.
12 Arguments Evolutionists Should Avoid
| Answers in Genesis For years, we’ve maintained a list of arguments creationists should avoid. Now we want to address a similar topic: arguments evolutionists should avoid. These worn-out tropes have not only passed their expiration date, but they never should have been made to begin with.

Hard to Swallow
| Answers in Genesis Except perhaps for food and cooking, it seems the word most commonly uttered by the “world’s greatest chef” is probably evolution.
The Theory of the Moment

When Did Dinosaurs Live?
| Answers in Genesis Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago, or have these impressive creatures existed much more recently? Could some even be alive today?
Dinosaurs in Eden
| Answers in Genesis Imagine dinosaurs living with people. The thought sounds ludicrous to a modern mind steeped in evolution. But it’s the only reasonable conclusion if the Bible is true. The Bible is the key historical document to help us answer questions about when dinosaurs lived, what they ate, and why we don’t see them today.
Dispelling Paleontological Myths and False Narratives
| Answers in Genesis There are certainly a lot of myths and false narratives about the so-called time of the dinosaurs! But the evolutionary story has changed, and so the old story is now considered a myth and false narrative. To clean up those myths, you’ve got to start with God’s Word as true history.
The Ark’s Dinosaurs
| Answers in Genesis As we prepare to open the Ark Encounter on July 7, many people have wondered if we will have dinosaurs at the attraction in Northern Kentucky.
Were Dinosaurs Dragons?
| Answers in Genesis Many ancient descriptions and images of dragons are similar to drawings and depictions of how scientists believe dinosaurs would have looked.
Dinosaur Bones
| Answers in Genesis The presence of soft tissue in dinosaur bones cries out for a young earth, not for millions of years. These not-so-dry bones support the Bible’s history!
Fresh Dinosaur Bones Found
| Answers in Genesis Fresh (not permineralized, meaning unfossilized) dinosaur bones had been found in Alaska. Such bones could never have lasted 70 million years.
T. rex Drumstick
| Answers in Genesis Finding T. rex soft tissue is compelling evidence that it was not 65 million years ago that dinosaurs died out, as given on the evolutionary timeline.
Dinosaur Soft Tissue—Have Evolutionists Solved the Problem?
| Answers in Genesis In 2004, a team led by Dr. Mary Schweitzer discovered soft tissue—red blood cells, blood vessels, and collagen—in the femur of a T. rex. How could soft tissue last that long? Well, evolutionists have been searching for that answer for nearly two decades now.

Soft Tissue found In Dinosaur Sparks New Debate
| Answers in Genesis Not so fast! The much-publicized soft tissue found inside a T. rex thigh bone (supposedly millions of years old) may not be dinosaur protein after all, if the research of a University of Washington scientist is correct.
Ireland's Sea Dragon
| Answers in Genesis Found in Colin Glen, an area described by park ranger Paul Bennett as “rich in fossils and [...] of great geological interest,” the 2 3/4-inch (7 cm) section of backbone is from a plesiosaur said to have lived more than 144 million years ago and possibly as long as 190 million years ago.

Ichthyosaur: Evidence of Design and the Flood
| Answers in Genesis One of the earliest complete fossils discovered was Ichthyosaurus, discovered between 1809–1811 by a pair of children in England. This find was the first complete specimen. They are well studied, and research on their skeletons has provided evidence for incredible design and the global flood.
Hypsilophodon—Least but Not Last
| Answers in Genesis When you think of dinosaurs, you probably think of the majestic giants that once dominated the landscape. Not so fast! Don’t overlook the numerous small ones. Their marvelous designs praise their Creator as much as the designs of their big neighbors.
New Species of “Bat-Wing” Dinosaur Uncovered?
| Answers in Genesis Headlines around the world are announcing the discovery of a new species of “bat-wing dinosaur” uncovered in China. Researchers are dating this find at 163 million years old. They claim this new species, Ambopteryx longibrachium, had a membranous wing, similar to bats. But what was this creature?
Hybrid Dinosaur
| Answers in Genesis T. rex is one of the best-known dinosaurs, and among the things T. rex is known for are its almost humorously short, weak arms. Many herbivorous dinosaurs, meanwhile, had four powerful legs but no arms. But a newly discovered dinosaur appears to have been something of a hybrid: it stood on only two hind legs, like T. rex, but sported arms with powerful hands.
Antarctica—Dinosaurs on Ice
| Answers in Genesis The discovery of dinosaur fossils in Antarctica forces us to ask what extreme changes caused heat-loving dinosaurs to wind up on this ice-covered continent.
Dinosaur Apeman
| Answers in Genesis We typically think of the “missing link” as an ape–human transitional form. In this case, though, the “missing link” is “big, short-footed, barrel-chested, long-necked, small-headed dinosaur.”
Sauropods
| Answers in Genesis Based on what we have found so far in the fossil record, sauropods were likely the largest family of land creatures ever to walk the earth.
Dinosaurs and Humans

Did Dinosaurs Drive Cars Through Bustling Cities?
| Answers in Genesis Was there ever an advanced civilization on earth before humans?

did-dinosaurs-turn-into-birds/1 page
Did Dinosaurs Turn into Birds?
| Answers in Genesis According to many evolutionists today, dinosaurs are really not extinct but rather are feeding at our bird feeders even as we speak. But what does the Bible tell us about the origin of birds, and just how good is the scientific evidence that some dinosaurs evolved into birds?
did-dinosaurs-evolve-into-birds/1 page
Did Dinosaurs Evolve into Birds?
