In this challenging presentation, Ken Ham clears up some common misunderstandings about the debate over Genesis 1 and "six days" of creation. He addresses questions and topics such as: Can the Hebrew word "day" in Genesis 1 mean anything other than an ordinary 24-hour day? Why do so many Christian leaders reject the clear teaching of Genesis 1 about ordinary days?

NOTE TO READERS
I can't even begin to express how instrumental Answers in Genesis was in helping to form my biblical worldview. As a new Christian, I was still pretty evolutionary in my thinking. Then along came AIG. I remember going through their LONG list of scientists on staff and just being amazed! And here's why: I had always been told and taught, from grade school all the way up through college, that science had "proved" evolution. Evolution was "fact." So, having had this life-long indoctrination, the first time I ever heard of "Young Earthers" as a new Christian, I immediately thought "cult!" But then several years later, along came Answers in Genesis, and here were all these scientists on staff, many of them with multiple and advanced degrees IN THE SCIENCES. In other words, it's not like these were guys with their PhDs in Literature or something, weighing in on subjects they hadn't studied. These were scientists who had studied ARCHAEOLOGY, BIOLOGY, ZOOLOGY, GEOLOGY, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, PALAEONTOLOGY, etc., etc., and who, after studying the evidence, were saying, "It points to Young Earth, and here's why...." Bottom line: I just really like how these scientists, working alongside Answers in Genesis, have turned that condescending, worldly dismissal of the Young Earth view on its ear. There are no "village idiots" in this bunch, my friends. You can say a lot of things about this group of scientists, but one thing you can't say is that they're stupid. In fact, I believe that God is using the ministry of Answers in Genesis to respond to the mockers of this age:
"IT IS WRITTEN: 'I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE DISCERNMENT OF THE DISCERNING I WILL THWART.' WHERE IS THE ONE WHO IS WISE? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DEBATER OF THIS AGE? HAS NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD?" (1 CORINTHIANS 1:19-20)"
