The 37 year old video shows how consistent and pertinent Pastor Hams message has been. With a foundation built on faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, testimony of his scriptures, and daily prayer may we be prepared to “give a defense” to this needful world. 😊
We're young men following Christ 🤠😎
Our mum taught us the Bible as History. Plus our parents were real with us and never played the hypocrite. Hearing them say sorry and admit their wrongs was important. Their consistency was important.
Your mother was a liar, you can teach the bible as a moral guide if you would like but to call it a historical work is just straight up dishonesty
Surely the consistency of what is in the bible was important too... or should I say the lack of consistency within it.
*_God Bless_*
So they pointed out all the hypocrisy in the bible to you did they?
@@bobleonheart9600 What's inconsistent when taken in context?
This is the message we as a body of Christ needs. Thank you...
A donkey spoke? Three men in a furnace? A boy shames warriors by killing a giant with a rock? I believe it ALL!!😍
An axe head floats? Dinosaurs in Job? We believe it all too! 😊 the Bible is amazing and true!
Me too !
How sad.
And I guess then when you die you will no longer exist, nothing, nada, gone for all eternity. Good for you sounds like fun.
erinplourde-bragg ***you can believe in anything you wish but it do not change what it IS; the chalange is the search for what it IS.***
Amen. Please keep preaching the truth, Pastor.
There is no truth to be found in the idea of a universe less than 10,000 years old, an Earth less than 7,000 years old and a global flood 5 miles deep 4,400 years old. Lying to the younger generation about those things, means they won't trust Christianity about anything else.
*_God Bless_*
Only Christ is true. The Bible like any other science text is neither true nor false, it works. Difference between Truth in the abstract and Science. A scientific theory is an explanation of what someone has seen which others have replicated over time.
Thank you for this message that is exactly right about what's happening today!.
Absolutely truth. Time for us to move forward with this. Acts 17
I prefer
2 Kings 2:23-24
"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys."
100% Amen!! Thank you Dr. Ham & Answers Ministry Team!!!
I am not long home from the Prevail Conference in Sydney Australia where Dr Georgia Purdom ( Molecular geneticist and science educator) was presenting . So refreshing and nourishing to hear the Word of God preached along with sound scientific explanations . Thank you AIG and I look forward to more n more n more ..............Truth .

Archaeologists use the Bible.
Expedition Bible can help you follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
Archaeologists have discovered Sodom and Gomorrah, a historical event in the Holy Bible.
“For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.”

Acts 20:9-10

@@canadiankewldude the Lord Bless you and Keep you as well.
Spot on! The Word has to be central to our lives and our focus. If you can't trust Genesis, how can you trust any other part of the Bible? Thanks Brother for continuing to speak the Truth!!❤❤
*_God Bless_*
That's quite bad.
Genesis must be true because the authority of the bible depends on it?
You need some better mental gymnastics.
@@oscargr_ The Bible is truth, the only "mental gymnastics" belong to Lucifer and friends. The King of lies.
You're so close to the truth.
Genesis is BS and so is the rest.
I mean, you can't trust any part of the Bible. It's very clear to be written as fiction.
I'm fighting! Thanks for the amo!
Well said!!!
May God help us.
pretty unlikely hey.
Given the constant lack of help so far.
🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏻 for the younger generation to come to know The Truth, The Way, The Life.
Because they are the future.
The truth is what the facts are. Being what we can consistently shown with evidence and observation. The Bible doesn't fit that category.
Sorry to break ya bubble but we are moving forward as a civilization. Time to let go of those fairy tales because it’s holding people back to be interested in science which will shape our future.
Thank you and may God continue to bless you n yours and all at AiG .
Blessings from Sydney Australia ....so grateful to have some of your resources .
Incredibly good summary of all the problems on earth today.
Simply an excellent message.
Thanks heaps. !
Thank you my brother in Christ Jesus
Ken, I just want to say that I apologize for ridiculing you a decade ago or more when I was a militant atheist. Although I would have likely denied your teachings regardless, I didn't even look into the rumors I heard about you and other Christians; I simply joined in the clowning like a bully and a child. I was hateful and foul towards you and all Christians, and that wasn't right.
Last year I got saved and have come to understand God's word by the guidance of the Holy Spirit instead of through the opinions of devils. I appreciate what you do and owe all glory to God for His grace and mercy, and for never giving up on me in the worst times. I am nothing without Christ and have everything because of Him. May God bless you and your family always, in Jesus' name.
***there are no atheists but yes those who call thenselves atheists are closer to God then most of us who say "I believe", because they can not believe in ouyr concept of God, they are on the road to encounter their GOD. ***
"Here’s Why the Younger Generation Is ABANDONING God"
Education? Increased ability to reason and think logically? The immense amount of accumulated knowledge about how inconsistent the idea of God is? The slow and gradual decline of dependence upon outdated traditions and thinking? Nah, it's clearly all of the above.
just try and even questioning evolution in any secular school be it middle, high school or college and accept an automatic response of ridicule and eventually a low grade.
But freethinkers!!!1!
Dan n Mike, your gifts glorify Him!
Thank you Brother Ken, what a fantastic sermon. God bless you
Thank you so much 🙏
This is frightening, I pray this will get into ALL CHURCHES! AMEN 🙌🙏.
Help us God!
Yes!
Thank you!
God bless you for your service ❤
Amen, Brother.
Excellent presentation.
Amen brother -} from England agree with your work
I believe your answer to God's call played a part in my salvation from unbeliefe. I was raised christian and took man's word over God's. Thank you so much for answeing God's call.
I mean we've been waiting for more than 2000 years and still we've got no signs of God. I normally leave after 20 minutes if someone doesn't show up.
The Father calls who He wants to His Lamb. God is not a man. Praise Jesus Christ!
The purpose of "Separation of Church and State" is to keep the state out of the church and not the other way around.
So much This World has done to Corrupt People!
Religion certainly has. Thankfully, we are moving away from that nonsense

Thank you 😉
Thank you Ken for teaching us about Genesis 1-11 the true history of the Bible. I see this book as history of GOD and all creation not story book.
GOD BLESS 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
Amen! Marantha!
The Word of God is One with the Being of God. Jesus is our Law to us who are born Again.
The enemy always targets is Family divided and conquered.
The only solution to this depravity is the coming of Jesus. And he will come.
Not so. People ( young generations too) must realize that they all have to return to their Creator not any anyone else. So long then!

Things have become so depraved and standards of behaviour have dropped so low that at the moment my two eldest children (11 and almost 13) are in many ways being driven towards God. They are seeing obvious deception being taught as truth (like transgenderism) and so automatically disbelieve anything that contradicts anything I teach at home. Even things like evolution. Of course it helps that all three of my children by some miracle managed to get faithful, christian, YEC teachers when covering evolution units at their NSW public schools.
The miracle is the grace of God, the faith that God implants into your family!
I pray for them, and for all the believer in Jesus, that we will all share the gospel throughout the world. Until the coming of Christ, in all his glory!
How do you know the teachers are YECs?
*_God Bless_*
I understand now. Adam and eve were sick of eating salads, they wanted a medium rare steak so they ate the fruit. i would do the same thing.
Eastern Europe is certainly not in the same predicament as the Church in England. The Orthodox Church is strong because it is absolutely Bible based and does not compromise the Word of God. 20 years ago I was a disollusioned Christian living in England. I visited Moscow and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, on a Sunday morning, it was packed to capacity, so much so that many many people we outside listening to the service on a loudspeaker system. I felt God touch my heart and upon entering the Cathedral I felt His presence. Shortly afterward, 3 months later, I was baptised into the Orthodox faith. I have never been happier. More people are joining the Orthodoxy. The churches are full every week, people go to church to and from work. No churches close they are all open. I live in Romania, have visited Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan the Orthodoxy thrives. Britain needs to wake up and turn away from secular things, repent and adhere to Gods Word.
Amen!
Another factor of loss is that the youth has their service on Wednesday, that is ok, but I rarely see them ‘participating’ in the main service. I don’t see them handing out the bread and juice. I don’t see them as ushers. I don’t see them on the prayer team. I don’t see them in the adult small groups. I don’t see them explaining the Bible to anyone. I don’t see a bar-mitzvah to welcome them in to the main service. I don’t see them getting training to deal with anti-Christ professors. I don’t see them on college break getting asked to participate in the service. I don’t see the sharing with the church how they dealt with the college and other agnostics. I rarely see them get training on evangelism. Church, let’s get real. Parents let’s get real in their training. God please bless the Holy Spirit in us for our kids.-Bill

wow. amazing.
I tend to agree. I don’t like to use the word ‘story or stories’, especially in today’s world. A century ago, it was OK because people were pretty normal, but not now.
We Are Not Here To FIGHT For A Better World! All Things Shall Pass Away!👊😇✝
1Jn 2:15 Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.
1Jn 2:16 For everything that is in the world-the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance-is not from the Father but is from the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God's will remains forever.

Well said Dr Ken Ham. We need to hear this.
Dr of what ?????? .. clap doctor !!!!!!
Keep up the GOOD work ken
Great videos! Thank you.
I enjoy this video, but my problem is that I have a disability, where I can't picture anything in my mind, also I can't remember anything that I take in. Since I turn my life to Christ in 2007, I have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation up to now, but I can't remember scripture, so how can I spread the Gospel when I can’t quote scriptures? I try my best with friends and family but for strangers, it's very difficult for me. Can you please pray that God will give me knowledge?

Take in depth notes that you can refer back to anytime you want. Personally, when I take notes from the Bible, I use certain major headings and keywords which when I need to refer back, I can locate readily.
Hello brother. I am definitely praying for you. Please let me share that the one thing that you will never forget is your own personal testimony. The Book of Revelation says this in Chapter 12: And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
You know what our Lord has done for you and how your life has changed because of Him. Be at peace with that. When He returns, you will be one of His great teachers sharing the knowledge of the Lord with the world! God bless you brother.
Amen
God never tired he instituted the 7th Day Sabbath so that we might understand and acknowledge his love and Authority that He wants to share with us God is awesome even though we denied it many times his love is in our hearts. Because he created us in his image and likeness. Although is perfect we are not robots he gave us free will.
Good video, God bless you and the team of this channel.
I would encourage any “young people” who simply “don’t know” to continue searching for the truth. There’s endless research to be done on the topic of God. In this day and age there is no reason to take a leap of faith. The answers are out there.
Love your neighbor as yourself
I agree 100% though I suspect our imagined outcomes are quite different.
Denied ourselves reject our pride because that is the number one enemy follows Jesus Christ to lead our lives to alignment to his standards. To defeat the enemy. Through success.
Amen and Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think it's mainly that critical thinking is becoming more common and people are coming to reason about the true reality being continually, evidently affirmed.
The biggest error science ever made was to proclaim that everything evolved from nothing, some even believe that everything started in a primordial goo but where did the goo come from? For everything to start from nothing is an absolute impossibility. The only logical answer is that everything, including the complexity of man, was created by a creator. Everything we do, everything we have is all created by someone, cars didnt just pop into existence someone had to create them, same with everything else. God bless and thanks be to God for all creation, yes even the naysayers.🙏🏼✝️
Science is just observation. You have to look at philosophy and theology, both you can find at universities. So what's the problem?
The possibility of a creator/creators is still logical. But the identity of such remains a mystery. You may call it Yahweh, or Lord Brahma, or Thor. But maybe still it's neither.
@@norbertjendruschj9121 That depends on what is meant by "nothing". And when was there nothing? It is yet to be determined that there was ever such a thing as nothing. The Universe as we know it began it's expansion close to 14 billion years ago. The question surrounds the Singularity, from which said expansion emerged. Has it always existed? That is a real possibility.
@@norbertjendruschj9121 The term "God" is quite abstract. As it means different things to many different cultures. And if by "God" you mean "Creator" , that too can draw so many theories as to who or what that creator/creators is.
Since when does nature need a creator? Does a tornado need a personal god as well?
Cultura is man-made, there is not a word contained in the Bible about culture, man's 'cultura' suppressed Bible teaching, cultura is not needed if we live according to the Word of God, ant thus out teacher is Christ, and the revelation of His Holy Spirit! Culture is constantly changing, whereas the Word of God always remain constant, no change nessessery to any part of the Bible!
I guess attendance at Ham's Ark Experience is tanking.
Hold on to God slways
@GeorgetteIV Enjoy your eternal nothingness after death.
It was not like this when i was at school it was bible study and prayers in assembly in the morning.. This generation is lost....
Kids can see right through the Pagan World Church 😮
Joshua 5:13 & Jeremiah 9:23-24
The real truth. When you keep adding on to the stories you already have children start to tend to think they're being lied to and nobody likes being lied to usually when you lie to a child they usually shut down and don't listen to anything you got to say anymore
Thank you for what you do. God bless this ministry
Some people say the universe popped out of nothing and exist since 14 billion years.
Other people say, God popped up out of nothing and thereafter he let pop up our universe
out of nothing by conjuring it up.
The second possibility seams to me a little bit complicated. The first possibility also seems
more credible to me, since the existence of our universe is proven and it is also visible to
almost all of us, except for the blind among us.
The existence of God seems not to be profen all the 14 billion years. To make matters
worse, he is in contrast to our universe also not really visible.
Therefore i prefer to worship our visible Universe instead of an invisible, maybe sometime
popped up God. Maybe you prefer the second possibility, with two popped up things out of
nothing. But for me that seems to be a little to complicated and stupid.
What is your meaning? Two things popped up out of nothing and one was conjured up?
And science can only be knowledge when it proven and observed.
And yet some parents are faithful to teach God's truth to their children, and yet some of their kids still reject God.
Probably because they aren’t gullible as much when they grow up.
@@Legend-mg2ry A fool has said in his heart, "there is no God."
Amen we are called to spread the word of God the Gospel until Jesus Christ does come,there are many people in this world that will come to Christ before Jesus Christ comes, it's not time to stop doing so.
and there are people who've lived and died without ever being aware of this jesus guy.
Millions of people that by your logic are burning in hell for being born in the wrong time or place.
The Word of GOD Is True from Genesis to Revelations. The LORD says the Earth is Fixed and stationary it cannot be moved 💯
The 7th Day Sabbath that God institutionalized a foundation of his creation and also we can communicate to by worship interact many things we need to know & understand.
Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen and 100 more AMENS🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️
You can't convince people who think they are gods that they need a Savior. The real reason people are abandoning the Christianity. People think that they are too good.
They will find out when they face God for their judgement that in actual fact without Him they are absolutely nothing. Without God and faith they are just empty shells with no purpose for being here than to be born, work and then die only to face eternity in torment. May they one day see the light before its too late. Bless you 🙏🏼✝️
@@manoffaithministry😂😂😂😂good joke. Time to grow up.
@@Legend-mg2ry Ditto
And pride is always before the fall.
You can say to them that then if they believe of no God then when they die they will be in eternal nothingness because without God there is no after life. Their ego will make them think but I must live after this world because I am so special and then they will have to think about it more.
The most important thing is the 10 commandments.
I struggled for years with my faith and naturalism. Specifically the distant starlight "issue" was my stumbling block. I knew in my heart though that naturalism and evolution was wrong and I desired to understand the truth. Now because of your ministry i see how genesis is 100% accurate. Thanks answers in genesis. Now my relationship with the Lord has grown so much. God bless.
*_God Bless_*
You went looking for someone to tell you the lies you wanted to hear, and found them👍👍
@roscius6204 Actually, you commit a falacy because you dont know my story. I wasn't looking so much as I stumbled across the truth that God graciously set in front of me. I was looking in all of the wrong places for the truth, but God answered the questions of my heart. I guess you could say I saw the light. I pray that one day, you too will see the light of truth because it is the only thing that brings any peace and understanding.
@@Night_Crew_Artist And precisely what new Nobel prize winning Theory of Distant Starlight has god given you?
You owe it to the world to share this miraculous knowledge.
Will it change the way we explore space?
You chose to stop thinking and settle for a comforting answer, it seems.
@@Night_Crew_Artist Why accuse me of a fallacy, not knowing your story, when you just told me your story?
We cannot give up.
Unfortunately the young Generation is gone. One of the main reasons is that AIG promotes assumtions as facts. Evolution is so advanced now it is impossible to scientifically disprove it
Amen the Word of God is the Final Authority... praying for you and your Ministry just continue doinh the will of God ,I am encouraged by your preaching as a Youth Pastor.God bless you.

Where in Genesis 1-11 does it say, Everything foundational is found in Genesis 1-11? Might there be more in the remaining 65 books plus the remaining 39 chapters of Genesis?
You’ve missed the entire point in that the whole rest of the Bible is based upon Genesis 1-11 and every doctrine in the Bible can be traced back to Genesis 1-11.
@@65gtotrips Certainly you can say I missed the entire point. However, give a listen to the idea that I didn’t miss the point but find the point incorrect. Consider Genesis 1:1, which if not true would make the Bible unreliable. So everything “foundational” comes from Genesis 1:1. This is a true statement but it lacks completeness. I believe the same is true of the Genesis 1-11 statement. The account of Joseph occupies 11 chapters in the Bible and is ultimately “foundational” to salvation. Genesis 19 is “foundational” to understanding God’s wrath which is given clarity by Romans 1:18-32. Wrath clarifies the need for salvation. Salvation from what? The Bible gives the foundation and truncating the foundation too quickly doesn’t help with the plan of salvation.
Science is the "search,by method for truth"...
Knowledge through observation.
And evolution can never be proven as a method since it cannot be recreated.
Be At Peace Ken!👊😇✝
1Co 13:8 Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
1Co 13:9 For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete.
1Co 13:10 But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways.
1Co 13:12 Now we see only an indistinct image in a mirror, but then we will be face to face. Now what I know is incomplete, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1Co 13:13 Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Genesis is the foundation of all Bible doctrine. Every doctrine builds upon the foundation of Genesis; this is the Law of First Mention

In the beginning we invented gods for everything we did not understand. We had gods of thunder, gods of volcanos, even gods of the wind in the trees. After a little bit of evolution they invented a new god to rule all gods. Then they said we have no scientific evidence what so ever but all these old gods are fake but you must believe in this one he is real he's just very shy.

At last some good news. Young people are realising that all religions are just a load of ridiculous mumbo-jumbo. As a 67 year old atheist it gladdens my heart to see the decline of religions and the rise of secularism and realism in the young.

I’m a Believer in Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity. But the authors of both the old and New Testament were not passing down science, although there are scientific aspects in the Bible. I don’t think Ham has the solution here because the earth is most likely millions and millions of years old

I am not a Christian but I am not an atheist. However, I do believe in a higher power, something/someone greater. Children/kids/teenagers are normally rebels. Let them be. Most people don't find their path until after life has beaten them.
I agree but this is different here. Whats goin on now is a lil different than just young rebels.
