'''Answers in Genesis''' ('''AiG''') is an American [[christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist]] [[Christian apologetics]] [[parachurch organization]]. It advocates [[young Earth creationism]] on the basis of its [[Biblical literalism|literal]], [[Historical-grammatical method|historical-grammatical]] interpretation of the [[Book of Genesis]] and the Bible as a whole. Out of belief in [[biblical inerrancy]], it rejects the results of [[Scientific method|scientific investigation]]s that contradict their view of the [[Genesis creation narrative]] and instead supports [[pseudoscientific]] [[creation science]]. The organization sees [[evolution]] as incompatible with the Bible and believes anything other than the young Earth view is a compromise on the principle of biblical inerrancy.

AiG began as the Creation Science Foundation in 1980, following the merger of two Australian creationist groups. Its name changed to Answers in Genesis in 1994, when [[Ken Ham]] founded its United States branch. In 2006, the branches in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa split from the US and UK to form [[Creation Ministries International]]. In 2007, AiG opened the [[Creation Museum]], a facility that promotes young-Earth creationism, and in 2016, the organization opened the [[Ark Encounter]], a [[Noah's Ark]]-themed amusement park. AiG also publishes websites, magazines, journals, and a streaming service, and its employees have published books.
