Compromise: Refuting non-biblical interpretations of Genesis 1

by Ken Ham, Terry Mortenson, Werner Gitt

We all have questions. And Christians are commanded to always be ready to give a defense for their faith. This new Pocket Guide from Answers in Genesis is designed to help by effectively dealing with critical questions facing our culture today. Here you will find condensed, illustrated answers in a manageable format . . . so you can always be equipped with reliable answers. Is there a time gap between and 1:2? Were the days of creation really long ages? Can t we just add evolution to the Bible? What s so bad about believing in millions of years? These and other questions are answered in this Pocket Guide to Compromise. Many Christians try to add millions of years to the Bible in order to make it fit with modern geological theories, or try and look good in the eyes of the word. But Scripture is very clear that God s Word is the authority, and we must not change it to fit our own ideas. This pocket guide will enable believers to defend biblical creation, and refute the errors being taught in many churches and Bible schools today.

About the author

Dr. Ken Ham is the president of Answers in Genesis USA and is a well-known speaker and author on the subject of Young-Earth Creationism. He received a bachelor degree in applied science (emphasis on environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology, and a Diploma of Education from the University of Queensland. He has also received two honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity from Temple Baptist College, and a Doctor of Literature from Baptist Liberty University.

He was a director of Creation Science Foundation (CSF) in Australia, an organization which he jointly founded with John Mackay. In 1987 he moved to the United States, still maintaining his links with CSF.

From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."

In 2008 Ham was described by well known atheist and evolutionary biologist PZ Myers as a "Wackaloon" for carrying out a prayer session with members of the Pentagon. Ham responded regarding the validity of that prayer breakfastand that PZ Myers and other critics were intolerant of his position.

A good overview of what compromise means to the Christian faith. I am always amazed at "believers" who hold fast to evolution or gap theory. The Bible is clear and is the authority we always go back to. It's all right there.

I’m a young earth creationist and this explains why.
