In the beginning — what?
A big bang? Lots of cosmic dust? Billions of years?
Not so, says Ken Ham. Look for the answers in Genesis, the first book of the Bible.
Its account of God creating everything in six days a few thousand years ago isn't a fable, but a scientifically verifiable fact, Ham says. He created what would become Answers in Genesis of Kentucky to spread that message.
Growing interest around the world
Last year 5 million people visited the Answers in Genesis Internet site, www.answersingenesis.org, making it one of the world's most popular religious Internet sites, spokesman Mark Looy said.
Through a daily radio broadcast recorded by founder Ken Ham, 1.4 million listeners hear the creationist message on 585 radio stations worldwide — more than double the number of stations in 1996.
The group's monthly newsletter went to 70,000 homes in 2001, double the number in 1996.
The organization shipped more than 38,000 orders of books, videos or other materials about creationism last year. Its book, "Refuting Evolution," has sold more than 350,000 copies.
The sequel, "Refuting Evolution II," came out this week.
