Answers in Genesis

No Answers In Genesis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Answers in Genesis There are many, many creationist web sites on the Internet. They range from the sublime to the ridiculous (see Matt's Evolution Nonsense Page or Professor Enigma's Homepage or the Creation Evidences Museum or even the web site of that arch idiot Kent Hovind). But the worst by far is Creation Tips [see Wacky Web Sites]. This site is extremely well designed but filled with the most extraordinary rubbish one could imagine. All of the sites listed above are excellent examples of the ridiculous.

But it's difficult to decide just where, between sublime and ridiculous, AiG falls. Sublime is an apt description only if one realises that to the average creationist, lies, subterfuge and a particular aversion to proper science is acceptable. It's also somehow indicative of their strange version of Christianity. In the final count, I must place AiG in the ridiculous category.

Having said that, AiG's web site isn't your run of the mill site. It's easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye and must cost squillions of dollars to maintain.

At first glance it appears to be chock full of interesting articles dealing with the creation/science debate. However, further investigation reveals its many flaws, including a lack of proper scientific argument, a propensity to quote prominent scientists out of context and a willingness to use the words of long dead scientists in an attempt to lend the creationist argument some credibility.

And believe it or not, there is not ONE link on the AiG site to a reputable scientific site - no museums, no universities or other sites devoted to scientific learning.

AiG fails the scientific test with flying colours.

So, dear seekers of the truth, find a comfortable chair, take a deep breath and read on, but remember - AiG is considered the premium creationist site. Doesn't say much for the rest of them, does it?
