KENTUCKY - Ken Ham is convinced that if one wants to understand the doctrines of God's Word, Genesis is the place to start. Ham, president and founder of Answers in Genesis -- which runs the Creation Museum -- says Genesis 1-11 is foundational to the rest of the Bible. An Australian by birth, Ham moved to the U.S. in 1987 and has become one of the most in-demand Christian conference speakers and radio talk-show guests in the nation. He co-founded Answers in Genesis in 1994 with the purpose of upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse. The Creation Museum helps do that. Opened in 2007 near Cincinnati in northern Kentucky, the nearly five-year-old Creation Museum is a 75,000-square-foot facility that offers the visitor a high-tech, multimedia experience that shows how science affirms the Bible's account of history. The next major project for Ham and Answers in Genesis is the Ark Encounter. Plans are underway to construct a full-scale Ark according to the biblical dimensions, with the goal to use it as a modern-day illustration to help people accept the Bible as true history -- and to present the Gospel. It would open in 2014. [link]
