“The evolutionary lie is so pointedly antithetical to Christian truth that it would seem unthinkable for evangelical Christians to compromise with evolutionary science in any degree. But during the past century and a half of evolutionary propaganda, evolutionists have had remarkable success in getting evangelicals to meet them halfway. Remarkably, many modern evangelicals…have already been convinced that the Genesis account of creation is not a true historical record. Thus they have not only capitulated to evolutionary doctrine at its starting point, but they have also embraced a view that undermines the authority of Scripture at its starting point.”

—Dr. John MacArthur, from The Battle for the Beginning

Discover the answers to these and other questions:

Can Genesis be trusted when it says God created the world in six days?

What does belief in evolution say about the character of God?

Is the earth really millions or billions of years old?

Who has the last word on interpreting what God said and did—scientists or Scripture?

Are Christians prepared to combat false doctrine and those who would compromise the Word of God?

For 40 years, the Institute for Creation Research has led the way in research and education in the field of scientific and biblical creation, bringing the evidence for creation to churches, schools, and in citywide conferences. Speakers like Dr. Henry Morris III, Dr. John Morris, Dr. Randy Guliuzza, and others present solid evidence from science and Scripture.

Sign up today and demand the evidence!
