Because of your ministry my spiritual journey has been reborn. ThankYou
The Enuma Elish would later be the inspiration for the Hebrew scribes who created the text now known as the biblical Book of Genesis. Prior to the 19th century CE, the Bible was considered the oldest book in the world and its narratives were thought to be completely original. In the mid-19th century CE, however, European museums, as well as academic and religious institutions, sponsored excavations in Mesopotamia to find physical evidence for historical corroboration of the stories in the Bible. **These excavations found quite the opposite, however, in that, once cuneiform was translated, it was understood that a number of biblical narratives were Mesopotamian in origin.**
Famous stories such as the Fall of Man and the Great Flood were originally conceived and written down in Sumer, translated and modified later in Babylon, and reworked by the Assyrians **before they were used by the Hebrew scribes for the versions which appear in the Bible.**
**In revising the Mesopotamian creation story for their own ends, the Hebrew scribes tightened the narrative and the focus but retained the concept of the all-powerful deity who brings order from chaos.** Marduk, in the Enuma Elish, establishes the recognizable order of the world – just as God does in the Genesis tale – and human beings are expected to recognize this great gift and honor the deity through service.

Also discussed by Professor Christine Hayes at Yale University in her 1st lecture of the series on the Hebrew Bible from 8:50 to 14:30 minutes, lecture 3 from 28:30 to 41:35 minutes, lecture 4 from 0:00 up to 21:30 minutes and 24:00 up to 35:30 minutes and lecture 7 from 24:20 to 25:10 minutes.
From a Biblical scholar:
"Many stories in the ancient world have their origins in other stories and were borrowed and modified from other or earlier peoples. For instance, many of the stories now preserved in the Bible are **modified** versions of stories that existed in the cultures and traditions of Israel’s **older** contemporaries. Stories about the creation of the universe, a cataclysmic universal flood, digging wells as land markers, the naming of important cultic sites, gods giving laws to their people, and even stories about gods decreeing the possession of land to their people were all part of the cultural and literary matrix of the ancient Near East. Biblical scribes freely **adopted and modified** these stories as a means to express their own identity, origins, and customs."

The title and thumbnail for this reminds me of that meme where Obama is placing a medal on himself

And the atheists, naturalists are even farther away from ever demonstrating that life had a natural origin. I can quote with unyielding confidence: Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. All 200 different types of the 37 trillion cells of my body bearing witness of Him. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
It truly is marvelous all the work you have accomplished for the kingdom of God. While most churches have been silent on the assault on the veracity of the Bible, you took up the battle and labored for truth so that we who have faith in Christ need not be ashamed. God bless you for your labors.
Thank you Ken!
My Pastor who brought us to Christ was one of your students and continues teaching biblically to this day! It was seeing the confidence and apologia delivered defending the word that inspired me to take it seriously, conduct my own research and come to the same conclusions that indeed; The answers are in Genesis.
I can't imagine what the Lord will have for you in the coming world one day, when all things are restored. Perhaps a beautiful museum!? 😀
This Ministry is a blessing. The stories of the failures of the ministers and churches are sad. I learn more from videos than I do from the pulpit. I see that I’m not alone.
The knowledge I've gained from Answers in Genisis has strengthed my faith and made plenty of supposed atheists I've spoken to actually stop talking and consider God. It has helped me fight the world from indoctrinating my kids. I can fight back with God's word and some answers to their questions. Thank you, Mr. Ham and the rest of you at AIG.
Raising “godly” children is close to child abuse. Why? Because it teaches children to believe in things that doesn’t exist. It’s worse that magical children’s stories that most adult eventually outgrow. Godly adults seek answers from things that are not natural, have nothing to do with the real world. It does not instill in children the belief that real world issues have to be addressed with real world solutions. That no god is going to save them when their salvation is only found in reason and cooperation with others.
Ark is a really cool place to visit
it is funny that all religions use what suits them and fail to keep God's name holy, Jehovah. joh 17:3 This means eternal life, that they come to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on earth, having completed the work you have given me to do. 5 So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had at your side before the world was.
6 "I have revealed your name* to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me: 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day: 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then I will proclaim to them: 'I never knew you! Away from me, you workers of lawlessness!
Thank you
The only thing Ken Ham inspires is laughter.
When are creationists going to start doing some science? To debunk and replace evolution or to establish their beliefs in science scientifically?
You don’t know if that lady from the bookstore is with The Lord! Pray for her like her life depends on it!

From 1997 to 1999, I read all the Creation Magazines and the back copies prior to the name change to "Answers in Genesis". The answers I found in those magazines to the questions going around in my mind seemed much more credible than what the evolutionists were presenting. With this foundation, in April 2000, I was baptized and received the Holy Ghost. Almost 24 years later, I still enjoy listening to Ken Ham and the "Answers in Genesis" as a born-again Christian, walking on in the Lord.
🎉Congratulations Martin Iles
Amazing! Praise God! May God bless all of the wonderful people involved with the Answers In Genesis ministry! 🙏
I battle the woke agenda with the material AIG has provided my family. Thank you Father for Mr. Ham listening and saying YES to your calling!!!
Jesus bless you for sharing your testimony, so encouraging. He has called me to use the current medical research avenue for cancer treatments. Lots of opposition.
It's amazing how Ken became a science teacher and yet never noticed the conflict between his Bible stories and the scientific method of discerning truth
until he overheard his high school students discussing it. Apparently his students possessed critical thinking which God failed to provide when he created Ken's brain.
Very much appreciate this channel. It has been a blessing to me in my life and helped my faith to grow. Thanks AIG 🙂🙏🙏🙏
This shouldve been done at ww2 end and instead it was attacked and reduced in many of our lifetimes.
Why is 1:00:01 not how human ancestors look like? Why can't that be the image of God? Modern humans are just the result of micro evolution
Glory to God!
One of the Answers in Genesis is That Almighty God’s Sabbath is The 7th Day which He Sanctified As The Sabbath Which Is Saturday ! Almighty God’s 4th Commandment Says To Remember The Sabbath And To Keep It Holy And Almighty God Did Not Give Anyone The Authority To Change His Sabbath To Sunday !
Jesus loves the gays!!!
PRAISE GOD for His many blessings!!!!!!!
Testimony is 100% useless for anybody even yourself if you can't demonstrate what you're claiming it is
I was ten when you opened in 93
God didn’t do any of that! The people you brainwashed gave their money to keep you from not having to work and used their money to build all that junk. It’s all junk like Greek mythology it’s all fake and you’re a conman!!!
9%!is because people don’t believe mythology!!
He can’t say cult!
KEN KEN KEN KEN KEN KEN KEN KEN KENS FAMILY KEN KEN KEN MORE OF KENS FAMILY KEN KEN KEN. MORAL OF THE STORY. IS THERE A GOD WE DONT F-IN KNOW AND NEITHER DOES KEN!!!!
Amen! And the rest is history. Thanks for all you do, AIG.
Is there some online I can do for the ministry? My husband and I live in Texas near Dallas, south of.
This is beautiful. God has truly blessed you, and I believe you have brought glory to his name ❤.
how do you 'incorporate' a ministry? Bringing souls to Jesus isn't supposed to be for profit of this world.
