"Answers in Genesis was started in Australia in the late 1970s by John Mackay, Ken Ham, and others who believed that the established Christian church's teaching of the Bible was being compromised in the face of ever-increasing attacks by secularists. The organisation was then known as Creation Science Educational Media Services, which later merged with the Creation Science Association to become the Creation Science Foundation (CSF).
In 1987, Ken Ham was seconded by CSF to work for the Institute for Creation Research in the United States, then in 1994 left ICR to found Answers In Genesis (USA). Later that year, CSF in Australia and other countries changed their names to Answers In Genesis. In February 2006, Answers in Genesis USA became independent (together with the UK office), retaining the brand name and the website. The Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and South African branches rebranded themselves as Creation Ministries International.
Answers in Genesis publishes books and multimedia resources, as well as a website featuring articles and papers. In June 2006 Answers in Genesis is launching an American alternative to CMI's Creation<4>, named Answers<5>. It will no longer be distributing the former magazine in the United States. Answers in Genesis is also expanding into the non-English speaking world with translations and outreach ministry."
