About Answers for Pastors

Answers in Genesis held its annual Answers for Pastors conference October 8–10, 2019. The sessions took place in the new Answers Center at the Ark Encounter.

The conference theme was “One Race, One Blood—Biblical and Scientific Answers.” Ten keynote sessions featured answers from a variety of speakers, including staff members of Answers in Genesis and friends of the ministry.

Ken Ham, founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, wrote in the conference materials, “Evolution is an inherently racist philosophy. Some of the statements Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man make that very clear! It offers no good answer to the question of ‘race.’ Over time, most evolutionists have finally come to the realization that genetically and biologically, there’s only one race—something the Bible teaches.”

Next year’s conference is titled, “The Bible and Sexuality: Practical Answers for Today’s World.” Learn more at AnswersForPastors.org.
