Ken Ham Biography

The president CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis-US and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum Ken Ham is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America.
In 1977 Ham began teaching at a high school in Brisbane where he met John Mackay another teacher who believed in young Earth creationism. According to Susan and William Trollinger Ham was appalled by the fact that some of his students assumed their textbooks that taught evolutionary science successfully proved the Bible to be untrue and he said the experience put a 'fire in my bones' to do something about the influence that evolutionary thinking was having on students and the public as a whole. In 1979 he resigned his teaching position and with his wife founded Creation Science Supplies and Creation Science Educational Media Services which provided resources related to creationism to the public schools of Queensland which were legally required to teach both creationism and evolution. In 1980 the Hams and Mackay merged the two organizations with Carl Wieland's Creation Science Association to form the Creation Science Foundation (CSF)
Ham speaking at the Creation Museum in 2014 As CSF's work expanded Ham moved to the United States in January 1987 to engage in speaking tours with another young Earth creationist organization the Institute for Creation Research (ICR). His Back to Genesis lecture series focused on three major themes – that evolutionary theory had led to cultural decay that a literal reading of the first eleven chapters of the Book of Genesis contained the true origin of the universe and a pattern for society and that Christians should engage in a culture war against atheism and humanism. With his popularity growing in the United States Ham left ICR in 1994 and with colleagues Mark Looy and Mike Zovath founded Creation Science Ministries with the assistance of what is now Creation Ministries International (Australia). In 1997 Ham's organization changed its name to Answers in Genesis.
