Why is secularism on the rise? How did the Church become so lukewarm? The world’s best-known creationist says it’s because Christians have been undermining the authority of God’s word

Ham, 72, is arguably the world’s most famous six-day creationist. He founded Answers in Genesis (AiG) in the 90s because he was concerned the Church was compromising on the truth of God’s word. This, more than any other topic, animates him. Biblical authority is something he returns to again and again during our conversation.
