Q: Why is research important?

A: The up-to-date research from our creation scientists and scholars helps keep our speakers and writers equipped with the latest information and arguments—all from a biblical starting point. Last week at the Answers Mega Conference, some of the newest research was presented by highly qualified creation scientists.
This Answers Research Summit was an in-depth, technical conference geared toward updating our audience with insightful research that will help them understand the world from a biblical perspective. The secular world continues to spread its message of evolutionary-worldview-driven interpretations through public schools, media, and many other places, so it is important to combat that false teaching with truth based on God's Word.

For some, the thought of a worldwide flood is ludicrous. But for serious scientists who research the various formations of the earth and the catastrophic processes that shaped the world we see around us today, the evidence of a global flood is indisputable.
The Global Flood presents that evidence in a way that clearly demonstrates why the biblical account of the Flood matters to all who want to understand and communicate the truth with confidence.
