Why Answers in Genesis and the Discovery Institute Are Frauds
They Purposely Misuse and Deny Science as Discussed with Gemini

Answers in Genesis seems to have a bunch of Ph.D. guys who use their science knowledge to prove God, but they knowingly or possibly mistakenly (not likely given their Ph.D. status) make errors in their proofs for God.
Answers in Genesis is a young-earth creationist organization that promotes a literal interpretation of the biblical creation account in Genesis. While some of their members hold Ph.D. degrees in scientific fields, their interpretations and conclusions often conflict with mainstream scientific consensus.
There are a few reasons why their arguments may appear flawed or contain errors to those outside their perspective:
- Different Starting Assumptions: Mainstream science operates under the methodological naturalism principle, seeking explanations based on natural phenomena. Answers in Genesis starts with the assumption that the Bible is literally true and interprets scientific evidence through that lens. This fundamental difference in approach leads to divergent conclusions.
