$50,000 grand prize announced for

"Research Paper Challenge 2007"

PETERSBURG, Kentucky—In a bold move sure to catch the eyes

of students, Answers in Genesis today announces "Research Paper

Challenge 2007." The contest will encourage students to defend

biblical authority in an unbiblical world. The grand prize is a

$50,000 scholarship to Liberty University, a premier Christian

institution in Virginia with 10,000 students.

The Research Paper Challenge, now in its second year, is sponsored

by Answers in Genesis and open to students aged 14–21. This year’s

focus is AiG’s latest information-packed resource, Evolution Exposed.

This new book confronts evolutionary indoctrination head-on, revealing

the misinformation, naturalistic bias and outright censorship in public

school science textbooks. By encouraging youth to understand science

and its cultural impact, AiG hopes to help raise up the next generation

of scripturally grounded defenders of the Christian faith.

"We’re so excited to partner with Liberty on the Challenge,"

commented Ken Ham, AiG president and a popular speaker,

writer and radio host. "Today’s public schools are saturated with

evolutionary thinking and immorality. By showing youth the gaping

holes in evolutionism and pointing to the Bible, we can help rescue

this generation from doubt and purposelessness."

The winner of the $50,000 scholarship (which is larger than first

prize for the 2006 Miss America Pageant) will be announced after

the April 16, 2007, deadline. Runners-up will receive laptop computers

and other prizes. Visit www.ResearchPaperChallenge2007.com for
