Before coming, he said he would have called himself an old-earth creationist. In college, he studied archaeology, geology, anthropology, biology, and astronomy. When asked which museum exhibit [...]

Dr. Tommy Mitchell, a full-time speaker with Answers in Genesis for almost three years now—but who is also a long-time friend of ours—has been keeping very busy in recent months.
