Interracial marriage does not exist because biology and the Bible reveal that race does not exist, says Ken Ham, CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis. Ham explained his views in a recent YouTube video.
“First of all, interracial marriage assumes there’s more than one race, more than one race of people. Actually, there’s only one race of people,” Ham said at the beginning of his video, titled “Here’s What EVEN Christians Get Wrong About Interracial Marriage.”

Ken Ham: Science Confirms What the Bible Teaches
According to the Answers in Genesis website, the purpose of the organization is “to equip Christians to face the challenges of culture, restore the foundations of the church, and share the gospel confidently.”
Ken Ham made the case for his views on race using Scripture and scientific evidence. First, he said, the Bible reveals that all people have descended from Adam and Eve. “If that is true, then biologically, there’s only one race,” said Ham, citing 1 Corinthians 15:45, which says Adam was the “first man,” and Genesis 3:20, which describes Eve as the “mother of all living.”
“The Bible makes it very clear there was only one man and one woman to start with,” Ham said. He mentioned Acts 17:26, which says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”
“Biologically, then, there’s only one race, which is very, very interesting,” said Ham, going on to note that in the year 2000, the Human Genome Project also found that “there’s only race.”
“They’re only confirming what the Bible teaches,” Ham said, “that we all go back to Adam and Eve.”
“Now, why do we see so many different groups of people on the earth today?” Ham asked. “What about different colors? Aren’t there Black people and white people?”
