Changes

::The following skips a few details, but is the gist of it.  AiG started in Australia as the Creation Science Foundation.  It subsequently opened an office (although it was technically an independent organisation) in New Zealand, then America.  The American "branch" was started by Ken Ham, an Australian who was one of the founders of CSF.  However, the American one couldn't use the same name ("Foundation" legally could only be used for something else in the U.S.), so chose the name Answers in Genesis.  Subsequently CSF in Australia and New Zealand changed to the AiG name also.  Other branches/offices were opened in the U.K., Canada, and South Africa, all using the same name.  Last year AiG US (who operated the web-site that all countries used) decided to go it alone, and formally separated from the other organisations (except for the U.K.).  So the remaining countries changed their name to Creation Ministries International, and started their own web-site (duplicating much of the AiG web-site, as most of the content had originated in Australia anyway; this explains why you will very often find the same articles on both).  So apart from AiG U.K., and the founder being Australian, AiG is for all intents and purposes an American organisation.
