The Young Earth creationist Christian apologetics organization, Answers in Genesis (AiG), endorsed the film.[4] Commenting on the film, Ken Ham, the president of AiG, stated that:
A Matter of Faith has a message that is highly relevant and desperately needed for America today. AiG doesn’t endorse many movies, even those that are supposedly "Christian" based. We are fully behind A Matter of Faith as it defends the authority of the Bible beginning in Genesis.[4]
Other prominent Creationists who endorsed the film included Ray Comfort, founder and CEO of Living Waters Ministries, Tim Wildmon, President of the American Family Association, and Gary Bates, CEO of Creation Ministries International.[3][4]
