Proof The Bible Is True

By Ken Ham “Conversion therapy bans” have been popping up throughout the West. Those pushing these bills claim they’re trying to protect people, often specifically children and teens who identify as LGBT, from supposed abusive practices (which do sometimes make up certain so-called “conversion therapies”). But what are these bans really all about? LGBT activists claim that if you don’t fully embrace, support, and celebrate an LGBT lifestyle or identity, then that’s hate speech and harming someone because that person is more likely to commit suicide because you did not affirm them. Well, for years, conservative politicians and Christian commentators [More]

By Michael Flannery On this episode of ID the Future, science historian and host Michael Keas talks with fellow science historian Michael Flannery about the newly updated book Intelligent Evolution: How Alfred Russell Wallace’s World of Life Challenged Darwin. Flannery tells of Darwin’s involvement in the Plinian Society, a “freethinkers” group at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine as a teenager. It was there that he first encountered radical philosophical materialism, the worldview that laid the philosophical foundation for his work in evolution. Flannery also speaks of Alfred Russel Wallace’s “intelligent evolution” and how it differs from Darwinism and from [More]

By Ken Ham It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum as our staff prepare for our annual ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter and ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum, beginning November 27, 2020, here in N. Kentucky. The thousands upon thousands of lights that form the beautiful garden of lights at the Creation Museum are going up, our resident artists Steve Hess and Southern Salvation have prepared a wonderful traditional Christmas carol program for the Ark, and so much more. If you’re thinking about Christmas, I have a gift suggestion for the [More]

By Michael Denton On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist and author Michael Denton tells host Eric Anderson more about his new book The Miracle of the Cell, and about his epiphany when he recognized the many remarkable ways that nature’s chemistry is fine-tuned for life. The focus in this conversation is on carbon chemistry and its “goldilocks zone” ability to form stable bonds but let loose of them when needed. Whereas biologists once wondered about a vitalist “life force” in the cell, Denton sees intelligence and foresight in the very design of carbon, its unique properties, and its [More]

By Michael Flannery On this ID the Future, science historian Michael Flannery continues discussing his newly updated Intelligent Evolution: How Alfred Russel Wallace’s World of Life Challenged Darwin. Wallace was co-founder with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution by random variation and natural selection, but unlike Darwin he saw teleology or purpose as essential to life’s history, and a teleological view as essential to the life sciences. According to Flannery, Wallace’s views on the nature of the cell, the special attributes of humans, the irreducible nature of life, and the fine tuning of the universe hold up well today. [More]

By Ken Ham We’re excited to announce that our 2021 Answers Vacation Bible School (VBS) is now available for preorder—Mystery Island: Tracking Down the One True God. We released this VBS as our 2020 VBS and many churches planned on using it, but the Lord had other plans (Proverbs 16:9). Since so many churches were unable to host VBS (or did a virtual program, like our free VBS, IncrediWorld) because of COVID restrictions, we’ve stocked back up and are re-releasing this exciting VBS program for summer 2021. And it’s now available to order (and on sale!). In our very secular [More]

By Ken Ham Abortion is the killing of an unborn child in his or her mother’s womb. There’s really no other honest way of describing it. Actually, there is another word for it—murder. So-called “pro-choice” activists (really, “pro-murder” activists) use terms like “reproductive freedom,” “health care,” or “a woman’s right to choose” to try and make abortion sound like anything but what it is—the intentional murder of an unborn child. Now, is the Bible ambiguous on something as heinous as murdering a helpless child? Well, , available from our online store.) We need generations who love God and his Word [More]

By Ken Ham What’s the most loving gift you can give your first child? Well, according to billboards in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that gift would be to “not have another [baby].” This billboard is one of several scattered throughout Vancouver promoting going “childfree” or only having a single baby. These anti-biblical billboards are sponsored by the group One Planet, One Child. This group is trying to “hasten progress toward a small family norm, leading to a sustainable world population.” Their stated goal is to “educate that overpopulation is a root cause of resource depletion, species extinction, poverty, and climate [More]

By Ken Ham On September 24, 2020, we hosted a special ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Creation Museum for our brand-new, stunning exhibit Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. At this event (which was broadcast to our supporters virtually), we acknowledged our team of talented designers, artists, and researchers who crafted an unbelievably stunning exhibit featuring 4D ultrasounds and models so lifelike that some have wondered if we had displayed actual babies! This striking exhibit also features powerful biblical and scientific teaching that celebrates human life in the womb being made in the image of God. A 20-foot long timeline provides the bulk [More]

By Ken Ham We’re very excited that 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music at the Ark, the world’s largest Christian music festival, is coming to the Ark Encounter in 2021. Beginning August 2, 2021, and continuing through September 10, 2021, you’ll enjoy morning and evening concerts in the Answers Center from well-known Christian artists such as The Hoppers, The Isaacs, Lynda Randle, Booth Brothers, Karen Peck and New River, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, and many, many more! It’s all happening south of Cincinnati. With your Ark Encounter ticket, you can enjoy that day’s concerts at no additional [More]

By Ken Ham If you want to understand the agenda of the radical climate change activists (and there are many in important political positions) and what will happen if they control the culture—read this opinion piece, “We need to act boldly now if we are to avoid economy-wide lockdowns to halt climate change.” These activists and politicians want to totally control your life, shut down the economy, and shut down your freedoms. These activists and politicians want to totally control your life, shut down the economy, and shut down your freedoms. Life would never be the same again. Essentially, they [More]

By Ken Ham To say 2020 has been quite a year would be an understatement, wouldn’t it? Yet, by God’s grace, we’ve made it this far, and we were thrilled to have been able to offer resources that wouldn’t have been otherwise available. One of those resources was the free virtual Vacation Bible School program, IncrediWorld Amazement Park. Because so many churches were shut down over the summer and most were unable to use our current VBS program, Mystery Island (which is available for next summer!), we provided a simple, easy, yet biblically rich program that churches could use—and even [More]

By Ken Ham So for all those in the USA, how are you going to vote next month in the presidential election? Will you vote Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, or . . . ? I’ve read quite a number of articles on whether Christians should vote, how Christians should vote, and so on. There are so many differing ideas. I come from a country (Australia) where voting is compulsory. Australia doesn’t have the type of constitutional protection America has where there is a special emphasis on free speech, freedom of religion, and free exercise of religion as written in [More]

By Michael Denton On this episode of ID the Future, Eric Anderson speaks with biochemist Michael Denton about Denton’s new book The Miracle of the Cell, part of his continuing Privileged Species series exploring nature’s fine tuning for life. New research keeps unveiling ever more ways in which this fine tuning exists, from the cosmos to the atoms of the periodic table, even to the subatomic level of quantum tunneling. As for the cell itself, It is as if scientists are discovering a “third infinity,” says Denton. Your browser does not support playing Audio, please upgrade your browser or find [More]

By Ken Ham Last summer I wrote a blog about so-called “gender-fluid tomatoes.” These were Australian tomatoes that have a strange reproductive strategy that some were saying showed that the “sexual binary [of male and female]” is a “fallacy,” which is an utterly ridiculous argument. Well, now it’s frogs making the news for their reproductive strategy, with the headline, “Longterm polyamory seems to work just fine for these frogs.” According to a new study, rainforest frogs (Thoropa taophora) are the first known amphibians where the male forms a “lasting relationship” with more than one female. (Many other animals, such as [More]

Recently, researchers have reported on the world’s “highest-dwelling mammal,” the yellow-rumped leaf-eared mouse, observed upon a dormant volcano 6,739 meters (22,110 feet) above sea level.1 While the discovery of birds at greater altitudes is not surprising, “that mammals can live at these heights is astonishing, considering there’s only about 44 percent of the oxygen available at sea level. . . .

By Günter Bechly Darwinian gradualism predicts biological forms evolving gradually from one to another, but it is widely acknowledged that this is not what the fossil record shows. Darwinists have long suggested that this fossil record pattern of major discontinuities is merely an artifact of the fossil record being incomplete. But on this episode of ID the Future, paleoentomologist Günter Bechly makes the case that recent findings have put the nails in the coffin of this “artifact hypothesis.” He goes on to argue that these findings are “not just a tiny problem but a fatal problem” for modern Darwinism.

By Ken Ham Visitors to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter over the next few weeks will probably notice our hard-working and talented grounds crew busy putting up tens of thousands of Christmas lights to bring our spectacular gardens to life for the Christmas season. We’re so excited to be able to share our gorgeous grounds, a live nativity, Glice skating rink (at the Creation Museum this year), a traditional Christmas carol sing-along, and more with guests during our annual ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum and ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter events, on select days, November 27, 2020, through December [More]

By Michael Denton On this year 2012 episode of ID the Future from the vault, Australian biochemist Michael Denton discusses various ways the universe is uniquely fit for carbon-based life, and perhaps even human life. Denton argues that when it comes to evidence of fine-tuning in the universe, the more you look, the more you find. Tune in to discover what he has found that has led him to the inference that our world is intelligently designed. Denton is author of the new book The Miracle of the Cell, where he brings his fine-tuning arguments up to date with a [More]

By Ken Ham At the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, we work hard to ensure every guest has a tremendous visit and is impacted by the message of biblical authority and the gospel. With world-class exhibits, zoos, top-of-the-line playgrounds, daily presentations, beautiful grounds and gardens, theaters, a VR experience (at the Ark), a planetarium (at the museum), and so much more, many guests don’t even realize how much there is to experience at these two attractions until they arrive! Plan on more than one day at each attraction here in Northern Kentucky. We frequently receive feedback from guests who have [More]
