While out on ministry CMI’s speakers are regularly approached by parents, teens or young people in the church on gay marriage and climate change. These are massive cultural topics in the media today and there is pressure to conform, lest we be labelled as climate change deniers or ‘homophobes’. There is no question that the pressure is mounting on the church, and especially on our young people at school or university. …read more Source: creation.com

By Richard Weikart On this episode of ID the Future, historian and Cal State Stanislaus emeritus professor Richard Weikart speaks with host Michael Keas about the dark history of “scientific” racism. Racism, of course, long pre-dated Darwinism, but as Weikart argues, Darwin and Darwinian evolutionary theory greatly fueled racist thinking in the late nineteenth century and even down to the present. Weikart notes that Darwin himself was “intensely racist,” writing (The Descent of Man, 1871) that “at some time the civilized races of man will exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.” Darwin didn’t merely predict this; he

By Ken Ham According to a recent survey, 24% of so-called evangelical Christians in the U.S. agree “gender identity is a matter of choice.” Of this same group, 20% disagree that “sex outside of traditional marriage is a sin” and 18% agree with this statement, “the Bible’s condemnation of homosexual behavior doesn’t apply today” (and 10% aren’t sure!). What does this survey tell us? Well, apparently Christians are very confused when it comes to sexuality and biblical morality! So many people in our churches are biblically illiterate! This conference will focus on biblical and practical answers to issues regarding sexuality.

By Ken Ham America is dying. It has been dying for some time. We have been watching the spiritual death of a nation as we have seen the following actions: The God of the Bible has been basically eliminated from government schools. The religion of evolution is taught as fact to generations of kids. The religion of atheism has become the state religion as generations are taught everything in the universe is explained by naturalism (atheism). Crosses, nativity scenes, and other symbols associated with Christianity have been removed from public places. An obsession with the religion of death is growing—the

By Ken Ham In our culture today, disagreeing with someone (especially against the sexual, homosexual, and gender revolutionaries) is considered dangerous “hate speech.” Many people believe those who dare utter such disagreement should lose their right to free speech. This intolerance is becoming increasingly common across the West—just ask one pastor who said that a “pride” parade was celebrating sin . . . and then found himself and his family personally threatened, his church the target of arson threats, and fabricated pornographic images, featuring the pastor, began circulating on the internet. When asked why he thought this was “wonderful,” he

By Ken Ham Ok, now I have your attention! In the USA, a major election is looming, probably one of (if not) the most crucial in the history of this nation. Sometimes I’ve had conversations while out shopping where a store employee asks if I’m Republican or Democrat. My answer? I tell them I’m a Christian, and as a Christian, I build my worldview on the Bible. Then I explain that I will use the Bible as my absolute authority and judge politicians’ beliefs and promises accordingly. This will direct the way I vote. I’ve had Christians tell me that

By Ken Ham This has been a hard year for everyone—including your pastor. Pastors have navigated church closures, created online services (perhaps for the first time), had mask mandates, and more—and there was no seminary class to prepare them for “pandemic pastoring”! Consider giving your pastor’s family the gift of refreshment, encouragement, and continued equipping by sending them to our upcoming Answers for Pastors and Leaders next month as a pastor’s appreciation gift. Your pastors will be encouraged with timely and very practical teaching on this vital topic. Answers for Pastors and Leaders is right around the corner, October 6–8,

By Ken Ham Theology matters. What you believe about God, his Word, and the person and work of Jesus Christ matters. Poor, weak, and inaccurate theology leads, at best, to faith that produces no, little, or bad fruit, is stagnant, will not stand the tough times that will inevitably come in a sin-cursed and broken world; or, at worst, such wrong beliefs won’t save you because you don’t truly understand or believe the gospel of Jesus Christ! Every two years, Ligonier Ministries releases a new survey titled the “State of Theology,” and the 2020 results were published this week. And

By David Klinghoffer On this episode of ID the Future, Rob Crowther speaks with David Klinghoffer, editor of Evolution News and Science Today, about contemporary “cancel culture” that’s attempting to push disfavored ideas and people out of the public square, and how the cancel-culture phenomenon struck intelligent design long before cancel culture was a household term. The term — and the movie title — more commonly used in ID circles has been “expelled.” It’s happened to Richard Sternberg, Günter Bechly, Douglas Axe, and other ID-friendly researchers, to the point that many ID-sympathizing scientists have to hide their beliefs to protect

By Ken Ham Education isn’t neutral—it’s either for Christ or against him (Matthew 12:30). This is true in every class and subject, but parents probably feel it most keenly (or it comes to mind most obviously) in the science classroom. What kind of science education are your children receiving? Is it taught from a truly biblical worldview? You can experience science education through the lens of God’s Word, saturated with a truly biblical worldview, with our high school labs at the Creation Museum. These labs are extremely high quality—your student will learn so much as they complete 24 hands-on labs

By Ken Ham “Christians, Science, and Pandemic Times: Love Your Neighbor, Wear a Mask.” BioLogos, the so-called “evolutionary creationist” (really theistic evolutionist) organization, recently released this statement. In it, they included a twisting and misrepresentation of Scripture (not surprising, considering how BioLogos blatantly twists the words in Genesis and many other places!). Well, AiG’s Dr. Georgia Purdom recently appeared on Heidi St. John’s podcast, Off the Bench (many know Heidi as “The Busy Mom”), to discuss BioLogos and the dangers of this organization. They are twisting and distorting the Scriptures, claiming they believe the Bible and uphold biblical authority when

By Ken Ham At Answers in Genesis we love partnering with other like-minded ministries and individuals. One of those ministries is Living Waters, headed up by my friend Ray Comfort. He recently reached out to me to tell me about his daughter, Rachel, and her Facebook group, “Joyful Mothers,” which offers gospel-centered encouragement to moms. On this Facebook group, Rachel Comfort Zwayne (yes, she is married to EZ, President of Living Waters) shares articles she’s written on mothering, the gospel, and biblical truth that moms can apply to their very difficult job. She also shares Scripture verses and encouraging quotes
