By Ken Ham Today is Earth Day—and it’s a special Earth Day this year (and not just because it’s falling in the middle of a global pandemic!). It’s special because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Earth Day. It began on April 22, 1970, with mass protests against pollution and what was called “environmental ignorance.” That April day is considered the beginning of the modern environmental movement worldwide. How should Christians view this day? Well, we should recognize that those protests back in 1970 did a lot of good. Even though many participating in the protests

By Stephen C. Meyer On this episode of ID the Future, bestselling author and Center for Science and Culture director Stephen Meyer introduces an exciting and informative new Discovery U video course, “Stephen Meyer Investigates Scientific Evidence for Intelligent Design.” Here he sets the stage by recalling a few times when ID made national news headlines, sometimes with Meyer right in the middle of the controversy. He also addresses some of the questions generated by these dustups: Is ID faith-based or science-based? Did the earliest scientists follow ID principles or did they avoid them, as one state education commissioner claimed.

By Ken Ham The Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in N. Kentucky are home to a variety of animals—camels, kangaroos, sloths, an armadillo, creepy crawlies, a zorse and zonkey, coatis, and more. These animals have delighted our guests and, more than that, have been used to teach the truth of God’s Word regarding animal “kinds.” And, even while we are sadly closed due to the government shutdown concerning the pandemic, we’re still teaching people with daily Facebook Live videos at 3 p.m. (ET) featuring our zookeepers and various animals. Now, God’s Word teaches that we’re to care for creation,

By Günter Bechly On this episode of ID the Future, paleontologist Günter Bechly speaks again with host Andrew McDiarmid about the growing case against Darwinian gradualism. Bechly points out two more cases where fossil discoveries refuted Darwin’s prediction of gradualism in species transitions. In one of the classic showcases for such alleged transitions, between two species of deep-sea protists called foraminifera, more recent research showed their speciation to be abrupt and not an ancestor-descendent sequence. And fossil freshwater snails from Germany, once viewed as another textbook example of gradual speciation, were discovered not to be separate species at all. Is

By Ken Ham With the kids (or your grandkids) at home due to the current COVID-19 situation, and with social media and all news outlets covering this pandemic around the clock, I’m sure that almost everyone, including even younger kids have heard of the outbreak and may have hard questions. You want to give them solid biblical authority-based answers. So how do you handle topics like death and suffering for younger children? You want to be sensitive and to break things down into language they can understand. But most important, you want to give them solid biblical authority-based answers. So

By Jay W. Richards On this episode of ID the Future, guest host Jay Richards interviews science historian Michael Keas about the new Neil deGrasse Tyson Cosmos television series and its “very impressionistic storytelling.” Starting with an episode titled “Ladder to the Stars,” Cosmos: Possible Worlds weaves a tale of chemical evolution that, according to Keas, fails to engage the tough problems required to build the first self-reproducing biological entity. Keas says it then it moves into a glib explanation for the origin of mind and human intelligence. As Richards and Keas show, evidence takes a back seat to storytelling

By Ken Ham Coronavirus is, of course, now synonymous with a global pandemic. But it’s much more than that to nearly half of Americans—it’s also a wake-up call from God. According to a recent poll, 44% of Americans responded that the COVID-19 coronavirus is a “wake-up call for us to turn back to faith in God.” So is this a wake-up call from God? Well, I want share what Luke 13:4–5 says. Jesus here is responding to a question about why certain people died, and he refers to 18 people who were killed in a tragic accident. Why did they

By Ken Ham Today’s wonderful technology enables us to proclaim biblical truths in new and highly effective ways. And here at AiG, we want to use the latest in modern tools to get out our vital creation-gospel messages. So when we had to temporarily close our two attractions and our offices due to COVID–19 , and then a radio network asked me to create a 60-second spot to offer encouragement and Bible teaching during this crisis, how could we produce the spot for them without our recording studio being available? Well, I recorded the spot at home! But how, without

By Michael J. Behe On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist Michael Behe and host Andrew McDiarmid discuss the anti-malarial drug chloroquine, now being investigated as a treatment for COVID-19, and how it may work on the cellular level against the coronavirus. The same drug was featured in Behe’s 2007 book The Edge of Evolution, as part of his demonstration that evolution has strict limits: It can do adaptive work for organisms with single mutations, but if just two coordinated mutations are required at once, evolution’s random processes have great difficulty even with natural selection helping them along.
