It’s not right to bluff about something you don’t have.1 Yet some government bureaucrats tried to gain control of over 100,000 acres of land, basing their entitlement grab upon claims that jaguars need the land—but the jaguars probably aren’t even there.2 It began with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (a division of the Department of the Interior) asserting that the Endangered Speci… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham The coronavirus pandemic has radically changed life for everyone in the US (and many other countries), including churches, which are currently no longer allowed by most governmental authorities to gather. But that doesn’t mean those churches have to stop their programming—they just have to get creative! And we’re here to help.

By Ken Ham Acorn flour, bread made from cattail roots, and water lily tubers—do these sound appetizing? Well, maybe not to us, but according to a new study, ancient humans ate these foods and more. This study was exploring the diets of ancient man and they revealed a surprise (at least to those who think with an evolutionary worldview, anyway): past humans didn’t just eat meat—they ate plants, including plants they cooked or even ground into flour. This finding may be surprising to evolutionists, but it’s certainly not to those who start with God’s Word. It sounds normal for humans

By Ken Ham One would think that with the Ark Encounter being open for more than three and a half years and attracting over a million people each year—with area hotels, restaurants, and shops bustling with Ark visitors—that nobody would question the massive positive economic impact the Ark has had in Grant County and the entire region (as well as through the Ark’s sister attraction, the Creation Museum). Unless that is, you hear from some secularists and others who claim otherwise. That includes the recent “documentary” on PBS-TV about the Ark Encounter entitled “We Believe in Dinosaurs.” In December 2016,

By Ken Ham Back in October, I blogged about my then-upcoming video interview for the Homeschool Family Relationships Summit, hosted by Homeschool Summits. I also recorded a video for its Curriculum Summit earlier this month I love talking about the family and discussing what the Bible clearly teaches about raising godly offspring. The two main curriculum providers for these summits have some great online resources of their own. As I mentioned in the previous Student and Parent Educational Opportunities blog, during this time of inactivity due to the COVID-19/coronavirus situation, homeschooling, or online schooling from home, both parents and students

By Ken Ham This past Monday I did a livestream that responded to the coronavirus situation. I presented eleven things I’ve been reminded of as we all go through this ongoing challenging time. I heard from so many people that it was an encouragement to them and that it helped them to think more biblically about what’s going on. I’m excited to be doing another livestreamed devotional this coming Monday, April 6, 2020, at 7 p.m. ET, answering the question, “Should we lose sleep over the coronavirus?” If you missed my first online devotional, I encourage you to watch and

By Ken Ham As you read news reports or watch overage of the latest COVID-19 updates on TV, I’m sure you’re aware of the number of cases and deaths reported in some countries due to this particular coronavirus. And while many people are now house bound (in many countries) with no available childcare, confined either by recently enacted state/country laws, by self isolation, or even due to layoffs, we wanted to remind you that we have great resources that answer questions people may have about death, disease, and suffering from a biblical authority standpoint. We have several dozen excellent articles

By Ken Ham My good friend Dr. Terry Mortenson, AiG Speaker & Researcher, sent me some sobering statistics. While any death is a horrible thing in this sin-cursed world, the travesty of abortion makes all other forms of life-taking pale in comparison, and yet it’s applauded and legally protected. Here are Terry’s thoughts. Fox News reports that yesterday (March 20, 2020) in New York City, “The coronavirus killed city residents at a rate of more than one per hour on Friday” (during the day: the total was 14 on Friday). Live Science reported that as of March 20, New York

Noah and his family were the only human survivors of the global flood and were thrust into a completely new world once they left the Ark. The film allows you to get a glimpse of the challenges of being pioneers in a world reshaped by the flood. It’s a really emotive look into

By Michael Newton Keas On this episode of ID the Future, Mike Keas interviews science historian and bioethicist Michael Flannery about his recent article on Charles Darwin and archrival Richard Owen. Owen was an evolutionist, too, but of a different stripe. Unlike Darwin, he believed that evolution was guided by teleology or purpose, and he saw humans as different from animals not only in degree but in kind. This led him to reject Darwin’s conclusion of a “hierarchy of races,” as well as Darwin’s expectation that the supposedly “less fit” races of humankind ultimately would be exterminated by the so-called
