By Ken Ham Are you planning a trip with a group of young people to visit the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum here in N. Kentucky? Whether it’s a spring break getaway, graduation celebration, or summer youth adventure, the spectacular Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions make a wonderful destination. You and your group will have an incredible time while learning more about the truth of God’s Word and getting equipped with answers to the skeptical questions of our day. And did you know your group can stay overnight at both the Ark and the museum? It’s also a

By Ken Ham Are you looking for a unique Christian educational experience for your child this summer? Look no further than Explore Camps! These day camps are offered by (and at) the Creation Museum, here in Northern Kentucky, and they feature hands-on science and biblical worldview teaching. Your child is sure to love them! It’s hands-on science with a biblical worldview—there aren’t too many other places you can find that! We’re currently offering two camps, with three dates to choose from (and a special camp with the STEM group Teach Me Automation—but more on that below!), for students who have

By Ken Ham We’re a month or so into the year 2020, and already it’s been a hard year from a news perspective—headlines declaring threats of war in the Middle East, wildfires ravaging Australia claiming human lives and property, as well as nature, and, most recently, the untimely death of US basketball star Kobe Bryant, his young daughter, and friends, and the deadly coronavirus spreading quickly in China and abroad, awakening fears of a pandemic. These headlines make many people ask, “Where’s God in a world of so much death, disease, and suffering?” Start at the Very Beginning To answer

By Ken Ham Now that might not be a blog title you would ever expect to see from Ken Ham! But a recently republished article on an evolutionary education site reminded me of the importance of Christians accurately teaching evolutionary ideas to their children, along with the reasons evolution and the Bible are not compatible. Let me explain. “Major Misconceptions . . . [About] the Major Points of Evolution” The article was all about how professors at secular colleges work to try to turn creationist students into evolutionists. One of their big points was, Recognizing that there are sizable numbers

By Ken Ham I’m excited to announce we have yet another new resource available in our online store! I’ve always had a burden for AiG to produce as many materials as possible to equip people of all ages. But first, a little background. In 2017, AiG’s Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who has earned a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, released his book Replacing Darwin. This incredibly powerful book looked at genetics—a branch of science that didn’t exist in Darwin’s day—and found a massive challenge for those who hold to evolutionary ideas. The book also put forth a

By Ken Ham Our annual Answers for Women conference is coming up quickly! March 27–28, 2020, women from across the nation will gather at the Ark Encounter south of Cincinnati for a wonderful time of in-depth “meaty” teaching from God’s Word. It’s going to be a great time of fellowship, encouragement, and equipping for hundreds of women. I want to give a sneak peek at what we’ll be covering at this year’s conference, Truth: Uncovering the Lies We Believe. …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG
On this episode of ID the Future, Jay Richards discusses his new book Eat, Fast, Feast. Fasting is a traditional religious practice “that’s fallen on hard times,” he says. We “graze” instead. But there’s scientific evidence for the value of intermittent fasting: it reduces total calories while upping adrenaline and human growth hormone, and without reducing metabolic rates. All this in addition to the spiritual benefits that have been recognized across cultures for many centuries. There are simplistic “just-so” evolutionary stories in other diet and health books attempting to explain how our bodies became well adapted for intermittent fasting, but

By Ken Ham If you’re an unborn baby (a child) or are elderly or terminally ill, you may want to stay out of California! Abortions are free on public college campuses, and assisted suicide is legal in that state. But if you’re a dog or a cat (unlikely if you’re reading my blog!), head west because California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, is spending $50 million in an attempt to make his a “no-kill state.” But not for people—for dogs and cats. According to reports, the money will be allocated to “helping local communities ‘achieve the state’s policy …read more Source: Ken

“And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands.” (Jer. 1:16) Thus spoke the Lord to Jeremiah concerning the cities of Judah who had rebelled against Him and had committed idolatries. It is human nature to worship idols, and in times past that often included literal idols. In the West, due mainly to Christian influence, the practice of worshipping physical idols has been largely abandoned for many centuries. But today, the Christian foundations of the West are crumbling away

By Ken Ham Today is recognized as National Sanctity of Life Day in the United States. It’s a day set aside to honor the sanctity of every human life and to remember the over 60 million children who have lost their lives to abortion since the horrific Roe v. Wade US Supreme Court decision of 1973. I thought I would take this opportunity to share a special video clip with you. Scripture tells us that each child is fearfully and wonderfully made by their Creator, right from fertilization. The psalmist knew that millennia before the ultrasound would be invented, but

We’d love to see the Ark and the museum finish first and second on the list. We need your help to win! The “Reader’s Choice 2020” designations are decided by popular vote. As of the time of this blog posting, the Ark Encounter is sitting at number one and the Creation …read

By Jonathan Wells Today’s episode of ID the Future comes from a Berkeley, California symposium honoring the recently deceased Phillip Johnson. Biologist Jonathan Wells recalls how he met Johnson and the huge influence he had on Wells’ own research and writing. Then philosopher of biology Paul Nelson reminisces on Johnson’s keen intellect, his eye for hidden assumptions, his awareness that “we are not of our own devising,” and on the mountain range of new knowledge opening up to us in biology, one that scientists knew little about even 30 years ago and that Nelson says points strongly away from Darwin’s

By Stephen C. Meyer Today on ID the Future we hear the first of a series of podcasts in honor of the late Phillip E. Johnson, the pioneering thinker, networker, and organizer, who played such a crucial role in the development and growth of the Intelligent Design movement. These messages come mostly from a November 2019 symposium held in his honor in Berkeley, California. Today we hear Stephen C. Meyer, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, as he opens the symposium and introduces speakers to come, and then the first of these speakers, Phillip Johnson himself,

By Ken Ham G’day to everyone Down Under, particularly those in the Tanah Merah area of Queensland! I just made the long trip back to my homeland and my home state, to present at Dunamis Church on Friday night, January 31, and Sunday morning and evening, February 2, 2020. I hope to see you there! These talks are for an Answers in Genesis–Australia Foundations Conference. All four of my presentations will be on a different topic, so I encourage you to make it out for all four.

By Ken Ham Each year, dictionaries select and announce a “word of the year.” It is an attempt to either summarize the “feeling” of the passing year or highlight a word that had a spike in usage or definition searches, or both. The three major dictionaries, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, and Oxford, have each released its word choice and, while the three words are very different, they still follow a common theme. Here are the three “word of the year” choices: Merriam-Webster: they Dictionary.com: existential Oxford: climate emergency What do these three words have in common? They reflect the change and preoccupations

By Michael Flannery On this episode of ID the Future, science historian Michael Flannery pays tribute to Gertrude Himmelfarb, the pioneering Darwin critic who passed away in late December 2019. Even as the world was praising Darwin at the 1959 centennial of The Origin of Species, she was writing of his rhetorical sleight of hand, by which “possibilities were promoted into probabilities, and probabilities into certainties, so ignorance was raised to a position only once removed from certain knowledge.” Gutsy, bold, and precise in her scholarship, she saw Darwin’s theory as offering convenient “scientific” support for the class-divided, untrammeled survival-of-the-fittest

I love hearing from children of all ages who are being impacted by the AiG ministry. I know my readers will find these letters encouraging as well. So, I’d like to share a sampling of some of the recent messages that children, young people, and one parent have sent me.

By Ken Ham A recent announcement was no big shock to anyone following the story of the United Methodist Church in America. The church denomination (the second-largest Protestant denomination in the US) recently announced that it is planning to split, with some churches leaving to form a “traditional Methodist” denomination, with the remainder of the churches carrying on the name of the United Methodist Church. What are they splitting over? Well, again, it’s no big shock what the issue is . . . gay “marriage” and LGBT individuals. At a general conference last year that was attended by Methodists worldwide,
