By Richard Sternberg On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Richard Sternberg, research fellow at the Biologic Institute, speaks on his mathematical/logical work showing the difficulty of identifying genes purely with material phenomena, and that DNA doesn’t have all that’s needed to direct the development of organisms. The math, he says, is even showing gaps in the computability of what happens in the cell, which could help shed light on how machine-like organisms are or are not, how evolvable they are, and whether artificial life is possible.

By Ken Ham We recently had someone who produces high-quality nature videos for a variety of secular companies (including the Smithsonian) speak to our staff. He is a believer and a young-earth creationist. He shared that it was Answers in Genesis VHS tapes from back when he was a kid that helped him develop a biblical worldview regarding Genesis. We hear stories like this all the time—and that’s why we continue to produce videos (though they aren’t on VHS format anymore!). And now you can enjoy all our videos in one place.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, From Darwin to Hitler author and historian Richard Weikart returns to his conversation with Mike Keas about a recent book on Darwinism, Christianity, and war by Michael Ruse. Ruse aims at a surprising conclusion in this book. Weikart says he gets there first of all by overlooking several of the most important early voices on Darwinism and war. And the book’s conclusion? That Christianity should “compromise” with a form of religious Darwinism Ruse favors, by giving up on core Christian doctrines. Weikart pushes back. Please consider donating to support the

By Richard Weikart On this episode of ID the Future, From Darwin to Hitler author and historian Richard Weikart speaks with Mike Keas about a recent book on Darwinism, Christianity, and war by Michael Ruse. Weikart says that in the course of the book Ruse appears to shift from warning others about treating Darwinism as a secular religion to himself embracing it as such. Weikart also says the book presents Darwinist views on war as more palatable than Christian views, but only manages to do so by ignoring key primary and secondary historical material indispensable to a fair and accurate

By Ken Ham My dear friend and ministry colleague Dr. Tommy Mitchell went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 17 (you can read my tribute to him in this article). He is deeply missed by his family and his friends. He was a very popular speaker, conveying truths about Genesis and God’s Word in a clear and often humorous, way. Thousands and thousands of people were impacted by his ministry with AiG. Many of his talks were livestreamed and are now available on one playlist on our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel. In the following playlist, …read

By Matti Leisola On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid reads an excerpt from Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey from Darwin to Design by Finnish bioengineer Matti Leisola and Jonathan Witt. It makes the case that modern neo-Darwinism is today’s “phlogiston,” a theory that explains everything but nothing, faces mounting contrary evidence, and survives only with ever more ancillary hypotheses. In the excerpt Leisola and Witt also discuss the well-documented pattern of scientists defending an existing scientific paradigm even after fresh discoveries have turned against it, with the obsolete dominant paradigm dying only very slowly. An especially dramatic and

By Ken Ham Do you have a child who loves science, or do you want to supplement your child’s science teaching with hands-on teaching from a truly biblical worldview—the way science is meant to be taught? Then you won’t want to miss Explore Days at the Creation Museum! These are full days of hands-on workshops, taught by expert instructors, presented from a biblical worldview in botany, biology, geology, astronomy, chemistry, forensics, etc. There’s nothing else quite like it out there! I recently did a Facebook Live interview with Dr. Jennifer Hall Rivera, our education specialist, who develops and teaches these

By Ken Ham Ten years ago, Answers in Genesis was rarely asked about whether or not the earth was flat. We often heard atheists comparing a belief in creation to a belief in a flat earth (implying the creationist view violates what we can observe from observational science, which it doesn’t), but we didn’t receive serious inquiries about the earth’s shape. However, that’s all changed—it’s a question we hear frequently, particularly directed at our astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner. In fact, it’s become such a popular topic that Dr. Faulkner wrote a book, On his blog, Dr. Faulkner has written extensively

By Ken Ham My dear friend, and a beloved member of the Answers in Genesis team since 2006, Dr. Robert “Tommy” Mitchell passed away this morning of heart complications.

I wrote a tribute to my long-time friend for our website this morning that I encourage you to read and share with others.

By Ken Ham Our Explore programs here at the Creation Museum are a day filled with hands-on workshops related to a specific topic (e.g., dinosaurs, botany, anatomy, etc.), and they’ve been extremely popular. They’re designed for students in grades 4 through 12, but now younger children can learn and explore as well with our Explore Jr. program for students in kindergarten through grade 5. In Explore Jr., children learn about fossils, Noah’s flood, and supposed ape-men through the lens of a biblical worldview, with God’s Word as the starting point. It’s a full day of learning and fun with hands-on

By Ken Ham I recently did a Facebook Live video from the Creation Museum highlighting what I called graffiti at the Creation Museum—but I was told by our artists that it’s actually called “street art,” not graffiti. So what’s street art doing at the Creation Museum? Well, you’ll have to watch the video to find out! As you can see from the video, the new exhibits coming to the Creation Museum are going to be stunning. When they open in mid-November, they will powerfully declare the truth of God’s Word from the very beginning. And they will encourage people to

By Ken Ham For decades, scientists have been searching for a so-called “gay” gene. Of course, this is more than just some dry academic pursuit. There’s a social and moral agenda behind it—that is, if somehow scientists can prove there’s a genetic “cause” for homosexual behavior, then some will argue that people are “born this way,” they have no control over their own desires and behaviors, and therefore no one can say what they’re doing is morally wrong. Well, a new study has just emerged that argues there is no “gay” gene, but that there are genetic markers purportedly …read

By Ken Ham There are so many lies marketed at Christians, disguised as truth. Some are obvious—others are sneaky, cloaked in half-truths and out-of-context Bible verses. Satan mixes truth with error to confuse us and lead us astray. The only way to defend ourselves against these lies is to know the truth. That arms us against the lies of the enemy. That’s why the theme for our 2020 Answers for Women conference (March 27–28, 2020) is “Truth: Uncovering the Lies We Believe.” This conference, taking place in the 2,500-seat Answers Center at the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky, will …read
