Proof The Bible Is True

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Jay Richards speaks with astrobiologist Guillermo Gonzalez about new research just reported in the Astrophysical Journal. The research suggests that the circumstellar habitable zone for terrestrial planets around stars is narrower than previously thought. This zone around stars, often referred to as the “goldilocks zone,” is where planets are not too hot and not too cold to support liquid water on the surface and, with it, complex life. But there’s another factor, previously underappreciated, which greatly curtails how much further a planet can be situated from [More]

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future we hear a neurosurgeon’s view on materialistic bias afflicting the entire field of neuroscience. It’s a bias, he argues, that leads some scientists to misunderstand the meaning of their experiments. Darwinists “allergic to teleology” ignore clear evidence that purpose is essential to the mind. This talk is bonus material accompanying the action-filled and thought provoking series of short videos on science and materialism at www.scienceuprising.com.

By Ken Ham Whenever I call atheism a religion, I immediately receive backlash from atheists, who claim they have a “non-belief.” But what’s their non-belief? It’s a belief there is no God and all life (and matter in the universe) is the result of naturalism. So, they have a religion, a worldview, through which they filter everything. And they have beliefs as well: right and wrong are relative; everything evolved by chance through random processes; the universe began with a big bang; and more. And these ideas must be accepted by faith (a blind faith). Actually, it’s a faith that [More]

By Ken Ham The ideology of the secularist movement is driving Western culture—in an anti-biblical direction. Sadly, we see moral relativism permeating society. And when Christians disagree with specific moral issues, they are often accused of hate. But Christians don’t hate those who hold to a different worldview. Actually, it’s a worldview clash between secularists and Christians because they have very different foundations from which they build their worldviews—man’s word or God’s Word. As the name implies, the conference will focus on how to reach our increasingly secularized cultures with the unchanging message of the gospel. Our Western culture is [More]

By Ken Ham Every year, hundreds of thousands of people pass through the Iowa State Fair to enjoy a time of family and fun—and, thanks to the hard work of several AiG staff members and many volunteers from across the nation, fair visitors will also have the opportunity to hear the gospel message. This special state fair outreach, which includes an optional Witnessing Training Camp for volunteers, is from August 8–18, 2019 (choose one of the 5-day sessions). And you can be part of it! This event sees dozens of volunteers coming from across the nation, joining to share the [More]

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future we hear bonus material on the mind from the Discovery Institute’s new Science Uprising video series. Materialist philosophy says we’re no more than our brains; that we’re wet robots, in essence. Also, scientism, rooted in materialism, holds that science is the only path to knowledge. Here, a distinguished research neuroscientist take on those dogmatic claims and discusses some clinical evidence that mind is not reducible to the brain.

By Ken Ham Today is the Fourth of July, or Independence Day, here in America. Millions of people will be celebrating our nation and the wonderful heritage of freedom we enjoy here in America. As believers, let’s stop today and thank God for the nation we’re blessed to live in. And let’s also pray for the distressing direction, like moral relativism, this nation is headed in, asking God to bring repentance and a return to the authority of his Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ. All of us should remember this Psalm, “Blessed is the nation whose God is [More]

By Michael Egnor On this episode of ID the Future we hear a neurosurgeon’s take on materialist philosophical views of the mind. One currently common view, eliminative materialism, says there is nothing to the mind except what goes on in the brain. But do brain studies involving both imaging and surgery deliver an emphatic rebuttal? The evidence, Egnor says, strongly suggests there’s more to the human mind than the physical, material brain alone can explain. His discussion is drawn from bonus material accompanying the new, action-filled and thought-provoking Science Uprising series of short videos on science, materialism, and intelligent design [More]

By Ken Ham You just can’t make this stuff up. Teen Vogue, a magazine directed towards young girls (12 and up), published an article by a medical doctor entitled, “Sex Work is Real Work.” Yes, you read that right. This article is arguing that there’s nothing wrong with sex work—it should be completely decriminalized and treated like any other legitimate profession. The author even goes as far as to call her work as a doctor that of a “sex worker,” and adds, “in some ways, aren’t we all?” This article was published back in April, but …read more Source: Ken [More]

By Ken Ham So many Christian colleges and seminaries actually tear down students’ faith in God’s Word, rather than build it up, because they don’t uphold the authority of the Word of God. Instead, they teach students to compromise on God’s Word—and once you’ve opened the door to compromise, where do you stop? That’s why we started the CreationColleges.org website. We wanted parents, students, and others to have a resource to begin their search for a suitable Christian college for their students that affirms the truth and authority of God’s Word, from the very first verse. And many of the [More]

By Ken Ham Here at the Creation Museum, we’re excited to offer something quite unique—a five-day summer science camp that presents science from the lens of a biblical worldview.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, philosopher and Discovery Institute senior fellow Jay Richards shows how materialism is an acid that eats itself along with the self. Richards argues that it also eats all the immaterial things that make science work–all while posing as objective science. The interview is taken from Discovery Institute’s new Science Uprising initiative, featuring high-concept short YouTube videos and single-expert interviews touch on a wide range of subjects related to intelligent design, philosophical materialism, theism, atheism and modern Darwinism. Richards and other familiar faces are among the experts, along with two or [More]

By Ken Ham When I think back to my 20s (those days before I had to start dying my hair to show people I was getting old – well, that’s what I tell people anyway)—I remember how few creation apologetics resources there were. It was hard to find books that affirmed the truth and authority of God’s Word when it came to this issue of origins. That’s why I am so passionate about the multitude of resources Answers in Genesis produces—we want to get as many answers into as many hands as possible. I grew up in a wonderful Christian [More]

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Cornelius Hunter, author of Science’s Blind Spot: The Unseen Religion of Scientific Naturalism, talks about new findings on so-called “junk” DNA. Evolutionary theory predicts lots of such “Darwinian detritus” that does nothing for organisms. That prediction keeps coming up false. “Satellite DNA” was one form of DNA thought to be junk, and left on the back burner by researchers. But now it’s been found to be both crucial — for the fertility of male fruit flies — and species-specific. Evolutionary theory expected none of this, though it gamely accommodate [More]
