By Ken Ham We’re excited to announce that in addition to being a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and meeting the Better Business Bureau’s accountability standards, we’ve now earned the Excellence in Giving Transparency Certificate from Nonprofit Analytics. This means we’ve been certified transparent as a ministry, an important designation for non-profits. To be able to achieve this standing, we had to submit 175 strategy, leadership, financial, and impact data to Nonprofit Analytics. They reviewed our submissions and determined that we are cost-effective and deserving of their certified transparent seal. We’re thankful for this designation which confirms

By Ken Ham Answers in Genesis employs many talented and knowledgeable PhD scientists who’ve specialized in a wide variety of fields, such as genetics, geology, paleontology, or anatomy, and they believe God’s Word beginning in Genesis. I thought I’d highlight one of these scientists who we’re thrilled to have here at the Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis—Dr. David Menton. Dr. Menton holds a PhD in biology from Brown University (a prestigious Ivy League school) and served as an award-winning professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, US, for 34 years. He’s exactly what you’d want

By Michael Newton Keas On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid again hears from science historian Michael Keas about another science myth exploded in Keas’ new ISI book Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion. This time it’s the belief that Copernicus’s sun-centered cosmos demoted humans from our privileged position at the center. As another pioneering early astronomer, Galileo, noted, under the old astronomy the center was no privileged place. Instead it was viewed as the bottom of the universe, the “sump where the universe’s filth and ephemera collect.” So Copernicus’s discovery, if

By Ken Ham Today our world is selling our children the same lie, “Did God really say?” Did God really say marriage is for one man and one woman? Did God really say we’re created male and female? Did God really say sexuality is designed for within the covenant of marriage alone? These questions plant doubt in children’s minds about the truth of God’s Word and the goodness of our Creator. Let’s not respond like Eve! Today our world is selling our children the same lie, “Did God really say?” Eve doubted God’s Word, and it led her to rebellion

By Ken Ham “Those who live in glass houses, shouldn’t throw stones.” This old adage warns people with a fragile worldview not to attack the worldview of others. And this is a good warning for those who hold to evolutionary ideas—it’s a glass house, cracking and ready to shatter. We’re excited to announce we have a new eye-opening book, edited by Bodie Hodge and me, available for pre-order, Evolutionists work hard to convince others that their evolutionary worldview is built on rock-solid foundations—that it’s the foundation for biology, and, without it, modern science wouldn’t be possible. But this is merely

While not necessarily expressing an adherence to biblical creation, more than 1,000 scientists worldwide have signed on to a “Dissent From Darwinism” statement that expresses skepticism over the theory of biological evolution and calls for the “careful examination” of Charles Darwin’s teachings. “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged,” the statement reads.

By Michael J. Behe On this episode of ID the Future, Jay Richards interviews biologist and Center for Science and Culture senior fellow Michael Behe on his forthcoming book Darwin Devolves: The New Science About DNA That Challenges Evolution, available now for pre-order. Very recent advances in gene sequencing show that genetic mutations and natural selection sometimes work to create niche advantages, but by breaking genes, not by building new ones. It’s like increasing fuel efficiency by jettisoning things from your car: great if fuel efficiency is a matter of life or death, not so great if you actually wanted

It was an exciting week here at ICR as we watched workers carefully mount nine fossil replicas to the Discovery Center’s exterior wall. Each 12?×12? panel weighs 3,500 pounds! Two of them are based on fossils in ICR’s collection. Artisans carved the replicas out of modeling clay and cast them in concrete. The sequence from left to right reflects the relative order these creatures were buried in the fossil reco… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Did Moses really write the first five books of the Bible (known as the Pentateuch or the Torah)? Did he even have the ability to write or the Israelites the ability to read? Most mainstream scholars would answer no to these questions—an answer in direct opposition to the testimony of Scripture (Exodus 17:14, Numbers 33:2, John 5:46). If Moses didn’t write the Pentateuch, this calls into question the truth of Scripture and of the exodus from Egypt.

By Ken Ham The book of Hebrews describes the Word of God as, “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). Scripture is powerful, and we need to be encouraging our children to dig into God’s Word and hide it in their hearts (Psalm 119:11). And you can help families do that through the National Bible Bee’s Summer Study program. Help these young people discover the treasure of God’s Word. Be a Summer Study Host

By Ken Ham Evolutionists have long believed other supposed “species” of humans were primitive and not quite human. Biblical creationists, because we start with a completely different starting point, have long argued that there’s only one species of humans (but a good deal of variety within this species) and that other human varieties were intelligent and fully human, just like us. We believe this because the Bible clearly teaches all humans are descended from Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 3:20, Acts 17:26), and therefore we’re all related: all one race, the human race. And a new discovery confirms what

By Michael Newton Keas On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid interviews science historian and author Michael Keas about Keas’ new ISI book Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion. The myth this time is that the Church tortured Galileo for opposing official teachings on the structure of what we now call the solar system. In fact Galileo had found support for heliocentrism but hadn’t proved it scientifically; there were scientists and theologians both against him and for him; and he wasn’t tortured anyway. There’s plenty here for both scientists and theologians to

By Ken Ham Famous American radio broadcaster Paul Harvey is remembered for a radio program that began, “Now, the rest of the story . . . .” In recent times, Americans have been increasingly waking up to the extreme bias of much of the secular media, with an understanding that you just can’t necessarily trust what the media broadcasts or publishes. Of course, we at Answers in Genesis aren’t surprised by this at all, as our ministry, especially our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, has been misquoted and misrepresented and has seen facts distorted and information deliberately left out by

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, David Klinghoffer speaks with Dr. Ann Gauger, biologist and Director of Science Communication for Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, about her recent article “The Transcendental Treasury of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness” at EvolutionNews.org. These abstract concepts don’t derive from the material world, yet we feel impoverished without them; they’re foundations of a life worth living. Materialistic evolutionary explanations for truth, beauty, and goodness fall flat. Some of them even reduce them to mere illusion. It takes a designer who knows truth, beauty, and goodness to explain what we

Gauger explains how she and Axe tested popular hypotheses for protein origins and discovered that while mutation and selection can improve the proficiency of good designs through small adjustments, they seem unable to convert fortuitous selectable activities into good designs.

By Ken Ham In the fight to protect freedom of religion and conscience and the free exercise of religion in America, it seems there’s often bad news. So I thought I’d share some good news with you to encourage you that the fight isn’t over yet and to urge you to continue standing and fighting for our freedoms. Here’s the good news: the state of South Carolina has recently allowed faith-based foster care agencies to abide by their religious convictions and purpose and place children with Christian, church-going families only. An Obama-era regulation barred faith-based and federally funded foster care
