Since the first entirely synthetic plastic was made in 1907,1 the plastic industry has grown exponentially. While it is difficult to estimate exactly how much plastic has been produced in the last century, it is well over nine billion tons.2 Although plastic is an invaluable material and has become an essential part of modern day life—in medicine, manufacturing, travel, and more—it does present a problem for huma… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Michael J. Behe On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist Michael Behe and host Andrew McDiarmid discuss the anti-malarial drug chloroquine, now being investigated as a treatment for COVID-19, and how it may work on the cellular level against the coronavirus. The same drug was featured in Behe’s 2007 book The Edge of Evolution, as part of his demonstration that evolution has strict limits: It can do adaptive work for organisms with single mutations, but if just two coordinated mutations are required at once, evolution’s random processes have great difficulty even with natural selection helping them along.

By Ken Ham Bryan Osborne is one of our busy, in-demand speakers—he travels around the US and internationally speaking at churches, conferences, and other venues about the truth of God’s Word and biblical authority.

His first volume, Quick Answers to Tough Questions (co-authored with Bodie Hodge), has been very popular and is a wonderful resource to get digestible-sized answers to some of the most common questions people have regarding the truth of God’s Word, science, and the Bible.

Nowadays, many folks (including some with leashed dogs) are taking walks in their neighborhoods, keeping six feet away from other walkers who are not family members (“social distancing”). While recently walking on sidewalks in my neighborhood with my wife, I observed Canada geese, rabbits, mallards, mourning doves, and a couple of roadrunners. Roadrunners are speedy pest-control neighbors, limiting local snake populatio… More… …read more Source: icr.org

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.

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.

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
