By Ken Ham When you think of Kentucky, ice skating is probably not something that comes to mind—especially in September! But you can go “ice” skating today at the Ark Encounter. We’ve recently opened a Glice® rink—the largest in North America—at the Ark. Glice® is a synthetic ice that acts just like real ice, allowing you to skate regardless of the weather. Everything you need is provided for you and you can skate for as long as you want, during one continuous session, for just $8. For children who are just learning to skate, a special skating prop is available

By Ken Ham Did you know that there are 52.6 million Spanish speakers living in the United States? That means there are more Spanish speakers in the US than in any other nation besides Mexico. And we want to reach these precious people with the message of the gospel in their own language! That’s why we host Día Latino every year at both the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. This year, the event is taking place September 29, 2018, at the Ark Encounter and September 30, 2018, at the Creation Museum in Northern …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG

By Ken Ham We recently opened our new 4D Special Effects Theater at the Creation Museum. This state-of-the-art theater features stunning 3D (using special infrared technology) and a variety of special effects (seats vibrate and poke, special lighting, air effects, and more for the added “fourth dimension”) to surprise and delight guests as they experience creation week brought to life during the 22-minute show In Six Days. And we’re receiving extremely positive feedback from guests who’ve experienced this remarkable theater. Here are just a few comments from guests who saw In Six Days the day it was released: <!– –>

By Sarah Chaffee Today’s episode of ID the Future from the vault continues a discussion of why the idea of land-to-sea whale evolution doesn’t wash. CSC Senior Fellow and evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg’s focuses on material from the documentary Living Waters: Intelligent Design in the Oceans of the Earth, and explains why neither natural selection nor neutral drift cannot explain the transition from a land mammal to a fully aquatic whale. Standard evolutionary models would either require implausibly large breeding populations (greater than that of any mammal species) or a waiting period far longer than the given 8-9 million years.

By Ken Ham Our hard-working and very talented A/V and media crews are very excited to give you a sneak peek of our brand-new short film, New Beginning. This touching film looks at the Noah’s flood account from an unusual angle: the perspective of Shem’s wife. This short film follows the wife of one of Noah’s sons (she is never named in Scripture) as she writes down her memories of the pre-flood world, the ark voyage, and the new world after the flood for her children. I believe you’ll find this film brings the flood account to life in a

By Ken Ham It’s always a good idea to read, but today gives you a great excuse to sit down with a good book—it’s National Read a Book Day in America! Not sure what to read?

But did you know Answers in Genesis has dozens of titles that have been released as print and digital books? You can start reading within minutes! These books won’t just entertain you. They will equip you to stand boldly on the authority of God’s Word and

By Ken Ham With the new school year beginning, the Kentucky branch of American Atheists has sent letters to schools in a few counties highlighting “a number of issues” related to “religious freedom and the rights of students.” In the letter, it’s specifically claimed that field trips to the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum in the state are “unconstitutional violations of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.” But is this really true? As we wrote back in 2016 when the Ark first opened, there is absolutely nothing unconstitutional about a public school visiting either of our world-class attractions. (We

By Ken Ham According to a recent article, in 2017 the Humanist Society of Scotland married more couples than the Church of Scotland. This increase in secular, humanist weddings is credited for the sharp rise in the religion of secularism, particularly among younger generations. Reportedly, 59% of Scots identify as “non-religious” (though no one is truly non-religious—we all have a religion, and atheism, humanism, and secularism are all religions), with nearly seven in ten of the so-called “non-religious” being under the age of 44. Not only is the number of secularists rising, the number of weddings is declining. In 1961

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid reads an excerpt from a speech prepared by philosopher, mathematician, and trailblazing design theorist William Dembski for the launch of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Dembski asks whether we need worry about an AI takeover, and says no, there’s no evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) could reach that level, or achieve consciousness, and there’s mounting evidence from both philosophy and the field of artificial intelligence technology that it cannot and will not. “The real worry,” Dembski says, “isn’t that we’ll raise machines to

This exciting event brings creationist Christian colleges from across the nation into one place, so students and parents can ask questions of college reps, view school program options, and make an informed decision about higher education. Now, these aren’t just any Christian colleges. These are schools

By Ken Ham In 2010 New York Times bestseller, Unbroken, was released. This book chronicles the true-life story of Olympian and WWII solider Louis Zamperini. After a plane crash in the Pacific, he spent 47 days floating at sea before being “rescued” by Japanese soldiers and sent to a harrowing prisoner of war camp. In 2014 Zamperini’s story was turned into the Oscar-nominated film, Unbroken. But that film didn’t tell the whole story—actually, it left out the most incredible part! Catch Unbroken: Path to Redemption in movie theaters on September 14, 2018! Zamperini returned home at the end of WWII

By Ken Ham Contrasting the biblical position on origins with secular evolution often requires tackling several controversial subjects like radiometric dating and the age of the earth, the geologic column, dinosaurs, etc. Taking these subjects head-on, the group Genesis Apologetics strengthens the faith of God’s people (teens and younger students most of all) by grounding them in biblical truth and equipping them to discern error. We’re thankful for ministries, such as Genesis Apologetics, that God has raised up to equip young people to defend their faith! Genesis Apologetics is a non-profit organization that is committed to providing Christian families with

By Ken Ham We’re increasingly seeing nations throughout the West slide rapidly into a secular, anti-God worldview that ignores God’s Word and instead encourages everyone to do what is right in their own eyes (i.e., moral relativism). This worldview exalts man as the authority, and when sinful man considers himself the authority, the result is the moral and spiritual decline we’re seeing in nations around the world, including increasingly in my home country of Australia. I’ve been saddened to read articles over the past number of months from Australian news sites reporting on radical changes taking place in that nation,
