By Ken Ham What an amazing year of impact we’ve been blessed with at Answers in Genesis! And as we approach the end of the year, we’ve been additionally blessed with another great opportunity to impact millions of souls through God’s provision of a generous end-of-year matching gift. Once again, several supporters have committed to a $1.25 million year-end matching gift to fund new additions at the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, including new Children’s Adventure Areas at both of these attractions and exciting new exhibits in the next phase of the museum upgrade. <img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2018/12/museum-upgrade-plan3.jpg" …read more Source:

By Ken Ham Sharing the gospel with others can be difficult. Here at Answers in Genesis, we work hard to provide you with answers to the skeptical questions of our day, so you can boldly share the gospel with others. And we’re thankful for our friends—Ray Comfort, “EZ,” and their colleagues—over at the Living Waters ministry, located in California. They are dedicated to equipping believers with resources and practical knowledge so they can reach the lost. One way they do this is through their YouTube channel, which has just exploded recently. The general manager of Living Waters shared that their

By Ken Ham Americans own a lot of stuff—apparently the average American home has over 300,000 items in it! Because of this, many individuals and parents are increasingly asking instead for gifts of experience, rather than gifts of “stuff.” Gifts of experience often bring families or couples together to do something fun and make life-long memories—without cluttering up the house. And we’ve got some exciting gifts of experience, including trips to dinosaur digs, the wilds of Alaska, and a comedy night out—experiences that can have an eternal, spiritual impact. These gifts will not only build wonderful memories, but will also

By Ken Ham Instead of saying, “beat a dead horse,” animal activist group PETA wants you to say, “feed a fed horse.” They also want to change “kill two birds with one stone” to “feed two birds with one scone,” “take a bull by its horns” to become “take a flower by its thorns,” and “bring home the bacon” to see the salty pork product exchanged for bagels. Why? To “remove speciesism” from daily conversation. Their tweet declared that these common sayings are “anti-animal language” that we should stop using. Along with an image of the offending sayings, and their

Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society with the editor of the book, Dr. John West. Boze and Dr. West discuss how some have tried to construe C.S.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, bioethicist Wesley J. Smith exposes the horror of “Medically Assistance in Dying” (MAi/D) in Canada. Worse than physician-assisted suicide, this is medical homicide. Hospitals are even advertising it. Doctors in at least one province have no choice but to be complicit in these killings, or else leave their specialties or even quit medicine altogether. Will MAiD come to America, too?

If our loving Creator God meant for humans to live on earth forever without death ever happening does this not mean that, because of the geographical size of our planet, very few people would ever actually experience the gift of life? Does not the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ reveal another, non-physical, dimension to which we move when physical death occurs thus allowing others to experience life on earth after us? I am reminded of the Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin, who said “we are not human beings on a spiritual journey but spiritual beings on a human journey.”

Parts of the Bible are hard to understand. As even the Apostle Peter found some of Paul’s letters difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:16), there is no shame in admitting that parts of the Bible may initially not make sense to us. When we are confronted with passages that seem violent, counterintuitive, or just gross, we have two options. We can do the hard work to understand the passage in its context and figure out what the appropriate application is today, or we can do what Andy Stanley models in Irresistible. Irresistible repeats the message that Stanley preached in

He is the author of five books, and has published scholarly articles in German Studies Review, Journal of the History of Ideas, and other journals.

Pointedly, Weikart warns against taking isolated statements of Hitler in order to draw conclusions about his

By Ken Ham A blog appeared recently on the website for Americans United for Separation of Church and State titled, “Creationists Remain Hard at Work Trying to Block Sound Science Education.” It laments the tide of public opinion against evolution in the US and the way this influences how teachers present evolutionary ideas in the classroom. But I think headline should read instead, “AU Works Hard to Stop Every Student from Being Taught the Truth Regarding Evolution.” AU is really a group (just like the FFRF) that bullies those who don’t agree with them, trying to impose their anti-God religion

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Biola philosopher J. P. Moreland concludes a four-part series with host Mike Keas on scientism (not to be confused with objective scientific investigation). Moreland calls scientism “the single most destructive idea on the stage of life today. … It’s evil and it’s everywhere.” Strong words! But he isn’t without hope. Moreland explains how moral knowledge can be stronger, more secure, than even much scientific knowledge, and far more secure than the self-defeating materialist ideology that is scientism. He’s distilling arguments from his new book Scientism and Secularism: Learning to Respond

By Ken Ham As word continues to spread nationwide (and even internationally) about the amazing Ark Encounter and high-tech Creation Museum, more and more “grassroots” tour groups, as I might call them, are making the trek here to Northern Kentucky. There’s a constant flow of families through our gates—with many children and teens—plus church groups and other groups (including many non-Christians). One very loyal couple in Iowa has been sending buses of guests our way for several years from hundreds of miles away. As volunteers, Ellen and Roger Bauer have organized these trips and found nearly 1,000 tourists from Iowa

By Ken Ham It’s long been believed the great Inca civilization never left behind any written records. But what if that’s just because we couldn’t recognize their writing? A fascinating new study reveals the Incas did leave a written history behind—we just didn’t recognize it. This civilization was complex and absolutely massive, stretching from modern-day Ecuador to Chile during the 1400s. They built a system of roads and woven bridges to connect the land, built ziggurats that still astound engineers today, and left behind a bevy of artifacts for us to puzzle over. One such group of artifacts is known

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, philosopher J. P. Moreland explains from his new book Scientism and Secularism: Learning to Respond to a Dangerous Ideology how scientism helped bring about Darwinism’s current widespread acceptance. Ironically, the process involved some scientists who dismiss theology … doing theology, and doing it not very well. Moreland says this is just one of the reasons that it’s rational to buck the consensus on evolution. Please consider donating to support the IDTF Podcast.
