A video recorded by a missionary to China captures the emotion exuded by a group of Chinese Christians who obtained a copy of the Bible for the first time in their life. The video, uploaded by a YouTube user named “alberttiago1,” shows a gathering of Chinese citizens opening a suitcase containing what appears to be dozens of copies of the Bible. When the suitcase is opened, “oohs” and squeals fill the air, and the Christians rush forward with much excitement to grab a copy.

(from site admin: please forward this article on to others. It’s time to stand for what we believe). Christian education is under attack in America as never before. Yesterday on this website, we highlighted the plight of the Romeikes, a German Christian family who is seeking asylum in America because the German government forbids their homeschool instruction. The Obama Administration is siding with the German government and its view of homeschooling, and they are seeking to deport this family who wants to educate their children in accord with God’s Word. If the U.S. Attorney General succeeds in denying their asylum,

By Ken Ham Pastor Chuck Smith, the founder of the Calvary Chapel network of international churches, spoke to the staff at Answers in Genesis and toured the Creation Museum on Tuesday. “Pastor Chuck” (as he is known) started his ministry in the 1960s in southern California. Today in America, there are now over 1,000 Calvary Chapels as well as Christian schools and Bible colleges linked to the Calvary Chapel movement. There are also dozens of congregations in the UK (I have spoken at the London church a couple of times), plus Calvary Chapels in other nations. It’s not a denomination

By Ken Ham Recently, a South Carolina Christian school has come under attack for having biblical creation in its curriculum. The controversy was the result of a parent from the school showing a friend a copy of his daughter’s dinosaur quiz, and that friend took a photo of it and posted it on the Internet. The questions on the quiz were based on an Answers in Genesis DVD that was shown at the school. Today’s lead article on the Answers in Genesis website covers this issue in more detail—I have provided a link to it below. But before reading the

By Ken Ham Well, the Garden of Eden must have been a beautiful place—that is, before sin changed everything! And of course the Flood of Noah’s day totally destroyed the pre-Flood world, including the Garden of Eden. We can’t visit the Garden of Eden today, but you can visit the spectacular gardens at the Creation Museum instead and, despite a fallen world, get a sense of the beauty of God’s creation. For many fans of the Creation Museum, the next four weeks are the best time of the year to visit. Not only do they avoid the possibility of some

By Ken Ham Earlier this month, I wrote a blog post about a Christian family—originally from Germany—that had been attempting to home educate their children in their homeland. The family had asked for asylum in America because of the persecution they were facing in Germany (which included fines and possible imprisonment). A judge in Tennessee granted them asylum, but the Obama Administration has challenged the asylum ruling. In Romeike v. Holder, oral arguments were heard in a U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati on Tuesday about the Romeike family’s asylum request. While in the area, the Romeikes, including their six

The standard secular timeline, from an alleged ‘big bang’ some 15 billion years ago to now, is accepted by most people in the evangelical Christian world, even though many would deny evolution. Some would even say that to dispute billions of years is to place an unnecessary stumbling block in the way of any scientifically-minded potential converts.This is in contrast to the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Creator made flesh,1 as well as several of the biblical authors,2 which makes it plain that this is wrong—people were there from the beginning of creation. But in the evolutionary timeline,

By Ken Ham This year marks the 43rd anniversary of what some people celebrate today as “Earth Day”—a date set aside each year to increase awareness of environmental issues. I’ve noted many times in the past that there is a heavy connection to Earth Day and paganism, but I think it’s important to remind everyone once again about the problems surrounding this day. Now, Christians agree that they are called to be good stewards of the Lord’s resources (e.g., Psalm 24:1; Colossians 3:23). We were commanded in Genesis to care for God’s creation. We are to use it Read more here:

By Ken Ham We are blessed to have many special speakers visit AiG and encourage us during our regular staff meetings. Thursday’s guest presenter was Tom Kiser, who heads up a unique ministry—involving a “Prayer Stand”—called Prayer Stand International. Tom and his volunteers are spread across the country as they set up a tall-standing prayer pole in places that have a lot of foot traffic. He encouraged our staff to share their faith with passion, and he presented one way to do it—using the Prayer Stand and offering to pray for people and to talk with them. During these difficult,

By Ken Ham Whenever I write a blog post like this one, I am always concerned that someone will misunderstand, so I wanted to write the following caveat to help stop such a misunderstanding. I am grieved when I hear of the shocking killing of children in Connecticut, the maiming and killing of people by bombs at the Boston Marathon, the 9/11 attack, etc. After all, such tragedies will continue to take place because we live in a fallen world cursed with sin, with sinful human beings who are in rebellion against the Creator God (Genesis 3; Romans 1:18–31). Such sinful

By Ken Ham Recently I wrote a blog post titled “Skeptics Not Telling the Truth.” A few weeks ago, a small group of skeptics had contacted our publicist to obtain free passes to visit the Creation Museum. One of the jobs of our publicist is to vet requests from people who request complimentary passes as journalists and to determine if they are full-time professional journalists. These people who requested passes were not deemed to be legitimate journalists. Such skeptics usually come only to mock AiG and the Creation Museum and not write a balanced report. Now, there are professional journalists

By Ken Ham We live in a world that increasingly strives to (supposedly) promote the idea of tolerance, but actually becomes intolerant of Christian absolutes as it does so. Whether it involves religion, behavior, or human sexuality, there is a growing anti-Christian sentiment in America and other Western nations. Ultimately, built into this “tolerance” is the concept that truth is determined by each individual, not by God. This has led many people to conclude that making judgments on anyone (especially coming from Christians) is wrong because the Bible says ”judge not” (Matthew 7:1). Interestingly enough, those who reject the notion

By Ken Ham As many of you are aware, the theme we have chosen for the AiG ministry over the next two years is “Standing Our Ground, Rescuing Our Kids.” This theme is based on Galatians 1:4 (about rescuing people from this evil age). As I speak across America, I meet thousands of children who come to the AiG conferences, including our special children’s programs. It is such a thrill to meet children who have been taught using AiG resources. Over the years many of them have given me letters, cards, and artwork. Recently, some children gave me artwork and notes
