The Creation Museum began a new billboard campaign last year using dinosaurs to promote the museum. Of course, many secularists were outraged by the billboards, claiming that we only use dinosaurs to attract children. And really, that’s one of the reasons why we used them—dinosaurs are appealing to people of all ages, and the Creation Museum teaches visitors the truth about dinosaurs and man. (You can read more about this billboard controversy in my blog post titled Do Atheists Own the Dinosaurs?) Just to refresh your memory, here are a few of the twenty different billboards that have been Source:

James McGrath is an Associate Professor in the Religion and Philosophy department at Butler University, Indiana. He has written a number of scathing blog posts against me and Answers in Genesis. Now, we are reminded time and time again by academics that a university is supposed to be a place for the free exchange of ideas. But McGrath can’t tolerate that view. Recently the BSFM (Butler Staff and Faculty Ministry) sent an invitation to faculty, staff, and students to attend a brown bag lunch presentation by AiG researcher and writer Dr. Terry Mortenson. James McGrath, who can’t tolerate anyone who

Click here to listen. On this episode of ID the Future, listen to the first segment of a recent talk that Casey Luskin gave on ID and law where he unpacks the definition of intelligent design. As Casey points out, intelligent design involves much more than just a critique of Darwinian evolution; it uses reasoning to recognize patterns that show an intelligent origin, similar to methods employed in archaeology and forensic science.
Well, I recently read yet about another example of blatant evolutionary indoctrination in a biology course—but this time it’s happening in a Christian school! Eric Kretschmer, a church youth director in Alaska and a high school AP biology teacher in a Christian school, recently wrote an article for BioLogos explaining how he handles evolution in the classroom. It’s titled “A Tale of Two Worldviews: Being a Biology Teacher in a Christian School.” The BioLogos website states that “Eric Kretschmer is Youth Director at Chapel By The Sea in Anchorage, Alaska, which encompasses teaching, planning and running retreats, and coordinating

Well, we just completed the second annual Children’s Ministry Leaders’ Conference here at the Creation Museum. This year, the speakers included Bodie Hodge, Dr. Georgia Purdom, Ruth Carter, and Stacia McKeever. I also spoke. The conference was attended by 250 children’s workers and leaders—representing 26 different states! They came from as far away as Oregon, California, Texas, Florida, and New York. It was great to see a group of leaders so passionate about ministering to children and rescuing our kids from this evil age. Attendees obtained large numbers of resources that will Impact potentially thousands upon thousands of children Read

The frightful level of thought control in American academia A review of Free to Think: Why Scientific Integrity Matters by Dr Caroline Crocker Leafcutter Press, Southworth, WA, 2010 Reviewed by John Woodmorappe Dr Caroline Crocker, according to the opinions of many of her students, was an outstanding biology teacher. She was falsely accused of—horror of horrors—teaching creationism in class. Actually, all she had done was point out some of the weaknesses of evolutionary theory. For this, she was first demoted to teaching lab classes, and then—surprise—her contract was shortened and not renewed. Her dismissal for ‘teaching creationism’ was a kiss

By Ken Ham Recently, a news item reported on a presentation I made at an AiG-sponsored dessert during the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Tennessee last week. The article on this presentation was taken up by many other Christian news sites, and it was even reported on some secular blogs. A number of people have asked if the actual presentation I gave was recorded on video. It was not, but a similar talk I gave late last year was recorded and now is available through AiG. This DVD deals with the many positions of compromise on Genesis and includes many

by Jonathan Sarfati We know today that all it takes to have a day-night cycle is a rotating Earth and light coming from one direction. The Bible tells us clearly that God created light on the first day, as well as the Earth. Thus we can deduce that the Earth was already rotating in space relative to this created light. God can, of course, create light without a secondary source. We are told that in the new heavens and Earth there will be no need for sun or moon (Rev 21:23). In Genesis, God even defines a day and a

Many of you likely heard about the recent controversy over football player Tim Tebow’s bowing out of speaking at First Baptist Church in Dallas. Now, I was greatly encouraged by Pastor Robert Jeffress’s stand in defense of the biblical definition of marriage. He has boldly stood in the face of criticism to defend what the Bible says about this contentious issue. And this week, Pastor Jeffress appeared on The O’Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, hosted by Bill O’Reilly. (You can watch the full interview on YouTube.) O’Reilly has been on the attack lately against Bible-believing Christians, including …read

The Bell Tomb Engraving by Dave Miller, Ph.D. Carlisle Cathedral The worldwide evidence that man and dinosaurs cohabited is prolific and indisputable (see Lyons and Butt, 2008). Yet, the evolutionary community stubbornly continues to deny that such evidence exists. The extreme bias manifested by such denials is self-evident—what logicians label “cavalier dismissal” (Carson, 1984, p. 120). Rather than allowing the evidence to speak for itself, evolutionists are so committed to their theory that they simply dismiss any proof presented that contradicts their views—since they have already pre-decided that the evolutionary framework is true. They seem to be incapable of allowing

Physical Evidence for the Coexistence of Dinosaurs and Humans [Part I] by Eric Lyons, M.Min. Kyle Butt, M.A. People generally enjoy showing pictures of places they have visited and things they have seen. Simply telling someone about a trip, say, to Sequoia National Park, is one thing; showing that person a picture of you standing next to the largest tree in Sequoia National Park, named General Sherman (which also is the largest tree on the planet), is entirely different. As the old adage goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” People constantly take pictures of things they want to
