On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Frank Tipler discusses how leading science journals are increasingly hostile to new ideas, publishing only papers that are consistent with the dominant views of the scientific community. Tipler argues that if Einstein were to try to get a paper on his relativity theory published under today’s peer-review system, he would certainly be rejected, and reminds us that in order to cultivate great scientists, academia needs to encourage them to challenge conformity. …read more

I recently learned that the Verbum Domini Bible manuscript exhibit inside our Creation Museum—which is a part of the Green Collection that will be on display in Washington DC in the future Museum of the Bible—will be featured tonight in a segment on the nationally syndicated program The List. The show’s website describes the program as “a television news magazine that finds the intersection between the news of the day and pop culture … founded around something we all use to stay on track – lists – to look at daily consumer issues and the hottest news trends.” This

More and more, we are seeing the widespread acceptance of homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage in our Western cultures. Even some in the church are advocating in favor of so-called “gay rights.” And as pro-homosexual advocates have pushed the “gay” agenda in America, they have attempted to frame the cause as a civil rights issue. But can we really say that the homosexual cause is the same as the civil rights movement? Dr. Al Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a friend of Answers in Genesis, answers that question in an article in the next Answers

Dr. John Dickson, a professing Christian and a scholar in ancient history (particularly the history surrounding Christ), recently appeared on the Australian TV show Q & A. (The transcript and video are available at this link.) Sadly, Dr. Dickson didn’t go on the show to defend the accuracy of the history in the Bible. What Dickson apparently wanted to do was show his support for much of the mission of the New Atheists. That’s right—an influential Australian Christian was seen on national TV standing with the atheists. Now, Dr. Dickson has a degree in theology from Moore Theological College

By Ken Ham Every now and then, amidst all the sad things I inform you about concerning the state of the church and culture, I like to encourage you as others encourage us. Here is a letter we received from a family in Illinois: My family and I recently took a road trip from central Illinois to Utah and southern Colorado. One of the trip highlights was our stop in Vernal, UT where we visited the modestly sized but high quality “Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum” Prominent in their display content were some beautiful fossilized leaves that

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Biologic Insitute director Douglas Axe about his peer-reviewed paper in BIO-Complexity, “The Limit of Complex Adaptation: An Analysis Based on a Simple Model of Structured Bacterial Populations.” Dr. Axe explains complex adaptations — adaptive changes that require more than one simple mutation to a genome in order for a particular adaptation to work — and the difficulty Darwinian evolution faces when beneficial mutations have maladaptive intermediate stages. …read more
If you’ve not yet made your summer vacation plans, I want to suggest something that would not only be wonderful fun for your entire family, but you’ll also learn practical scriptural truths—all in a scenic part of America. Every year AiG holds a national family conference, and this July we’ll be gathering once again in Sevierville, Tennessee, on the northern edge of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. We held our annual conference three years ago in the same excellent venue, and 2,900 people turned out. This time, we’re having even more programs for children, including a Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Listen Now On this episode of ID The Future, Jay Richards talks with Professor and author John Lennox about one of his latest books, Seven Days that Divide the World: The Beginning According to Genesis and Science. In his book, Lennox delves into controversial issues surrounding science and faith, answering common questions regarding apparent tensions between scripture and scientific evidence. Tune in as Professor Lennox demonstrates that science and faith are indeed compatible.
By Ken Ham Well, yet another evolutionist is claiming that creationism is “child abuse.” Lawrence Krauss, a professor at Arizona State University, recently announced that he believes teaching biblical creation to youngsters is “child abuse.” Of course, he’s just one among a number of atheists and evolutionists who has leveled this charge against creationists. What’s more, Krauss makes the fallacious claim that technological advancement is tied to a belief in evolution—an argument that I’ve refuted many times on this website and in my public talks. Krauss is an ardent atheist and even goes to so far as to directly blaspheme

Listen Now Part 1 Part 3 On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin once again sits down with Dr. Frank Tipler, Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Tulane University and author of The Anthropic Cosmological Principle. Casey and Dr. Tipler continue their discussion on fine tuning in the universe, the multiverse, and the evidence for cosmic design.
Listen Now. Part 2 Part 3 On this episode of ID the Future, hear from Frank Tipler, Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Tulane University and author of The Anthropic Cosmological Principle. Dr. Tipler compares the perspectives of Einstein and Darwin and explains how the difference in their views applies to the debate over origins, Darwinian evolution, and intelligent design.
Listen Now On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Cecil Phillips, who tells the story of how he was expelled from Americans United for Separation of Church and State because he was a scientific skeptic of Darwinian evolution. Listen in as they discuss how the Darwin lobby seeks to marginalize Darwin skeptics by branding them with inaccurate labels and shutting down free speech.
Are you committing a form of “child abuse”? If you are teaching your child that God’s Word in Genesis is true, then Dr. Lawrence Krauss believes you are indeed committing child abuse. …read more Source: AIG Daily
Listen Now Part 1 Part 2 On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin and Dr. Frank Tipler continue their discussion of fine-tuning, the multiverse, and the cosmological evidence for design. Dr. Tipler argues that the initial conditions of the universe must have been “fine-tuned,” explaining that our universe was at its minimum entropy at its beginning. The probability of this condition occurring randomly is 1 in 1010^123 -staggeringly unlikely. Could the universe be “self-creating,” as Stephen Hawking has argued? Listen in as Tipler says the answer is “No.”
By Ken Ham Parents, we have to rescue our kids from a culture that has abandoned the authority of God’s Word. The secularists and those who aggressively promote a secular worldview are after our children—and it doesn’t seem to matter how young they are. Last year, a new children’s “board book” was released, titled A is for Activist. Now, board books are often geared toward toddlers (ages 1–3) and contain rhymes and simple stories. A is for Activist has all those elements, but it teaches children a secular worldview! The author, Innosanto Nagara, has not shared his religious views to

By Ken Ham Religious freedoms, at least for Christians, took a blow in the United Kingdom not long ago. A recent article from BBC News declared, “British Airways Christian Employee Nadia Eweida Wins Case.” In 2006, Eweida was asked by her employer, British Airways, to remove a cross she wore around her neck. She refused, and her case was taken through various court systems until it was heard by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). (British Airways has since changed its policy, allowing people to wear “symbols of faith.”) And while this may seem like a victory for UK

Listen Now On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin shows how the film The Revisionaries revises history. Coming soon to PBS, The Revisionaries falsely suggests that intelligent design and creationism were required in the 2009 Texas Science Standards (TEKS) and pushed for by ignorant fundamentalist board members who ignored the advice of all qualified experts. Tune in as Casey exposes this misinformation and reviews the hard facts.
By Ken Ham Dr. Deborah Haarsma (previously a professor at Calvin College, a Christian college in Michigan) is the newest president of BioLogos (an organization attempting to get the church to reject a literal Genesis). She recently contributed to a series of articles on whether there really was an historical Adam. Her article, “Historical Adam: Embracing the Questions,” does just that—it embraces questions and provides no answers. In fact, it sows more doubt and confusion than anything. Haarsma accepts evolutionary ideas and mixes them with Scripture, a view that is known as theistic evolution or evolutionary creation. After listing a
