By Ken Ham No, I am not exaggerating or being salacious with the headline for today’s blog. The United Nations organization really does want sex with minors (they give no age limit to what a minor means!), sex work (including “pimping” out women and men), and abortion completely decriminalized. All this, and more, in the name of so-called “human rights.” It’s the depravity of man on display for the world to see. In a recent report (which took five years to complete), a panel of jurists, along with the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the Office of the

By Ken Ham Did you know a lot of information can be conveyed by seemingly hidden things that are actually in plain sight? That is true of the Answers in Genesis ministry in many ways. At the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, we offer fascinating exhibit tours highlighting elements that are “hidden in plain sight.” This month, in regard to the entire Answers in Genesis ministry, I want to share things with you that are hidden but also in plain sight. First of all, let’s consider names. Names are very important, and names have power—in many ways, names define

By Ken Ham Why is the family under such an aggressive attack in our Western culture? Well, it’s because we’re fighting a spiritual battle and our ultimate enemy, Satan, hates God and hates all those who bear his image. And he knows that the family is the foundational unit of society. Destroy the family and society—and, by doing so, wreak havoc, cause untold amounts of suffering, and lead untold numbers to a Christless eternity. Marriage and family are God’s institutions. God created the family when he made the first man and woman (that’s the first marriage) and told them to

By Ken Ham Answers in Genesis is growing again! As I detailed in a late February blog, we’re moving our offices from the Creation Museum to our new “International Headquarters” building—a building that will be such a blessing to our growing staff but will also house our K–12 school, Answers Academy. And interior demolition for construction and remodeling has begun! As you can see in the photo below, the left side of the new headquarters building will house Answers Academy—which is a big praise because our biblical worldview and discipleship school with high academic standards is growing rapidly! They definitely

By Ken Ham When people come to the Creation Museum (and it’s the same at our sister attraction, Ark Encounter), they might not realize they’re immediately entering an exhibit. You see, the parking lot is really an extra “exhibit”! During our very busy summer season, we’ve had days where we’ve seen license plates from over 40 states on the same day! As you walk around the parking lot, you’ll notice there are license plates from all across the country. It is not unusual at the Creation Museum and Ark to see license plates from more than 30 states on any

By Herman B. Bouma What happens when someone tries to present to the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) Charles Darwin’s top arguments against his own theory? Herman Bouma, founder of the National Association for Objectivity in Science, knows from personal experience. As he relates to host Casey Luskin on this ID the Future, he recently had a poster presentation on the topic accepted for an NSTA conference, but then a defender of Darwinian orthodoxy rushed in and spiked it. Bouma describes the censored presentation and the Kafkaesque back and forth he says he had with the organizer, who ultimately shut

By Ken Ham I’ve had many Christians express dismay at what they see as a plethora of problems in the culture, such as abortion, gender issues, LGBTQ, gay “marriage,” racism, and so on. They have said to me that there are so many problems to battle, we can’t fight them all. It’s almost like they want to throw their hands in the air and give up because the problems seem so overwhelming. But are these really all separate problems? Many churches haven’t taught people to think foundationally, and therefore most Christians don’t understand that all these issues are really just

By Ken Ham The battle over the sanctity of life is one that’s waged on the pro-death (i.e., pro-abortion) side by bullying, shallow catchphrases, poor logic, and, above all, many lies and deception. These tactics shouldn’t surprise us—after all, we’re engaged in a spiritual battle with an enemy who is “the father of lies” and “a murderer from the beginning,” who seeks to “steal and kill and destroy” (John 8:44, 10:10). This was on full display recently in a disgusting tweet from California Representative Ted Lieu. A “Pregnancy” at 9 Weeks? Here’s what he tweeted: He …read more Source: Ken

By Ken Ham Is what I am about to write a radical idea? It may seem like one, but I want to challenge Christians to think from a biblical worldview. And that challenge may seem radical, but sometimes we do need radical change because the world has gone so far away from the truth of God’s Word! Okay, here’s my “radical” challenge. When students are taught in biology classes about the kingdoms of life, they’re usually taught that there are six different kingdoms, including the animal kingdom. Now, humans have physical characteristics like a mammal’s and are classified in the

By Ken Ham My wife, Mally, and I have a favorite bird. Naturally, our favorite bird lives in Australia, the land of our birth. Do you know its name? Here’s a hint: When we lived in Australia, we would often hear its characteristic “laugh” early in the morning. Okay, what’s our favorite bird? It’s called the kookaburra! Now for some great news. Do you want to see our favorite bird? Well, we have now welcomed Silas, the laughing kookaburra, to our Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark Encounter! <img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2023/04/ark-silas-kookaburra4.jpg" …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG

By Steve Laufmann On this ID the Future from the vault, Steve Laufmann critiques an article by Nathan Lents, “The Botch of the Human Body.” The article purports to show that so-called “design errors” in the human body prove it wasn’t designed. Laufmann describes five ways Lents’ argument is a “bizarre blend of ignorance and arrogance.” For instance, Lents often ignores something basic to engineering—the necessity of design tradeoffs. For a more in-depth response to Lents and to others making similar bad-design arguments for mindless evolution, see Laufmann’s new book, co-authored with physician Howard Glicksman, Your Designed Body.

By Ken Ham There is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Many Christians have asked me what is happening in our culture concerning the dramatic rise in moral relativism and the increasing prevalence of the LGBTQ worldview. They’ve said, “We’ve never seen our culture like this before, nor have we seen the battle over transgenderism as we see it regarding children today. What is happening to our culture?” Many seem to think that what is happening is new. But it’s not new. We are just seeing it in ways we never have before in the West. Really, “there is

By Ken Ham Next month, the UK will host an event that will be watched by millions—the coronation of the King of England, Charles III. This event will be lush with pomp and ceremony, and virtually all the socialites of the British Commonwealth will be there, along with millions of other spectators. But all this pales in comparison to what’s coming when the King of all kings returns—then it won’t be millions watching—it will be billions, as every person will know the King has come. But whether Christ returns today or far in the future, we are to continue obeying

By Ken Ham Christians can have fun too! When we added zip line courses (the biggest and best in the Midwest) at both the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, some people mocked us, saying, “Why are you adding zip lines to a Christian attraction?” My answer? “Because Christians can have fun too!” Over time, we have added lots of fun things for families at both attractions, and we intend to add a lot more as we are able. Here are just a few of …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG
