Proof The Bible Is True

By Neil Thomas On today’s ID the Future, meet Taking Leave of Darwin author Neil Thomas, not at all the sort of person one might expect to find waging a campaign against modern evolutionary theory. An erudite and settled Darwinist living comfortably in a thoroughly secular English academic culture, Thomas nevertheless came to reject Darwinian materialism and, as he insists, did so on purely rationalist grounds. Listen in to learn about his journey and about his new book from Discovery Institute Press, Taking Leave of Darwin: A Longtime Agnostic Discovers the Case for Design.

By Stephen C. Meyer On this ID the Future, Return of the God Hypothesis author Stephen Meyer and skeptic Michael Shermer address the question of how a divine immaterial being could act in the material world to design and fashion things such as the first life. Meyer argues that while we don’t know precisely how an immaterial mind would do this or did do this, we have good evidence that minds can and do affect matter, as for instance in the evidence that our minds can affect our brains and, by extension, our bodies. Meyer and Shermer also discuss the [More]

By Stephen C. Meyer Today’s ID the Future continues a lively and cordial conversation between atheist Michael Shermer and Stephen Meyer, author of Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe. In this segment of the four-part series, Shermer and Meyer discuss a fourth argument for theism, the moral law within. Then they discuss the similarities and differences between inferring design for something like the Rosetta Stone versus inferring intelligent design from the information in DNA or the fine tuning of the universe. The interview is reposted here by permission of Michael Shermer. [More]

By Stephen C. Meyer Today’s ID the Future spotlights the first part of a lively and cordial conversation between host and atheist Michael Shermer and Stephen Meyer, author of Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe. In this first of the four-part series, the two touch on everything from Meyer’s three key lines of evidence for theism to a quick flyover of less well-known materialistic origins theories, including the oscillating universe model, panspermia as an explanation for the origin of the first life on earth, and Stephen Hawking’s idea of imaginary time.

By Ken Ham I have to tell you this month that both the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter have been groaning! But is this a bad thing? Actually, no, the groanings are good things. OK, let me explain, and then I will share our exciting plans to help deal with this groaning problem. First of all, both the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter have this groaning problem because so many people are pouring into these God-honoring facilities. The Creation Museum has been groaning a bit more than the Ark Encounter because it was built 14 years ago—and numbers have greatly [More]

By Ken Ham October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Pastors, and their families, do so much in serving their congregations, and this is a wonderful time to thank them for their service. And one way you can say “thank you” is by gifting your pastor and his wife a trip away to Northern Kentucky for our Raising Godly Generations conference, October 5–7, 2021, at the Ark Encounter. This conference, which is actually open to everyone, is generally designed for pastors and leaders to encourage them with practical advice on how to raise up godly generations in a secular world. Speakers include [More]

By Ken Ham What is abortion—a hideous evil or “a moral and social good”? Well, that depends on your starting point, God’s Word or man’s word! Sinful human beings, who are in rebellion against God and ignore his Word and look to their own selfish, dark hearts for “truth,” will affirm darkness instead of light, death instead of life, and call good evil and evil good (Isaiah 5:20). The state of Texas has been in the news recently because lawmakers have enacted a “heartbeat bill” that bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected (usually around six weeks’ gestational age).

By Ken Ham Yes, we’re already starting to think about fall events here. In just one month, the first of our fall events takes place over two days—Día Latino at the Ark Encounter, October 16, and Creation Museum, October 17. This special Spanish-speaking event takes place every fall and is growing in popularity each year as families from across the US and Latin America arrive at our attractions in N. Kentucky for two days of fun, fellowship, and diving deep into the truth of God’s Word. Spanish signage and captions will be available, along with Spanish interpreters, so Spanish speakers [More]

By Ken Ham Adventure, excitement, and getting into the dirt: that’s what you can expect with our upcoming Explore Day at Caesar Creek Lake, Ohio, where you get to be a paleontologist for a day—and you get to take home what you find! This event, taking place Saturday, October 2, 2021, is part of our popular Explore Days programs at the Creation Museum, but it’s open for adults and taking place off-site (about 60 miles from the museum) at one of the region’s most popular fossil-hunting sites. Kids can attend teaching sessions and will be able to ask questions, learning [More]

By Ken Ham Over 40 years ago, I stood on a piece of property in Australia with a friend and board member of our ministry and prayed for a creation museum—and now look what the Lord has done! I could never have imagined back in those days what God has now entrusted to us (it’s so exciting serving the Lord!). We’re reaching thousands of families every single day through the attractions, the websites, our resources, and our programming. And one of the ways we’re reaching those families is with our Explore programs at the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. [More]

By Ken Ham I recently toured Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark Encounter with a special ministry friend that many of you will recognize—actor and director Alex Kendrick. He’s best known for the movies Fireproof, War Room, and Courageous (more on Courageous in a moment!). In the below video, you can join Alex, animal presenter Karina Altman, and me as we pet a wallaby, see baby emus, and check out a few of the 200+ animals that live at the Ark Encounter. <polygon points="295.45 22.49 282.26 70.73 268.92 22.49 254.35 22.49 241.16 70.69 228.12 …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG [More]

By Ken Ham The Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter are exciting places to be! We just opened the stunning Borderland: Israel at the Time of Jesus exhibit at the Creation Museum, are five weeks into our 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music event at the Ark, are hosting an exclusive red carpet world premiere of the Kendrick Brother’s Courageous: Legacy film during our Answers for Pastors conference, and more—and now I’ve got two more announcements!

By Ken Ham Our Vacation Bible School, Answers VBS, is one of the top three in the world, used by thousands of churches around the world. And I personally believe it’s the most powerful VBS available. But what makes it different from other VBS options? Well, Answers VBS isn’t “fluff and stuff” like many other curricula, and it’s filled with deep content to give children a solid biblical foundation. That’s why Answers VBS is filled with apologetics (i.e., a faith defense) teaching, a biblical authority emphasis, and science experiments, great music, and much more. And it’s also why the topics [More]

By Cornelius G. Hunter On this episode of ID the Future from the vault, host and biologist Ray Bohlin interviews biophysicist Cornelius Hunter, author of Darwin’s God, about an article in the journal Science concerning a virus invasion of E. coli bacteria. The article subtitle announces “Natural Selection Caught in the Act,” and suggests that an impressive instance of unguided evolution has been directly witnessed. Not so fast, Hunter says. The results were intelligently designed (by the lab scientists), he notes, and the changes are less impressive than they may appear at first glance. Hunter also explains protein-protein binding and [More]

By Ken Ham Well, after forty busy days and nights at the Ark Encounter, our massive 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music event is now finished … for this year—and what an event it was! Guests from across the nation (and some international guests despite many borders being closed) enjoyed music from some of the biggest names in Gospel music, including Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Lynda Randle, Karen Peck & New River, Brian Free & Assurance, and many, many more. This final week included speaking from Dr. David Jeremiah and music from Joseph Habedank, High Road, Triumphant, [More]

By Brian Miller On today’s ID the Future physicist Brian Miller and host Eric Anderson continue their exploration of a recent conversation between origin-of-life investigators Jeremy England and Paul Davies on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable? radio show. Miller begins with a quick flyover of the many nanotechnologies essential to even to the simplest viable cell. A minimally complex cell is vastly more sophisticated than our best human nanotechnology. What about England’s insistence that real progress has been made in origin-of-life studies since the 1950s? True, Anderson says, but the progress has been principally in better understanding how the simplest cells function, [More]

By Brian Miller On today’s ID the Future physicist Brian Miller and host Eric Anderson explore a recent conversation between physicists Jeremy England and Paul Davies on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable? radio show. Davies admitted he doesn’t want the origin of life to require divine design, while England argued that his work on non-equilibrium systems offers a promising avenue for explaining the origin of the first life in naturalistic terms. Miller and Anderson demur on both counts. They hold out hope that Davies, having recognized his philosophical bias, will eventually decide to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if doing [More]
