We’re nearly a week into our 40 Days and 40 Nights of Gospel Music event—the largest Christian music festival in the world. Various award-winning artists have performed to the delight of our guests (including multiple visitors who shared that they received Christ as their Savior after hearing the gospel message presented!). And there’s more coming each day and night through September 10, 2021, south of Cincinnati. This week, we welcomed The Hoppers, Soul’d Out, Fields of Grace, Legacy Five,

By Eric Metaxas On this classic ID the Future, bestselling author Eric Metaxas tackles the question, Does a commitment to science mean the death of God? Metaxas answers: Just the opposite. Increasingly, science makes the case for God. He and host David Boze discuss his ultra-viral op-ed at the Wall Street Journal making that argument, and Metaxas addresses what he says are strawmen critiques of the article. The two men also discuss Metaxas’s book, new at the time of this interview, Miracles: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How They Can Change Your Life. Source …read more Source: id

By Jay Richards On today’s ID the Future, philosopher Jay Richards, co-author of The Privileged Planet, continues a conversation with host Eric Anderson about Carl Sagan and a short video clip where Sagan fields questions about God. Sagan points out that there are different conceptions of God, but Jay asks, what’s his point? There are different conceptions of nature. That doesn’t mean that nature isn’t out there and that there aren’t true and false things that can be said about it. Also, when the vast majority of people speak about God, they have in mind a powerful, conscious Creator of

By Jay Richards On today’s ID the Future, Privileged Planet co-author Jay W. Richards sits down with host Eric Anderson to discuss the gold rush of extrasolar planet discovery and how the Privileged Planet hypothesis has held up since 2004. Richards teases an anniversary edition of The Privileged Planet in the works, and he and Anderson discuss the statement that Carl Sagan is perhaps most famous for. Richards explains how science had already disproven the famous Sagan claim by the time the astronomer first uttered it to millions of viewers in his documentary series Cosmos.

By Ken Ham Since I started speaking on creation apologetics back in the 1970s, providing the church with resources has been a passion of mine. Because of that, it’s always been a focus of the Answers in Genesis ministry. And we love hearing from families that have been blessed by these resources. We recently received two testimonies that I thought I would share with you. S.H. from Michigan shared how she started using our homeschooling resources (many of them are published by Master Books) and how they have blessed her and her family: I wanted to reach out because I

By Ken Ham Over the years, we’ve had a variety of planetarium shows in our Stargazer Planetarium here at the Creation Museum. Guests always rave about the program, but the most popular show is Created Cosmos, a journey through the vastness of the universe. Well, we completely upgraded our planetarium last year with a new laser projector, tilted dome, new seats, a totally new look, and more—and now Created Cosmos has been completely upgraded to 4K resolution, so it really “pops” with the new technology. It’s like watching a whole new program! The script and narration for Created Cosmos are

By Ken Ham The tour that sold out in minutes is coming back to the Ark Encounter! What do I mean? Well, several years ago the award-winning gospel music group, The Collingsworth Family, came to perform in concert at the Ark Encounter. Within minutes of the tickets going live, they were sold out. But if you missed that first concert experience, don’t miss their Inspiration Encounter 2021 because The Collingsworth Family is coming back to the Ark Encounter October 28–30, 2021. This exciting three-day retreat features concerts by The Collingsworth Family, Larnelle Harris, the Booth Brothers, Greater Vision, Keaton Family

By Michael Behe On this ID the Future, ID biologist Michael Behe continues fielding tough questions from philosophers Pat Flynn and Jim Madden. Here in Part 3 of 3, Behe responds to the claim that some designs in biology are bad designs and to criticisms leveled at ID from some Thomists. Also in the mix, the issue of academic pressure to distance oneself from ID, even before those involved understand what the theory of intelligent design actually is. Madden also asks Behe what reforms he’d pursue if he suddenly found himself in charge of the National Academy of Sciences. Tune

By Michael Behe In today’s ID the Future, intelligent design pioneer Michael Behe continues his conversation with philosophers Pat Flynn and Jim Madden. Here in Part 2 of a three-part series, Behe offers an illustration from language and Madden presses him, noting that meaning detection in language is not parts to whole. A lively exchange ensues and then Behe turns the discussion back to his primary focus, detecting design in molecular biological machines by recognizing the purposeful arrangement of parts. From there the conversation turns to everything from epigenetics, systems biology, and autopoiesis to co-option, mousetraps, tie clips, biologist Kenneth

By Michael Behe Today’s ID the Future features Darwin Devolves author and Lehigh University biologist Michael Behe speaking about the logic and evidence of intelligent design with two philosophers, Pat Flynn and Jim Madden. In a friendly, stimulating exchange, Flynn and Madden press Behe with objections — some philosophic, others scientific — to see how well his position stands up to scrutiny from experts who have engaged the subject. Here in Part 1 of a three-part series, Behe counters the charge that ID is an argument from ignorance, and then the three men compare the contemporary design argument to philosopher

By Ken Ham In the fall, many churches resume their regular Sunday school curriculum after a summer break. If that’s your church, now is a great time to consider changing up what you do for Sunday school. If you want to use something that is “meaty,” chronological, and focused on the gospel message while teaching the whole Bible, doctrine, theology, Christian worldview, and apologetics (not merely moralistic “fluff and stuff”!), consider Answers Bible Curriculum for Sunday School (ABC). Over 10,000 churches use ABC—and we frequently hear from pastors and Sunday school teachers who share that ABC is revolutionizing their churches.

By Michael Behe On today’s ID the Future, author and biologist Michael Behe discusses with host Andrew McDiarmid how the once seemingly humble cilium is actually even more irreducibly complex than Behe suggested in his ID classic Darwin’s Black Box—and indeed, even more complex than his review of cilia in his update in 2007. At the time Behe described cilia as “irreducible complexity squared.” But as noted in a recent article at Evolution News, even more layers of sophistication in cilia and their Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) system have now been discovered. So, does that mean we are now looking at

By Ken Ham Scientific American is supposedly a scientific publication. Well, as such, they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a badly researched opinion piece to be printed recently. In an article titled “Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy,” filmmaker Allison Hopper, a believer in the evolutionary “out-of-Africa” model, opines about how the supposed dark-skinned ancestors we evolved from are so often left out in museums and in books. In the process, she smears biblical creationists by claiming we believe and teach something we certainly do not! The author writes what can hardly be described as

Günter Bechly is a distinguished German paleoentomologist who was an atheist and Darwinist but became convinced of theism after he finally decided to read some of the books written by leading ID proponents and found their arguments far stronger than he had been led to believe from second-hand accounts. S. Joshua Swamidass is a computational biologist at Washington University in Saint Louis who says ID may or may not be true in some part of what it affirms, but while

By Ken Ham What? Another well-known Christian organization going soft on the LGBTQ movement? Why is this happening? Well, the Jews had a proverb that God, through the Apostle Paul, reminds us of: “A little leaven leavens the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9). Oh, how I despair that much of the church has not taken heed of this! The leaven of compromise is a major contributing factor to the alarming generational exodus from the church and increasing numbers of lukewarm local churches and Christian organizations/institutions compromising on issues such as marriage, sexuality, and gender. I’m sorry, but I can’t just sweep
