By Michael Behe On this ID the Future Lehigh University biologist Michael Behe dives deeper into A Mousetrap for Darwin. Behe and host Eric Anderson pivot to the new book’s section defending Behe’s earlier work, The Edge of Evolution. In that earlier book, Behe reviewed hard data from evolution studies of malaria parasites, HIV, and E. coli, showed that blind evolutionary processes face severe limits as to what they can build, and argued that intelligent design was required for the origin of life’s great diversity. In this new conversation Behe touches on some of the attempts to refute that argument

By Ken Ham Last year when we announced that children 10 and under receive free admission to our attractions for 2020, we had no idea that 2020 would bring a three-month shutdown of our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, travel restrictions making it difficult for some families (particularly international families) to come when we re-opened, and everything else 2020 brought! Of course, none of that was a surprise to the Lord and we’re so thankful for how he worked through this ministry in 2020. Children 10 and under receive free admission to both attractions again in 2021! Well, we’re excited

By Ken Ham During a coronavirus briefing, the governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, told his constituents that “worship outside or worship online is still worship” and “for me, God is where ever you are. You don’t need to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers.” Now, few Christians would argue that God indeed hears our prayers regardless of where we are. But there’s great danger in a government official telling his constituents how and where they should worship! It’s very obvious by the inconsistent mandates handed down throughout 2020 that religious freedom has been targeted—while strip

By Michael Behe On this ID the Future, Michael Behe continues discussing his new book, A Mousetrap for Darwin, with host Eric Anderson. Here the focus is the blood clotting cascade. Behe has argued it’s irreducibly complex, like a mousetrap, and that blind evolution couldn’t build it one small functional step at a time. Behe says a better explanation is that it was intelligently designed. His critics have responded to his argument over the years. Here Behe returns the favor. His most prominent interlocutor on the matter is the recently deceased Russell Doolittle. Behe shows that Doolittle misread the paper

By Ken Ham “Spectacular!” “Stunning!” “Awesome!” “Unique!” Those are just some of the words people use to describe all the lights and programs at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Our Christmas programs, ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum and ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter, have been very popular this year. Thousands of families have come to see the breathtaking lights (hundreds of thousands of them), enjoy a spin on our synthetic ice rink, or sing Christmas carols with Steve Hess & Southern Salvation. Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy these special events—they end December 30 (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas

By Brian Miller Today’s ID the Future is Part 3 of a conversation between Rice University chemist/inventor James Tour and Brian Miller, research coordinator for Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. In this concluding portion of their conversation, Miller fields questions Tour pulls from his mailbag. They cover everything from how simple can a cell get and still survive and reproduce to questions of design detection, bouncing cosmologies, the possibility of alien life, and the similarities between computers and cells in how they process information. The interview is borrowed, with permission, from Tour’s Science and Faith podcast, available here.

By Ken Ham I posted an item recently on Facebook about a video posted by Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales. In that video, he showed a photo of me and a Creation Museum exhibit as an example of what he claimed were those “rejecting mainstream science.” After my post, Phil Vischer responded on Twitter. Many of his followers responded to his tweet with personal attacks on me, with many committing the epithet fallacy (where the arguer uses biased, and often emotional, language to persuade people rather than using logic). As examples of this, consider the four following examples: Read

By Brian Miller Today’s ID the Future is Part 2 of an extended interview between synthetic organic chemist James Tour and physicist/engineer Brian Miller. Here the conversation turns to the challenge and necessity of quickly evolving error-correction mechanisms in origin-of-life scenarios and the way origin-of-life researchers slip information and design into their origin-of-life work in the lab. Miller also makes a case for the research benefits of studying cells from a design perspective. Source …read more Source: id the future
By Ken Ham How does God’s Word instruct us to train children? What are the roles of parents in their kids’ education? How should Christians view public schools? How can we train our children to face the secular giants of our day? I cover these questions and much more in my new book, Will They Stand: Parenting Kids to Face the Giants, that was just released. Throughout the book, I also weave my personal testimony concerning how my parents trained us from God‘s Word and how that led to the formation of the Answers in Genesis ministry (and the building

It seems as though a traditional Christmas complete with carol singing, Christmas Eve service and large family gatherings will not be permitted this year in many parts of the UK as governments continue to struggle with how to combat the virus. However, what appears to be the ‘traditional’ is perhaps not as old as we might think. Many of the ‘traditional’ elements are from the Victorian times – Christmas trees, carolling and of course Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’. This is what we mean by a Dickensian Christmas and it ain’t happening this year. Perhaps we are now in

By Brian Miller Today’s ID the Future features Part 1 of an extended interview that first appeared on a podcast show hosted by distinguished Rice University synthetic organic chemist James M. Tour. As he typically does, since it’s the Science & Faith podcast, Dr. Tour begins his show by asking his guest for a statement of faith. Miller, a Christian, gives his, and then they dive into origin-of-life science. In a surprisingly accessible discussion given the depth of the material, the pair cover a range of issues—thermodynamics and the origin of the first cell, entropy, free energy, order and disorder,
