Proof The Bible Is True

By Stephen C. Meyer This ID the Future wraps up a lively four-part series between religious skeptic Michael Shermer and Return of the God Hypothesis author and philosopher of science Stephen Meyer. Here Meyer underscores the fact that every worldview must posit something as the prime reality, and he argues that positing mind (rather than matter) as the prime reality solves far more problems in science, and not just in origins science. What about the idea of a multiverse to explain the fine tuning of the laws and constants of physics? Meyer concedes that this is a solution of sorts, [More]

By Steve Laufmann Today’s ID the Future spotlights systems biology and the role engineers can play in some leading-edge biology. According to guest Steve Laufmann, systems biology is taking the biological world by storm, an approach that treats biological systems as optimally or near-optimally engineered systems and, using that working assumption, seeks to better understand the system. Laufmann says this provides an opening for engineers to contribute, since they have a deep understanding of what it takes to make a complex system work, and what’s required to change one core aspect of an engineered system so that it continues to [More]

By Ken Ham You’ve heard of homeschool conferences—well, prepare for a family homeschool experience at the Ark Encounter! This incredible three-day event, “Building Strong Foundations,” is so much more than a conference—it’s a unique family experience at the world’s leading Christian themed attraction, the Ark Encounter, May 12–14, 2022. It’s an experience for the whole family you can’t get anywhere else in the world! Families will have a wonderful time together, making lasting memories while they relax and enjoy concerts, presentations, and break-out sessions, meet the animals in Ararat Ridge Zoo, tour the life-size Noah’s Ark—including with exclusive after-hours access—and, [More]

By Neil Thomas On this ID the Future, Taking Leave of Darwin author Neil Thomas and host Jonathan Witt continue their conversation about Thomas’s journey from Darwinian materialism to theistic humanism and a thorough skepticism of Darwinian theory. Here Thomas links the heroic posturing of modern atheists Richard Dawkins and Bertrand Russell, on the one hand, and on the other, the heroic fatalism of poetry stretching back to the early Middle Ages and, further still, to the ancient Greeks. Thomas also draws a link between the animistic thinking of much ancient pagan thought and the magical powers attributed to the [More]

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.

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]

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]
