By Ken Ham “Conversion therapy bans” have been popping up throughout the West. Those pushing these bills claim they’re trying to protect people, often specifically children and teens who identify as LGBT, from supposed abusive practices (which do sometimes make up certain so-called “conversion therapies”). But what are these bans really all about? LGBT activists claim that if you don’t fully embrace, support, and celebrate an LGBT lifestyle or identity, then that’s hate speech and harming someone because that person is more likely to commit suicide because you did not affirm them. Well, for years, conservative politicians and Christian commentators

By Michael Flannery On this episode of ID the Future, science historian and host Michael Keas talks with fellow science historian Michael Flannery about the newly updated book Intelligent Evolution: How Alfred Russell Wallace’s World of Life Challenged Darwin. Flannery tells of Darwin’s involvement in the Plinian Society, a “freethinkers” group at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine as a teenager. It was there that he first encountered radical philosophical materialism, the worldview that laid the philosophical foundation for his work in evolution. Flannery also speaks of Alfred Russel Wallace’s “intelligent evolution” and how it differs from Darwinism and from

The standard theme often given for Viking history is that of blond-haired, blued-eyed, burly men exploring, trading, ransacking, and pillaging across Europe, Asia, and the North Atlantic. While historical Viking exploits still entertain history buffs, a pervasive study of DNA extracted from the bones of their burial sites is overturning the idea that a fair Scandinavian complexion was the norm among these people.1 The ac… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum as our staff prepare for our annual ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter and ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum, beginning November 27, 2020, here in N. Kentucky. The thousands upon thousands of lights that form the beautiful garden of lights at the Creation Museum are going up, our resident artists Steve Hess and Southern Salvation have prepared a wonderful traditional Christmas carol program for the Ark, and so much more. If you’re thinking about Christmas, I have a gift suggestion for the

By Michael Denton On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist and author Michael Denton tells host Eric Anderson more about his new book The Miracle of the Cell, and about his epiphany when he recognized the many remarkable ways that nature’s chemistry is fine-tuned for life. The focus in this conversation is on carbon chemistry and its “goldilocks zone” ability to form stable bonds but let loose of them when needed. Whereas biologists once wondered about a vitalist “life force” in the cell, Denton sees intelligence and foresight in the very design of carbon, its unique properties, and its

By Ken Ham In just a few weeks, middle and high school students from across America will arrive at the Ark Encounter (south of Cincinnati) for our annual Creation College Expo, November 5–7, 2020. We’re excited for these young people to meet with representatives from Christian colleges that actually take a stand on a literal Genesis and to hear from several Answers in Genesis speakers, including Dr. Georgia Purdom, Bodie Hodge, Dr. Jennifer Rivera, and me. So many Christian colleges are damaging young people’s faith by encouraging them to doubt God’s Word and reinterpret God’s clear Word in light of

By Ken Ham “[If a] child decides . . . ‘I want to be transgender.’ . . . there should be zero discrimination.” Who said that? Well, former Vice President and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden did, during a voter town hall event. His words come at the same time a major trial is taking place in the United Kingdom around that very question: can and should children be allowed to make life-altering decisions based on their feelings about their gender? Two women—a 23-year-old, Kiera Bell, who identified as transgender as a teenager and took puberty-blockers, cross-sex hormones, and received

By Michael Flannery On this ID the Future, science historian Michael Flannery continues discussing his newly updated Intelligent Evolution: How Alfred Russel Wallace’s World of Life Challenged Darwin. Wallace was co-founder with Charles Darwin of the theory of evolution by random variation and natural selection, but unlike Darwin he saw teleology or purpose as essential to life’s history, and a teleological view as essential to the life sciences. According to Flannery, Wallace’s views on the nature of the cell, the special attributes of humans, the irreducible nature of life, and the fine tuning of the universe hold up well today.

By Ken Ham We’re excited to announce that our 2021 Answers Vacation Bible School (VBS) is now available for preorder—Mystery Island: Tracking Down the One True God. We released this VBS as our 2020 VBS and many churches planned on using it, but the Lord had other plans (Proverbs 16:9). Since so many churches were unable to host VBS (or did a virtual program, like our free VBS, IncrediWorld) because of COVID restrictions, we’ve stocked back up and are re-releasing this exciting VBS program for summer 2021. And it’s now available to order (and on sale!). In our very secular

By Ken Ham Abortion is the killing of an unborn child in his or her mother’s womb. There’s really no other honest way of describing it. Actually, there is another word for it—murder. So-called “pro-choice” activists (really, “pro-murder” activists) use terms like “reproductive freedom,” “health care,” or “a woman’s right to choose” to try and make abortion sound like anything but what it is—the intentional murder of an unborn child. Now, is the Bible ambiguous on something as heinous as murdering a helpless child? Well, , available from our online store.) We need generations who love God and his Word

By Ken Ham What’s the most loving gift you can give your first child? Well, according to billboards in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that gift would be to “not have another [baby].” This billboard is one of several scattered throughout Vancouver promoting going “childfree” or only having a single baby. These anti-biblical billboards are sponsored by the group One Planet, One Child. This group is trying to “hasten progress toward a small family norm, leading to a sustainable world population.” Their stated goal is to “educate that overpopulation is a root cause of resource depletion, species extinction, poverty, and climate

By Ken Ham Emerald, aquamarine, topaz, zircon, and garnet are well-known gemstones. Also, lithium is used in batteries, like those found in an electric car. These minerals, and others, are found in “pegmatites, veinlike formations that commonly contain both large crystals and hard-to-find elements.” Many of these crystals are quite small, while others can be very large. How are they formed? And does it take long ages? Well, as one researcher says, “The idea is that large crystals take time to grow.” But is that accurate? Over and over again the assumptions of slow-and-gradual processes over long periods of time

At this event (which was broadcast to our supporters virtually), we acknowledged our team of talented designers, artists, and researchers who crafted an unbelievably stunning exhibit featuring 4D ultrasounds and models so lifelike that some have wondered if we had displayed actual babies! This striking exhibit also features powerful biblical and scientific teaching that celebrates human life in the womb being made in the image of God. A 20-foot long timeline provides the bulk
