01/18/20 “Fascinating article detailing how a baby develops from conception to birth. The sheer complexity involved in this process is mind boggling. Nonetheless atheists insist that all of this is a product of blind random chance processes – what foolishness!” Admin The very moment a male sperm cell penetrates a female egg cell, a new human life comes into being. This event, known as fertilization, forms a tiny, single-celled human distinct from his or her mother mother. This little life is called a zygote, meaning “yoked or joined together.”1 It’s the living seed that will be a newborn

By Michael Egnor On this episode of ID The Future from the vault, host Ray Bohlin talks with Michael Egnor, a pediatric neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery at State University of New York Stony Brook about ways modern science validates the idea that the mind is not reducible to the brain. They delve into oddities of neuroscience that indicate that there is more going on in the brain than mere chemistry, and, in particular, walk through the seminal work of Adrian Owen on MRIs and what it reveals.

By Ken Ham More and more scientists and researchers are shocked by the discovery of fossilized soft tissue (or, even more incredibly, unfossilized soft tissue!) in creatures thought to have died millions of years ago. These findings don’t fit the narrative most of us learned in school: a creature is slowly buried by sediments, gradually becoming fossilized. Instead, such fossils point to rapid, catastrophic burial. And a new find points, yet again, to catastrophic burial. Fossilization is a catastrophic process, as something has to be buried quickly. Researchers uncovered the fossils of tiny bug-like creatures that are buried in so-called

How do you know when something has been engineered? One way to tell is to study the words used to describe its characteristic features. The Mt. Rushmore rock faces have different characteristics from the surrounding uncarved rock that don’t resemble portraits of American Presidents. Good scientific theories should be able to make predictions—including ones intended to explain biological phenomena. ICR previously… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham The United Kingdom, like much of the Western world, is a melting pot of cultures, peoples, and religions. How can Christians follow Christ’s command to share the gospel with others who have very different (even very foreign) views to us? Get equipped to boldly share the gospel with those of many different religious backgrounds at our World Religions Conference, taking place at The Kings Centre in Oxford, Oxfordshire, October 30–31, 2020. This two-day event features teaching from a variety of experts, including Simon Turpin, the director of Answers in Genesis–UK, and Roger Patterson, one of our curriculum

By Ken Ham What was the leading cause of death in 2019 worldwide? If you asked someone on the street, they are likely to point to things like cancer, heart disease, malaria, HIV/AIDs, or gun violence. (Of course, the correct answer, from a spiritual perspective, is sin, but more on that later.) Well, did you know that the major physical cause of death is completely preventable? The lives of 42.4 million people were lost last year because of abortion. Over 42 million unborn children murdered worldwide. Let that sink in for a moment. That should break the heart of every

By Ken Ham Sunday, January 19, 2020, is Sanctity of Life Sunday in the US. Many churches choose to set aside time to celebrate and teach on the sanctity of all human life, particularly that of the unborn. It’s a great time to share the message that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, knit together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13–14). Here are some ideas on what to do this year to celebrate National Sanctity of Life Sunday at your church or in your home. Hold a showing of our recently updated DVD from anatomist Dr. David Menton,

From the foresight needed in the design of eyes, to our stereoscopic and redundant hearing systems, to the mysteries of design in the nervous and circulatory systems, signs of engineered design are everywhere in the human body. And humans are mimicking some of those designs now through humanoid robots, which we’re making ever more like ourselves — in appearance, that is. Will robots

By Ken Ham Did Moses really lead the children of Israel across the Red Sea? Did God miraculously part the waters of the sea and save them from their enemies? Or, as many liberal scholars would argue, is this account just a fabrication or an exaggerated retelling of a much less exciting historical event? Discover the truth in a brand-new two-part documentary in the Patterns of Evidence film series. Part 1 is coming to theaters across the United States for one night only, February 18,. This powerful and challenging film begins the investigation into the Red Sea crossing—where was it?

Most Christians are familiar with the proclamation “God is love”, which the Apostle John wrote twice in his First Letter (1 John 4:8 & 16). Not quite so well known is John’s other pronouncement “God is light” (1 John 1:5), with light being a metaphor for God’s holiness and glory. Many Christians, if asked which attribute of God they consider to be the most important, might say God’s love. And no doubt the reason for this would be because they have experienced the expression of this love via God’s forgiveness of their sins because of Christ’s death and resurrection, and

As biblical creationists, we can see how important the doctrine of creation is to the Bible’s ‘big story’ of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Many of us recall what it was like when the lights first ‘went on’ and we realized that Genesis could be trusted as an actual historical record. And especially when that revelation is fairly new to us, we can have great zeal when communicating that truth to others who have not yet had that ‘aha’ moment. At CMI, we love it when people get excited about creation, of course. Some of the most encouraging feedback we

By Ken Ham I love hymns. Many churches don’t sing them anymore or only sing a select handful. But the powerful, often theologically rich lyrics are a wonderful way of passing the truth of the gospel on to the next generation. I believe we always need to use the best of the past and the best of the new. Sadly, many churches don’t use the best of the past when it comes to music. That’s why I’m excited about an event coming to the Answers Center at the Ark Encounter on June 19, 2020—the Gospel Music Hymn Sing. Join …read
