Echinoderms, “spiny-skinned” invertebrates, are first found in the Cambrian sedimentary rock layers as 100% echinoderms. The first brittle stars (Echinoderm, class Ophiuroidea) were found in the Early Ordovician sediments and don’t show any evolution. One of the more interesting of the Ophiuroidea is the brittle star (Ophiocoma wendtii). While snorkeling the waters of Hawaii several years ago, I f… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Michael Flannery On this episode of ID the Future, host Mike Keas speaks with science historian Michael Flannery about Darwinism, Past, Present, and Future, in which Flannery wonders about an L.A. Times op-ed by Ann Reid, director of the pro-Darwinism lobby group The National Center for Science Education. Evolution is so well established, she said, that questioning it is like doubting that matter is made of atoms. Flannery says she seems not to have noticed that even mainstream biologists have begun to question the long-term viability of Darwinism. Scientists may have felt triumphant in their certainty at the 1959

By Ken Ham Today, we celebrate the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Answers in Genesis ministry! On December 27, 1993, Answers in Genesis was legally constituted. The three founders and their families moved to Kentucky from California in 1994 to really launch the ministry. It has been a blessing being able to serve the Lord in the creation-apologetics, biblical authority ministry for twenty-six years now. Over these years, AiG has grown (and grown!) and changed. Look at how God has expanded the AiG ministry, including the opening of the two world-leading Christian themed attractions. It’s simply amazing! Still, the core message

By Ken Ham Most of what we hear and see on the news is bad. That’s certainly true for issues regarding freedom of religion and the free exercise of religion (Christianity) in America. It seems every week there’s a new attack on Christian freedoms (including around the world, often in very horrific ways). But there was recently some good news on this front, and it’s right here in Kentucky, the state where we’re located. The Kentucky Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of the Christian owner of a T-shirt print shop, Hands On Originals Christian Outfitters. He had declined to

By Ken Ham Sometimes you just have to shake your head. That was my reaction when I read this headline, “Zoo Chimps Doing a ‘Conga Line’ Could Teach Us How Humans Evolved to Dance.” Yes, you read that right! Two chimps swaying and walking in synchronization is thought by these researchers to provide insight into the evolution of dance. These particular chimps were very closely bonded, having been together since they were just a few months old (one of the chimps died in 2018). For several years, they exhibited this strange, apparently self-taught behavior, of walking and swaying in sync.

By Ken Ham Beware of names. For example, Separate but Equal in the US was anything but equal. The Affordable Healthcare Act was anything but affordable. So, should the Fairness for All Act as proposed by the US Congress be taken at face value? Actually, it is another attack on biblical Christianity. The controversial piece of legislation known as “Fairness for All,” which was recently introduced by a Republican congressman, has been called/> a “compromise” between LGBT groups and activists and those who have religious liberty considerations. This legislation would make sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes under the

When biblically-informed Christians talk about the ‘Virgin Birth’ they really mean the ‘Virginal Conception’ (Virginitas ante partum), i.e. that Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity Incarnate, had no human biological father. The doctrine of the Virginal Conception is scriptural and affirmed by early Christians such as Ignatius (d. AD c. 108), Justin Martyr (c. 100 – c. 165), Irenaeus (c. 130 – c. 200), and Tertullian (c. 150 – c. 212). But there was nothing miraculous about the birth. The true doctrine of the Virginal Conception must be distinguished from some false views: …read more Source: creation.com

Based on biblical chronologies, we can determine that the global Flood recorded in Genesis occurred about 4,500 years ago.1 After the Flood, the earth was repopulated by Noah’s three sons and their wives. So we should find genetic signatures of this timeline in human DNA. While a number of previous studies by both secular and creation scientists have supported this general timeline,2-3 a recent study using extens… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Have you ever wondered about the wise men who followed the star and came to worship the young Jesus? Popular Christmas carols, nativity programs, and movies portray the arrival of the wise men, often going well beyond the few details we’re provided in Scripture. Are these additional extras faithful to Scripture and history? Find out in a special Christmas production, “Long Foretold,” written for and performed by AiG’s Christian worldview kindergarten–9th grade academy, Twelve Stones Christian Academy. The students at Twelve Stones Christian Academy (a biblical worldview Christian school; one of the many outreaches of Answers in

By Ken Ham What exactly is it? That’s the question researchers are trying to figure out after the discovery of a frozen puppy preserved in permafrost in eastern Siberia. The two-month old canine was “remarkably preserved,” with fur, nose, and teeth still intact, even after a supposed 18,000 years. According to the BBC, scientists are wondering if this puppy represents an evolutionary link between wolves and dogs, or if it’s just a wolf or what we call a dog today. Researchers sequenced the puppy’s DNA but were unable to determine whether it was a wolf or a dog. This suggests

By Ken Ham We love hearing stories about how God is using Answers in Genesis, the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum in the lives of individuals, families, and children. Recently we heard from a father who shared what an impact his family’s visit to the Ark Encounter had on his young daughter. This young lady, Savannah, was so inspired by what she learned at the Ark that she decided to theme her science fair project around the Ark. She won first place and is moving on to Regionals! Here’s what her father shared with us, I want to share
