By Ann Gauger On this episode of ID the Future, biologist Ann Gauger talks with host Andrew McDiarmid about new research challenging the common claim that the field of population genetics rules out a single-couple human origin. She and Stockholm University statistical mathematician Ola Hössjer have just published a paper in the journal BIO-Complexity modeling the scenario using a newly developed computer algorithm. The results, Gauger says, show that the genetic data does not rule out Adam and Eve. Their results are not proof, she emphasizes, just possibility; and different assumptions could produce different estimates as to when such a

By Ken Ham My good friends Buddy Davis and his wife Kay are always up for an adventure. And that’s why they’re headed, once again, south . . . way south, to South Africa, home of some of the world’s most incredible wildlife. They’re co-hosts of a Living Passages safari June 12–22, 2020, but there are just a few places left. You can join them. This South African tour led by Living Passages offers comfortable, unique accommodations and wildlife teaching, and, of course, music from singer/songwriter Buddy Davis. You’ll also enjoy (some excursions are at an additional cost to the

By Ken Ham Which evolved first—moth ears or bat echolocation? Well, the “textbook” evolutionary story is that bats evolved the ability to make ultrasonic calls, which they used to hunt for moths. And then moths supposedly evolved (several times, apparently) the ability to hear these calls and better evade the hunting mammals. Now, that story has been taught as fact for years. But apparently, a new study says this whole story is backwards! Based on this new study (it assumed evolutionary ideas and relationships in the first place), which was described as a “bit of a bombshell,” evolutionary scientists claim

By Ken Ham Thanksgiving here in the United States is just around the corner. During this special holiday, many churches choose to pause their regular Sunday school curriculum to do a seasonal Thanksgiving lesson, turning children’s and adult’s hearts toward the Lord and giving him the thanks and praise that he is due. And we’re offering two free Thanksgiving lessons from our very popular four-year Sunday school curriculum, The first lesson, “Giving Thanks to God,” teaches that all good gifts come from God, and he alone is worthy of glory, honor, and praise. We can thank God for who he

Every year, we offer two free Christmas events—ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter and ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum (you just pay for parking). And, new this year, we will be showing a spectacular Christmas video sharing the hope of Christmas on the massive LED screen in the Answers Center at the Ark Encounter, as well as featuring special concerts with Steve Hess & Southern Salvation (the Ark’s resident musical group).

For more than a century, biologists have appealed to Darwinian natural selection to explain how living organisms adapt to different environments. But research over the last several decades has consistently dethroned Darwin’s view of natural selection. Rather than corroborating the concept that environments mold creatures through “survival of the fittest,” the research supports the astonishing idea that to a great extent creature… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Technically, Answers in Genesis started in the San Diego, California, area (in January 1994). Now, AiG really started in Australia in our home way back in 1977. But the AiG ministry started in the USA over 25 years ago when three families moved from a temporary office in California to northern Kentucky/Cincinnati with the express purpose of building a Creation Museum. Before we moved out to Kentucky, during the first three months of 1994, we operated out of a small office over 2,000 miles away from Kentucky, where we are now. You can see part of our

By Michael Egnor On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid brings listeners a pair of Michael Egnor responses to atheist biologist Jerry Coyne, who recently argued that if God existed, we’d have sense organs to detect Him. We do have that organ, says Egnor. It’s reason, the means by which we can infer the reality of a designing mind behind nature. Through reason we can infer the unseen from the seen–everything from the existence of unseen electrons to the existence of an unseen intelligent designer from the evidence of design in nature. Egnor notes that while humans have

By Ken Ham If you’ve ever smelled a meteorite, it probably didn’t have much of an aroma. But that’s not the case with the newest addition to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This four-pound visitor from outer space (a rare stony meteorite that is called a carbonaceous chondrite) crashed down in Costa Rica’s Alajuela province back in April. And when scientists received the sample, it smelled distinctly like Brussels sprouts! Why—and what does that have to do with creation and evolution? Well, to answer that question, I’ll share some of the text from the article, answering the

By Ken Ham In August, over 100 volunteers from across the nation headed to the well-attended (over 1 million guests every year) Iowa State Fair to share the gospel with individuals and families attending the fair. It was a very fruitful time of ministry, with many seeds of truth and the gospel planted in hearts and minds. One of our staff members, Tony, heads up this outreach, and he shared a report with me about this ministry. Answers in Genesis believes the Great Commission is an emphatic GO!
