By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, guest host Jonathan Witt sits down with molecular biologist Douglas Axe at the recent Dallas Science and Faith Conference. Axe, author of Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed, had his research on protein folds published in the Journal of Molecular Biology, work showing that random mutations are not up to the task of building fundamentally new protein folds from old, a finding that poses a major challenge to modern evolutionary theory. After all, if evolution can’t build something as basic as a new protein fold, how

By Ken Ham In a Facebook post from Whitcomb Ministries, Inc., it was announced this morning that theologian Dr. John Whitcomb, the co-author of The Genesis Flood and a giant in the modern creation movement, “entered into heavenly glory last night in his sleep.” He was 95 years old. While we grieve the loss of this great man, we’re thankful that he is reaping his heavenly reward for his faithful service to his Maker here on earth.

By Ken Ham With the arrival of 2020 and as I shared on my blog a few weeks ago, the so-called gender-neutral pronoun they was selected by the dictionary Merriam-Webster as the word of the year for 2019. 2020 is considered a new decade as well,* and the American Dialect Society has chosen its Word of the Decade. Its editors selected they as well. What does this tell us? Well, we don’t have to guess. The article reporting on this selection states, The personal pronoun employed by “nonbinary” individuals, meaning they identify as neither male nor female, was called a

By Michael J. Behe On this ID the Future we continue a series of messages from a November 2019 symposium in Berkeley, California, presented in honor of the late Phillip Johnson, who played a crucial role in the flowering of the intelligent design movement. On today’s episode Lehigh University biology professor Michael Behe, author of Darwin’s Black Box, The Edge of Evolution, and Darwin Devolves, tells about his earliest memories of Phillip Johnson and speaks on the long history of science: how ancient science pointed to purposeful design in life, and how current science is coming full circle, so that

According to detailed biblical chronologies and genealogies, the global Flood recorded in Genesis that wiped out humanity occurred about 4,500 years ago.1,2 Then the earth was repopulated by Noah’s three sons and their three wives. As I reported a couple months ago, a research project was just published that used high quality DNA sequence data to develop a human Y-chromosome genetic clock that matches up perfectly with the … More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham One of the huge issues of our day concerns environmentalism. Steering through the media frenzy on issues such as climate change, carbon emissions, pollution, plastics, and more requires us to be firmly grounded in biblical truth and to get our wisdom there. We don’t need to be told what to think—we need to be taught how to think so we can investigate claims for ourselves and draw God-honoring conclusions. So much of what we hear regarding the environment is couched in secular philosophies and ideas. So much of what we hear regarding the environment is couched in

By Ken Ham Are you planning a trip with a group of young people to visit the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum here in N. Kentucky? Whether it’s a spring break getaway, graduation celebration, or summer youth adventure, the spectacular Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions make a wonderful destination. You and your group will have an incredible time while learning more about the truth of God’s Word and getting equipped with answers to the skeptical questions of our day. And did you know your group can stay overnight at both the Ark and the museum? It’s also a

These day camps are offered by (and at) the Creation Museum, here in Northern Kentucky, and they feature hands-on science and biblical worldview teaching. Your child is sure to love them! It’s hands-on science with a biblical worldview—there aren’t too many other places you can find that! We’re currently offering two camps, with three dates to choose from (and a special camp with the STEM group Teach Me Automation—but more on that below!), for students who have

By Ken Ham We’re a month or so into the year 2020, and already it’s been a hard year from a news perspective—headlines declaring threats of war in the Middle East, wildfires ravaging Australia claiming human lives and property, as well as nature, and, most recently, the untimely death of US basketball star Kobe Bryant, his young daughter, and friends, and the deadly coronavirus spreading quickly in China and abroad, awakening fears of a pandemic. These headlines make many people ask, “Where’s God in a world of so much death, disease, and suffering?” Start at the Very Beginning To answer

By Ken Ham Now that might not be a blog title you would ever expect to see from Ken Ham! But a recently republished article on an evolutionary education site reminded me of the importance of Christians accurately teaching evolutionary ideas to their children, along with the reasons evolution and the Bible are not compatible. Let me explain. “Major Misconceptions . . . [About] the Major Points of Evolution” The article was all about how professors at secular colleges work to try to turn creationist students into evolutionists. One of their big points was, Recognizing that there are sizable numbers

By Ken Ham When you first learned about Neanderthals, you were probably told they were less-than-intelligent brutes who lived a primitive lifestyle a long time ago. I was told that when I went to high school and university. That’s how they’re still depicted in many museums, textbooks, and in the popular imagination. But that story simply doesn’t match with what we now know about Neanderthals. And that was confirmed yet again in a recent study of seashells. Scientists recently examined shells they associate with Neanderthals, discovered in a beachside cave in Italy back in 1949. These shells had been modified

Pellets (or nodules) composed of various metals, such as manganese and iron, often litter the ocean floor. These nodules form when chemicals dissolved in seawater precipitate onto a small object lying on the ocean floor. Because these nodules are a potentially valuable natural resource, scientists are interested in discerning the factors that affect nodule growth rates. To that end, scientists have used computers and a method calle… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham I’m excited to announce we have yet another new resource available in our online store! I’ve always had a burden for AiG to produce as many materials as possible to equip people of all ages. But first, a little background. In 2017, AiG’s Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who has earned a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, released his book Replacing Darwin. This incredibly powerful book looked at genetics—a branch of science that didn’t exist in Darwin’s day—and found a massive challenge for those who hold to evolutionary ideas. The book also put forth a

By Ken Ham Devastating wildfires have been burning throughout my home country of Australia for several months now. Firefighters and others have been working tirelessly, risking their lives, attempting to save people, homes, animals, and more from the fires. And one of the things they successfully saved was the only known grove of Wollemi pines—a species of tree I love talking about. Why? Well, this particular type of tree is believed by evolutionists to be older than the dinosaurs, according to secular dating. They were thought to have been extinct a long time. That is until 1994, when an officer

On this episode of ID the Future, Jay Richards discusses his new book Eat, Fast, Feast. Fasting is a traditional religious practice “that’s fallen on hard times,” he says. We “graze” instead. But there’s scientific evidence for the value of intermittent fasting: it reduces total calories while upping adrenaline and human growth hormone, and without reducing metabolic rates. All this in addition to the spiritual benefits that have been recognized across cultures for many centuries. There are simplistic “just-so” evolutionary stories in other diet and health books attempting to explain how our bodies became well adapted for intermittent fasting, but
