Proof The Bible Is True

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future Dr. Robert J. Marks, Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor University and former President of the IEEE Neural Networks Council, argues that computer programs cannot be genuinely creative. Computer programs also won’t be able to experience consciousness, he says, never mind all the media hype on this point. Marks concedes that a computer code can surprise us, as when a program playing the game Go makes a surprising move. But when it does this, it’s following a rigorous algorithm that neatly explains the move. Marks says this [More]

By Ken Ham For many (many!) years, (25 years in October!), I have had a 60-second daily radio feature called “Answers with Ken Ham.” It airs on nearly 1,000 radio stations nationwide, and other stations internationally including Latin America (translated into Spanish for certain stations). We’re currently airing Volume 134. We frequently hear from people who were introduced to the Answers in Genesis ministry by this program. And they share how blessed they were by the quick answers to the questions of our day. One such listener is Eric, from Indiana, who shared the following encouragement with us: Dear Mr. [More]

By Marcos Eberlin On this episode of ID the Future, Scotsman Andrew McDiarmid reads from Marcos Eberlin’s recent book Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose. In this excerpt, the distinguished Brazilian scientist highlights the challenge the Venus flytrap poses for evolutionary theory. Dr. Eberlin, the former president of the International Mass Spectrometry Association, describes the problem: The Venus flytrap, like all carnivorous plants, had no use for its insect-trapping function unless it also had an insect-digesting function. And vice versa. Did they really both evolve together? And how when there would be no functional advantage along [More]

By Ken Ham A recent study reports that 1% of squirrels in North America have black fur, instead of gray or red. This study found that the black fur is caused by a variant form of the same gene in both gray squirrels and fox (red) squirrels. They believe the most likely explanation is both squirrel species have this same variation because of interbreeding. Is this surprising? We know from the book of Genesis that organisms reproduce according to their kinds. Well, both squirrel species belong to the same created kind, the squirrel kind (the family Sciuridae, which also includes [More]

By Ken Ham So much goes on behind the scenes here at Answers in Genesis, particularly at the moment in our design studios as artisans feverishly work to get ready for the grand opening of our brand-new Creation Museum exhibits this November (just in time for the massive crowds that come to see our stunning garden of lights, live nativity, and more for ChristmasTown west of the Cincinnati Airport). Our artists and designers are remarkable—God has brought some extremely talented individuals to work here. They do everything with such attention to detail and such excellence—and it shows. I believe it’s [More]

The La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles—actually seeps of smelly asphaltum—are loaded with fossils. New analyses of chemicals inside their ancient teeth give clues as to what they ate and maybe why some of them went extinct. Over 100 years of excavations at La Brea have yielded about 3.5 million specimens.1 Most are individual bones, but they also include at least 6,300 insect-body parts.2 Pred… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

A respected Yale University computer scientist has publicly expressed doubts about Darwinian evolution.1 In a column in the Claremont Review of Books, Dr. David Gelernter wrote that books by intelligent design (ID) proponents, especially Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer, convinced him that Darwinian evolution cannot be correct.2,3 More recently, Gelernter, along with Meyer and ID proponen… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham After four years, a case in Virginia involving a transgender student and restrooms has been settled by a federal judge. The case was decided in favor of the transgender student (now a 20-year-old). The student was told “he” (really, she) could not use the male restroom, but could use a gender-neutral facility. She then sued the school for discrimination against her chosen gender identity. In her decision, the federal judge ruled the school’s policy was discriminatory: there is no question that the board’s policy discriminates against transgender students on the basis of their gender nonconformity . .

Our 2020 Vacation Bible School (VBS) is Mystery Island, an exciting beach-themed Vacation Bible School program that will teach children about the one true God, the God found in the Bible. we need to look to the Bible, not the culture or our own opinions, to know who God is and what he is like.

By Ken Ham A family in Michigan had a choice to make for their summer family vacation. Should they go to Disney World in Florida or would they visit the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky? And they chose the Ark and museum! Were the kids disappointed? Well, I’ll let them tell you the answer themselves! I met this family of five (the father is a pastor in the Detroit area) at the Creation Museum. I interviewed them about why they chose to come to Northern Kentucky to see our two attractions instead of traveling further south [More]

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future from the vault, Tod Butterfield reads from the beginning of Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey from Darwin to Design, by Jonathan Witt and Matti Leisola. It’s an exciting book that tells the story of how one major European scientist who applied the maxim, “Scientists are supposed to investigate mysteries with an open mind; not assume an explanation from the outset.” He came to see that arguments insisting on purely material causes in nature are based on assumptions, not evidence. He noted how history shows that scientific consensus doesn’t always mean scientific [More]
