With Easter approaching, many people have a heightened interest in matters of faith and spirituality. Local WFAA news reporter Jobin Panicker chose this “holy week” to visit the ICR Discovery Center for Science and Earth History. He interviewed ICR Research Associate Dr. Brian Thomas and Discovery Center Director Chris Kinman about our purpose in this project and who we hope will visit. ICR is building the Discovery C… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Today is Good Friday, a day set aside to remember Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross for us. Many churches will host special services dedicated to the solemn remembrance of Christ’s gift to us through his death. I hope you will take time to attend a Good Friday service and reflect on what Christ has done and what it means for us as believers. So much could be said about Christ’s death and how precious his sacrifice is to us who believe. But I thought I would just let Scripture speak for itself: I will put enmity

By Ken Ham Headlines around the world trumpeted the news last week, “New species of early human found in the Philippines.” This “new species,” based on a collection of fossils found in a cave on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, has been named Homo luzonensis and has been dated to about 50,000 years. How should we as biblical creationists understand this find? A 17,000 Year Gap? Even in their own evolutionary view, the researchers can’t say this fossil tells us anything about the evolution of modern humans. Well, first off, notice the date—50,000 years. According to the current

By Ken Ham In late January, a frequent Answers in Genesis’ critic had her letter appear in one of our local newspapers, the Kenton Recorder (Kenton County, Kentucky, not far from the Creation Museum). It was in response to my guest column two weeks prior in the same paper. Over the years, Nancy R. has written letters to the editor in various newspapers to attack the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Her latest letter is below. It is followed by a rebuttal letter from Dr. Stephen Kees, a dentist in our area and an avid AiG supporter. (Letter to the

By Ken Ham The news has been buzzing recently with headlines such as this one from New Scientist, “Incredible fossil find may be first victims of dino-killer asteroid.” These headlines are announcing the discovery and analysis of a fossil deposit in America that is interpreted as “an unprecedented record of the mass extinction event that wiped out most of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.” The article about this North Dakota find goes on to state, “The fossils appear to be animals that were killed within minutes of an asteroid striking Earth, in a flood triggered by the shattering impact.”

By Stephen C. Meyer This episode of ID the Future features the second and concluding part of a talk given by Stephen Meyer at the 2019 Dallas Science and Faith Conference. Picking up from his previous comments on how atheistic/materialistic assumptions have come to dominate much of the science community. That’s the bad news. The good news, Meyer says, is the the discovery of multiple lines of scientfic evidence with theism-friendly implications, including confirmation that our universe had a beginning, a development “anticipated by no one except the theologians,” in the words of astronomer Robert Jastrow. Materialistic atheism can’t effectively

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist Michael Behe discusses part 3 of his new book Darwin Devolves: The New Science about DNA That Challenges Evolution. Behe explains new research showing that although evolution really can bring about adaptive changes, it does so at the nickel-and-dime level of genus and species, and apparently only by breaking or degrading genes. Behe further argues that natural selection, supposed by evolutionists to be the great driver of new developments, actually limits them.

Cell biologists have long focused on the tiniest of interactions: those between molecules. Recently, some researchers have zoomed out just a little to take a fresh look using new technologies at those cellular compartments, called organelles. Their discoveries give new insight into diseases, prompt a desire to redraw all the standard textbook cell pictures, and challenge anyone who still thinks of cells as simple blobs of protoplas… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham During our Answers for Pastors and Christian Leaders conference in the fall of 2018, I gave a presentation based on my book During this presentation, I share what’s happened in our culture to create the growing secularization, how we need to lay the foundation of the truth of God’s Word for others, and how we can move from that into presenting the gospel message beginning in Genesis. We want people to know that the Bible is true and therefore the message of the gospel that comes from the Bible is also true! The book and DVD are

Because of grievous deficiencies in the standard neo-Darwinian Model of evolution, which is largely selection driven, scientists proposed an alternative postulate called the ‘Neutral Model’ in the late 1960s. The Neutral Model is also mutation driven, but selection is deemed to be an insignificant force of change. Instead, random genetic drift is alleged to be the main driver. Since its inception, the Neutral Model has come to be incorporated in many theoretical evolutionary scenarios at some level. However, due to numerous discoveries in genomics and genome function, the Neutral Model has also become deficient, prompting a new move in science

By Ken Ham Last week, several hundred women arrived from 38 states and Canada for our 2019 Answers for Women conference, “Sacred: Embracing God’s Design for Sexuality.” It was a tremendous conference inside the brand-new Answers Center at the Ark Encounter, equipping women to have conversations about sexuality that pointed people back to the truth of God’s Word. So many women loved the conference that over 150 of the attendees pre-registered at the conference for our 2020 Answers for Women conference next March at the Ark. <img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2019/04/answers-for-women-georgia-purdom.jpg" alt="Dr. Georgia Purdom Speaks at …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG
By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Emily Kurlinski interviews bioethicist, author, and Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Wesley J. Smith on transhumanism. It’s a technology-driven anti-aging effort to create a post-human species with advanced intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and even immortality. Built on zeal and desperation to defeat death, it’s a quasi religion, except with no plan or apparent interest in cultivating a more wise and loving human species — which, Smith argues, makes it more dangerous than it might at first appear.

By Ken Ham What is marriage? Well, according to an opinion piece in a UK publication by a described human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell, it’s an outdated, patriarchal system that needs to be replaced. He argues that any two people (and why two? but we will get to that) who care about each other—whether that’s best friends, siblings, or others—should be allowed to form a “Civil Commitment Pact” (his replacement for marriage), giving legal recognition to their relationship. Tatchell argues that the only difference between a husband and wife, and two best friends is that the former have sexual relations
