When investigating true-vs.-false controversies, words are very important. Yet Christians sometimes unintentionally perpetuate false teachings by using misleading terms that accommodate evolutionary assumptions.1,2 This is what law courts call confusion of issues, a truth-interference problem so serious that trial judges, invoking Evidence Rule 403, ban such confusing terminology when admitting trial evidence.3 For example, the origin of species is a confusing topic. What exactly is a species? How can we properly analyze and discuss our origins if the words we use mean different things to different people? Consider this approach by Wikipedia, the multi-anonymous online encyclopedia that institutionally assumes

By Ken Ham Nearly everyone loves the creamy, sweet taste of a well-made fudge. At both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, we sell Uncle LeRoy’s Fudge, which is made fresh in small batches each day right on the property. It smells tempting as you tour the Ark gift shop and the Legacy Hall bookstore at the Creation Museum. And now you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s made with Uncle LeRoy himself—and watch him try to teach Bodie and me how to do it! Normally on Mondays (as well as Thursdays) at 2 p.m. EST, I

Do we need experts to interpret the Bible for us, or can we understand it for ourselves? ICR’s National Representative, Dr. Randy Guliuzza, discusses the doctrine of biblical clarity and why it matters.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Nancy Pearcey returns to explain what historians know, but few of the rest of us do: If anything, Charles Darwin’s science grew out of his naturalistic philosophy, not the other way around. One historian said Darwin’s naturalism came first, and “only later did he find a theory to validate his convictions.” His “bulldog”, T.H. Huxley, liked Darwinism more for its philosophy than its science. And even Darwin admitted the evidence wasn’t all it could or should be. Please consider donating to support the IDTF Podcast.

While I was chatting once with an inmate at a Pennsylvanian prison, he told me that upon his arrival a guard wryly said he was free to do whatever he wanted…so long as it was regulated. Regulations are a method of control using rules in lieu of physical handling. Since regulatory control over systems, processes, and behaviors is often essential, regulations are pervasive in organizations—and also in biology. If engineered control systems and biological regulatory systems are both based on rules, how similar are they?

Archaeopteryx is a big word that simply means “ancient wing.” It refers to a set of fossils of a strange-looking extinct bird. Books promoting evolution often show pictures of Archaeopteryx. Its beak had small teeth, so many scientists see it as playing a lead role in an unthinkably long plot about reptiles evolving into birds. Others admit it was just a bird. New research places Archaeopteryx more firmly in the bird category than ever before. Read More: Does Archaeopteryx Show Bird Evolution? | The Institute for Creation Research

By Ken Ham We’re very excited about the progress being made on the current Creation Museum upgrades. Recently, we opened the high-tech 4D Special Effects Theater, created a new entrance to the vast new parking lot, widened nature trails, installed an impressive children’s playground, widened passageways in the museum’s walkthrough, and put in additional restrooms. The world-class museum is now eleven years old and is in need of some upgrades to better communicate the creation/gospel message in our changing culture. Our artistic, attractions content, and fabrications teams are hard at work planning and building these new exhibits—and you can get

A Polish research duo described the remains of an elephant-size synapsid from upper Triassic rocks. Only it’s not supposed to be there. Secular reactions express shock at this turn from a longstanding evolutionary tale. Synapsids are commonly referred to as “mammal-like reptiles,” but were neither reptiles nor mammals. They were unique—the sail-finned dimetrodon was a synapsid. Like dinosaurs, … More… …read more Source: icr.org
The author is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Waynesburg University. Rossiter appears to have had a roller-coaster experience in terms of faith. He claims to have once been a Christian, then renounced the faith, and become an atheist (p. 1). He describes his atheism as having been of a cantankerous kind (p. 3). Years later, he professedly became a Christian after experiencing a bout with near-death (p. 4). Throughout this work, the author engages in a systematic debunking of so-called theistic evolution. He also deconstructs the positions of oft-quoted evolutionists, such as Francisco Ayala, Richard Dawkins, Karl W.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) It is appropriate for Christians to begin the New Year by referring back to the beginning of the very first year.

By Ken Ham It’s hard to believe Answers in Genesis is already celebrating 25 years in ministry. God has done remarkable things over the past 25 years! And even though we’ve grown markedly and changed, we haven’t changed in one specific way: we still remain faithful to our core mission and purpose—to equip the church to stand boldly on the authority of God’s Word from the very first verse and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’re humbled and grateful for what God has done. What started out as a ministry with three founders and a handful of employees

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, author and Center for Science and Culture fellow Nancy Pearcey responds to the claim that the design-oriented view of biology “lost” to an overwhelming scientific revolution, Darwinism, and subsequent discoveries have only put more nails in the design argument’s coffin. There was a revolution, Pearcey acknowledges, but at its core it was philosophical and ideological, one with no room for intelligent design in biology. “Without Hegel there would have been no Darwin,” Pearcey explains.

By Ken Ham New research reveals ichthyosaurs, extinct marine creatures, likely had blubber, smooth skin, countershading, and were warm-blooded. Now that’s interesting and will certainly prompt scientists to take another look at this fascinating creature. But the real story here is one you have to read between the lines to get. Johan Lindgren, the lead researcher on this study published in Nature, states of the find: This animal’s preservation is unusual, especially for a marine environment . . . This specimen has given us more evidence that these tissues and molecules can preserve for extremely long periods, and that soft
