By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Discovery Institute Senior Fellow Jay Richards speaks with astrobiologist Guillermo Gonzalez about new research just reported in the Astrophysical Journal. The research suggests that the circumstellar habitable zone for terrestrial planets around stars is narrower than previously thought. This zone around stars, often referred to as the “goldilocks zone,” is where planets are not too hot and not too cold to support liquid water on the surface and, with it, complex life. But there’s another factor, previously underappreciated, which greatly curtails how much further a planet can be situated from

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future we hear a neurosurgeon’s view on materialistic bias afflicting the entire field of neuroscience. It’s a bias, he argues, that leads some scientists to misunderstand the meaning of their experiments. Darwinists “allergic to teleology” ignore clear evidence that purpose is essential to the mind. This talk is bonus material accompanying the action-filled and thought provoking series of short videos on science and materialism at www.scienceuprising.com.

By Ken Ham Whenever I call atheism a religion, I immediately receive backlash from atheists, who claim they have a “non-belief.” But what’s their non-belief? It’s a belief there is no God and all life (and matter in the universe) is the result of naturalism. So, they have a religion, a worldview, through which they filter everything. And they have beliefs as well: right and wrong are relative; everything evolved by chance through random processes; the universe began with a big bang; and more. And these ideas must be accepted by faith (a blind faith). Actually, it’s a faith that

By Ken Ham The ideology of the secularist movement is driving Western culture—in an anti-biblical direction. Sadly, we see moral relativism permeating society. And when Christians disagree with specific moral issues, they are often accused of hate. But Christians don’t hate those who hold to a different worldview. Actually, it’s a worldview clash between secularists and Christians because they have very different foundations from which they build their worldviews—man’s word or God’s Word. As the name implies, the conference will focus on how to reach our increasingly secularized cultures with the unchanging message of the gospel. Our Western culture is

Evolutionary theory is based on the faulty assumption that chance random processes can produce highly ordered complex systems, and this theory routinely fails to reveal scientific reality. A new secular study that applies engineering principles in the analysis of spider-web physics, related to the design concept of “power amplification,” has not only been highly successful, but also glorifies the amazing genius of God the Creator.More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Every year, hundreds of thousands of people pass through the Iowa State Fair to enjoy a time of family and fun—and, thanks to the hard work of several AiG staff members and many volunteers from across the nation, fair visitors will also have the opportunity to hear the gospel message. This special state fair outreach, which includes an optional Witnessing Training Camp for volunteers, is from August 8–18, 2019 (choose one of the 5-day sessions). And you can be part of it! This event sees dozens of volunteers coming from across the nation, joining to share the

By Ken Ham I’ve written about a lot of strange things on this blog, but I never thought gender-fluid tomatoes—from Australia, my home country, no less—would be one of them. But that’s where our culture has ended up—having a discussion about how a strange plant, a species of bush tomato from the Outback, somehow shows that the “sexual binary” is “a fallacy.” Various reproductive strategies are God’s designs to help organisms continue to reproduce, ensuring the survival of their kind, in an ever-changing fallen world. The researchers, however, go further than just describing the plant and naming it Solanum plastisexum.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future we hear bonus material on the mind from the Discovery Institute’s new Science Uprising video series. Materialist philosophy says we’re no more than our brains; that we’re wet robots, in essence. Also, scientism, rooted in materialism, holds that science is the only path to knowledge. Here, a distinguished research neuroscientist take on those dogmatic claims and discusses some clinical evidence that mind is not reducible to the brain.

By Ken Ham Today is the Fourth of July, or Independence Day, here in America. Millions of people will be celebrating our nation and the wonderful heritage of freedom we enjoy here in America. As believers, let’s stop today and thank God for the nation we’re blessed to live in. And let’s also pray for the distressing direction, like moral relativism, this nation is headed in, asking God to bring repentance and a return to the authority of his Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ. All of us should remember this Psalm, “Blessed is the nation whose God is

By Michael Egnor On this episode of ID the Future we hear a neurosurgeon’s take on materialist philosophical views of the mind. One currently common view, eliminative materialism, says there is nothing to the mind except what goes on in the brain. But do brain studies involving both imaging and surgery deliver an emphatic rebuttal? The evidence, Egnor says, strongly suggests there’s more to the human mind than the physical, material brain alone can explain. His discussion is drawn from bonus material accompanying the new, action-filled and thought-provoking Science Uprising series of short videos on science, materialism, and intelligent design
