By Creation Moments I used to love it when my elementary school teacher read stories to the class. She had some favorite stories. One of her favorite collections was Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories. The idea of each story was to give a fictional account of how certain features of various animals came to be. Of course, Kipling was not presenting a scientific thesis. He expected his stories to be received as works of imagination. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
For decades, secular authors and science writers have reviewed each past year and listed the top accomplishments in the various fields of life and physical sciences. What is common to all these annual reviews is that evolutionary naturalism is virtually never documented. 2017 was no different. For example, Futurism.com reported “human cell regeneration for growing organs, [and] bani… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Troy Lacey Did YECs invent the terms origin science or historical science, and if so did we invent these terms just to discredit evolution? Do we deny that we can know anything about the past because we weren’t there to observe it, or that any event in the past is unknowable? …read more Source: AIG Daily

By Ken Ham The largest abortion clinic in Ohio has launched a sad billboard campaign throughout the Cleveland area “to shift the public conversation on abortion away from black-and-white political rhetoric.” Each billboard features the phrase “Abortion is” with a different fill-in-the-blank. These billboards are truly horrible, incredibly inconsistent, and a complete misrepresentation of what abortion truly is—the murder of a child. These billboards forgot to call abortion what it is: homicide, murder, death, cruel, barbaric, child-sacrifice, anti-women, and anti-life. Here are a few of the billboards, along with my commentary. “Abortion is safer than childbirth.” This is a ludicrous

Bats are found throughout America, but in certain areas of the country (e.g., the southwest) bats are the reason tourists visit. They gather and watch these mammals surge into the evening sky. The bats soar from cave systems by the thousands on their nightly foray. You have probably seen bats as they fed on the wing but mistook them for birds. The fossil record shows that bats have always been bats. “The earlies… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Better start stocking up! According to a new report, cacao trees—the plants that produce the cocoa beans used to make chocolate—will be extinct by 2050. You can probably guess the “why” behind this prediction: climate change. Cacao trees require very precise conditions under which to grow. They will only grow 20 degrees north or south of the equator and need consistent humidity and rainfall. Due to their predictions about a warming climate, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe the areas in West Africa where over half of our cocoa beans are grown will warm

By Creation Moments Some years ago, a major international software company took out some commercials on British television. The theme of the commercials was that their software was now better than it had ever been because it had evolved. The commercials showed images of dinosaurs and so-called primitive animals as they evolved into more modern, up-to-date varieties. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Ken Ham A Christian university, North Park University of Chicago, Illinois, has suspended a campus pastor after she officiated a same-sex wedding for a former student. Sadly, we’re seeing such a thing more and more—professing Christian leaders who ignore the clear teaching of God’s Word and instead adopt the values and thinking of our day (moral relativism), leading others astray. Apparently, Judy Peterson, the pastor who was suspended, stated in an email “that she was fully aware that she was breaking one of the ethical guidelines for clergy when she went ahead with the ceremony, but said that she

By Ken Ham On this day in 2017, a captive female hippo gave birth to a six-week premature calf that caretakers named Fiona. She soon became an Internet sensation around the world, with a massive social media following as people waited to see what would happen. Well, Fiona managed to survive and eventually thrive. If you’re a fan of Fiona, did you know that she lives at the Cincinnati Zoo, which is just a short drive from both our world-class attractions, the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum?

When a bomb exploded right next to Samiha at St. Peter’s Church in Cairo on December 11, 2016, everyone thought she was dead. But Samiha miraculously survived—and now testifies of Jesus’ presence throughout her recovery. Samiha Tawfiq Awad and her husband Qalini prepared to go to church on one Sunday morning in December 2016. Qalini said he was tired, but Samiha encouraged him not to miss church. Once at St. Peter’s, the two parted ways. Qalini went to sit in the men’s section, and Samiha took her seat in the women’s section—an early church tradition still practiced by
