By Ken Ham There are some things you’ve just got to see in person to comprehend. One of these is the life-size Noah’s Ark at Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky—pictures just don’t do it justice. Another, so I’m told, is Goliath’s spear (1 Samuel 17:7). Two visionaries, with the help of expert craftsmen and Answers in Genesis’ correspondence representative Troy Lacey, have crafted six spears, made to the same dimensions, of the same sorts of materials, and using the same methods that the giant Goliath’s spear would have most likely been crafted, according to their research.

By Creation Moments Evolutionary geologists find ages for rocks, using a method known as radiometric dating. For example, uranium-lead dating relies on the change of uranium into lead. The rate at which uranium changes into lead is not linear, but can nevertheless be measured. This value is called the half-life. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

By Ken Ham Studies have shown that two-thirds of America’s young people are walking away from the church by the time they reach college age, with very few returning. But this millennial generation (made up of twentysomethings) isn’t abandoning religion, as so many people claim. They are simply switching religions and are instead putting their faith in religions like atheism, naturalism, humanism, or “spirituality.” According to a recent article, “interest in spirituality has been booming in recent years while interest in religion plummets, especially among millennials.” This article quotes research that found “the majority of Americans now believe it is

By Creation Moments The half-life is a value which gives an indication of the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes. Radioactive decay occurs in an exponential, rather than linear way. Suppose an isotope, which we will call X, has a half-life of 1 year. If we have 32lb of X today, then in a year, we will have just 16lb – half of 32. In another year, however, we will lose only 8lb more—half of 16. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Ken Ham Millions of Christians around the world have been encouraged and inspired by the words and writings of “the Prince of Preachers,” Charles Spurgeon. His wisdom and insight into Scripture have helped many Christians discover the richness of God’s Word. But, because of changes in the English language over the past century, his writings can be difficult to understand. So Larry and Marion Pierce (translators of James Ussher’s The Annals of the World) have updated Spurgeon’s sermons so a new generation can learn from his words. This was a monumental task for the Pierces, but what a resource

By Creation Moments In two previous Creation Moments, I have described how radiometric dating works, and how uranium changes into lead. We found that, for every atom of uranium that decays, eight atoms of helium are made. If a rock contained no lead when it was formed, then all the lead must have been made from uranium, and there would be 8 times as many helium atoms as lead atoms. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

By Creation Moments Like many people of my generation, I was fascinated by the Apollo Moon landings from 1969 through 1972. As a small boy, I keenly watched all the special programs that I could on BBC TV. I clearly remember one of the BBC experts, signing off the Apollo 17 broadcast, by telling us that NASA would certainly have people on Mars before 1990. I waited eagerly, but it never happened. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

There are two major competing ideas for explaining the evolutionary origin of life on earth. In one story life emerges near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. The other version of the story is closer to Darwin’s original musings: life arises in a warm pond somewhere on early earth. In a recent study, scientists from Canada are claiming to have given the warm ponds theory a boost.1 Read More: Did Meteorites and Warm Ponds Make Life? | Answers in Genesis

One in four Church of England congregations don’t have a single child that regularly attends Sunday morning services. Because that denomination failed to reach the last generation, the current generation won’t be found on church pews either. And, if this trend continues, neither will the next generation. Church attendance in the UK is already down to just over 4%, down from over 45% about 70 years ago! A new report has found the following: Read More: Report: 25% of Church of England Churches Have No Children | Answers in Genesis
To many people, Noah’s Ark sounds like a fantastic voyage that never could have happened. Ancient man didn’t have the technology. A single family would not have enough time, manpower, or resources to complete such a massive undertaking. Oh really? Noah slapped his pen on the desk in frustration. “That won’t work either.” He buried his head in his hands and prayed. O God, help me. Stirred by his wife’s footsteps, he looked up to see her approaching. “What’s wrong?” Emzara asked. He sighed and raised his hands in frustration. “How can I make it strong enough

Besides the arrogance of such statements, this argument has no footing and should be cast off. Mainly, those who make this claim usually define “educated people” as those who accept evolution. Any who disagree fail the test, no matter what their background (e.g., if we follow this ideology, Isaac Newton must have been uneducated). There are many lists of well-educated scholars who look to the Bible for answers (here’s one)—and we could point out Darwin’s own deficit of formal education (he earned a bachelor’s in theology). But the bigger issue is that education—or lack thereof—does not guarantee the validity of

By Creation Moments Richard Dawkins believes he has found an organ system, which is badly designed, and so proves that no god could have designed it. He has popularized this accusation so widely that atheistic websites and forums simply quote the example, as if it were proven. He refers to the color receptors on the retina of the vertebrate eye. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
We’re expanding again at the Ark Encounter. Near the Ark, we’re building a 2,500-seat auditorium that will allow us to host workshops, conferences, special speakers, and other programs. Though Legacy Hall, our auditorium at the Creation Museum, seats 900, this bigger auditorium at the Ark will allow us to host even larger events here in Northern Kentucky.

Today’s global population contains people groups with a wide range of skin color.
