Humans have amazing eyesight. In fact, many camera companies have looked to the eye in an effort to glean useful information in developing better photographic and video technology. As effective as the human eye is, however, there are certain things it cannot do. One of those is to detect ultraviolet light. But researchers have recently discovered a creature with the amazing ability to detect ultraviolet light—the mantis shrimp. Mantis shrimp are some of the most interesting creatures in the water. They have extremely powerful claws and lightening fast reflexes. But their ability to see ultraviolet light makes their eyesight one

The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms defines “natural science” as, “Collectively, the branches of science dealing with objectively measurable phenomena…” (2003, p. 1402). A naturalist, then, is a person who believes everything in the Universe must be able to be explained through purely naturalistic processes—with no supernatural help. Everything believed must be based on empirical evidence that is “measurable.” According to the National Academy of Sciences, “The statements of science must invoke only natural things and processes. The statements of science are those that emerge from the application of human intelligence to data obtained from observation and experiment”

I’m typing this article on a personal computer. You are most likely reading it on some form of one, whether a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet (which are really just small computers). These amazing devices are all around us. Brilliant researchers have spent billions of dollars designing the most functional computers to help people all over the world achieve their goals. You may well know, however, that one computer is more powerful than any that humans have been able to design—the human brain. As LiveScience writer Charles Choi stated, “The most powerful computer known is the brain” (2013). But a

By Ken Ham Christianity is under attack: We need to respond to atheist propaganda! I have written a new article on this topic. Did you notice how so many atheists on my public Facebook page were very upset last night? It was because I called atheism what it is—a religion! So many of these people showed their intolerance for Christianity. We had to ban many of them for various reasons—name calling, foul language, and so on. For too long secularists have been intimidating Christians in this culture. I encourage you to read my article where I challenge Christians to start

By Ken Ham Secularists are working aggressively to eliminate any reference to Christianity from the culture. We are already seeing more of the intolerant left calling for Christians to keep their Christianity in churches and homes but out of the public arena. The battles to remove Christian symbols are becoming increasingly common, as certain atheist groups seek to replace Christian symbols with their religion of atheism. In past blog posts, I’ve noted many of these instances and, sadly, there are surely more to come. One of these many battles recently took place in King, North Carolina. According to the Washington

This dinner program (February 13 this year) is very popular and usually sells out.

This special evening features a delicious buffet-style dinner of chicken piccatta, roast beef in gravy,

By Ken Ham Are you equipped to answer skeptical questions about the biblical Exodus, especially now with the recent Christian Bale film on Moses and the Exodus being on many people’s minds? Most scholars and archaeologists today will tell you that there is no evidence for the Exodus of Moses and the Israelites from Egypt, but is this really so? What if they’ve simply been looking in the wrong place and time? An engaging new documentary, Patterns of Evidence: Exodus, seeks to wrestle with and answer these questions. This gripping film, shot on location in places like Egypt and Israel,

Trans-humanism, alien invasions, artificial intelligence: Nothing will be off limits for a new prophecy show that launched this week called SkyWatchTV. The brainchild of longtime author and student of Bible prophecy Tom Horn, SkyWatchTV launched its website and first online program Thursday and will soon be available on a host of cable TV channels. Horn says the show will address many themes traditionally of interest to Christians in a new-media format. Horn describes SkyWatch as a combination of ABC’s “20/20? and the popular “Unsolved Mysteries” series, but presented through the lens of an evangelical Christian worldview. “Good doctrine is really

By Ken Ham I was pleased to read an article today by The Associated Press that was quite fair in how the reporter summarized the struggle between our Ark Encounter project and the state of the Kentucky over the state’s denial of a future sales tax rebate for the Ark. The state has told us that the Ark must be open to hiring anyone and that we are too religious. Instead of rehashing the usual sound bites coming out of the atheist/secularist propaganda machine that has been disseminating so much false and misleading information about the Ark (which appear in

By Ken Ham I love Psalm 119: I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word. (Psalms 119:15–17) I enjoy reading through the Old Testament as much as the New Testament. At times, there are verses that “shout out” to me—and I stop and ponder them, as I contemplate the ministry the Lord has called us to at Answers in Genesis and the spiritual battle we are in (that seems to get more

By Ken Ham We live in a culture that seems to be attempting to redefine everything that God has ordained. This is especially seen in issues of family, marriage, and gender. Our culture as a whole is not just becoming more accepting of a new definition of family but is aggressively pushing this redefinition as good, healthy, and enlightened. But rejecting God’s original design is not good, healthy, or enlightened. All throughout Scripture we see examples of people who thought that they knew better than God, and each time it led to judgment and tragedy. Of course, the …read more

By Ken Ham Gay marriage, transgender issues, and climate change were just some of the items that US President Barack Obama mentioned during his recent State of the Union address. The President’s comments on these issues show that he is basing his thinking, and trying to make sure that America as a whole bases its thinking, on man’s word. God is clearly not the authority in his mind—man is. Sadly, this is a reality across America as our culture is becoming increasingly secular and is rejecting the Christian and biblical foundation that once permeated the nation. Civil Right or Moral

On this episode of ID The Future, host David Boze explores the ideas found in a Harper’s Magazine article by MIT physicist and author Alan Lightman. Some physicists attempt to side-step the intelligent design implications of our finely-tuned universe by suggesting that ours is merely one of countless universes, each with its own laws and constants. Lightman: “If the multiverse idea is correct, then the historic mission of physics to explain all the properties of our …read more Read
