More and more people in the church today are recognizing that America is becoming increasingly pagan every day! This nation has all but abandoned God and His Word. Read more here: AIG Daily

As part of the AiG conferences I speak at each year across the nation, we usually conduct special sessions for children and teens, which we call “school assemblies.” Each year, I am able to teach many thousands of kids the truth of God’s Word and equip them to defend the Christian faith. Here is a photograph of some of the hundreds of children I taught at school assemblies in the Chicago area this past Monday (at Quentin Road Bible Baptist Church, Lake Zurich). As part of what I do to teach the children (kindergarten through grade 6), I teach them

The St Louis zoo in Missouri, USA, has a $17.9 million exhibition majoring on evolution, which includes a statue, purportedly a reconstruction of the famous australopithecine part–skeleton ‘Lucy’, showing remarkably human–looking feet (see photo below). Associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the nearby Washington University, Dr David Menton (interviewed in Creation 16(4),16–19) says that these feet are not based on the fossil facts. Foot reconstruction of ‘Lucy’ The usual artistic licence in reconstructing the fleshly features of ‘apemen’ from bones allows evolutionary bias enormous free rein. However artists do not usually misrepresent the bones. This statue’s feet and hands

The Tower of Babel can be a controversial issue for some people. Even within the church, the Tower is attacked as a mythological account—or some will state that it has little value in history and needs to be reinterpreted with modern eyes. Recently, Bodie Hodge of AiG authored a new book called Tower of Babel: The Cultural History of Our Ancestors. This book takes a unique look at the events of the Tower of Babel and how this piece of biblical history reveals insights into the genealogy of all of us. Watch the short video trailer about the new

We’re conducting our own “spring cleaning” inside our huge AiG warehouse in northern Kentucky, and we hope you will “spring” into action to take advantage of some wonderful sales on books, videos, and other items at the Creation Museum on April 4–6. In addition to selling overstocked items, we also will have on sale some slightly worn or damaged resources—this clearance includes books, DVDs, curriculum, and even some clothing. Please note that while we would also love to have you tour the Creation Museum on those days of April 4–6 (Thursday through Saturday), our large selection of materials will be

Scientists studying babies have found that brains of six-month-olds are perfectly structured to learn language. This gives a glimpse of the Creator's handiwork in equipping people to develop into beings that share His image, by sharing His ability to use language. More…

Following September 11, 2001, the increased prominence of Islam in the media, and public declarations by government (and many church) leaders that Islam is a ‘great’ religion, will likely raise further questions in the minds of many young people in the churches. E.g. ‘Do Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God?’ and ‘What does the Koran say about the Bible?’ Many Christian commentators have sought to raise awareness of fundamental doctrinal differences between the Koran and the Bible (see below), but few people are aware of how the Muslim’s holy book starkly contradicts the Biblical account of our origins.

Taxonomic manipulations likely common by Michael J. Oard When looking at evolutionary biostratigraphic or taxonomic schemes, one cannot help but be impressed with the detail and presumed precision of many of them. Charts show the change of each species, often just a small change from a similar ‘species’, over time. Many of these fossils are used as index fossils to date sedimentary rocks. Such precision in taxonomic schemes has an aura of accuracy and truth and has persuaded many Christians to believe these schemes and/or to believe in molecules-to-man evolution. But a closer look reveals that there is much that

Researchers recently found hundreds of specimens of a fossil creature in a rock layer that evolutionists say formed about a half-billion years ago. Other than the fact that the ancient creatures were larger than the same ones living today, they don't look very different, let alone evolved. More…
“One of many marvels of design in nature.” Admin Unscrambling the mysteries by David Catchpoole Imagine a container filled with amorphous-looking bits of metal, plastic and some software chips. Could you imagine it breaking out as a fully-assembled scale model motor car? Then growing larger as it absorbs raw materials, as well as energy, from its surroundings? What sort of advanced software engineering would be required? As for any ideas of it being able to ‘marry’ another like itself, thus repeating the whole cycle by producing another container of metal, plastic and software … such notions could rightly be dismissed

I read this news report a few days ago: Controversial faith leader Rob Bell spoke over the weekend at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Calif., where the former pastor openly endorsed gay marriage. When asked about the controversial issue by The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw, who was moderating the event, he offered up a clear and concise response – one that will serve as a surprise to many conservative evangelicals. “Yes, I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love,” he said, going on to get more specific. “Whether it’s a man and a woman, a

Researchers studied some photographs taken by the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and now think that a former lake was once on the red planet's surface. They believe that the water may have come from underground, which leads them to think that life may still live, and have originated, below the surface. More…

Because people have been exposed to the many topics AiG covers (at seminars, on the radio, through our website and Creation Museum, etc.), it’s possible that many of them can forget what’s really at the heart of what we do at AiG. So I felt it was time to remind everyone of what the core message of the Answers in Genesis ministry really is. Our culture is quickly abandoning the authority of God’s Word, including two-thirds of youth in the church by the time they reach college age! We can’t afford to forget the heart of the AiG message—it’s about teaching people

The journal Nature described four “puzzling” solar system bodies that have properties that shouldn't exist if our system is billions of years old. But these features make perfect sense if our solar system is only thousands of years old, just as the Bible states. More…

A Russian resident recently discovered a metal bar gear embedded in some coal. The obvious answer to how the gear got there is that the coal formed around the abandoned metal piece not long ago. But since secularists maintain that the coal is millions of years old, some think that the gear came from ancient aliens instead. More…
Synchronized Sunday school for all ages! Answers Bible Curriculum is a full-featured, chronological, 3-year Sunday school program.
