By Ken Ham Recently a blog post appeared on the BioLogos website (an organization that promotes compromising Genesis with millions of years and evolution, and spreads that message to the church) written by a recent homeschool graduate who describes his switch from accepting young-earth creation to believing in old-earth, evolutionary ideas. He claims, “My shift away from young-earth creationism began not due to convincing answers from the evolutionist crowd, but because of the unconvincing and confusing answers of the young earth crowd.” Question on Dinosaurs The objection that supposedly first made Jacob begin to question God’s Word in Genesis was

By Ken Ham Well, I’m “That Guy” again! Is Bill Nye (TV’s “the Science Guy”) so afraid of us that he can’t utter my name? He has done a number of TV interviews lately, and he just won’t mention my name when he’s asked by interviewers about our February debate at the Creation Museum. Time and time again he just calls me “That Guy.” I know that he has the rights to use the debate video (as we also do), but he doesn’t seem to want people to watch the debate. On our websites we promote the links to the

By Ken Ham My wife and I arrived in Brisbane, Australia on November 14 (we are visiting aged parents in ill health), the day before the G20 Summit that was held in Brisbane. President Obama, along with leaders from several other countries (including Russia and China), attended the two-day conference. Millions and Billions . . . of Dollars I was interested to read in the Australian news that Australia spent close to $400 million in security and other costs to protect the attending world leaders.

By Ken Ham Church employees in California are next on the list of Christians facing attacks on their religious freedom here in the United States. AiG has written several blogs and articles recently on that very topic; we are noticing that the battle for religious liberty in America is only getting fiercer. In Texas the attack was on freedom of speech for pastors; in Kentucky the battle is about the Ark Encounter’s freedom of speech and its right to hire people who agree with our religious tenets or statement of faith; in Idaho the issue was a wedding …read more

By Ken Ham Look at those smiling students! I recently received a thank you letter and photo from the fifth-graders at Concordia Lutheran School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They are studying the Seven C’s of History, and I made them a video (which you can watch below) to encourage them to stand firmly on the Word of God and its account of history. I am always thrilled when I hear of schools like this one that are training their students to think biblically and to trust God’s Word from the beginning. Sadly, as documented in my coauthored book Already Gone

“It’s hard to believe that a body named the “Food Safety Authority” would make such an insane ruling since the dangers of GMO crops are well documented. They are clearly not interested in food safety but in furthering corporate interests at the expense of everyones health.” Admin Nations and regions which want to stay free of genetically-modified crops will be banned from doing so under a devastating ruling by EU scientists. The decision, the first from the new European Food Safety Authority, means governments will be unable to stop the controversial plants being grown on their soil – effectively opening

Why does the biotech industry keep hiding the toxicity of their products?

“When the police start considering themselves a “paramilitary” outfit we are in trouble.” Admin The militarization of American police with equipment and weapons used by the U.S. military has causedcontroversy across the country.

The Church of Scotland has taken a significant step towards ordaining practicing homosexual ministers, after a majority vote by local bodies. Out of a total of 45 regional presbyteries, over 30 are thought to have voted in favor of allowing congregations to appoint gay ministers who are in civil partnerships. The issue has already caused 18 ministers and hundreds of members to leave the denomination. A final decision will be made after draft legislation is passed to the Church of Scotland’s General Assembly in May.

By Ken Ham It was my mother’s pastor who brought the following item to my attention. I attended church on Sunday with my mother in Brisbane, Australia, and the pastor’s sermon mentioned a speech given by President Obama in Australia a few days before. The pastor was shocked that, among other things, the president encouraged young people to go against the beliefs of the older generation. The pastor was so bothered by what the president said that I decided to do a web search later and found the president’s speech (on the White House website). Once I read the words

How much time would evolution need in order to make a mouse the size of an elephant? Since this kind of evolution supposedly occurs too slowly for biologists to observe, one place to look for answers is in the fossil record. But in order to answer this particular research question, a team of evolutionary biologists made some large assumptions. The group published what amounts to a circularly-reasoned argument in a peer-reviewed journal.1 They estimated the maximum rate of evolution to achieve the most extreme change in mammal sizes. To do this, however, they had to first assume that small changes

By Ken Ham The co-founder of the Weather Channel caused quite the stir when he wrote that “there is no climate crisis . . . the science is not valid.” After being rejected to present the other side of climate change at a recent forum, John Coleman wrote an open letter to the forum stating his view on climate change: There is no significant man-made global warming at this time, there has been none in the past and there is no reason to fear any in the future.

“Please remember to pray for him.

“Great article on what’s happening in that war torn area and how the Gospel is spreading there.” Admin Atrocities by the Islamic State (ISIS) are softening the hearts of Muslims to Christianity, and evangelistic techniques and technologies are proving effective, but locally-based missionaries say the main reason for the spike in conversions in the Middle East is simply that former Muslims are finding God is real. In war-torn areas of Syria and Iraq where ISIS is fighting to establish a caliphate, Muslim refugees to neighboring countries, Internally Displaced People and people remaining at home are learning about Christ from native

Conservatives have been mocked for insisting there’s an ongoing war on Christmas, but now it looks like they may have simply been ahead of their time.

“One of the places Dumitru Duduman was told missiles would be launched from when the Russian sneak attack occurs is Cuba.
