“If you’ve ever felt that government pays no attention to what the people actually want, well you’re right they don’t.” Admin A shattering new study by two political science professors has found that ordinary Americans have virtually no impact whatsoever on the making of national policy in our country. The analysts found that rich individuals and business-controlled interest groups largely shape policy outcomes in the United States. This study should be a loud wake-up call to the vast majority of Americans who are bypassed by their government. To reclaim the promise of American democracy, ordinary citizens must act positively to

Listen Now. Part 2 On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Michael Behe talks with Casey Luskin about recent findings that support his argument in The Edge of Evolution. Dr. Behe explains why Chloroquine, a drug that treats malaria, presents a good opportunity to study the limits of random mutation and natural selection, and how his conclusions inspired so much backlash–including misrepresentation of his argument–from his critics.
By Ken Ham Answers in Genesis continued its yearly outreach at the National Education Association’s annual convention, once again donating multiple thousands of dollars’ worth of books, DVDs, magazines, and other resources—all of which were freely given away to thousands of teachers at the event (thanks to the generosity of AiG donors who designated their gifts to this outreach). Coming alongside the booth sponsor, the NEA Creation Science Educators’ Caucus, every year, AiG and the caucus have a great impact at the convention, influencing and encouraging many teachers who approach the booth. But this year, Tony Ramsek of our staff,

“Great to know a company of such dubious conduct is cranking out a vaccine, with who knows what being put in it, that may well be made mandatory to take if this crisis worsens.” Admin While the world of conventional medicine lines up to profit from the Ebola panic, there is no mention anywhere in the mainstream media of the criminal corporation behind the Ebola vaccine. GlaxoSmithKline, now being celebrated by the pro-pharma press, is the same company that also has a proven criminal record of bribing physicians and knowingly distributing misleading information about the safety of their drug products.

First Monsanto took over our Congress, then our Supreme Court, and now they are trying to take over journalism. Without freedom of speech and fair reporting, none of us would ever know just what hideous deeds these monopolizing corporations were up to. In Monsanto’s latest inexcusable move, the company is trying to have a veteran reporter fired for reporting on genetically modified organisms fairly. Reuters’ journalist Carey Gillam has covered issues pertinent to GMOs for the past 16 years. This is no easy task with the growing GMO controversy and its polarized pro- and anti-GMO perspectives. She has tried to

The chemical triclosan has been linked to cancer-cell growth and disrupted development in animals. Regulators are reviewing whether it’s safe to put in soap, cutting boards and toys. Consumer companies are phasing it out. Minnesota voted in May to ban it in many products. At the same time, millions of Americans are putting it in their mouths every day, by way of a top-selling toothpaste that uses the antibacterial chemical to head off gum disease — Colgate-Palmolive Co.’s Total. Total is safe, Colgate says, citing the rigorous Food and Drug Administration process that led to the toothpaste’s 1997 approval as

By Ken Ham Earlier last month, the United Nations announced that it will now recognize the same-sex “marriages” of its staffers at the UN, UNESCO, UNICEF, and its other agencies. Up to now, the UN would only recognize gay “marriages” if the staffers came from countries where such unions were legal. The new change means that same-sex couples just have to marry in a country where it’s legal. According to a report from the Associated Press, the policy also affects employees’ benefits: The change means gay spouses of U.N. employees can get health insurance coverage and the chance to accompany

By Creation Moments Behavioral researchers define teaching very specifically. First, of course, a teacher must have pupils. Then the teacher must be less efficient in doing whatever he is doing than he normally would be if he were alone, as a means of showing the pupils how to do the task. And finally, the pupils must learn the task more quickly than they would on their own. read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments
The Internal Revenue Service, already probably the most-feared and reviled federal agency in America’s history, is trying to live down its earned reputation for attacking conservative and church groups. There still are multiple investigations ongoing as well as a multitude of lawsuits over the agency’s actions against those groups over the last five or six years. The IRS actions also are the focus of outrage in Congress where members are considering an arrest of former IRS official Lois Lerner for her actions to allegedly conceal information about the agency’s discriminatory practices. Now it’s being revealed that the IRS could be

Actor Jim Caviezel never imagined the physical and spiritual battles he would have to endure when he took the role of the Son of God in Mel Gibson’s 2004 blockbuster “The Passion of the Christ.” Appearing at the Rock Church in San Diego, Caviezel told the congregation he was wounded during a whipping scene and struck by lightning during the final take. “The whip went over, and I had a 14-inch gash on my back. I went right down like in a football game when you get the wind knocked out of you. I saw God,” Caviezel said. Caviezel tried

By Ken Ham I’m being asked by supporters if I would comment on the upcoming film Exodus: Gods and Kings, scheduled to be released on December 12. It’s a film about Moses with the title role played by well-known actor Christian Bale (of Batman fame). Now, this latest Bible-themed movie from Hollywood comes several months after the controversial movie Noah, which was a terrible film (see our review here). We have heard that an Episcopal priest familiar with the production of Exodus: Gods and Kings has declared that the film will be respectful of Christians. But from the few things

By Ken Ham We’ve been reporting on some very large crowds at the Creation Museum this summer. On some days, we’re even exceeding the attendance on the same days seven years ago when we first opened. On one Saturday this month, we had 3,000 guests! Recently, museum guests were able to hear Dr. Raymond Damadian, inventor of the MRI scanner. He flew in from Long Island to speak at the museum and also to students attending the Camp Infinity “STEM” program in our area.

By Ken Ham On rare occasions, we do come across an article in the secular media about the AiG ministry that is accurate. This week, we were pleased to read an article in Cincy magazine that was well written, and it accurately reported on Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the coming Ark Encounter. I compliment the author for his attention to accurate detail, and also the magazine for publishing it in this Cincinnati publication. I encourage you to read this short and engaging article—and send it to others. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for <a class="colorbox" …read

According to a senior health fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, the world has no strategic plan to contain the worst Ebola outbreak in history while scientists are saying an outbreak on U.S. soil would require sweeping measures. Total quarantine of cities or sections of infected cities and restrictions on air travel could be expected. “We’re now in a perfect storm,” Laurie Garrett said in a CFR conference call Thursday in which she described the United Nations World Health Organization as “bankrupt” and drowning in debt. “There is no strategic plan for how this epidemic will be brought under

There are many strange creatures living in the sea, but few stranger than the Nudibranch Sea Slug. And there are few whose design is more damaging to the theory of evolution. Sea slugs mainly eat sea anemones, which are covered with stinging cells that normally burst at the slightest touch, firing poison darts at the creature which touched them. The sea slug, however, is able to tear sea anemones apart and swallow the stinging cells without bursting them!

On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin reports on a 2009 peer-reviewed paper arguing for the irreducible complexity of two systems vital to bird flight — feathers and the avian respiratory system. The author, Leeds University professor Andy McIntosh, challenges his critics to consider the design hypothesis as a valid scientific assumption “borne out by the evidence itself.”

By Ken Ham In the past, the Courier Journal of Louisville, Kentucky, has blasted AiG, the Creation Museum, and the future Ark Encounter many times, which comes as no surprise with this leftist, anti-Christian newspaper. The Courier Journal is now terribly upset that our Ark project is actually going ahead and construction is starting soon. Today, the paper’s editors wrote an editorial against the Ark project. I could almost imagine the editors throwing a tantrum as they wrote the piece because their religion is being challenged in the state: “How dare AiG bring something Christian to Kentucky!” “How dare the

Listen Now. On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews University of British Columbia at Vancouver philosophy faculty member Richard Johns on his paper in the journal Synthese titled “Self-organisation in dynamical systems: a limiting result.” In the paper, Dr. Johns argues that there are limits to the complexity of structures that can be produced by self-organization. Johns shows that Darwinian evolution is actually a type of a self-organizing process, and that it too is limited in the types of biological structures it can produce.
