Feb. 25, 2013 7:34pm Jason Howerton Parents are demanding answers after a Texas teacher reportedly invited female students to dress up in Islamic garb and told the class to refer to Muslim terrorists as freedom fighters. Texas state Sen. Dan Patrick, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, has launched an investigation into the incident. He told Fox News he was disturbed after seeing a photograph of female students wearing burqas and learning that students were reportedly taught that the cause for Egypt’s turmoil is democracy, not the Muslim Brotherhood, based on an article by the Washington Post ….

Tune in as Casey exposes this misinformation and reviews the hard facts.
Saturday Night Live’s” skit over the weekend about Jesus Christ slaughtering Romans has caught a fair bit of attention — and controversy. The violent sketch quickly led Fox News’ Todd Starnes, among others, to wonder whether NBC has officially declared a “war on Christians.” In an op-ed and in an appearance on “Hannity,” Starnes doubled-down on his criticism of the network for airing the Jesus segment, as he accused mainstream outlets of exhibiting an anti-Christian bias.

By Ken Ham Dr. Deborah Haarsma (previously a professor at Calvin College, a Christian college in Michigan) is the newest president of BioLogos (an organization attempting to get the church to reject a literal Genesis). She recently contributed to a series of articles on whether there really was an historical Adam. Her article, “Historical Adam: Embracing the Questions,” does just that—it embraces questions and provides no answers. In fact, it sows more doubt and confusion than anything. Haarsma accepts evolutionary ideas and mixes them with Scripture, a view that is known as theistic evolution or evolutionary creation. After listing a

By Ken Ham It’s time to share one of the many positive testimonies we receive on a regular basis. AiG speaker and writer Dr. Tommy Mitchell shares with us today: Several months ago, I met a wonderful couple at a conference in Mississippi. They told me that their wedding anniversary was coming up soon and they were considering a visit to our Creation Museum as part of their anniversary celebration. I told them that if they decided to come, I would be happy to be their host and provide them with passes to the museum. As it happens, they did

By Ken Ham Secularists try to make out that creationists can’t be real scientists! Not only does AiG employ a number of highly qualified scientists with PhD degrees in many fields, but works with many other scientists outside of AiG. Here is just one of many such examples. Our long-time ministry friend Dr. Stewart Turner—he has a PhD in aeronautical engineering from the University of Arizona—comes by from time to time to visit us and walk through the Creation Museum. As a museum member, Dr. Turner is always interested to see what’s new at the museum. On a recent visit,

By Ken Ham It amazes me that we still see secular scientists and others using the false idea that the appendix is a left-over (or vestige) of evolution. The supposed functionless appendix is used as evidence for Darwinian evolution. This false idea came up in some recent articles, such as in the popular UK newspaper/website The Daily Mail this month. Basically, Darwin said the appendix was a functionless evolutionary vestige. Because of that, scientists throughout most of the 20th century made light of evidence that the appendix really had a function. Actually this is just one example of how a

By Ken Ham That’s the title of an article that has shown up on some websites in my home country of Australia. Actually, this article originated from an atheist site in the U.S., and versions of it have shown up all over the internet on secularists’ sites and some news sites (sometimes with different headlines). Here is a link to one of them, which I will comment on below. At first I wasn’t even going to respond to yet another attack that is designed to malign AiG (and me personally), but because it has shown up on some websites in

By Ken Ham We’re witnessing dramatic changes in our American culture—and they aren’t for the better. Recently, a Florida court ruled that a child could have three parents named on his or her birth certificate. (Read the full article here.) Secularists are continuing to advance their agenda of redefining the family. Now, the case involves a same-sex couple (two lesbian women), one of whom had a child by artificial insemination. The father, who had initially agreed to donate and then depart, decided after the fact that he wanted to be a part of the child’s life—and a two-year legal battle
