The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Coming to AiG���s New Outreach in Branson, MO

I���m excited to announce that we���re opening a brand-new immersive experience, Truth Traveler, in Branson, Missouri.

In partnership with a businessman, we���re expanding to reach even more people with the message of the truth of God���s Word and the gospel. And we���ll do that through an incredible 5D experience and a Broadway-size stage featuring stunning productions in Branson���s iconic Moon River Theatre (that is being totally refurbished inside).

We are eagerly anticipating the first sched...

Pray for Victims of Severe Flooding in Kentucky

Please pray for Kentucky and the surrounding area!

You may have heard that we���ve been experiencing significant flooding in parts of Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana due to unusually heavy rainfall. Some areas are largely underwater. It���s heartbreaking to see the videos and photos of the damage.

We���re thankful that our attractions, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, were unaffected, but so much of our state is suffering and needs our support and our prayers.

We���re thankful that our attracti...

How NOT to Teach the Bible: Noah���s Flood Is ���Indefensible���

Is the biblical account of the global flood and Noah���s ark ���indefensible���? Well, that���s what apologist William Lane Craig recently told Latin American Christians during an online event. Rather than giving them answers to encourage them to trust God���s Word, he sowed seeds of doubt and pointed them away from the foundation of God���s Word, instead placing man���s word as the authority���and that���s dangerous!

It���s very dangerous indeed. Craig has previously compromised Genesis to the ...

Does New Evidence Show Chimpanzees Are ���Engineers���?

Did you know chimpanzees are apparently ���engineers���? Yes, a new study claims chimpanzees have ���folk physics��� and use ���rudimentary engineering��� as they use sticks to pull termites out of mounds. And why is this so exciting to the researchers? Well, because they believe it informs our understanding of early human evolution, of course.

So what is the observational evidence the researchers discovered? Well, they found that chimpanzees select plant material that is more flexible, heavily ...

Reflecting on a Religious Freedom Win, 10 Years Later

Did you know that 10 years ago, in 2015, we were in the midst of a battle between AiG and the State of Kentucky over religious freedom and First Amendment rights involving the Ark Encounter?

Many of you who were our supporters at the time may remember that Mike Johnson (now the Speaker of the House) who was chief counsel with Freedom Guard, and Nate Kellum, chief counsel with the Center for Religious Expression (both nonprofit organizations dedicated to defending religious freedom) led the case ...

Creationist Geologist David McQueen Passes Away at 72

Mally and I were saddened recently to hear of the loss of our friend David McQueen. A former US Geological Survey geologist and geology professor at the University of Virginia at Petersburg, he was a creationist geologist and was on staff with the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) when I was there in the ���80s.

David and Shirley, his wife of 53 years whom he met in AiG���s home state of Kentucky (he was thrilled when we located the ministry here 31 years ago), were a delightful couple who w...

New Mammalian Fossils Change the Evolutionary Story

Here���s your weekly dose of ���everything we thought we knew about evolution is wrong!��� Yes, the story is changing (as we���ve related over and over again) all the time. And this time it has to do with the small mammals that lived at the supposed ���time of the dinosaurs.���

It���s long been thought by evolutionists that the supposed extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago led to the ���age of mammals,��� as mammals quickly adapted to fill the ecological vacancy left behind by dinosa...

Behind the Scenes: What Does It Take to Maintain the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter?

Our facilities maintenance team for the Answers in Genesis offices, the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum is familiar with the implications of Romans 8:22: ���For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.���

We live in a fallen world, and things tend to wear out, run down, and fall apart! God still holds all things together by the power of his hand, but because of the curse, this no longer includes preventing death, disease, and decay. ...

How Do We Know What Dinosaurs Looked Like?

How do we know what dinosaurs or other extinct creatures from the fossil record looked like? Well, we often don���t! What we typically find are bits and pieces in the fossil record, and paleoartists interpret the evidence to try to reconstruct what the creature may have looked like���and they usually start with an evolutionary worldview and assumptions. So what happens when a creationist paleoartist draws a dinosaur?

Well, you can find out in this excellent video our social media team produced f...
