Merry Christmas from Answers in Genesis

This year we added something new to ChristmasTown, our Christmas event at the Creation Museum attraction. Well, we added several new things, including the largest conservatory in the state of Kentucky (and the only one in the world exhibiting the plants of the Bible), but that���s not what I want to highlight today.

Along the side of the lake, near the gazebo, we added signs (leading up to the live nativity on our new outdoor stage) with Scriptures beginning in Genesis with God���s promise that ...

A Scientific Explanation for the Christmas Star?

What was the ���Christmas star���? It seems most Christmases there���s another video or news report about how the Christmas star was a conveniently timed natural phenomenon like a planetary alignment or a supernova. But Scripture is our ultimate authority. What does it say about the star that guided the wise men to the young Jesus?

Well, we have a stellar astronomer (and by that I don���t just mean he���s a great astronomer, I mean he specializes in stars!) on our staff here at AiG, and he gave ...

Flat-Earthers and ���Globe-Earthers��� Head to Antarctica To Settle the Debate

The flat-earth community has grown rapidly in the past decade or so, fueled by endless YouTube videos claiming to ���prove��� the earth really is flat and that a globe earth is just a giant conspiracy. Sadly, many Christians get sucked into this false idea and usually become evangelists, not for Christ, but for a flat earth. It���s a massive distraction from the truth of God���s Word and the gospel. So one pastor took a group to Antarctica for what he calls ���The Final Experiment.���

Our astron...

Praise the Lord: Another Successful Catalyst Event

Here at Answers in Genesis, we just finished hosting our second Catalyst program. Like our first one last year, it was a huge success, and we���re so thankful to the Lord for the impact of this experience on Australian young people.

Catalyst invites young people from Australia to come to Northern Kentucky for nearly two weeks of worldview training, fun American experiences, and, of course, time to visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions and volunteer at these facilities while her...

Continuing the Business of the King for 2025

As Christians, we need to make sure we do not in any way let up on doing the business of the King till he returns (see the parable of the ten minas, Luke 19:11���13).

At Answers in Genesis, as long as the Lord allows us and continues his call on our lives, we will do all we can to reach as many as possible with the truth of God���s Word and the gospel. After all, there is no more vital message in the universe than the one that impacts a person���s eternity. Jesus said, ���Just so, I tell you, th...

New Species of ���Sparkly Blue��� Bee Discovered in Texas

Scientists have just named a brand-new species of mining bee (small bees that are very important pollinators): Andrena androfovea. Unlike the typical yellow and black that everyone pictures when they think of a bee, this little bee is a ���sparkly blue��� color. How should we understand this new species in a biblical worldview?

Well, for the study, scientists sequenced the bee���s genome, comparing it to those of other Andrena bees. What they found was that ���it does not fit into any of the exi...

The Pilgrim���s Progress to Come Alive at the Ark

Yes! One of the most stunning stage productions you will ever see is coming to the Ark Encounter���s Answers Center on select days, January 3���18, 2025.

This is a wonderful opportunity for all ages to experience the most popular Christian allegory ever written. Here on stage, The Pilgrim���s Progress will come alive in a way you have never experienced before.

The Logos Theatre group who does this stage presentation made sure it was true to the text. (This is the same group that performed The Hor...

AiG Resources Used to Reach Ukrainian Refugees

We receive so many testimonies each week from people who���ve been impacted by Answers in Genesis. The amazing story below came in recently, and I wanted to share it here so my readers can see how the Lord is using the ministry to impact Ukrainian refugees. I trust this will encourage you (and I urge you to pray for the outreach detailed in the letter).

This letter came from a woman who is part of a Ukrainian church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She writes,

I just wanted to thank you again for t...

Praise God: Children Are Being Protected

Here in the US, we are waiting to see how the Supreme Court will rule on a case involving children who believe they are transgender taking drugs and undergoing surgery to irrevocably change their bodies. We pray the court makes a decision in accord with biblical truth and observational science (and common sense!). In two other places���the UK and Alberta, Canada���such rulings have already been passed down, which is a reason to praise the Lord.

The UK announced last week that they will extend th...
