AiG Staff Hard at Work Getting Ready for Our Free Christmas Events

In August, our grounds teams at the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter began to prepare for our 17th annual ChristmasTown and 9th annual ChristmasTime events. These colossal projects take three to four months of hard work to turn the attractions into two of the most spectacular Christmas light displays in Northern Kentucky. Enjoy some photos of the teams hard at work:

These photos from last year give you an idea of what it will look like when it���s all done���although each year it gets more ...

Does Teaching Evolution Promote Atheism in the Classroom?

A federal court recently dismissed a lawsuit filed by Christian parents against the state of Indiana. The lawsuit claimed ���teachers violate religious freedom law when they promote ���the atheist religion��� by teaching students about evolution.��� The court ���allowed the science education standards to remain in place,��� claiming that ���evolution is not a religious concept.��� But were they right?

Well, first we have to understand that there are two different kinds of science: observational ...

Dragon Legends: Fact or Fiction?

At the Creation Museum, we have a stunning exhibit and a fascinating new 4D theater experience dealing with the topic of dragon legends. These legends are found all over the world in a wide variety of cultures. So were dragons real creatures?

Well, let���s start with an analogy from our Dragon Legends exhibit to answer this question.

Legends of an ancient flood exist in hundreds of cultures around the world. A large number of these traditions share common elements with the biblical Flood describe...

In Memory: 5 Years Since Dr. Tommy Mitchell Went to Be with the Lord

It���s hard to believe it���s been five years since my dear friend and beloved Answers in Genesis speaker Dr. Tommy Mitchell passed away. Tommy was one of my closest friends, and he has been greatly missed by everyone here at Answers in Genesis.

Tommy was a medical doctor and served with us for 15 years as one of our most effective and dynamic speakers���people loved him! His sense of humor and the wealth of knowledge he brought to the ministry have been noticeably absent.

I remember when I would...

���Inclusive Sunday Collectives���: Elevating Man���s Wisdom Over God���s Word

I was recently sent a USA Today article highlighting the growth of ���inclusive Sunday collectives,��� communities of former ���evangelical Christians,��� atheists, agnostics, ���nones,��� and ���spiritual������people who���ve abandoned ���traditional organized religion��� but still want a sense of community, belonging, and ���spirituality.��� It was a stark reminder of something I���ve taught over and over again.

You see, every single one of the communities highlighted in the article had one th...

Trump Opens Up About Mortality: Ken Ham Responds

I���m about to get political!

We won���t be voting for a perfect person, but we need to judge the worldview of all such public figures against the authority of God���s Word, pray for them, and vote accordingly.

Well, the video I���m going to share below, which was recorded on the final evening of our 40 Days and 40 Nights of Christian Music Festival, held at the Ark Encounter, isn���t about whom to vote for in the election. There are only two realistic options, and Christians need to vote to mini...

Construction Update: Welcome Center and Jerusalem Building

Construction continues! Enjoy these photos that give you an update on the quickly advancing construction of the new Welcome Center and Jerusalem building at the Ark Encounter. It���s exciting to see the structure form���it���s going to be such a wonderful addition to the Ark attraction.

The Welcome Center will open sometime in 2025, and the Jerusalem building (housing a stunning, massive model of first-century Jerusalem at a 1:100 scale) will open in 2026.

Thanks to all our supporters who enable...

A Classic Creationist Book Gets a New Update

Well, I did it again! I updated and revised what I consider to be the classic book of our entire ministry. And it���s quite an upgrade. But more on that and how you can obtain a copy later.

Back in 1975, I gave my first ever creation apologetics talk as a sermon in a Baptist church in the country town of Dalby, 2.5 hours west of the city of Brisbane in Australia.

It was all part of pioneering the creation apologetics ministry that became known as Answers in Genesis. I have gained a lot of wisdom ...

Answers Academy Needs Musical Instruments: Can You Help?

We���re in search of musical instruments! Do you own any instruments that are not being used that you could donate to our biblical worldview discipleship Christian school, Answers Academy, and their music program?

Many families have instruments just sitting around gathering dust that could be used to teach coming generations how to use and appreciate them. Our Answers Academy music teacher is wanting to build up a supply of such instruments at the school for regular demonstration, including:

Many...

Thousands of Students Impacted at Cedarville University Event

Yes, we���re now living ���in Babylon������the Western world is hostile to the Christian faith, and we feel the exile. So how should we live? Well, that���s what Martyn Iles and I were equipping students for this past weekend at Cedarville University in Ohio with our program Living in Babylon.

Cedarville is one of the few Christian universities that stand with Answers in Genesis on the authority of God���s Word beginning in Genesis. We���re thankful for them and their bold stand.

It was such a p...
