Creation Vacations for a Special Family

One of my closest friends is Dan Wooster. He shared with me about a special family he knows who participated in AiG’s Grand Canyon raft trip on the Colorado River in northern Arizona, and who also paid a visit to our Creation Museum near Cincinnati. Here is what Dan shared with me:

I took this picture [below] at the end of my first Grand Canyon rafting trip with Tom Vail of Canyon Ministries this summer. I met the Klessig family on this trip. They love the AiG ministry; in fact if you look closely at Darrell Klessig’s cap in the photo, you will notice a logo for AiG’s Ark Encounter project.

By the way, for her 16th birthday this year, his daughter, Natalya, had one request—to celebrate with some friends at the Creation Museum. Her parents gladly agreed, so they drove in their family’s motorhome from Wisconsin down to celebrate at the museum! (Their names in the photo, left to right, are Heidi, Joshua, Natalya, Darrel.)

AiG’s involvement in holding raft trips with Canyon Ministries is to expose laypeople and Christian leaders to the biblical worldview of a global Flood thru the Grand Canyon. Here’s a link to the blog I wrote after my trip (with photos).

Thanks, Dan. My brother Steve and his son just completed one of these raft trips, and I look forward to hearing of their experiences.

AiG will lead three 2013 raft tours inside the Grand Canyon, with some great Bible instruction and geologic teaching. I took one of the short raft trips several years ago; it was truly a memorable experience, and it helped me teach more effectively about the Flood and the formation of the Canyon. Next year’s tour dates—with the names of the AiG staff leading them—can be found at this link on the Canyon Ministries website.

These canyon trips typically fill quickly, so if you are interested, I urge you to check into them now.

Another Raving Fan—A Creation Museum Review from an Idaho Mom

I was so thrilled to get this letter from a woman in Idaho who visited the Creation Museum with her family. I trust her “raving fan” comments will encourage you as much as they did me, and if you have never been to our high-tech, family-friendly museum, it will encourage you to visit us. Now that we are out of the busy summer season, you don’t have to be concerned about the crowds; and our botanical garden—an attraction in itself—is beautiful right now.

If you doubt that the museum is worth a trip to our Cincinnati area, read on . . .

This spring, a dream came true for our family . . . we took a road trip out to Kentucky to visit your Creation Museum. We drove 2,100 miles one way to get there, but it was worth every mile!

I want to take this opportunity to express how your ministry has been such a tremendous blessing to our family. Of the several ministries dedicated to [creation] and to defending the Gospel, by far Answers in Genesis is our absolute favorite.

I am a home-schooling mother of two, and I consider your wide variety of resources to be invaluable, both educationally and spiritually. Hardly a day goes by when some member of ourfamily isn’t browsing your website for activities, books, or media to be used at home or church. Your video on demand section is amazing—thank you for generously allowing us to access [your videos] and wealth of knowledgeable sources!

We were able to spend two full days at the Creation Museum, and it seemed like each day we were the first to arrive and the last to leave. None of us wanted to miss out on a moment! I cannot even begin to explain how that experience strengthened us as a family. My mind is filled with memories.

The Creation Museum innovatively brings the Bible to life, and then extends the invitation for us to journey through it.

Your themed exhibits surpassed our expectations. Uncompromising detail was portrayed in every aspect of the displays, and the quality was truly a reflection of the passionate heart you have for our Creator and the truth of His Scriptures! I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone can travel through the Creation Museum and not become a believer. The museum is such a compelling presentation of the Bible.

The animatronic Noah was my absolute favorite in the museum! I pulled up a seat in front of him, pressed all the buttons at least once, and listened to Noah’s responses that were heartfelt on so many levels. I’m not ashamed to admit that tears came to my eyes as I reflected on the comparison of Jesus as our present-day Ark of Salvation, a concept I learned from AiG. I now incorporate this parallel while teaching small group Bible studies and children’s church.

Your planetarium and special effects theater were truly wondrous!

My son and daughter (ages 11 and 13) were so very impressed with the many dinosaurs displayed throughout the museum. They have studied these fantastic creatures for years, and what a thrill it was to be up close and personal with your remarkably crafted sculptures. My children are huge fans of all things AiG, soaking up biblical truths every chance they get. Speaking as a parent, I see your organization as a precious gift to me, and I appreciate the responsibility you have assumed in equipping the family and giving us an understanding of the times we are living in!

We have integrated a wide variety of AiG DVDs, books, magazines, pamphlets, wall charts, and educational curricula into our church library.

Thank you for your faithfulness to your calling. God willing, we will be back to experience the Ark Encounter when that is completed . . . a very exciting prospect! Be encouraged and know that west of the Rockies, and in this corner of North Idaho, a family has partnered with your ministry to defend the gospel of Jesus Christ.

—A.G., Idaho

A Week of Bill Nye the Humanist Guy

Recently  a video on YouTube entitled “Creationism is inappropriate for children” was produced by Bill Nye (known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy” from television) and it received over 3 million views—and gained much publicity through the secular media.

AiG responded to Nye’s anti-creationist video with a detailed article on the AiG website and also two videos on YouTube.  In one video, I decided to personally respond and with the title “Bill Nye the Humanist Guy.”  Bill Nye was given the humanist of the year award in 2010 and  has a definite anti-God agenda.  So it should not be surprising to anyone that he would come out with such a blast at those who don’t teach children evolution as fact—as he wants to see happen.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this anti-creation video has been posted as Bill Nye has a new video show coming on YouTube.  I’m sure he and those producing his new show realized that if they came out against creationists, particularly in regard to the teaching of children, they would get all sorts of publicity leading up to their new show.

I encourage you to watch both YouTube videos produced by AiG/Creation Museum—they both expose Bill Nye and the falsity of his arguments:

1.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxX11c1cSWU

2.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-AyDtD6sPA

I also encourage you to read AiG’s detailed written response to Bill Nye’s propaganda video:

www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2012/08/30/bill-nye-crusade-for-your-kids

And I love how AiG’s cartoonist Dan Lietha responded to Bill Nye:

www.answersingenesis.org/media/image/cartoons/after-eden/competent-advice

There have been a number of media articles linked to or mentioned AiG’s various responses:

religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/31/creationists-hit-back-at-bill-nye-with-their-own-video

www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=38628

www.thenewamerican.com/culture/education/item/12678-”science-guy”-attacks-parents-who-teach-children-creation-story

We  need to be reminded to pray for people like Bill Nye—from all we know about him, he is spiritually lost and so needs the Lord!

“Test of FAITH”—Well Named? A Warning!

As time goes on, I notice that it’s not just secularists who are trying to win the hearts and minds of our children to their unbiblical beliefs. Sadly, even professing Christians who have compromised with evolution and millions of years are also trying to instill a mistrust of God’s Word in our kids, particularly through curricula that claim to teach our children to think critically—but in reality, they indoctrinate them into evolutionary ideas. And the Test of FAITH’s new homeschool curriculum is no exception.

I’ve mentioned the Test of FAITH in a prior blog post, but I thought it would be important to warn you about the curriculum they’ve released. Available as a free PDF download from the organization’s website, their homeschool curriculum claims that it will help students strengthen their critical thinking skills and their faith in God.

And in a way, it is a “test of faith.” This is because this curriculum would certainly test the faith of your children in relation to God’s Word. The curriculum undermines the authority of the Bible! Please don’t subject your children to such a Bible undermining program. Teach them the Word of God without compromise.

The introduction to the curriculum makes the position of the authors clear: “The Test of FAITH DVD and the related Introductory Course for Homeschoolers aim to complement these materials by exploring Theistic Evolution, which is the most commonly held view among Christians working in the sciences” (p. 4). Just because theistic evolution is the most commonly held view doesn’t mean that it’s in line with God’s Word. Majority opinion does not determine truth!

The authors base their conclusions about theistic evolution on the faulty assumption that the Bible is not trustworthy.

The Bible was written in a pre-scientific time and does not speak directly to all the issues that new technologies and scientific ideas raise. (p. 4)

The authors use the term “pre-scientific time” in a derogatory manner (i.e., they likely believe that God told them only what they could understand about the creation, and therefore none of the account can be trusted). They also don’t distinguish between observational and historical science.

One of the featured interviews in the accompanying DVD is with John Polkinghorne, a former professor of mathematical physics and an ordained Anglican priest. In the DVD, he is touted as an “authority” on science and religion. He divides the Bible and science, saying, “I think science tells us how the world works, but religion tells us there is a meaning and purpose, something being fulfilled in the unfolding of the history of the world. So I need both those perspectives if I am truly to understand the really rich and remarkable world in which we live” (p. 16).

Polkinghorne and the other academics interviewed for this curriculum do not believe that Genesis is accurate in its account of creation. For them, Genesis only teaches theological concepts about God and man—not literal history as it actually does!

As is usual with such compromising material, the whole curriculum confuses observational and historical science. But here we even have a scientist mixing observational science (testable and repeatable) with historical science—beliefs about the past and origins (not testable or repeatable).

When it comes to the origin of the universe (historical science), we must look to God’s Word for answers—from the eyewitness account of the Creator. Unproven, untestable conjecture based on man’s fallible ideas won’t do. We need the Word of the only 100% reliable witness—the Creator God.

The introduction closes, “Above all, the goal of Test of FAITH is to encourage and reassure you that Christian belief has what it takes to pass modern science’s ‘test of faith’” (p. 4). Since when does God’s Word have to pass any of science’s “tests”? Professing Christians should be looking at observational science to see if this confirms man’s beliefs such as evolution (which it does not) or God’s Word concerning Genesis (which it most certainly does).

All this error I discussed above is in just the one-page introduction of the curriculum! Imagine what the rest is like.

The Devil is out to win over our children, and we must prepare them for the “tests of faith” that secularists and believers who have compromised with evolutionary ideas will bring their way. This curriculum does not pass the “test of faith.” It is a curriculum that fails the test, as it fails to stand on the authority of the Word of God beginning in Genesis.

Really, I think the curriculum should be named “Question Your Faith.” I believe it will cause many children and adults to stumble as they will end up questioning their faith in God’s Word!

Noah Visits Ark Encounter Studios

Recently we had a special visitor to the Ark Encounter studios (where the Ark project is being designed). Our talented design team built a set to represent part of Noah’s house and workshop. A special actor dressed up as Noah then acted out some scenes so our video team could film what they needed for a classy short video to advertise the Ark Encounter project, featuring a full-size Noah’s Ark to be built south of Cincinnati.

The set filled a large section of the Creation Museum’s fabrication shop:

Here is Noah, dressed and ready for action:

This won’t be on the video, but here is Noah as he catches up on emails between takes.

More on the “Evolution Guy”

I encourage you to read the feature article on AiG’s website today dealing with Bill Nye “The Science Guy” of TV fame and the video he made to slam Christians who reject evolution and don’t teach it as fact to children. Sadly, it has become a very popular video on the internet. Visit our website to read a rebuttal article superbly written by AiG writer/researcher Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell (plus see a high-quality three-minute video we produced that also rebuts Nye).

Time is Nye for a Rebuttal

I wanted to provide you with a link to a short video we just produced to counter an anti-creationist video that has gone absolutely viral on internet through YouTube and other outlets. The video shows Bill Nye, well-known for his popular PBS-TV program for young people called “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” taking a shot at creationists who teach that Genesis is true. It’s one of the most-watched videos this week on the Internet. (At last report, there have been over 2.2 million views on YouTube.) It was produced by an on-line think tank called Big Think.

A recent tactic by evolutionists in their battle against creationists, one that is especially used by Richard Dawkins, is to employ an ad hominem argument—that creationists are committing a form of “child abuse” when they teach creation to children. Well, that phenomenon continues, this time with Bill Nye.

AiG was planning to rebut Nye’s views in our regular news feature that we post on Saturdays called News to Note. But dozens of people have asked us to present our reply now, such as this emailer.

Not only have all Bill Nye’s arguments he mentions in this video been refuted on your website, but he insults everyone who doesn’t believe in evolution as ignorant and as holding everyone back. … A very convenient way to deny Christ is to embrace evolution.

We are doing so today with a video rebuttal featuring our “science guys”—Dr. David Menton and Dr. Georgia Purdom of our AiG and Creation Museum staff. These two PhD scientists were asked to reply to Mr. Nye, whose academic credentials do not come close to Drs. Menton and Purdom. You can watch their three-minute video here.

Click here to view the embedded video.

At AiG and the Creation Museum, we teach children and adults the truth concerning who they are in the Creator’s eyes—and where they came from. We tell people that they do have purpose and meaning in life and that they were created for a purpose. Our Creator loves us, even while we were sinners (for we have all sinned in Adam). Christ paid the penalty for our sin and offers a free gift of salvation. No, we are not just evolved animals as Nye believes; we are all made in the image of God.

By the way, our lead article tomorrow on our main AiG website we will go more into depth about the claims of Mr. Nye. We will even show you a photo of Bill Nye standing outside the Creation Museum (he did not go inside). Meanwhile, watch the well-done video by Drs. Menton and Purdom, and then Thursday morning check our home page for Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell’s thorough refutation of a man who calls himself “The Science Guy.”

Would you please do me a favor and send our video to as many people as you can? We need to get out the word and rebut Bill Nye. Thank you.

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing?

Thanks to AiG researcher Steve Golden for his valuable research for this blog item.

I received a letter from a supporter recently, who wanted to bring yet another example of the sad state of the church to my attention. Last month, a story was released about a Baptist pastor who preached a sermon on the inerrancy of Scripture—but really, it was a sermon against biblical inerrancy. (You can read the story online.)

Dr. Richard Kremer, pastor of Garden Lakes Baptist Church in Rome, Georgia, recently preached a sermon called “Is the Bible Inerrant?” which has since been removed from the church’s website (a transcript is still available).

Even though the sermon will appall you, I encourage you to read it and experience for yourself an example of what is being taught in part of the church! No wonder the church in this nation is in trouble!

In the sermon, the pastor challenges the accepted definition of inerrancy, claiming that the Bible has no original autographs.

There is no such thing as an original autograph of the Scripture, and to claim such a manuscript is the basis for the inerrancy is intellectually dishonest.

While it is true that we do not possess the original manuscripts today, Kremer is arguing that they never existed. He even goes so far as to claim that “the Bible is not a history book,” “the Bible is not a philosophy book,” and “the Bible is not a science book.” With all those caveats, what exactly can we trust in the Bible? More importantly, how can we trust all that it has to say about Jesus Christ? Well, that’s an exception, says Pastor Kremer.

When you come to talking about the character of God, the Bible is indeed inerrant. When you’re talking about the revelation of God in Christ, we can trust that information with perfect confidence.

My question to Dr. Kremer is this—“Who decided you can trust this section but not the rest? On what basis did you determine this? Or is it just your fallible human opinion?”

Well, as it turns out, Pastor Kremer’s issue with inerrancy largely hinges on the Genesis account of creation. And this should be a warning and lesson for all of us. Of course, his statement that “the Bible is not a science book” gave that all away—Pastor Kremer does not believe in a literal six-day creation. He says that the ancient biblical writers didn’t even know what geology was, so certainly the Genesis account of creation cannot be trusted.

I don’t want a scientist having to put his/her brain on ice because his/her discoveries contradict what the Bible allegedly teaches about one scientific discipline or another.

The goal of secular historians is often to discredit the miracles of the Bible, such as the Resurrection. Over the years, however, I’ve seen more and more pastors who are doing the exact same thing as this pastor. They are unwilling to defend a miraculous creation in six literal days because they have accepted the secular beliefs of the day in regard to millions of years (and even evolution). Thus they have unlocked a door that undermines the authority of Scripture at the beginning. They use man’s ideas outside of Scripture to reinterpret what the Bible clearly states concerning the account of Creation, the Fall, and the Flood. This then brings them one step closer to denying the miraculous Resurrection of Christ. After all, if we take secularist Richard Dawkins’s views of evolution and millions of years to the Bible, why not take his views that reject the Resurrection and Virgin Birth and reinterpret the Bible too? And we see this as Dr. Kremer goes on to point out supposed mistakes in sections of the Resurrection account (e.g.,when the women came to the tomb, etc.).

Often, when people argue against the inerrancy of Scripture, they will say things like, “Man is fallible, so we can’t trust the Bible because it was written by men.” This is a fallacy, since it does not follow that man has to make mistakes in everything he does. Of course, we know that man is indeed fallible, but that does not mean that men cannot write an infallible book, especially when they are inspired by the infinite Creator God to do so. But Pastor Kremer goes a step further and says that there are intentional contradictions in Scripture.

In the creation account of Genesis, chapter one, God creates everything in the world, then creates humanity last. In Genesis, chapter two, God creates humanity first, then creates the remainder of the natural order. The brilliant editor who brought those two accounts into one sacred text was fully aware of the discrepancies in the accounts—but he did not care!

One of the ways that some people try to discredit what Genesis teaches us about history is through the Documentary Hypothesis, which claims that there were at least four different authors who wrote the Pentateuch over many centuries and multiple editors (or “redactors”) who combined the writings into their present form. (For a detailed explanation of the Documentary Hypothesis, see Dr. Terry Mortenson’s article, “Did Moses Write Genesis?”)

Now, Pastor Kremer’s explanation of Genesis sounds awfully close to the discredited Documentary Hypothesis. There’s no doubt that Pastor Kremer mistrusts the Bible’s history. He even uses supposed contradictions regarding the circumstances surrounding the Resurrection to make his case. But our staff members have already responded to many of these alleged contradictions in our book series Demolishing Supposed Bible Contradictions. And Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell, AiG–U.S., wrote a detailed article dealing with the circumstances of the Resurrection.

When I hear these kinds of teachings where the trustworthiness of the Bible is being questioned, I often ask myself: What are the youth in the church learning from this? How are these teachings affecting their thinking? But we know the answer—they’re learning that God’s Word can’t be trusted, and thus they’re experiencing doubts about it! Sure, Pastor Kremer can try to say that passages about Jesus Christ are an exception and can be trusted, but that is not consistent with his views about Scriptural authority, and the teens in our churches know it. And statistics in America show clearly that at least two thirds of young people are leaving the church by college age. If this continues, the church will be only a relic in the future—as it is already in England today!

When Answers in Genesis contracted with America’s Research Group to perform the research for the book Already Gone (which we published in in 2009), we found that the vast majority of youths begin having their first doubts about the Bible in middle and high school. If you have never read Already Gone, I strongly urge you to do so. In this time when the church in America is in big trouble because of the compromise of pastors on the authority of Scripture beginning in Genesis, we have to strengthen ourselves and our children in the knowledge that we can fully trust God’s Word.

One day Dr. Kremer will have to give an account to the God of creation of what he taught adults, teens, and children in his church. I would not want to be in his shoes! Scripture reminds us that teachers will bear a stricter judgment.

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. (James 3:1)

I’m also reminded of other Scriptures as I studied what Dr. Kremer is teaching his flock.

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)

Yes, it may sound harsh to say that shepherds in churches can be “wolves” because of their destructive teaching. (I am not saying, though, that these shepherds are not Christians—I believe the destructive term can fit Christians as well as non-Christians.)

If You Get the Drift

When I was in Northern Ireland earlier this month, we noticed that a brief movie review appeared in a newspaper just to the south of us in the Republic of Ireland. The Irish Times on August 10 offered a brief review of the movie Ice Age: Continental Drift and it alluded to our Creation Museum. Here is how it read.

Ice Age: Continental Drift

Directed by Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier. Voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Lopez, Seann William Scott.

The latest indifferently animated Ice Age flick passes the time amiably in the manner of a mid-budget Saturday morning cartoon. Suburban mammoths argue. The squirrel is still funny. Ho-hum. The film is, however, remarkable in one regard. Showing a disdain for science that would seem extreme at a hearing on the teaching of creationism in Kentucky, Continental Drift argues that North America tore itself from Africa in an afternoon. Pardon? G cert., gen. release, 92 min. [emphasis ours]

So not only was there an allusion to our creationist ministry in Kentucky (most likely a reference to our Creation Museum, which has been mentioned in the Irish press a few times over the years) but also to our belief that the continents separated relatively quickly and did not “drift” over millions of years as the secularists believe.

Find more information on plate tectonics and “continental drift” in the Get Answers section of our website.

However, the exciting thing in regard to such exposure is that I do see the Creation Museum, AiG, etc. being referenced or alluded to around the world. There is no doubt that this ministry has made an international impact—regardless of how the secular press portrays us. By the way, here is what a Northern Ireland columnist wrote about our recent ministry tour.

Exploring our Expo of Colleges

Do you know any teenagers about to graduate from high school and are trying to decide what to do next? Well, encourage them to join us here at the Creation Museum for the College Expo, November 16–17. We will be hosting many of the nation’s leading Christian colleges in one place—offering prospective students the opportunity to meet and speak with representatives of these fine schools around the country.

Students and their parents will also be able to take in sessions from some of AiG’s speakers. I will be one of them.

This Expo is free for high school students who register on our website, and it includes complimentary admission to the museum for those students. Participating schools as of August 24 (and we expect a few more to be added) are:

Appalachian Bible College
Arrowhead Bible College
Bob Jones University
Cedarville University
Clearwater Christian College
Crown College
Dayspring Bible College & Seminary
Fairhaven Baptist College
Kentucky Mountain Bible College
Liberty University
Maranatha Baptist Bible College
Master’s College
Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary
Ohio Christian University
Ohio Mid-Western College
Patrick Henry College
Word of Life Bible Institute

This is one event for students and parents to become equipped and informed about higher education. Make sure the college that you choose will strengthen the foundations you have laid for your student and not erode the foundations that have been built on the authority of God’s Word. (Many Christian schools undermine the Bible’s history starting in Genesis.)

For the complete schedule and to register, go to: www.creationcollexpo.org

Noteworthy News

I encourage you to read our excellent weekly column—written especially for the web—by Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell called News to Note. Posted every weekend, it analyzes many news items of the previous week that relate to the accuracy and authority of the Bible. As you go to this weekend’s edition, look for the item about how our recent speaking ministry in Belfast drew the ire of a certain Northern Ireland columnist.

Answers—Now at Sam’s

About 20 Sam’s Club stores in the Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio area are currently offering the biggest-selling creation apologetics books in the world—the New Answers Book 1, Answers Book 2 and Answers Book 3—as a boxed set.  There are over 400,000 of these in print now.

I encourage you to let your friends know about this if they live in our Tri-State area—also let them know that Sam’s has its usual low Sam’s Club prices, so they would be good to purchase as possible gifts for this Christmas.

Here are some photographs we took at a local Sam’s Club yesterday:

I certainly praise the Lord for the way AiG apologetics books are being distributed to the culture.

Bible Bee and AiG

The National Bible Bee is a summer program of discipleship for families—especially for young people—to learn the Word of God, including through memorization. The Bee program concludes with a national competition in November. Today, regional competitions are occurring all over America, and the Bee organizers ask for your prayers for the participating families— as children and teens (ages 7–18) are taking part in 137 local contests.

The local competitions today are for young people who have spent a lot of time in Bible study and Scripture memorization, all done in the context of families studying the Word of God together. Of the 300 top-scoring contestants from today’s regional competitions, they will be invited to the national competition in Tennessee in November. At the national level, there are scholarships and cash prizes to be awarded, and AiG will be giving out major prizes for the big winners and their families.

Yesterday Mark McMahan, the CEO of the Bible Bee, shared some stats with me for the 2012 Bible Bee:  7,211 young people are competing in the 137 regions, coming from 3,522 families, and who are all “focused on family discipleship in their homes with their parent-led Bible Study, Bible memory and prayer.”
