What to Do When the Storms Come

Yesterday, the AiG staff had the privilege of hearing a message by Pastor Fred Luter, from Franklin Ave Baptist Church in New Orleans. Pastor Luter’s church building and home were all but destroyed in the massive flooding as a result of Hurricane Katrina (2005). He challenged the staff with a very dynamic message as he recounted his own struggles in dealing with such devastation—particularly when a very pagan part of New Orleans was left untouched. You can listen to Pastor Luter’s challenging message below:

Here are some photographs taken of Pastor Luter yesterday during his visit to AiG and the Creation Museum:

Farewell, Friend

My long-time friend Dr. Clifford Wilson, one of the few true biblical archaeologists, has passed away at the age of 89 in Australia. Starting in the 1970s, I spoke at conferences with him throughout Australia and in the USA. He was a prolific author, writing such books as the well-known Crash go the Chariots, which sold over a millions copies as it refuted the notorious, bestselling book, Chariots of the Gods, by Eric von Daniken. He was also a bold debater, even taking on von Daniken in a major public debate where he explained that extraterrestrials did not leave their mark on ancient civilizations. He outlived two wives—Avis (54 years together) and Barbara (12 years together; she died two years ago). He had four children and 13 grandchildren, and he was a great-grandfather to 23 children.

Here is a photo of Cliff with wife Barbara:

I remember traveling many miles together in Australia as we would go from town after town—with a vehicle laden with books and our equipment. We spoke together many times in numerous towns across the Australian continent.

A World War II veteran, Cliff (as he was known) was at one time the director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology. He was an editor of the magazine, Bible and Spade. Cliff was also senior lecturer at Monash University in Australia. He hosted the ABR radio program on archaeology, The Stones Cry Out, for several years, and he appeared many times on the ICR radio program, Science, Scripture and Salvation. Mark Looy of our staff often interviewed him in the 70s and 80s for Science, Scripture and Salvation. Mark told me that Cliff’s use of archaeology to confirm biblical events really helped build Mark up in the faith. When AiG was brand-new as a ministry in 1994, Mark worked again with Cliff. Cliff graciously spoke at some events for us in California and Arizona so that our name could get out there and we could sign up people for our newsletter. He wrote a chapter on the topic of archaeology and the Bible for what has now become the most popular creation-apologetics book in the world—The New Answers Book.

Here is the million-seller book that helped make Dr. Wilson rather well known:

I recall that Cliff was not a believer in a 6,000-year-old earth in his early days of practicing archaeology, but his confidence in the full authority of the Bible—including how archaeology confirmed so many events in the Old Testament—made him re-think his views on the earth’s age. Of all the interests he had and degrees received (he had a PhD in linguistics), this remarkable man’s favorite field of study was indeed archaeology. Many times while traveling together he told me he was totally convinced of six literal creation days and a young earth.

Please pray for the grieving family he leaves behind.

Drowning Atheists?

Recently, a post on the Atheistic Thoughts blog included a comment about me that is both blatantly untrue and highly defamatory. The author wrote the following:

For those who don’t know, Ken Ham has made comments that atheists should have rocks tied around their necks and be drowned.

Incredible! Well, here is some background to this wild accusation.

On March 21, I posted on Facebook about the atheist “Rally for Reason” in Washington, DC, which was offering programs for children during the rally. In regard to these atheists teaching children that there is no God, I quoted Christ’s words in Mark 9:42: “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.”

In this article posted on the LEO news blog, Fat Lip, Joe Sonka accused me of advocating that atheists be drowned, based on my quotation of this verse in Mark.

Now, this is not the first time I have quoted Christ’s words about those who cause children to stumble. In a 2009 article on the Answers in Genesis website, I quoted Matthew 18:6, which says basically the same thing as Mark 9:42, in regard to those who teach young children that there is no God.

If these atheists were to consider the context of these two verses, they would realize that I was not certainly advocating that atheists be drowned. Rather, I was indicating that those who teach our children that there is no God will be held accountable for it by God, and their punishment will be severe beyond this world. But here’s the key: these verses indicate that a fate of drowning would be better than experiencing that coming judgment.

John Gill, a theologian who lived in the 1700s, wrote about these verses. On Matthew 18:6, Gill writes, “Our Lord’s sense is, that it was much better for a man to endure the severest temporal punishment, rather than by offending, and evil treating any of his disciples, expose himself to everlasting destruction. The phrase of having a mill stone about the neck, I find, is sometimes used to denote anything very troublesome and burdensome.”

And on Mark 9:42, Gill writes, “Christ’s sense is, that such who give offence to any of his ministers or people, how mean soever they may appear, shall undergo the severest punishment.”

Now, the atheists’ accusation against us is obviously a ridiculous one. As we have seen many times, they certainly have no qualms about lying—after all, they hold to no absolute standards in a meaningless and purposeless universe. Of course, they are mainly performing in front of their own audience of fellow atheists. As you know, the “personal attack” strategy is pretty common for those who cannot defend their position.

Here are some final thoughts here about how secularists often attempt to denigrate the Bible—as well as the Christians who believe the Bible is the Word of God. Frequently, atheists wrongly apply what’s called a “wooden literalism” to the Bible, yet they don’t adhere to the same standard with their everyday language. For instance, an atheist (or anyone for that matter) might figuratively say, “It’s raining cats and dogs.” Now, we know it doesn’t mean that cats and dogs are literally falling from the sky; we know exactly what the phrase means. Also, we all use the words “sunrise” and “sunset” (even a newspaper will list the times of sunrise and sunset), but we know what those terms mean (from our visual perspective, the sun seems to rise and set). Yet when atheist mockers read the biblical description about the sun stopping in the sky (and from Joshua’s perspective, that is what happened), then they falsely accuse the Bible of being scientifically wrong.

The Bible often uses every-day language (“colloquial” terms), and it is important to understand the type of language being used. I.e., if it’s poetry, allegory, or apocalyptic language, or if it’s literal historical narrative. It’s obvious from the context in a passage when something is to be taken as an allegory or poetry in the Bible. For instance, when Hannah prayed, she mentioned the “pillars” of the earth, but in this prayer, she was talking about spiritual pillars, not real physical pillars that hold up the earth. Also, when Jesus said, “I am the door” or that He is “the shepherd” and “we are all like sheep,” we know exactly what these biblical statements mean from the passage’s context. It doesn’t mean that people are really like the sheep we see on farms today. Similarly, with the statements from Matthew 18 and Mark 9 about the millstone around one’s neck, they are warnings to people about how tragic it is for someone to lead a child astray—that future judgment by God will be severe on anyone who leads a child away from the Lord.

This is a reminder to pray for these very lost people and also to be reminded of their lying tactics. Also, it’s a reminder that they will not hesitate to lie in order to defame someone because of their intolerance of those who are Christians.

New Star at the Creation Museum

Here is the text of a news release we distributed to the media nationwide yesterday:

NEW ‘STAR’ AT THE CREATION MUSEUM

Museum Unveils Well-Equipped Observatory

As the Creation Museum approaches its 5th anniversary in May, the museum’s latest high-tech addition was dedicated Friday evening, with guests travelling from as far away as Arizona to attend the special ceremony. The new Johnson Observatory, located on the museum’s grounds in Petersburg, Ky. (near Cincinnati), contains several telescopes, including two permanently mounted16-inch reflector telescopes, which are relatively high power. One of them is of historic value, the Johnsonian Telescope; accordingly, the new observatory is named after the telescope’s inventor, Lyle Johnson.

“Because our planetarium programs inside our museum have attracted over one-million guests since opening in 2007, having an observatory with excellent telescopes is a wonderful addition that will enhance the museum experience for our visitors,” declared Ken Ham, president/CEO of the Creation Museum and the museum’s parent ministry, Answers in Genesis. “We will be able to extend our museum operating hours with some specially scheduled evening programs so that people can peer into the heavens. They will observe the rings of Saturn so clearly and the Moon up close, plus see many other fascinating features of our incredibly designed universe. Indeed, as the Psalmist proclaimed: the heavens declare God’s handiwork” (Psalm 19:1).

The famed Johnsonian telescope now resides in the new Johnson Observatory at the Creation Museum.

The Johnsonian telescope has great historic significance.  Lyle Johnson, who was a Christian and creationist, designed and built this telescope in the 1940s.  The telescope was a part of NASA’s “Project Moon-blink” (1964–1966), and was used to check for hazardous gases on the Moon’s surface before any astronauts would be allowed to make a lunar landing. Johnson’s invention was so innovative that telescopes based on his design are known today as “Johnsonian telescopes.”

Cutting the ribbon at Friday’s observatory dedication was Barbara Johnson Perry, daughter of Lyle Johnson.About 130 people attended the ceremony .Prior to its installation in a specially constructed building with a retractable roof, the Johnsonian telescope was used at a Christian camp, “The Wilds,” in North Carolina. Not having the qualified astronomers to use and maintain the telescope, the camp, with the permission of the Johnson family (Mr. Johnson passed away in 1996), offered it to the Creation Museum.

Lyle Johnson’s daughter Barbara Johnson Perry cut the ribbon at the Johnson Observatory’s dedication on Friday evening, with (l-r): Ken Ham (museum/AiG president), Dr. Danny Faulkner (newly appointed director of the AiG observatory and planetarium), and Dr. Andrew Snelling (director of research for AiG). A part of the Johnsonian Telescope is visible through the doors.

It had been suggested to “The Wilds” that the telescope be donated to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. Johnson family members, however, indicated that they much preferred to have their valuable telescope sent to a facility that proclaimed the Creator God of the Universe, and not the evolutionary “big bang.”         Ham stated: “We look forward to continuing the legacy of Lyle Johnson by using his telescope to tell others about God’s glory and His gospel message.”

Other telescopes will be used as part of the Creation Museum’s “Stargazer’s” programs to teach astronomy from a biblical perspective. The special day and evening events at the planetarium and new Johnson Observatory will be listed at: http://creationmuseum.org/events/.

In related news, AiG is announcing the appointment of its new astronomer, Dr. Danny Faulkner. Faulkner will oversee the planetarium and new Johnson Observatory. He will be leaving the University of South Carolina later this year, where he is currently a professor and head of the Division of Math, Science, Nursing & Public Health at USC’s Lancaster campus.

By the way, I want to thank retiring State Senator Jack Westwood and his wife Kelley for attending the observatory dedication and dinner Friday evening. He represents constituents in a large chunk of northern Kentucky—his retirement will come early next year.

The day before our observatory dedication, Sen. Westwood was honored by the Senate president for his 16 years of service to the state. It was something of a bittersweet compliment (but more on the “sweet” side) as the president of the Senate described Sen. Westwood as  “probably the least political person I’ve ever seen serve.”

On one hand it’s a pity that a politician is being highly praised for not being a politician, but on the other, I guess it’s high praise for a man who is known for standing for his principles and is not ashamed to be known as a Bible-believing Christian. A legislative colleague was also quoted as saying that even in tough times Sen. Westwood “was truly at peace with himself and the Lord.”

See the full news article about our friend Sen. Westwood (I think you will find the piece quite inspiring) at this link.

Protecting the Message of the Gospel

The first part of this blog post is a report from AiG researcher Steve Golden. He attended a conference in Kentucky recently and I thought it would be good to share the report he sent to me.

The “Together for the Gospel” conference—held in Louisville, Kentucky, last week—tackled the theme of “The Underestimated Gospel.” The speakers included Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Ligon Duncan, David Platt, Kevin DeYoung, John Piper, and many other Christian leaders. While many issues were discussed and the heart of the gospel message was defended, a few key statements resonated with me personally, particularly regarding young-earth creationism.

I cannot speak for each man’s positions on Genesis, although I know some of them deny the historical aspects of Genesis and others affirm it. What struck me about their positions on Scripture was their conviction that if one part of Scripture is considered untrustworthy then the very heart of the gospel message is affected.

During a panel on complementarianism, Pastor Greg Gilbert made the statement that if “corrosive principles” infect our reading of Scripture in one area, those corrosive principles will begin to infect our reading of Scripture in many other areas—eventually infecting the gospel message itself.

Even though Pastor Gilbert was not speaking directly to the issue of a literal Genesis, is that not the same principle we should apply to our reading of the creation account? If corrosive ideas such as millions of years or molecules-to-man evolution infect our reading of Genesis and we essentially deny the trustworthiness of the first words of Scripture, then won’t our reading of the rest of Scripture be adversely affected as a result? For example, if we assume Genesis is not meant to be taken literally, then we have to somehow reinterpret the Apostle Paul’s words on Adam because Paul clearly believes he was a real person (1 Corinthians 15:45). And if we can’t trust Genesis or some of Paul’s words, can we trust Paul’s presentation of the gospel? These are the effects of corrosive interpretive principles.

Al Mohler, in a panel session on the inerrancy of Scripture, offered a well-articulated defense of the trustworthiness of the entire Bible (as he did at AiG’s pastors’ conference at the Creation Museum last October). His key point was that “heresy precedes orthodoxy,” meaning that Christians do not feel the need to lay down affirmations and denials until something heretical infiltrates doctrinal teachings. And Mohler’s idea applies to Genesis as well as to any part of Scripture. Answers in Genesis exists because a false teaching—namely, the idea that old-earth evolutionary beliefs can be squared with Scripture—has infiltrated the church. We want to equip the church to view the Bible—the Word of the One who did the creating—as the ultimate authority, and therefore to honor the Genesis account of creation as the true account of our origin.

Dr. Mohler even tackled the issue of Genesis 1–11, saying that some of the most lamentable arguments against the trustworthiness of Scripture surround these first eleven chapters of the Bible. He used Peter Enns’ beliefs as an example of where a denial of biblical authority takes us. Enns does not believe in a literal Genesis, and so he argues that Paul was simply wrong about Adam and Eve, despite Paul’s clear belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Enns’ views do not simply hurt one isolated area of Scripture—the logical conclusion is that if Paul was simply wrong about Adam and Eve, he could simply be wrong about Christ. And so could all the other Apostles. We can see once again the effects of corrosive principles in reading Scripture.

I am grateful to Dr. Mohler for his stand on Genesis 1–11, particularly at a conference where there undoubtedly was disagreement on the historical aspects of the Genesis creation account. To sum up Dr. Mohler’s statements, if we accept that God is truth, we must accept that His Word is truth. I pray that those in attendance and those men of God who spoke are challenged to rethink their views on Genesis so that they honor Scripture as the ultimate authority and protect the very message of the gospel. Christ died to save sinners, and through His death and Resurrection we have a free gift of salvation that comes through faith in Christ alone. We can trust the truth of the gospel because we can trust the truth of all Scripture.

News From the Olympics

AiG's Dr. David Crandall spent last week in London, England in preparation for the AiG Olympic Team outreach for early August. He met with English Christians who are very excited about AiG coming to help them witness during their Games. Several Londoners will be joining our group on the streets for literature distribution and witnessing this summer.

Our local chairman pastors a church within a 15-minute walk of the Olympic complex and has excellent contacts within the Olympic community. At one point, this man was even given the opportunity to meet the Queen of England on a tour. His contacts are opening doors for our ministry in an amazing way.

There are just a few spots open for you to join the AiG Olympic Team in London. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a missionary to the world as people from dozens of countries come to London—or for you to encourage someone from your family or your church to go.

Our Olympic booklets have been translated in eight different languages.

Call Stefanie today at (859) 250-6109 or email her at scannon@answersingenesis.org and get details so you can join this great evangelistic effort in London, England.

Coffee and Ice Cream

AiG's new coffee and ice cream shop opened this week at the Creation Museum. Guests can now obtain specialty coffees and buy Bruster's ice cream and other treats!

Here is a photo of Noah's Coffee and Bruster's ice cream counter outside Noah's Café.

This is a close-up photo of the new stores.

The ice cream treats are delicious.

My favorite ice cream is popular.

It's not Starbucks—but it's just as good in my opinion!

Make sure you visit the Creation Museum where you experience spiritual and culinary delights!

Adam and Eve—They Were Real People!

This week, AiG sent out the following news release about the latest edition of our popular and spectacular Answers magazine:

Answers Magazine and Adam and Eve— Theological debate intensifies about the first couple's historicity

Evolutionists often call early humans "cavemen," including what they describe as "primitive" people who lived in caves during the Ice Age. Increasingly, even some theologians are beginning to question whether or not the first humans, Adam and Eve, were real people, and argue instead that primitive cavemen are our actual ancestors.

In the just-released issue of the award-winning Answers magazine (a growing print and digital magazine produced by Answers in Genesis), various apologetics writers help unravel the mysteries of "cavemen" in a major feature section. It answers questions like: were they our primitive brutish ancestors?; did Adam and Eve really exist?

The Answers writers also help to counter the image depicted last year on the cover of the influential magazine Christianity Today, which featured a half-man/half-ape creature. CT explored whether there ever was a historical Adam. Many Bible scholars who have been influenced by evolutionary beliefs were cited by CT as doubting Adam's historicity. For Answers magazine, the man on the cover is depicted with human features, including soulful, intelligent eyes.

Early humans are commonly classified as "cavemen." They break down into several groups, scattered throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Dale Mason, publisher of Answers, stated that to call them "cavemen" is "somewhat misleading. Many of these humans simply found temporary shelter or buried their dead in caves, as archaeology reveals."

Mason adds: "Nevertheless, the term caveman is often used as a catch-all for people who lived in an earlier era in human history—the Ice Age. Even some Christian theologians are arguing that cavemen were on the evolutionary line between ape-like ancestors and modern humans. Sadly, when early humans are depicted as animal-like primitives, the term 'caveman' carries some baggage: that they were less than human."

In the new issue of Answers magazine, many authors (including those with PhD credentials) explore the often misunderstood and confusing topic of "cavemen." But they write about the subject at an easy-to-understand level. Dr. David Menton of AiG (PhD, biology, Brown University) observes: "All people, including so-called 'cavemen,' descended from Adam, through Noah's family. They were very human, Homo sapiens, and thus were also in need of God's grace."

Dr. Menton continued: "According to the Bible in Genesis 4, the first humans made tools and musical instruments, and built cities. Ancient people were not primitives. Also, there are people today who live in caves, even in modern countries, but we don't consider them less than human."

Last year the June issue of Christianity Today spent several pages exploring the topic of whether or not the biblical Adam was an historical person. The brutish-looking caveman on the CT cover, plus many of the Bible scholars quoted in the issue, showed readers that there is general disbelief in the historicity of Adam among theologians.

In 2011, the Evangelical Press Association (EPA) honored Answers magazine with its General Award of Excellence, as selected from Christian periodicals. AiG, which began publishing the magazine only six years ago, was also commended in other categories related to the quality of writing and artwork included in Answers magazine.

You can subscribe to Answers magazine in either print or digital edition.

Reaching into Cuba

During a three-week period earlier this year, Rich Aguilera of Michigan—a ministry friend who operates an apologetics group called "One Mustard Seed"—had the opportunity to organize an outreach to teach people in Cuba on the topic of creation and biblical authority. As many of you know, it can be difficult and complicated to minister to Cubans—filling out the necessary paperwork, then spending many months in fundraising, etc. Rich, who speaks fluent Spanish, had to get a ministerial license that allowed him to speak inside designated churches. He also obtained permission from the U.S. State Department to do this work.

Rich's primary focus in Cuba was on reaching young people. Once there, he traveled—he told me—about 2,000 miles from one tip of the island to the other (it's a much bigger country than most people might think). He took his "LIVE! and Muddy" interactive creation programs to 12 cities—reaching many thousands of people.

Here is what Rich shared with me upon returning to the USA:

Prior to arriving at each Cuban city, I had sent each church several videos, games, study guides, prizes, and many support materials so that [every] church could host 6 consecutive nights of creation events – which would all be used prior to my arriving on the seventh day for the closing event. In total, about 80 events were organized and we presented to over 5,000 kids, teens, and adults across the country.

I brought certificates and prizes for each child who attended. Hundreds came forward during the "appeals" each night. The interactive events appealed to all ages and all the senses. The presentations included a giant screen, many real fossils, a smoke machine, a snow flake machine, squirting water, and even hundreds of 3D glasses which I brought for a special 3D nature presentation [see photo].

The people had never worn a pair of 3D glasses before. Even the adults were amazed as they tried to reach out and touch the images on the screen! At the end of every presentation, kids would rush forward to meet me, and also present letters of gratitude from a week of learning about creation. One letter from a 9-year old girl from the city of Holguin read:

"I want to thank you for the work you did, and I want you to know that because of your work, my neighbor friend I brought discovered that God is our Creator." [translated from Spanish] Many other letters like these were written by the hundreds of kids that attended every night.

AiG wanted to support this work, too, so we donated several sets of our Spanish-language Answers in Genesis DVDs for the people in Cuba to copy and distribute freely.

When he returned, Rich told us,"Video piracy is rampant in Cuba, but since AiG gave Cubans permission to copy and distribute the DVDs there, they were excited. We can be sure that Ken's wonderful messages on those DVDs will spread to every corner of Cuba!"

I have blogged before that Rich presents "LIVE! and Muddy" events to audiences around America and the world, in English, Spanish and French. His ministry has taken him to 52 countries. Because he looks back on the recent outreach to Cuba as a success, he is in the process of organizing similar events in Latin America.

On Thursday, Rich heads off to do eight events in Puerto Rico. He will be away for 10 days.

He Is Risen

An AiG supporter provided each AiG staff member with a white cross, which we placed in our garden at the front of our house:

Then, on what we call "Resurrection Sunday" (today), we turned the cross around so we see the words "He is risen."

Now when people look at our garden, they see this:

We all need to be reminded about the most important message of all (which we proclaim inside the Creation Museum)—that Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose again to pay the penalty for our sin, and offers a free gift of salvation.

I would encourage you to read these two articles from the AiG website that were posted especially for this Easter time:

The Crucifixion
What Does Christ's Resurrection Mean for Us?

Crowds at the Creation Museum

Yesterday, upwards of 2,000 people visited the Creation Museum. It has been a busy week as people from all across the USA and other countries have come to this unique world-class facility. I met people from Brazil, Canada, Australia, and Europe. We even had a Brazilian film producer with three crew members here for the past few days. They represented a TV program in Brazil.

I thought it would be good to show you some recent photographs of the Creation Museum and grounds.

It was gridlocked for just a short while yesterday as the crowds arrived at opening time, but our professional staff had things running smoothly and quickly so guests would enjoy their time.

Our Guest Services staff work hard to get the daily schedule of events ready for the visitors.

I gave a presentation on the "Relevance of Genesis" to hundreds of the visitors in our new Legacy Hall.

I met these two people from Pennsylvania with a youth group that was visiting. They made their own T-shirts for the entire group and their visit to the Creation Museum.

The spectacular meteorite collection is very popular.

Visitors just love the Creation Museum grounds, the gardens, and the wildlife.

Join the crowds and visit the the Creation Museum. Go to the Creation Museum website and find out about special programs, workshops, presentations, etc. that are offered at various times.
