As Seen in Space

Remember those ads on cable TV that promote various products meant to make your life easier? They���re usually marketed in stores with a little ���as seen on TV��� sticker. Well, we can���t say that our Ark Encounter apparel was ���seen on TV������but we can say ���as seen in space!���

You see, our friend and enthusiastic supporter Captain Barry ���Butch��� Wilmore, the captain of the historical Starliner that went to the International Space Station (ISS) in June, requested certain Ark Encounter...

Is There Truth in the ���Myth��� of Genesis?

Is Genesis a record of true history, given by God, or was it written by men trying to answer the questions that plague our world? An article I saw recently makes the latter claim���that Genesis is just a compilation of etiological myths finally written down by the biblical authors.

Now, what is an ���etiological myth���? The article answers this way: ���The creation stories in Genesis served to provide answers to why the world was the way it was, such as why people wear clothes and why women exp...

��Cu��l es tu Identidad? Giving Answers About Identity at D��a Latino

What is a man? What is a woman? And why does it matter?

Many people today���especially young people���are very confused about their identity. The world tells them they are what they feel, but feelings are confusing and ever-changing and certainly don���t provide ultimate purpose or meaning. And because we are sinners, we can���t trust our feelings. But God���s Word provides the ultimate purpose, meaning, and answers we need.

And we���re giving those answers to adults, teens, and families at our u...

Old or New Testament? 11% of Protestants Don���t Know

Is the exodus from Egypt a New Testament or Old Testament event? What about the crossing of the Jordan, the healing of a man born blind, a miraculous escape from prison, or the healing of Naaman���s leprosy? It���s hard to believe, but according to a new study, 1 in 10 ���American Protestant Churchgoers��� (11%) can���t answer those sorts of questions.

The survey asked this question, ���Of all the stories found in the Old Testament of the Bible, which one is your favorite?��� (As a side note, I ...

What Christians Must Know About Kamala Harris

How will you vote this November? The election is coming up, and it���s already been an interesting election year to say the least. Everyone has opinions about who to vote for, but how should a Christian vote?

I recently briefly spoke during one of my talks at the Ark Encounter about some of the policies and positions that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, holds to and then shared how I believe Christians in this nation should vote. I encourage you to share this clip with ot...

Zoo Update: Baby Armadillo Born at the Ark

It���s time for a ���baby announcement��� from our Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark Encounter. Our zookeepers are excited because one of our animals���a member of a near-threatened species���recently gave birth at the Ark.

Remembering Buddy Davis at His Memorial Service

As we announced recently, my dear friend and ministry partner Buddy Davis went home to be with the Lord on August 7, 2024. Last week, his memorial service was held at his home church in rural Ohio, near the log cabin he and Kay lived in for so many decades. The service was videoed, and I thought that many of you who have loved and prayed for Buddy and his wife, Kay, would be touched by it.

This service features some of Buddy���s music; his favorite hymns and songs; tributes, including one from m...
