Parenting���Hazardous to Your Health?

Is parenting the new smoking? According to the surgeon general, parental stress is an ���urgent public health issue.��� This new advisory, ���Parents Under Pressure,��� prompted over-the-top headlines such as ���Surgeon general���s warning: Parenting may be hazardous to your health.��� What should Christians make of this?

Well, first we must recognize that the headlines are not really an accurate description of the advisory���it���s not parenting, per se, that is a ���public health issue.��� Rat...

The Creation Museum���s Creation Zoo Is Now Open

Come and meet the animals!

We���re thrilled that the first phase of the new zoo at the Creation Museum is complete���the Creation Zoo is now open!

Our Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Exhibit Celebrates 4 Years of Impact

In just over two months, our beautiful new conservatory featuring the plants of the Bible is scheduled to open to the public here at the Creation Museum (just in time for the beginning of our free ChristmasTown program). We���re excited for this stunning new attraction that will bring even more guests to the museum and impact them with the gospel. And that reminds me of another stunning museum exhibit���Fearfully and Wonderfully Made���which is already celebrating four years of impact!

Pope Francis: ���All Religions Are Paths to Reach God���

The answer to ���What must I do to be saved?��� has always been complicated in Catholic theology. Departing from the simplicity of the gospel, the Roman Catholic Church teaches a mix of works and grace for salvation. But apparently none of that really matters because, well, ���We���re all God���s children.���

Pope Francis was recently at a gathering of young people in Singapore where he shared,

All religions are paths to reach God. . . . They are like different languages in order to arrive at God...

Atheist YouTuber Criticizes Young-Earth Creationists: Ken Ham Responds

Our social media team recently asked me to respond to a young lady who has a YouTube channel that featured a video criticizing young-earth creationists and our (in her view) ridiculous beliefs. Now, we see many (many) such videos (there are whole channels dedicated to mocking us!) and don���t always respond, but I decided to respond to this one to point out the inconsistency in her thinking.

See if you can catch her inconsistency in the clip at the beginning of my response:

The Pilgrim���s Progress Is Coming to the Ark Encounter

I���m so excited to announce that John Bunyan���s classic tale The Pilgrim���s Progress is coming as a live dramatic performance to the Ark Encounter on select days January 3���18, 2025. This same theater company���Logos Theatre���brought C. S. Lewis��� The Horse and His Boy to the Ark this past January (and it���s coming back in November!), and it was phenomenal. I can���t wait to see The Pilgrim���s Progress. People I know who have seen it give it rave reviews! This is such a great opportunit...

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...
