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...

Black Stone Seal Confirms Biblical Record

Yet another find confirms exactly what we���d expect starting with God���s Word. This particular find comes from the City of David National Park in Jerusalem where excavations near the southern wall of the temple mount uncovered a beautifully carved black stone seal believed to be about 2,700 years old and featuring ���a winged figure with one arm raised forward with an open palm.���

Our archaeologist Corey East, who serves in our programs department, had this to say about the find:

A black stone ...

Another Outstanding Movie from the Kendrick Brothers: The Forge

I urge everyone to go and see the new movie, The Forge, now playing in US theaters. This is another outstanding production from the filmmaking duo, the Kendrick brothers���makers of War Room, Courageous, and Overcomer.

Mally and I saw The Forge last week, and it really is a powerful Christian film about mentoring and discipleship���with the vital message that we need more godly men! This is a drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat and will impact you spiritually. Yes, it is a must-see...
