LGBTQ Stories���They Influence Children!

Why do secularists push so hard for LGBTQ-themed books in school libraries, drag queen story hours, and LGBTQ characters in children���s content? Because they know that stories influence children, and they want to capture the minds of the next generation. And a new study confirms that, yes, these stories do what they���re intended to do.

The study involved children ages 5���6 and 9���10. The kids were divided into three groups: a control group that viewed no video, a group that watched a story a...

Meet Our New Baby Wallabies

We���re very excited that the Creation Museum���s Eden Zoo renovations are nearing completion. Not only does that mean some familiar faces will soon be returning from their temporary home at the Ark Encounter, but it also means more and more new animals are arriving.

Two of the most popular new arrivals are Jane and Kitty, the Bennett���s wallaby joeys! Any guesses where their names came from? I���ll tell you at the end of the blog post!

Here���s what the zookeepers shared with me about these cut...

Construction Update: The Beams Go Up for the Jerusalem Building

Just a few days ago, we recognized the eighth anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter. In a blog post, I highlighted the massive changes that have taken place since opening���and, well, there���s more coming! Enjoy these construction update photos for the new Welcome Center and Jerusalem model building.

As you can see, this building is really taking shape. All the concrete for the foundation of the large building is complete, the Jerusalem model pits are finished, and construction teams ...

���Gender Reveals������Do They Tell Us Nothing About a Baby?

���We can���t know whether a child is a boy or a girl based on their genetics or their anatomy.��� Really?

Now, if such a statement leaves you shaking your head, you���re not alone���but that is the argument put forward by two genetic counselors in a recent article that begins by introducing gender reveal parties this way: ���Gender reveals are a testament to how society is squeezing children into one of two predetermined gender boxes before they are even born.���

Yes, you can certainly see the a...

What a Change in Eight Years!

Today, July 7, 2024, is a special day. It is the eighth anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter. Wow, eight years!

Enjoy these photos showing the massive changes that have taken place since the Ark opened.

This photograph was taken on the ribbon cutting day (July 5). Compare it with the photos of the Ark Encounter attraction today! What a difference.

Enjoy These Beautiful Ark Photos

We frequently enjoy beautiful skies���sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, and more���at the Ark Encounter themed attraction. Recently, one of the Ark Encounter culinary staff members, Kathryne, took some beautiful pictures of the Ark, and I wanted to share the photos so you can all enjoy them.

These pictures are beautiful, but to really grasp the size and stunning craftsmanship of the Ark, you need to see it for yourself! Make sure you plan to visit Northern Kentucky and the two leading Christian theme...

���The Most Basic Form of Learning���: Are Plants ���Conscious���?

The more we learn about God���s creation, the more we realize we really don���t know very much! Take, for example, an emerging field of research recently highlighted in the news���plant intelligence. Most of us don���t think of plants as possessing intellect, considering they don���t have a central nervous system. According to new research, however, plants do possess a form of ���intelligence������but can we go as far as some researchers and say they are ���conscious���?

Here���s the claim: acco...

Three Prayer Points for Independence Day

Happy Independence Day! On this quintessential American holiday, you are likely grilling out with family (shrimp on the barbie?), attending a local parade, and preparing to watch a fireworks display (or set off one of your own). But as we celebrate and contemplate the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, I thought I���d share with you some prayer points and encourage you to stop and spend time in prayer today for our nation���something we are commanded by God to do on a regular basis.

First of all, t...

���Pastor��� Claims ���Blessed Are Those Who End Pregnancies���

Two headlines recently caught my attention. Both were utterly shocking and a good reminder of Jeremiah 14:14:

And the Lord said to me: ���The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.���

The first headline featured statements from a female ���pastor��� (who previously has bragged about killing two of her children in abortions) who preac...
