Stephen Hawking and AiG Agree on Something!

Well—sort of!

The famous British physicist Stephen Hawking has written a new book. So, as part of the publicity campaign to sell copies, news items appeared around the world this week. In this new book, Hawking makes it clear that God did not use the so-called "big bang." Now, that is a statement we would agree with. God certainly didn't use the big bang; what the Bible clearly teaches in Genesis totally disagrees with it. (See what our staff astrophysicist says in this online book...

Add Your Voice to Creation Conversations

I want the ministry of Answers in Genesis to inspire meaningful, life-altering conversations about creation and our Creator.  Many of those conversations are happening right now at www.CreationConversations.com—a special website owned and operated by the leading creation book publisher in the world, Master Books.  These creation conversations involve forums, groups, expert Q&As, videos, blogs, and more.

For instance, I am encouraged by the teenage girl who wants to learn how to defend her...

Speaking at a Creationist College

One of the most-asked questions I am asked at the Creation Museum and as I travel and speak at churches and conferences is the following: "Can you recommend Christian colleges that take a stand on a literal Genesis that I can consider for my children?"

As I have said before, there really are only a handful that take a very public stand, and today, I was privileged to be the chapel speaker to 3,000 students and faculty at Cedarville University. This beautiful modern campus is located in Ohio...

The Latest on the "Ape-like" Fossil Australopithecus sediba

A few months ago, the remains of another supposed "ape-like" fossil named Australopithecus sediba received major news headlines.  There has been a lot of controversy among both evolutionists and creationists concerning these remains.  Our cutting-edge research journal, Answers Research Journal (edited by Dr. Andrew Snelling), has recently highlighted this discussion with a technical paper and responses that included an article by AiG's Dr. David Menton, and close friend of AiG, Dr. David...

Reese's Piece

Our good friend Dr. Ron Reese of Virginia saw his letter to the editor printed in the Washington Times on Friday. (He has sponsored AiG speakers in the Washington, D.C., area, and also went on one of our raft trips through the Grand Canyon earlier this year.)  Here is the link to his letter: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/aug/26/evolution-uses-lack-of-evidence-as-proof/

Ron has a PhD from prestigious M.I.T. (his doctoral thesis was on ship propulsion for a 20,000-foot-deep...

The Faithfulness of AiG Inspires Us

We praise the Lord for increasing numbers of pastors who are being influenced by AiG and the Creation Museum.

Please praise the Lord with us as you read this correspondence I received last week:

The Evangelical Church Alliance International held our 2010 International Conference in Ft. Mitchell, KY this year with the goal of promoting the Creation Museum to our pastors and their families. From the very moment I contacted the museum, to plan our conference, your staff was helpful, friendly and...

Labor Day Will Be Extra-Special at the Museum

We're holding a very special day at the Creation Museum on Labor Day, Monday, September 6. The museum will be hosting the museum's first-ever "Deaf Day." The Lord has provided 24 Christians to volunteer, including several interpreters, to serve during the event. Jon Barr, president of Silent Word Ministries (www.silentword.org), will serve as an interpreter, along with his wife Diane, in one of our theaters. Jon and Diane visited the museum earlier this month and Jon spoke in our staff...

Australians "Invading" Creation Museum

This past week, we had a few special Australian visitors at the Creation Museum.  Mally and I were thrilled to host three of our very special friends we first met 36 years ago in Queensland, Australia.  For my first teaching appointment, I was a science teacher at Dalby State High School (about 2.5 hours west of the coastal city of Brisbane).  There we first met the Jiggens family who "adopted" us as a part of their own family.  It was very exciting for us to have Buster Jiggens and his...

Is It Really a Wonderful World?

A news headline caught my eye this week that I thought would be good to use as a teaching point—and a good reminder for us.  George Weiss, who wrote the song "What a Wonderful Word," died at 89 years old.  The headline from Associated Press read, "'What a Wonderful World' songwriter Weiss dies."

What attracted my attention was the seeming contradiction: the title of the song (What a Wonderful World) and then the news that the songwriter died.  Death and beauty are in the same sentence—but...

The Answers Are Spreading

I receive many emails, letters, phone calls, and personal testimonies each day from people I meet at the Creation Museum and as I travel and speak. I am thrilled at the way the answers this ministry provides are spreading; the answers help to counter the secular attacks of the day and to equip Christians to defend the Christian faith, and the more they spread, the greater the impact.

I recently received this wonderful email below, and I believed it is important for you all to read this, as...
