Unabashed Message

It's encouraging to know that so many high-professional people are Bible-believing Christians and accept the book of Genesis as literal history. We often have PhDs and MDs touring our Creation Museum. A medical doctor from Minnesota was here last week, Dr. Mark Wheaton. Mark's brother is a good friend of ours: David Wheaton, an international tennis champion and national talk-show host of the radio program The Christian Worldview.

Before he came here with his family, Mark was concerned that it ...

Biblical Authority Interview

In our Tuesday staff meeting, Dan Zordel (VP of Branding and Product Development) interviewed my brother Steve—in front of the staff—on his new book, In God We Trust.

Dan Zordel (right) interviewed Steve Ham about his new book, In God We Trust.

Dan and Steve discussed the three different sections of the book and why they present a unique look at biblical authority. While so many books on biblical authority center on defending the truth and inspiration of Scripture, In God We Trust goes even...

The Need to Dig Wells

The title of the commencement address I gave at Tennessee Temple University recently was "The Need to Dig Wells."  It was thrilling to see a summary of my address on a blog written by the wife of a graduate.  She stated the following at http://untilthedaydawn.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/well-digging/:

. . . Ken Ham, from Answers in Genesis, was the commencement speaker this morning.  He blessed our hearts as he spoke on digging wells.  "For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in...

A Startling Upgrade at the Creation Museum

Last week, the Creation Museum's Planetarium was shut down for four days as AiG staff and other technicians worked on what really is a STARtling upgrade!  (Excuse the pun.) Here is the sign people see what they enter the  museum:

After 3 years of thousands of showings of AiG's Planetarium programs, the projectors finally reached the end of their life.  There was no option—we needed new projectors.  We praise the Lord, we were able to use a new technology that makes the Planetarium programs...

More on In God We Trust

In yesterday's blog, I mentioned the new book In God We Trust that has now arrived in our bookstore.  This book is authored by our Senior Director of Outreach, Steve Ham (my younger brother).  Throughout the years, the message at Answers in Genesis has continued to mature as we have refined our message to the most foundational biblical truths, especially  the difference between taking man's word or God's Word as the authority.

In God We Trust deals with the subject of biblical authority, but w...

In God We Trust

Yes, these words are on the US currency, but they also make up the title of a new book written by my brother Steve on biblical authority. This publication will make a great addition to the AiG resources. You can obtain further information from the AiG online bookstore.  It is a book about biblical authority, but it is unique in its approach and very powerful for the AiG ministry.

National Day of Prayer

Today (Thursday) in the USA is the National Day of Prayer. The staff of Answers in Genesis gathered earlier today for prayer, breaking into small groups at 8:30am, and then throughout the day, they will set aside 15 minutes of their work day to pray for the nation and the AiG ministry. The Creation Museum guests visiting today will also be given the opportunity to pray in a special area set aside that is away from the hustle and bustle of the museum.

Here is the prayer list we distributed to ...

Religion Professor Accuses AiG of Teaching a "False Gospel"

Dr. James F. McGrath is the associate professor of religion at Butler University (Indianapolis, Indiana ).  This university is home to the Clergy Letter Project founder,  Prof. Michael Zimmerman—an atheist who gets  pastors to sign a letter supporting evolution and organizes pastors to have a special "Evolution Sunday" in their churches. Among other courses, McGrath teaches a course on science fiction and religion, as well as religion and science.

In a recent blog, Dr. McGrath states:
