It Comes Through Clearly

Well over 7000 people (including about 2200 last night on an evening when it snowed—part of the storm system that hit the East) have now visited the Live Nativity program (called Bethlehem's Blessings) during the first four of the nine days the program will be featured. You still have an opportunity to visit the Live Nativity on December 26, 28, 29, January 1 and 2 (see the Creation Museum website for details).

Here are photographs of our snow event yesterday:

New Animatronic Noah at the Creation Museum

As part of the children's interactive museum experience that we call the "knee-high museum" inside our Creation Museum, our new animatronic Noah has been installed. There is much more to be done in building a set around Noah, but that will be done in January. For now, the new Noah can be seen sitting at his desk in the Voyage Room inside our large Noah's Ark section of the museum.

There is a touch screen monitor nearby, and children can touch a question on the screen and Noah will then...

Over 1,000 Visitors—Through One Man's Outreach

We've lost track of how many dozen times Tony Hillen–a Creation Museum charter member—has visited the museum. It's not as is if he lives around the corner–Columbus, Indiana, is about a one-hour-forty-five-minute drive away. Even more impressively, he has made sure that over 1,000 people have visited since we opened over 2 1/2 years ago.

Here is what Tony wrote to us recently

Dear AiG: From November 7, 2008, thru December 2009, our ministry has helped, funded, hosted or made arrangements for...

Spectacular "BB" Christmas Program—Don't Miss It

In yesterday's blog post, I shared some photographs from AiG's Bethlehem's Blessings (live nativity program) at the Creation Museum. The third and fourth live nativity programs are this Friday and Saturday evenings (beginning at 6:00 p.m.). It is free and—I believe—highly unique in this nation. You can obtain more details from the Creation Museum website.

Here are some more photographs taken last week:

Atheist Ads and Evangelical Christians

In some ways a very amusing, but at the same time very sad, item out of England appeared on websites yesterday. Well-known atheist/anti-Christian Richard Dawkins (author of the blasphemous God Delusion book) has an ad campaign to promote indoctrinating children in atheism. The article concerning this campaign from the Times online news source from England states:

Children who front Richard Dawkins' atheist ads are evangelicals

The two children chosen to front Richard Dawkins's latest assault...

Premiere of a New Creationist Film

Over the weekend, we were honored to introduce the new film The Mysterious Islands at its Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky premiere. While I was out of town, Mark Looy, our CCO, spoke to about 1,500 people who turned out to see this excellent documentary, filmed at the Galapagos Islands where Darwin largely formed his view of evolution by natural selection.

With wonderful photography and instructive narration that exposes the bankruptcy of Darwinian evolution, this film is now carried by us as a...

A President From D.C. Visits AiG!

When we started Answers in Genesis over 15 years ago, one of the first things we did to get the creation/gospel message to people across America (besides going on the road and speaking in as many churches as possible) was to launch our Answers daily radio program. We also immediately joined the important Christian trade association, the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), which is based near Washington, D.C. (More about NRB further on.)

As I think back to when Mark Looy and I sat in front o...

A Very Special Visitor

Last week, we had a visitor to the Creation Museum who came all the way from Australia to also attend a Christian conference in our area (where I spoke Thursday evening)—many from this conference visited the Creation Museum last week.

Our special visitor, Joseph, has been blind since birth. He just loves the AiG ministry. Joseph Stephen is a programmer for the Jaws software for blind readers and actively works with ministry friend Larry Pierce and his Online Bible, a powerful Bible software...

Don't Miss an Experience of a Lifetime

We will host three Grand Canyon rafting tours in 2010, but already two have sold out many weeks ago. We still have some slots available, though, for the April 23-May 1 trip. This one is unique, as it is led by AiG's geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling and popular AiG speaker Carl Kerby. During the nine days you will raft 180 miles through the Grand Canyon, with more time than on any other trip to explore the geology of the Canyon—from a creationist perspective.  The trip starts at the level of the ...

Dino Promo

Recently AiG produced a 4- minute promotional video (well—it is really more than a promotion) on our new Dinosaurs For Kids book.

Watch a short trailer

We have already received some great feedback about this book:

You've produced a lot of good books in your time – but this one is something special. We put some out at our Christmas sale last week. My stepson was bowled over by it. It's great to have a simple framework to be able to give the kids to help them remember these things. The thing I...
