Getting "To the Point"

The world's media often contact us to comment on the intersection of "religion and science." Last week, we had a Japanese film crew here at the Creation Museum to produce a travelogue of places to visit in America. The week before it was a Canadian documentary crew—this month marks the 150th anniversary of Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and this nationwide TV program will air in Canada

later this month.

On Friday, Dr. Terry Mortenson participated in a national U.S. interview program...

WWII Bomber Pilot Visits

At the end of a recent Thursday at the Creation Museum, and right after the conclusion of three days of board meetings, I found it nice to take a breather and meet some of our guests visiting that day. That included Harry and Lola Fike of Davenport, Iowa. They have been to the museum four times now. Their son, a PhD chemist in Michigan, is also an AiG supporter.

Harry has a remarkable story. During World War II, he flew two dozen missions over various parts of Europe. He told us that he was...

Who Is Really Conducting the "Child Abuse"?

We have noticed in recent times, secularists increasingly using the term child abuse as an accusation against Christians teaching their children the Bible, creation, and so on.  Famous atheist/evolutionist Richard Dawkins uses that term, and so do others of the "new atheists."  Obviously, one of their ploys is that 'if you throw enough mud, after a while some of it will stick."  These people also accuse AiG of child abuse.  I have numerous quotes of these secularists accusing us of such...

Fond Farewell

This week we said good-bye to one of our dear staff, Donna. She is retiring and moving to Arizona to be near family and friends; before doing so, she will be visiting parts of America and then volunteer for a few weeks at the fine ministry of Voice of the Martyrs in Oklahoma. See www.vom.org

Donna, who worked in our correspondence department (using her science background, which she also used as a naturalist with the U.S. government on Johnston Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean), said g...

Creation Museum Wins Tourism Awards

The Creation Museum received four awards—including Best of Show honors—at the Kentucky Tourism Council's 2009 Traverse Awards for Excellence in Tourism Marketing held in Louisville, Kentucky, earlier this week.

The museum took Best of Show honors out of over 200 entries for our billboard campaign designed by Joseph David Advertising. Television ads featuring our planetarium and Noah's Ark exhibits were awarded first place, and the Souvenir Guide received first place in the Visitor's Guide...

Saved at the Museum

Testimonies like the following are what the Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis ministry are all about:

I wanted to write and let you know that last Saturday we visited the Creation Museum. It was a wonderful experience. We knew that it would be good, but it was even better than we expected.

We were traveling from New York back to Little Rock and came through Cincinnati just to see the Creation Museum. We had a group of high school juniors and seniors with us, and we were on a tight...

Our New "Volunteer Coordinators" . . . Are Volunteers!

It's a remarkable story: a retired surgeon and his wife move from Pennsylvania to our area to become volunteers at Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum.

Long-time supporters Dr. Steve and Ruth Carter have been "creationist evangelists" for many years in southern Pennsylvania, where Dr. Carter gave many creation talks—especially for young people. They both saw the power of the creation/gospel message to change hearts and minds (one of our ministry's best friends became an on-fire...

Encouragement

On the Internet we often see negative comments secularists (and even some Christians) make about Answers in Genesis and our Creation Museum. So, I thought it would be good to encourage us all to read some of the statements left on our Facebook site last week:

"Thanks to you and all those at AiG for your invaluable work. God has used you more than you know.""God bless you for all of the work you have done around the world. We are especially grateful for the Creation museum . . . that we had...

Already Gone Impact Is Growing

The impact of the research in our book Already Gone as to why so many young people are leaving the church continues to grow. Here are just two feedback items we received this past week:

I just wanted to send a note of encouragement to your ministry. My husband and I attend [a church in:] Michigan. Today our Executive Pastor highly recommended your new book, Already Gone, during the Sunday sermon. We are doing a fall sermon series on mentoring the next generations, and today our pastor...

Did Evolution Help Get President Obama Elected?

Well, a recent news report states:

Why did Barack Obama win the US election and did the fact he is over six feet tall influence the voters? The authors of a paper published in Current Biology this month argue that due to 'a hangover from our evolutionary past' factors like age, sex, height and weight play a major part in the determining our choice of leaders.

You can read the entire report at: http://www.physorg.com/news175360092.html

However, the Bible makes it clear that God raises up kings...
