Evolutionists—Capturing the Hearts and Minds of Children

One of the people in the group of almost 300 atheists/agnostics who visited the Creation Museum a few months ago wrote this on his blog:

It is in the minds and hearts of our children that the battle will be fought . . . .

Secular humanists understand that if you can brainwash children from an early age in evolution and an anti-Christian philosophy, they will capture their hearts and minds. Sadly, they are being very successful at this. As we have shown in the book Already Gone—based on...

Christmas at the Creation Museum

Here is the basic text of a news release we sent out this past week to the media—that has something of a little "radical" twist:

With a Live Nativity, Dramatic Actors, Holiday Musicals and a First-Century Bethlehem Village

Once again commemorating Christmas as the fulfillment of God's plan beginning with Creation in the book of Genesis, the Creation Museum will celebrate the holiday by transporting visitors back to first-century Bethlehem, to experience the birth of the Christ child, while...

The Miracle Baby!

Terry was an agnostic (but really more like an atheist), living in my homeland of Australia.  His marriage was falling apart.  He was a friend of my brother Stephen.  Stephen used a "creation evangelism" approach to construct a course to teach Terry concerning the basic doctrines of Christianity—at the same time answering the secular accusations of the day against the Bible.  Terry became an onfire Christian.  His wife also became a Christian.  Their marriage was restored, and Terry and his w...

Compromising Christian Professor Receives Accolades from Secular World

Davis A. Young is Professor of Geology Emeritus at Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dr. Young taught for many years at Calvin College (a well-known "Christian" college—but sadly one that undermines the authority of Scripture to generations of students as they are taught to believe in millions of years/evolution, etc).

Recently, Davis Young was given the 2009 Mary C. Rabbit Award by the History of Geology Division of the Geological Society of America. (The list of past winners is very...

Letter Wars

The Sunday article that appeared in our local newspaper (the Cincinnati Enquirer)—in which an atheist was quoted as saying that our Creation Museum promotes "child abuse" and even "terrorism" (see my previous blog post on this)—led to many letters to the editor. Here is one sample—written by long-time museum backers (and members), the Moran family—that appeared in the print edition of Wednesday's Enquirer:

Regarding the article "'Sinners' gather at atheist meeting" (Nov. 22): The speaker at...

New DVD on Genetics

First of all, to all Americans reading this—HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I trust you all have a blessed time with family and friends.

Our own Dr. Georgia Purdom briefly spoke to our staff recently, and she showed us a clip from her new DVD on genetics. In the photo here, you see a "still" of her from that new video.

It's a semi-technical talk entitled Genetics, Evolution, and Creation: Most Asked Questions. Dr. Purdom has a PhD in molecular genetics, so she knows what she's talking about! Keep...

Famed Musician at Museum

Over the weekend our Creation Museum guests were treated to a wonderful concert by Benny Prasad from Bangalore, India. I met Benny a few months ago when I spoke at a conference in New Jersey for pastors (and other Christian leaders) originally from India—who are now here in America to minister to Indian people living all across the U.S.

In this photo taken inside the museum's theater, you can see a guitar that is Benny's own invention. Notice that he has two bongo drums placed on it. He has...

A Judge's Judgment

Here is an email from our friend in Louisiana, the retired judge Darrell White. Judge White is a Creation Museum "lifetime member" and is founder and president of the Retired Judges of America. He helped Dr. Terry Mortenson and Steven Fazekas of our staff last week in Louisiana at a booth that AiG had set up at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS).

Here is the report Judge White filed, which we are posting a few days after the ETS meeting. You see, November 24 is...

Speaking at the Cincinnati Bengals' Bible Study

One of the more unusual speaking engagements I've had recently was the opportunity this past week to speak to the weekly Bible study of the Cincinnati Bengals professional football team. Our AiG headquarters and Creation Museum are less than 20 miles away from the stadium where the Bengals play, and because a chaplain for the team (a former professional football player himself) is such a strong booster of our ministry, I was asked to speak to several of the team members (and some spouses...

Does a Group Called "Free Inquiry" Really Want "Free Inquiry"?

Allegations of "child abuse" and "terrorism" against AiG

In a report that is appearing today in our local Enquirer newspapers (Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky editions),  an article reported on a meeting at Norwood Public Library in Ohio by a group of atheists associated with the organization called Free Inquiry Group.  The report began by quoting one of the atheists addressing the group with, "Good evening, sinners," obviously mocking Christianity.  This same atheist is also reported as...
