A Dinosaur Book a Creationist Can Love

Here is the press release sent out this week about our new Dinosaurs for Kids book:

New 'Dinosaurs for Kids' from Ken Ham Wows Kids and Parents Alike

PETERSBURG, Ky., Nov. 18, 2009 – While there is no lack of colorfully illustrated books about dinosaurs for children, by and large these books talk about how many millions of years ago the dinosaurs lived, and how many billions of years old the Earth is. Many creationist parents have largely been stuck supplying these books for their...

One of the Few Creationist Christian Universities

Over the last two days, I had the honor of speaking to all students and faculty at two extended chapels—and also a public evening meeting—at Northland International University in Dunbar, Wisconsin. To me it was very encouraging to be asked to speak at a Christian university that takes a stand on biblical authority, beginning in Genesis. There are so few such Christian universities in the world that uphold the book of Genesis as Answers in Genesis does. If you have never heard about...

Scholarship Opportunity

As this unique scholarship involves a book written by AiG personnel, I thought it would be good to publicize this opportunity for students:

Master Books, an imprint of New Leaf Publishing Group [and publisher of many of our books:], will award one $3000 scholarship for the 2010–2011 academic school year. The 2010 Master Books Scholarship Essay Contest is open to any high school junior or senior or the equivalent thereof from any public, private, or homeschool venue. The applicant must be a...

A University That Celebrates the Creator

Here is an item about a Christian college I will be speaking at next May: Tennessee Temple University. TTU professor Dr. Andrew Fabich, a biologist, sent this to us about a special campus event being held Thursday:

Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species on November 24, 1859. Atheists, agnostics, and skeptics are thus celebrating 150 years of its evolution teaching. In response to the 150th year of Darwin's publication, Tennessee Temple University will have a special Creation...

What the Pastor Would Not Post

On November 13, I posted a blog item with the heading "Liberal Lutheran Pastor Slams Already Gone Book and Marriage." If you haven't read this item I encourage you to do so or refresh your memory by going to this previous blog posting.

Well the pastor responded on his own blog, virtually ignoring the fact that we pointed out numerous false statements in his previous posting concerning AiG and its CEO. He admitted he was wrong about the publisher of the Already Gone book—but tried to justify ...

Award-Winning Curriculum

AiG's award-winning curriculum for homeschoolers continues to receive some extremely high marks. Over the last couple of years our curriculum team has helped to bring the already excellent work of Diana Waring (history writer) and Debbie & Richard Lawrence (science writers) to a whole new level, as we've added extensive color, new graphics, even entirely new textbooks. These, plus our just-released Answers for Preschoolers curricula, are now in use by thousands of families.

I hear "thank you" ...

Meet Tucker

I have included some photographs of a new member of the Creation Museum—his name is "Tucker," and he was a real hit yesterday with our 1800 visitors, including many children (plus our museum's operations director Dan Mangus, holding Tucker).

Very Special Talk at the Museum, on a Memorable Date—December 7

Things are not static at the Creation Museum.  Even our lecturers are constantly developing new talks for our museum attendees. Popular AiG speaker Mike Riddle is a former Marine (although he i...

First Place at Fair

Our geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling received this email from an excited AiG supporter:

Hi Doctor Snelling, I have some good . . . news. While I was doing [the AiG in-depth conference called:] "Creation College" in July, my family and I went over to see the Creation Museum. I took pictures of the gardens and the waterfalls. When I got home, I entered two pictures I took of the gardens into my county fair and one of them won first place. I attached the winning picture.

Liberal Lutheran Pastor Slams Already Gone Book and Marriage

Our new book Already Gone has already had a phenomenal impact on numerous churches across America. This book details the results of a survey conducted by America's Research Group, headed by respected market researcher and behavioralist Britt Beemer—highly respected in both the secular and Christian world.

Britt set out to find out why—and importantly when—two-thirds of our young people are eventually walking away from the church. The results were both revealing and shocking. Britt...

Atheists Can Be So Inconsistent

One of the news items from our local area this week started with the headline:

"Godless" Billboard Going Up in Cincinnati.

The item continued:

"Don't Believe In God? You are not alone." [sic:] are the words featured on the billboard on Reading Road at 12th Street, one block south of Liberty Street. It was placed there by Cin CoR, the Cincinnati Coalition of Reason.

The group says the display is part of a coordinated statewide campaign that includes similar billboards announced today in Columbus...
