New Herptile Habitat Opens at the Ark Encounter

We have some new faces at the Ark Encounter���s Ararat Ridge Zoo! We just opened a new South American herptile (amphibian and reptile) habitat, located across from our popular sloth habitat. You���ll love meeting two South American giants: Chewlius Caesar the northern caiman lizard and Wrangler the green anaconda.

Now, they���re not quite giants yet. Chewlius is only a year old, and Wrangler is about seven months old. But Chewlius may grow up to 4 feet long, and Wrangler may grow up to 10 feet l...

The Gospel���Shared at NASA!

Earlier this month I wrote a blog about the launch of the Starliner to the International Space Station because the captain of the historic voyage is a big friend of Answers in Genesis���Captain Barry ���Butch��� Wilmore. Well, I wanted to share two more videos from Captain Wilmore with you.

This first video is a short clip from the Starliner, showing Captain Wilmore shining a light out the window of the capsule. Oh, and you can tell the earth is not flat!

And I thought you���d also enjoy this vid...

Does a New Gospel Fragment Detail Jesus��� Childhood?

You may have seen the headlines������Details about Jesus���s childhood revealed in 2,000-year-old manuscript.��� According to reports, this manuscript (a copy of an already established writing) details Jesus performing miracles as a child, such as ���when the five-year-old Messiah is said to have turned clay pigeons into live birds��� to avoid getting in trouble for working on the Sabbath. How should Christians think about this find?

Well, this text is not biblical���it was written several decad...

A Little Life Saved Through Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Tomorrow marks the two-year anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, the historic SCOTUS case that overturned the bloodstained Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, handing the decision regarding the legality of abortion back to the states. While this certainly didn���t end abortion in America (many states���but not all���have ensured it continues), it has saved lives, and it corrected an evil ruling. And for this we rejoice! And I thought it made the perfect opportunity to share a tear-jerking st...

Bringing the Bible to Life: The Modern Methods of Answers in Genesis

Martyn wanted to share the following with our readers in this month���s update:

Answers in Genesis delivers content to people in ways that are impactful and transformative. That means we must choose the content that can actually change people���s hearts and minds and ensure we are delivering it to them in all the ways they commonly consume information.

The content in question ultimately does not change. It is the Word of God. That said, it is possible for the culture to change in such a way that ...

���Plants of the Bible��� Arrive at Creation Museum Conservatory, Kentucky���s Largest

They���ve arrived!

At the Creation Museum, we���re building a complex of four glass greenhouses and a courtyard that will house a special collection of plants of the Bible. It will be a self-guided walkthrough, finishing at a plant with many thorns that could have been the variety used to construct the crown of thorns placed on Jesus��� head during the trial preceding his crucifixion. This plant will be featured as part of a special presentation of the gospel as a climax of the tour.

There will a...

���We Cannot Judge��� Mayans Who Sacrificed 100 Young Boys

Satan has always attacked children���he hates the ���seed of the woman��� and has always sought to steal, kill, and destroy the most vulnerable. He hates the family. And yet another example of that was highlighted in a recent study of 64 of the over 100 skeletons of sacrificial victims who were buried in an underground chamber in the Mayan city of Chich��n Itz��, located on Mexico���s Yucat��n Peninsula.

These skeletons were of all boys, generally between the ages of three and six years old. Man...

���A Taste of Heaven���: Review of the Ark Encounter

Every day, thousands of individuals and families pour into the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum���the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world. Many people leave 5-star reviews on our attractions pages, but others will write me to tell about their experience. I thought I���d share part of one of those letters with you, and I especially want you to note the wonderful things this guest said about our amazing staff.

Dear Mr. Ham,

Recently I returned from a visit to the Ark Encounter.

Pride: Celebrating Sin

We hear the word ���pride��� a lot these days, particularly in reference to the LGBTQ worldview. But what is interesting is that ���pride��� is used many times in Scripture, but in almost all these instances, it is condemned because it relates to the sin nature of man. For example, Jesus said,

What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, sla...

Baby for Sale: Moms May Be Allowed to Sell Babies for ���Parentage Equality���

It���s impossible to stress enough how much the abandoning of biblical authority���and thus the absolute morality of the Christian worldview���has impacted our society, hurting the most vulnerable (women and children). And a new bill that unanimously (keep that in mind���unanimously) passed the Massachusetts house just highlights another layer of the brokenness that comes from leaving behind God���s design for marriage, gender, and sexuality.

Consider this headline: ���Mass. House unanimously ap...
