Pray for This Nation Tomorrow During National Day of Prayer

Tomorrow, May 2, 2024, is National Day of Prayer here in the United States. Thousands of Christians across the nation will be taking time tomorrow, corporately or individually, to specifically pray for this nation, our leaders, and our future. At Answers in Genesis, our staff always takes time during our Thursday morning staff meeting to pray, and I encourage you to pray as well.

God���s Word is powerful, and if we want to see this nation turn back to the Lord, it will take his Word and his Spir...

Quadriplegic Man Dies via Euthanasia after Developing Bed Sores Waiting at Quebec Hospital

As I read this article on LifeSite News, I was greatly saddened to see the lack of compassion and the callous regard for human life in the Canadian health system. On March 29, Normand Meunier, a 66-year-old quadriplegic man, was euthanized at home after developing bed sores and a major pressure ulcer on his backside. The ulcer and bed sores, resulting from a lack of specialized care (and a lack of common decency) at the hospital in Saint-J��r��me, Quebec, were so severe that muscle and bone wer...

Queensland Homeschooling Changes Dropped from Education Reform Bill

Good news (to a degree) out of my native country of Australia! Vision.org.au recently reported that the Queensland Education (General Provisions) and Other Legislation Bill 2024 was recently modified after it received a serious backlash in the form of petitions with over 23,000 signatures when the conservative advocacy group CitizenGo presented its petition to the office of the State Education Minister.

At issue were several mandates, the biggest being that homeschools and/or homeschool parents ...

Expanding Truth Traveler Experiences

Early last week, a number of Answers in Genesis leadership members traveled to Pigeon Forge for the groundbreaking ceremony of a new outreach���a 5D virtual reality ride and planetarium.

A few years ago, AiG supporter and businessman Wes Bowen, who owns Mindscape Creative in Tennessee, approached us with the vision for a virtual reality experience at the Ark Encounter. As a result, we partnered with Wes to see this become a reality, and it���s been very popular.

Wes then challenged us to consider...

Beginning from the Right Foundation

���Can you please teach us how to think?���

All the challenging questions we have to grapple with today are addressed by remembering where to start: ���In the beginning, God created.��� I wanted to share with you some experiences Executive CEO Martyn Iles has had answering such questions from this month���s letter we mail to our US supporters.

A few years ago, I was helping a group of teenagers with some tutoring sessions. They would ask about everything���from English essays to science projects....

Creation Basics: Two Kinds of Science

When many people think about the creation/evolution issue, they think of a battle over evidence. But that���s the wrong way to think about it. Really, the battle is over the exact same evidence but two different interpretations because of two different starting points (foundations for one���s worldview).

Will we start with God���s Word or human wisdom?

You see, it���s not ���science vs. the Bible��� or ���science vs. faith.��� It���s man���s word (the foundation for evolution and millions of year...

Are Feathers One of Evolution���s Cleverest Inventions?

A recent article made the bold claim that feathers are one of evolution���s greatest inventions. But what proof did they offer? None, but they did provide a lot of imaginative storytelling and a clear refusal to recognize that objects showing incredible design could not have come about by random chance mutations.

Yet as the title of the article shows, they ascribe intelligence and creativity to evolution, almost like it has a mind and can preplan for any situation. One example of the design they...

Missing Head of Colossal Ramesses II Statue Discovered

I recently read an article from our friends at Patterns of Evidence who reported on the recent finding of much of the upper half of the colossal Rameses statue, (the base was originally found in 1930). The missing head, partial torso, and left arm of the limestone statue of Rameses were found at the archaeological site of El Ashmunein (Khemnu or Khomeno, as the city was called in Rameses��� time) in middle Egypt.

The Crowds Have Arrived!

I love to see thousands pouring into the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter every day. The local hotels and restaurants love it too. These two leading Christian themed attractions in the world have had a big economic impact on Northern Kentucky and a significant impact on tourism in the state of Kentucky.

But to me, the most important impact is the spiritual impact on the hearts and minds of generations of people who come from across America and around the world to visit the Ark and museum.

Nurse Can Challenge State Law for Abortion Pill Reversal Treatments, Court Rules

Finally, some good pro-life news out of Colorado! Judge Susan Prose issued an order last Monday allowing nurse practitioner Chelsea Mynyk to intervene (enter the existing lawsuit) in the case Bella Health and Wellness v. Weiser. The case concerns Bella Health and Wellness, which sued the state on religious grounds about not being able to offer anti-abortifacient pills.

On October 21, 2023, Bella Health secured a preliminary injunction (temporary suspension), preventing Colorado���s recent law th...
