Life Is Created ���According to Its Kind,��� But What Is a Kind?

What is a kind? Genesis says living things were created ���according to its kind,��� but what is a kind? Often, people are confused into thinking that a ���species��� is a ���kind.��� But this isn���t necessarily so. Species is a man-made term used in the modern classification system. And frankly, the word species is difficult to define, whether one is a creationist or not!

A plain reading of the text infers that plants and animals were created to reproduce within the boundaries of their kind.

Geneticist Fired for Saying Humans Lived 900+ Years in Pre-flood Days

���Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died��� (Genesis 5:5). The first genealogy of mankind, found in Genesis 5, traces our ancestry from the first man, Adam, to Noah (a corresponding genealogy after the flood documents the line of Noah to Abraham). What���s surprising to some people about these historical records is the ages of the men mentioned in them���well over 900 years in most cases. And apparently, believing what the Bible says about pre-flood longevity is enough t...

Identity Exhibit, Radiance, Is Coming to the Creation Museum

What is the number one question young people are wrestling with these days? Well, it���s ���Who am I?��� Questions of identity are soaring, with identity-based content on social media platforms like TikTok garnering billions of views and internet searches like ���Am I gay?��� or ���Am I trans?��� jumping each year. And we want to help young people find their true identity���an identity grounded in God���s design from creation and the gospel of Jesus Christ. That���s why we���re designing a bran...

Behind the Scenes: Winter Projects at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter

From January to mid-March, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are closed Sunday through Tuesday. This enables various teams to carry out maintenance, upgrades, etc. And I thought I���d share some of what they���re doing with you.

Here are just a few of the projects that took place at the Ark Encounter recently:

The fabrication team installed their new, custom-made shelving in the main gift store, located under the Ark.The facilities team worked on resurfacing the floor around the ground floor ...

Are Doctors Rushing ���Trans Care���? Gender Scientist Thinks So

The current model for transgender ���care��� (I use that term loosely!) in most hospitals and gender clinics is an immediate affirmation of the person���s feelings (which are subjective and can���t be trusted because we have a sinful nature) and a complete social transition (new name, pronouns, etc.), quickly followed by hormones or puberty blockers. Now, you may think this sounds extreme and as if providers are rushing into ���treatment��� without considering other variables. Well, the foundin...

A Pocket New Testament Sharing the Gospel the Way God Does

Whenever I speak on evangelism, I urge people to share the gospel the way God does���beginning in Genesis with the history in Genesis 1���11! You see, if someone doesn���t understand the bad news of our sin and the penalty of death, as outlined in Genesis 1���3, they can���t understand the gospel message of Jesus��� death in our place and his resurrection from the dead.

Such an approach divorces the New Testament from any of its historical context and from the biblical timeline, which, of course...

Countering Woke Culture with Biblical Truth

How can you make your families and churches ���woke-proof���? Wokeness, and everything that stems from this philosophy, is incredibly destructive to people, to families, and to communities. But there���s a simple solution���and it starts in Genesis! For today���s blog post, enjoy this insightful letter from our Executive CEO Martyn Iles:

The person who understands and believes Genesis 1���11 is woke-proof.

Such is the enduring relevance of Genesis. It has the blueprints every generation needs.

NT Wright���s Terrible Answer to ���Help! Science Is Pushing Me Toward Atheism���

���Help! Questions of science and evolution are pushing me to the brink of atheism. How can I be a Christian and make sense of modern questions that defy God���s existence?��� This is a question New Testament scholar NT Wright received and answered recently in his ���Ask NT Wright Anything��� column. And the answer Dr. Wright gave was . . . well, terrible���but it���s consistent with his compromise of God���s Word because he accepts man���s false evolutionary beliefs!

The second half of his answ...

���Flue��� Whales Confirm the Bible���s Teaching

What is a ���flue��� whale? Well, it���s a hybrid of a fin whale and the more well-known titan, the North Atlantic blue whale. Both of these oceanic giants are baleen whales (named for the comb-like structures they use to filter plankton from the water), and their offspring confirm what we���d expect starting with Genesis.

A new study of blue whale DNA found that around 3.5% of a blue whale���s genome is actually the result of interbreeding with fin whales. Furthermore, it turns out the resultin...

It���s Valentine���s Day but Do We Know What Love Is?

Today, February 14, is Valentine���s Day (in case you missed all the reminders in every store and all over social media!). Hmm, maybe I should think about a present for my wife.

It���s the day, of course, that our culture celebrates love, particularly romantic love, with roses, boxes of chocolates, jewelry, and cards. But how can we be sure that what we���re celebrating really is love?

So What Is Love?

���Love is love,��� ���I���ve fallen in love,��� ���I���ve fallen out of love,��� and similar cl...
