Answers Academy Is Settling In

The students of Answers Academy (Answers in Genesis��� K���12 Christian school) are really enjoying the newly renovated facilities they recently moved into. The school continues to grow rapidly with increasing interest from parents who want to truly disciple their children for the Lord.

This is a unique school where students have access to all the resources of the Answers in Genesis ministry, including all the specialists who can give them training and experiences they can���t get anywhere else ...

France Enshrines Abortion ���Rights��� in Their Constitution

I���ve repeatedly stated that we live in a culture of death, and this recent news item out of France just proves the point. France has written the ���right��� to an abortion (really the killing���murder���of innocent babies made in the image of God) into their constitution.

Members of both houses of parliament gathered on March 4 for a joint session and approved the measure 780���72 (a 91% ���yes��� vote). Sickeningly, the result of the vote ���drew a long-standing ovation among many of the lawm...

Wondering ���What Is a Woman?��� Hurts Women

This month has been dubbed Women���s History Month here in America. There���s already been an International Women���s Day, and many issues (or supposed issues) impacting women are being highlighted by the media and activist groups all month. But, because of the impact of transgender ideology, there���s one issue greatly impacting women that won���t be discussed by the mainstream media���and that���s the ���What is a woman?��� question. Actually, the answer is easy���biologically, genetically, a...

What Was the Most Important Thing Said at the Nye Debate 10 Years Ago?

Time seems to go so fast, but did you know that February 4 this year was the 10th anniversary of the debate between me and Bill Nye ���the Science Guy���?

Sadly, after the debate I asked Bill if we could stay in touch with each other, and he gave a very firm no. But he can���t stop us from praying for him.

Despite his answer, he did contact me later that year.

On December 6, 2014 (nine months after the debate), Bill Nye sent me his book Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation with a note...

Creation Basics: Were the Days in Genesis 24-Hour Days?

How long did God take to create? In an effort to fit millions of years into the Bible, some Christians claim the days of creation were long periods of time, not literal 24-hour days. But is the Bible really that unclear about creation���can we add millions of years into the Bible?

We start with Scripture and interpret the evidence through the lens of the true history of the world.

Well, before we answer that question, consider why some Christians want to add millions of years into Scripture. It��...

Pro-LGBT Doctors Push Known Dangerous Hormones on Children

I have to shake my head in sadness at the depravity of some doctors in the US. A recent news article mentioned that top pro-LGBT doctors know transgender hormones cause cancer and death (as well as several other problems) and yet still continue to prescribe them.

Not only that, but they refer minors for surgery, even after learning that they have a mental health disorder. One callous doctor, Christine McGinn, is quoted saying she: ���operated on three DID [Dissociative Identity Disorder] patient...

Three Ways to Celebrate Easter with Your Children

Easter is perhaps the greatest holiday on the Christian calendar���after all, there���s nothing greater to celebrate than the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. It was his death that paid the penalty for our sin, once for all, and his resurrection that defeated death. Of course, our culture misses that beautiful truth amidst chocolate, bunnies, pastel colors, and baby chickens. So how can we help our children and grandchildren focus on Christ this Easter?

There���s no greater...

What Does Dr. John MacArthur Believe About Genesis?

Over the past four decades of ministry, I���ve been disappointed by the low number of Christian academics, theologians, pastors, and leaders who will take a firm stand on Genesis publicly. Most won���t take a firm stand, allowing for compromise positions involving millions of years or even other evolutionary beliefs, and many of the ones who do believe in the straightforward teaching of Genesis aren���t willing to teach it to their congregations or others because it���s ���too controversial.���...

Do We Need a More ���Subtle��� View on Cannibalism?

Modern Western society lives by the motto ���Do what���s right for you.��� And if that���s the ethic of the day, every ���social taboo��� must fall to give way to doing what���s right for you. It also means that one culture���like the West���can���t judge another culture���like the Aghori, a Hindu sect���even if they reportedly occasionally eat people ���in pursuit of transcendence.��� It���s part of living in a time like the judges, when ���everyone did what was right in his own eyes��� (Judge...

Construction Update: First-Century Jerusalem Model Continues to Take Shape

Construction of the massive model of first-century Jerusalem is well underway. Artists from AiG���s design team continue to work on this exciting project that involves producing a large, extremely accurate scale model of first-century Jerusalem. This model will eventually be housed in the Jerusalem building currently under construction at the Ark Encounter and scheduled to open in 2026.

But how can our design team produce all the model houses and 15,000 human figures, along with trees, animals, ...
