What Was the Christmas Star?

Around the Christmas season, it���s always interesting to see even secular news sites paying special attention to the account of the birth of Christ in the Gospels. It���s not that they believe it really happened, but they know it still captures the imagination of their readers and generates clicks���so they continue to write about it!

The article (which even has an accompanying video) stated,

The Next 30 Years Begin . . .

What a journey it���s been, and what a great announcement we have for you.

The Answers in Genesis ministry officially began in December 1993 when the organization was legally incorporated in Kentucky. The three founders, Mark Looy, Mike Zovath, and I���and our families���moved to Kentucky in 1994 to build the Creation Museum as part of the apologetics outreach of the ministry. And what a journey it has been!

Looking back on the past 30 years, we stand in awe of what God has done. The Answers in G...

This project consists of the new Welcome Center and bus turnaround as well as the Jerusalem model building to house the most up-to-date and one of the most spectacular scale models of first-century Jerusalem in the world. I thought you���d enjoy this exciting construction update.

Babies and Hypocrisy

In October of this year, we heard the shocking news that Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel had killed 40 babies (beheading some). It was a terrible atrocity. Political leaders from around the world condemned this evil done by the terrorists.
