Media Lies About House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Ark Encounter

Do we even need to be reminded that we can���t trust much of the secular media and that they will lie for the purpose of maligning those they don���t agree with? Probably not���and yet example after example pops up, including these recent secular media headlines regarding the new House Speaker, Congressman Mike Johnson (LA), and the Ark Encounter.

The Ark Encounter project and the Creation Museum were both funded 100% by private funding.

At Answers in Genesis, we have stated so many times that th...

Are Neanderthals ���More Sibling Than Cousin���?

How should the Neanderthals be classified? For a long time these so-called ���human cousins��� have remained a distinct species in our classification system, bearing the name Homo neanderthalensis and, along with that name, the characterization of a dumb, brutish creature. That���s how they were pictured in secular museums I visited as a teenager. But is that picture changing?

As we���ve pointed out many times at Answers in Genesis, that common perception of Neanderthals does not match with eith...

Study: ���Stronger . . . Faith��� Leads to Better Well-Being

The testimony of Scripture is that we were created as spiritual beings���we aren���t just physical bodies or simply our DNA. We���re more than that: we���re made in God���s image and possess an eternal soul that yearns for something outside of us. And, interestingly, new research demonstrates once again that ���people with a stronger spiritual or faith commitment often have better health and wellbeing outcomes than those without.���

This Gallup study, looking at data from 2012���2022, found that...

Ministry Update: Construction Continues on Jerusalem Model Building and New HQ

One of our staff members was recently chatting with a guest at the Ark Encounter who remarked, ���We visited in 2019 and are excited to be back���but we���re blown away by all the additions and upgrades! The Ark���s still there, but everything else feels so different!��� Yes, we���re constantly upgrading and adding new exhibits and features���all designed to point people to the truth of God���s Word and the gospel. And those new additions continue!

Do Creationists Believe in ���Hyper-Evolution���?

Have you ever heard the claim that creationists must believe in ���hyper-evolution���? After all, we believe that God sent two of every kind (seven pairs of some) of the land-dwelling, air-breathing animals to Noah to go on the ark. That means Noah didn���t take two wolves, two coyotes, two dingoes, two poodles, and so on���he just took two representatives of the dog kind. So how did all the species come from the original ark kinds in just a few thousand years?

Well, AiG���s Dr. Nathaniel Jeanso...

Depraved: Professor Says We Need ���Mass Movement��� for Kids��� Right to Sex Work

As you read this, there���s one word that comes to mind: depravity!

If reading the news headlines makes you cry out, ���Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!��� (Revelation 22:20), you are not alone. It seems that evil men and women prosper with no consequences while the righteous are treated with contempt and hostility���and it���s just getting worse! Seeing this is both discouraging and sobering as we consider the consequences of evil flourishing in our nation���consequences that most dramatically impact the...

How Does a Math Formula Highlight the Creator?

When it comes to math, most people either love it or hate it. But no matter how you feel about it, it might interest you to know that mathematics actually confirms the truth of God���s Word! Think about it���how could random, chance, materialistic processes over millions of years produce immaterial, precise (absolute) mathematical laws? They can���t!

There���s one specific mathematical formula that one of our staff members, retired US Marine Patrick Kanewske, loves to highlight because it magnif...

40 Days of . . .

How about:

40 Days of Christian Music40 Days of Top Christian Artists40 Days of Worshipping God in Music40 Days of Concerts40 Days of Singing Praises to God40 Days of Extraordinary Musical Talent

Yes, all the above is true. But that���s not the most exciting part. The biggest Christian music festival in the world took place at the Ark Encounter and on select days at the Creation Museum on August 1���September 9. It was our third festival of its kind. We call it 40/40.

40 days of Bible teaching.

Yes,...

You Can Now Earn a Master���s Degree in . . . Magic and the Occult

In my presentations at the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, and churches across the US, I often share the statistic that Generation Z is twice as likely as previous generations to call themselves atheists���but that doesn���t mean that Gen Z isn���t religious. They are all very religious���most just don���t want to believe in the biblical God. Instead they want to be ���spiritual,��� including dabbling in���or running headlong into���the occult.

A recent article from the UK confirmed that the...

Canine Conference Coming to the Ark Encounter, January 6���9, 2024

As I look back on how the AiG ministry began���in our home in Australia in 1977���to what it is now, I am just so amazed by what the Lord has done. And he continues to bring expanded areas of ministry through our attractions, including in ways that may not immediately be obvious, such as with our public safety team and their canines.

At the Ark Encounter, we often offer K9 Encounters where guests can learn about and see our working canines in action (these programs are very popular!)���and hear ...
