Is Knowing Your Child���s Gender ���A Privilege, Not a Right���?

Parental rights are under attack in Canada���and thankfully some Canadians are standing up and saying, ���Enough!��� as evidenced by growing support in various provinces for bills that require parental consent for minors to use preferred names or pronouns at school. But not everyone believes that parents have the right to know if their child is transitioning at school.

An opinion piece recently appeared in the online newspaperThe Toronto Star, titled, ���It���s a privilege, not a right, to know ...

Was Adam Historical (And Does It Really Matter)?

���For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive��� (1 Corinthians 15:22). In his letter to the church at Corinth, Paul makes a direct connection between Adam bringing death into the world and Jesus bringing life through his death and resurrection. A straightforward reading of Scripture clearly highlights the importance of a historical Adam���and yet so many Christian leaders deny this!

So many Christians will ask me, ���But does it really matter what we believe about Adam an...

Exciting New Ministry to Australians

Recently, I couldn���t help but think of this passage of Scripture,

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, ���Come over to Macedonia and help us.��� And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. (Acts 16:9���10)

Let me explain.

Overwhelming Response to Overcomers Conference

From the end of June through early July, I was in Australia s...

But before I show them to you, what exactly is our homeschool Bible curriculum? Well, after the release of my 2...

Dragons . . . Just a Myth?

Fire-breathing, gold-hoarding dragons are the stuff of fantasy stories, legends, and children���s books. But were these creatures just myths, or do they reflect the exaggerated memory of a time in history when people and these ���dragons��� lived with one another?

Dragons appear over and over again in legends around the world and even in art and pottery. Many of these creatures share similar features, and similar elements pop up in various legends. The biblical worldview actually makes sense of ...

Behind the Scenes: 3D Printers Assist in Jerusalem Model Fabrication

Our very talented artists, sculptors, and fabricators work in our design studios, where they have a special room devoted to 3D printers. These printers are invaluable to our design team, as they dramatically speed up the process of creating the many (many!) buildings, people, animals, and the thousands of miscellaneous items needed for this scale-model replica of first-century Jerusalem coming to the Ark Encounter.

Right now, our exhibit designers for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are ma...

This Is Causing a Mass Exodus from the Church

Church attendance across the Western world has dropped drastically���and continues to drop with every generation. In the USA, Generation Z church attendance is down to less than 9%. What is going on? Well, this is an issue I���ve been addressing for years, pointing the church back to the primary issue: an erosion of the authority of God���s Word and a lack of answers given to the next generation. So how can we stop this exodus?

There are practical ways that parents and churches can encourage the...

Scientists Create ���Models��� of Human Embryos in the Lab

���And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them��� (Genesis 11:6). These chilling words from the account of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 came to mind regarding this summary of a news article reporting on horrific new research out of Israel that created ������complete��� models of human embryos��� in the lab. These scientists, by disregarding the value of human life, have decided that ���nothing will now be impossible��� as they try to create synthetic human life.

So ho...

Time went by so quickly! As the event was nearly at an end, it really seemed like just yesterday we began setting up for 40/40���and now it���s over for the year! Enjoy these behind-the-scenes photos...

It���s Time for the Atheists to Get Mad at Me Again for Halloween

So why would internet atheists be mad at me or Answers in Genesis for Halloween? Well, nearly every year, I promote our witnessing tools���tracts, booklets, etc.���and encourage families to hand them out (with a treat of course!) to their neighbors and share the good news of Christ on the only day when your neighbors will come knocking, sometimes by the hundreds. And every year, this gets atheists all upset!

Some atheists will blog about it; others will comment on Facebook or Twitter. They all a...
