Did Kangaroos and Giraffes Take Over at the Creation Museum?

Did kangaroos and giraffes take over at the Creation Museum last week? Well, in a sense, yes, they did! If you visited the museum recently, you may have seen a video production crew in various places. They are filming for some new commercials.

These high-quality commercials will feature our animated giraffes (from our TV commercials for the Ark Encounter) and their kangaroo friend, Bouncer (our 3-Day Bouncer Pass is named after him). These new commercials will show the giraffes coming to visit t...

Hope for America from Post-Christian Ministry in Australia

One of the questions I���ve received over the years from supporters, especially in recent times, goes something like this, ���What is AiG doing for leadership for the future? Who are you training up to take the place of the founders?���

A number of years ago, our board of directors started asking, ���What happens when the bus hits Ken?��� In fact, that has been mentioned so many times in recent years, I���m paranoid of going anywhere near a bus! I keep well away from the shuttle buses at the Ark...

Study: Boys Are Trending Conservative; Girls Growing More Liberal

With everything going on in our culture today, studies that highlight what young people believe are particularly interesting and sometimes even surprising. For instance, a new study of high school seniors found that boys are trending conservative (though many define themselves as ���moderate��� or as having no political affiliation). Girls, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly liberal.

Now, why might boys be trending more politically conservative? Well, commentators have offered a variet...

A Tribute to Dan Manthei

On Tuesday, August 15, we heard that our dear friend Dan Manthei passed into the presence of the Lord. Dan was one of the founding members of the board of Answers in Genesis (that was initially called ���Creation Science Ministries���) when we first began the ministry in December 1993. From then on, he was a faithful board member and supporter.

I first met Dan in the ���80s when I came to the USA for speaking tours. Dan was one of the founding members of Master Books when it was formed in Califo...

New Dinosaur Coming to the Creation Museum

A new exhibit featuring an incredibly realistic dinosaur model is coming to the Creation Museum. Any ideas where this new exhibit might be located? Well, most people wouldn���t realize that when they walk through what we call our Starting Points exhibit in the Creation Museum, there is a blank wall. But that wall will soon be filled with an exhibit on rapid burial during the flood.

A feature of this exhibit will be an outstanding (actually, the artists believe it will be the most professional in...

Human Skull ���Unlike Any Human Seen Before��� Discovered in China?

Does the human family tree ���need another branch���? That���s the claim being made by the popular science media after the discovery of an ���ancient human fossil . . . unlike any other hominin found before��� in China. How should we view this new find within a biblical worldview?

Well, this yet-to-be-classified fossil find consists of some jaw, leg, and skull bones from a 12- or 13-year-old child. According to the popular reports, the ���face is similarly structured to that of the modern human ...

Ministry Update: Big Outreach to Spanish-Speakers Coming to the Ark and Creation Museum

I thought I would use today���s blog post to provide a ministry update for you and ask for you to join with us in praying for an event coming to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in October.

D��a Latino (October 20���21, 2023) is a big outreach of Answers...
