Behind the Scenes: Arks Around the World Exhibit Construction Continues

Do the following two stories remind you of anything?

Story #1:

An old man, his wife, and their son and daughter-in-law lived in a hut, with a small pot hanging from the ceiling, which was not to be touched. But the daughter-in-law touched the pot, it smashed, and all the world���s water gushed out, drowning all the people and animals.

Story #2:

Once upon a time, an angry crab caused a flood. It destroyed everything except a brother and sister who locked themselves and two of every animal in a big c...

Most Christians Don���t Know THIS About Snakes

Many people have strong opinions about certain animals���for anyone who has heard me speak, you know it���s poodles and cats for me (well, that���s what I tell people anyway)! But there���s probably no animal that evokes more emotion from more people than snakes. Why is this and is it justified?

Well, Karina Altman, our Zoo Animal Programs Manager, has very strong feelings about snakes���but they are very positive feelings! And she and her team work hard to teach our guests a biblical worldview ...

Eternal God or Eternal Matter?

When it comes to what you believe about the past, you have two primary options���either you believe in the eternal God who created all things, or you believe in eternal matter or energy. And for those who try to blend the two by saying God used the big bang to create, well, you have (another) big problem! According to some big bang cosmologists, something (background radiation) existed even before the big bang. In other words, ���the Universe was never truly empty.��� So which is it���an eterna...

Will AI Weapon Systems Be Programmed with ���Judeo-Christian��� Values?

Who would you trust more in a high-stress, high-stakes military excursion? A trained human soldier with the limitations of hunger, thirst, lack of sleep, and emotion���or a soulless, autonomous artificial intelligence system acting according to its programming? That���s a question militaries around the world���including the US military���are already facing as AI quickly advances into every industry. But the big question is this: who gets to do the programming?

So what exactly is autonomous AI wh...

Armored Soldiers Spotted in Palm Plaza at the Creation Museum

Armored soldiers recently took over the Creation Museum���s Palm Plaza for two days! What was going on? Well, it was history coming to life at the Creation Museum! You see, at the end of July, we celebrated the two-year anniversary of our Borderland exhibit with a special weekend event, Borderland Living History Experience.

In 2021, we opened the Borderland exhibit with stunning artwork, models, and life-size figures to detail the events of history between the end of the Old Testament and the beg...

Did Scientists Revive 46,000-Year-Old Roundworms?

Deep in Siberian permafrost lurk microscopic roundworms frozen in time, just waiting for a thaw so they can emerge to infect a host and continue their life cycle. These parasitic creatures are known as nematodes, and they have the ability to ���freeze��� (reduce their metabolic rate to extremely low levels) for seemingly long periods of time. But are they really emerging from a 46,000-year state of cryptobiosis, as the media is reporting?

Radiocarbon dating is based on a stack of unprovable assu...

Behind the Scenes: Greenhouse and Jerusalem Building Construction Continues

Construction is continuing at both the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter as exciting upgrades take shape. Our video team recently took drone footage of the ongoing construction so you could enjoy a unique look at everything that���s happening. Enjoy these two short videos.

This drone video gives you an update on the construction of the conservatory and supporting greenhouses at the Creation Museum. Construction continues to be slower than we hoped because of supply issues (which seems to be ...

There Really Is an Answer to the Death and Suffering Issue

One of the biggest objections to the truth of Christianity is the question, ���If there���s a loving God, why is there so much death and suffering in the world?��� or ���If God loves me, why did this happen to me or my family?��� These questions (which are often shrouded in heartbreak) can be really hard to answer���but there are answers when we start with the truth of God���s Word!

I recently appeared as a guest on Off the Bench, my friend Heidi St. John���s podcast, to answer this question. I ...

Breaking News: Evolutionary Story Gets Rewritten . . . Again

Less than a month ago, I wrote a blog titled, ���One of Evolution���s Most Famous Stories Gets a Rewrite.��� That blog highlighted changes to long-held beliefs about the supposed origin of mankind. Well, evolution is getting another rewrite (this happens regularly), this time regarding the story of the supposed origin of life. Yes, the evolutionary rewrites are endless!

The popular science summary of the article begins this way:

No, oxygen didn���t catalyze the swift blossoming of Earth���s first...
