Shortly after the Fourth of July weekend here in the US, headlines proclaimed: ���For the third day in a row, Earth's average temperature breaks record highs.��� Last week on July 5, 2023, the average global temperature (according to one university���s ���Climate Reanalyzer,��� ���a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world���s condition���) was a record 62.8 degrees Fahrenheit (or 17.18 C), beating the ���record��� set on Monday.

Arks Are Coming to the Ark Encounter

Another new exhibit is coming to the Ark Encounter! Like the Torah scroll exhibit I shared about recently, this coming exhibit will also be installed on the third deck of the life-size Noah���s Ark. So, what does this exciting new exhibit feature and teach?

Well, it���s an ark exhibit at the Ark! You see, a friend of the Answers in Genesis ministry has traveled around the world, and in each country he visited, he obtained a model Noah���s ark. Of course, they mostly look like the ���bathtub arks...

One of Evolution���s Most Famous Stories Gets a Rewrite

We���ve all heard the tale���for hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived in small, simple groups, hunting and gathering, moving with the seasons and herds of prey. Then 10,000 (or so) years ago, this changed when humans (finally!) thought of farming and building lasting structures���civilization had begun! Now, of course, in a biblical worldview, we know this view of human history is nothing but a fairy tale���but now (not surprisingly, as evolutionists change their stories constantly), so...

Yes, They Really Are That Good!

���They���re really that good,��� was the statement an Ark Encounter visitor made to me after I said our resident artist group, TrueSong, which performs at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, is as good or better than many of the leading Christian music artists today.

Over the years, secular and Christian media have asked me how we found such talent as what exists in the Answers in Genesis ministry and the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions. I answered, ���Just as God brought the a...

Did ���Human Ancestors��� Survive the Dinosaur Extinction?

When you see a headline like this one, ���Humans��� ancestors survived the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs,��� what do you picture as a ���human ancestor���? Well, the article describes our supposed ���ancestors��� as simply ���placental mammals��� found fossilized in the same rock layers as dinosaurs. But did they really find our ancestors?

This new study is a great example of observational vs. historical science. The placental mammals themselves, and where they are found in the fossi...
