Marriage���A Good Gift from God

For the month of June, we at Answers in Genesis have been celebrating God���s very good design of the family. And a big part of that design is the lifelong union of one man and one woman���marriage! It���s a wonderful design from a good God, and it���s still good even in a fallen world. And I thought I���d share a video with you that celebrates God���s design for marriage, featuring a couple who have been married for 50 years.

That couple is my wonderful wife Mally and me! A few months ago, we c...

Could Supposed Ape-Woman Lucy ���Stand as Erect as Modern Humans���?

���3D Muscle Reconstruction Reveals 3.2 Million-Year-Old ���Lucy��� Could Stand As Erect as Modern Humans,��� popular science headlines declare as they report on a new study on our supposed human ancestor, ���Lucy.��� But there���s more to the story than the headlines proclaim!

Of course, headlines in news stories are often constructed as ���click bait,��� aiming to be sensational to draw people in. But once one reads the actual scientific paper the news article is based on, one often finds it��...

When It Comes to Death and Suffering, Your Foundation Matters

It���s an age-old question. How can a Christian explain this world of death, disease, and suffering and yet believe in a loving God? Well, only those who take the book of Genesis as literal history can explain the condition of the world today.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, diseases, violence, and death���we see these catastrophes and tragedies each day on this earth. Surely no one would call a world like this ���good.��� But in reality���and I���ll explain why in a moment���it���...

Our New Creation Museum Animal Is a Puzzle for Evolution

While I often talk about the platypus as being a conundrum for evolutionists due to its odd combination of features, another lesser-known animal kind poses just as many questions for the evolutionary community���the tenrecs!

We now have one named Tansy at the Creation Museum���s Eden Animal Experience. She���s a ���lesser hedgehog tenrec��� and will act as an animal ambassador in our daily live animal zoo program to teach guests about God���s unique design in animals.

I asked one of our very tale...

German Church Hosts AI Chatbot-Led Service

A Lutheran church in Germany recently hosted a very ���21st century��� church service! A young theologian and philosopher asked ChatGPT (a form of artificial intelligence) to write a 40-minute church service, which was then delivered by an avatar ���with an expressionless face and monotone voice��� on a screen. Now, is AI the future of the church?

The man behind this ���church service��� said ���it is not his intention to replace religious leaders with artificial intelligence. Rather, he sees th...

A Father���s Legacy

At the Creation Museum, in the lobby of the Legacy Hall auditorium, there is an exhibit called the Ham Family Legacy exhibit. This exhibit features my father and mother and tells of the phenomenal spiritual impact they had on their family.

Inside a glass case is my father���s Bible, opened to Genesis, showing the many notes he had written beside the text. He would use such notes as he taught Bible studies���not just on Genesis, but through the whole Bible.

There is also a wooden model of Noah���s...

What Is a Woman?

In 2022, a documentary hosted by politically conservative commentator Matt Walsh, host of The Matt Walsh Show podcast and columnist for The Daily Wire, was released. This was an eye-opening documentary detailing the anti-God agenda regarding gender identity that is destroying many lives, including those of young children.

What the documentary didn���t cover was a biblical answer to the question ���What is a woman?������not discussing the One who created and designed women: our Creator God. The m...

Christianity Makes Weddings

Have you ever gone into debt to attend a wedding? Recently an AiG staff member saw an article that stated, ���Almost every aspect of planning, hosting and attending weddings is getting pricier. Even guests are going into wedding debt . . . The average cost of a wedding in the U.S. ticked up from $28,000 to $29,000 from 2022 to 2023.��� Now that���s expensive (and probably not strictly necessary!), but it���s interesting that even in our day of casual ���hook-ups��� and a lack of commitment, wed...

Did Homo Naledi Create Art and Start Fires?

In 2015, the news blew up with the announcement that scientists had discovered a new ���human-like species��� deep in a barely accessible cave in South Africa. This new species, believed to be another (of the supposed many over the years) ���missing link,��� was labeled Homo naledi,a new ���homo��� species. Well, Homo naledi is back in the news again, this time with scientists claiming these creatures created carvings and started fires in their cave.

As researchers further explored the cave wher...
