The Scopes Trial Showed Compromise on Genesis Doesn���t Pay

Today, 100 years ago, was the final day of the widely followed Scopes trial in Dayton, TN, where the truth of the Bible was essentially put on trial for the nation (and an international audience) to see. Sadly, the Christian defending the Bible compromised on Genesis, allowing for millions of years, and was unable to answer certain questions about the truth of Genesis. And the results are still felt today!

This month, we published an article highlighting a judge���s perspective on those courtroo...

Music Evangelism

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! (Psalm 95:1���2)

People love music. God certainly created us to enjoy music and to be able to praise him in song. At church, we sing praises to God. People love to go to concerts. Even in creation, we hear beautiful music from the birds God created.

So at our two attractions, we use music in various ways ...

Study: Pregnancy Not a ���Power Struggle��� but ���Finely-Tuned Collaboration���

Well, here���s a study that did not surprise me!

A new study looked at pregnancy in six different mammals���including humans, mice, guinea pigs, macaques (monkeys), tenrecs (very unique mammals), and opossums (marsupials). Now, the researchers picked each of these because they believe they represent ���key branches of the mammalian evolutionary tree.��� Of course, that���s nothing but evolutionary storytelling���their interpretation of the evidence starting with an evolutionary worldview (and it...
