Do Avocados Really ���Make Everything Better���?

Many of you likely watched the Super Bowl game this past weekend, and you may have caught the ���Avocados From Mexico��� ad that played during a break. Now why would I be commenting on an advertisement for avocados? Because it featured Adam and Eve!

What If . . . ?

The description on YouTube for this ad reads:

What if things had gone differently in the Garden of Eden? What if ���Avocados From Mexico��� had been there just in time to make the whole world better? Can you imagine what modern New Yor...

Are Different Views of Genesis the Same as Different Views of the End Times?

Some Christians have argued with us at Answers in Genesis for taking Genesis as literal history, thus insisting on six literal creation days, a young earth and universe, and Adam being created directly from dust and Eve directly from his side. They say that Christians have different interpretations of eschatology (premil, postmil, amil, etc.), baptism, speaking in tongues, and the Sabbath day; therefore, in the same way, Christians have different interpretations of Genesis. But there���s an eno...

���House of David��� Reads 2,900-Year-Old Stone Slab

One of the most famous persons in biblical history is the warrior, shepherd, and musician King David. He���s mentioned all throughout the Bible and is always treated as a historical person���he���s even a physical ancestor of our Lord Jesus. And yet, for years, a group of scholars called ���minimalists��� (they believe only a minimal amount of the Bible���s history is true) doubted that King David ever really existed. But, of course, they were wrong because the Bible���s history is true���and t...

Video Update: Get a Sneak Peek of Current & Future Projects

And we want to share that video with you!

As you will see in the video, one our most ambitious projects���but certainly not our only project���is the...

Evolving Attractions Calendar

There are times we do believe in evolution! We believe in the evolution of our attractions calendar. It doesn���t happen by chance though���it takes a lot of intelligent input. Each year, as we appraise many factors, including attendance patterns, staffing, and so on, we adjust our attractions calendar to ensure the most efficient use of time, funds, and the accommodation of our Ark and Creation Museum visitors.

Because January, February, and part of March are the slowest times of the year, we i...

Do Chimps and Humans Share a Common Ancestor?

Last week we reran an excellent article by Dr. Georgia Purdom on the myth that humans and chimpanzees share 98���99% of their DNA. This false idea has been repeated so many times that nearly everyone���s heard it, and sadly, many people have wrongly accepted it. Shockingly, even some who claim to be young-earth creationists believe this nonsense (but, as you���ll see in the sobering series we���ve been running, such ideas are better called young-earth evolution). Now, I don���t lightly say that ...

Have Our Universe���s First Stars Finally Been Spotted?

Ever since the James Webb Space Telescope was launched on Christmas Day, 2021, astronomers have been eagerly poring over beautiful new images of the stars, galaxies, and more in deep outer space for insights into our universe, particularly its supposed origins. And one particular object which evolutionary astronomers are desperate to find is a so-called ���first generation��� star.

What Are ���First Generation��� Stars?

Now, what do they mean by a ���first generation��� star? Well, the big bang i...

Do All Human Bodies Host ���5 Traces of Ancient Species���?

One of the most popular ���evidences��� for evolution is what���s called homology. Homology refers to similar structures and features across different species (from a creationist perspective this would be across different ���kinds���). For example, there���s the textbook example of the vertebrate forearm. Such homology is observable, but here���s where the evolutionary assumptions come into play: they assume this is evidence for evolution because, in their view, similarities in design mean comm...
