Answers in Genesis: Upholding the Authority of the Bible from the Very First Verse

AiG’s director of worldwide outreach, Dr. David Crandall, sent me this report today, summarizing some of the exciting things he has been involved with in the three months he has been on board full-time with AiG. Read the following and praise the Lord for these exciting happenings, and please pray for each of them:

19. All translations will be distributed in the various countries and will be available at the Creation Museum bookstore.

FILMING FOR MUSEUM EXHIBITS

The company AiG has contracted with to produce the 55 video presentations (to be used in various places in the Creation Museum) spent today at the office discussing various scripts/illustrations, etc., and also filmed another of the many creation scientists who will appear on many of these videos.

Today, Dr. Kurt Wise was interviewed (see photograph).

LAUGHING BEGAN FOUR MILLION YEARS AGO

Actually, I think many of you will laugh at this article I received today:

Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of laughter back 4m years to pre-humans slipping and stumbling in their first faltering attempts to walk on two legs. According to the theory, when they saw a member of their group lose his footing they would laugh as a sign to each other that something was amiss, but nothing too serious.

The theory could explain why, to this day, the ungainly walk remains a staple element of slapstick humour from John Cleese’s “Ministry of Silly Walks” to Rowan Atkinson’s accident-prone Mr Bean.

So there you have it! Laughing began when pre-humans (apes!) laughed at other pre-humans (apes) who were evolving to walk to two legs! Isn’t it great to know such things can be taught as fact in the public schools!

You can read the rest of the article at this link: “Sorry old Bean, the apes got there first.”

I had a busy day of meetings today—a lot of time spent with the museum team and the company producing all the museum videos.

Thanks for stopping by,

Ken
