Taking the Creation Museum to a Hospital Patient
Published June 30th, 2008 in Around AiG, Feedback
Early this May, Heidi Buck sent Answers in Genesis an email to both thank the ministry for its impact on their family and to send us a very special request. Joshua, her son, had sustained burns at age five and was now in need of corrective surgery (at age 11). Heidi (mom) and he made plans to travel from their home in Florida to Cincinnati’s Shriners Burn Hospital for some corrective burn surgery at the beginning of June.
In her email, Heidi expressed how much Joshua loves science and dinosaurs and wanted to know if the museum would be ...
AiG Produces Security Book for Faith-Based Organizations
Published June 29th, 2008 in Around AiG, Ministry Updates
Today is Sunday. Millions all across America (and the around the world) are worshiping in churches. But this is not the same world generations of the past lived in. This is a world in which we see increasing violence, terrorism—all sorts of horrible crimes. We’ve seen shootings at Universities, Post Offices . . . and Churches. More and more Christian leaders are becoming acutely aware of the need to be security conscious for the protection of their congregations, staff, etc. This is a great responsibility and many are inexperienced in security issues—and don’t know ...
HSLDA Attorney Visits AiG
Published June 28th, 2008 in My Journeys, Around AiG, Feedback
When Mally and I homeschooled, we made sure we were members of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA)—and of course we see it vital that our own married children who are homeschooling also are members of HSLDA. Their website states: “Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms. Through annual memberships, HSLDA is tens of thousands of families united in service together, providing a strong voice when and where needed." You can ...
Gallup Poll on Republicans, Democrats, and Creation
Published June 27th, 2008 in My Journeys, Current Issues in the World
Gallup, the US polling organization, has released this information about a new survey it conducted:
Republicans much more likely than Democrats to believe humans created as-is 10,000 years ago. . . . There is a significant political divide in beliefs about the origin of human beings, with 60% of Republicans saying humans were created in their present form by God 10,000 years ago, a belief shared by only 40% of independents and 38% of Democrats.

Careful Where You Buy Dinosaur Books
Published June 26th, 2008 in Thoughts and Things, Ministry Updates, Feedback
AiG has a whole range of books and DVDs dealing with dinosaurs. As I have often stated, dinosaurs are used by evolutionists more than many things to convince young children (and adults) of evolution and millions of years. That is why AiG has produced some beautiful dinosaur books for children, as well as special DVD programs like the one Buddy Davis and I produced for kids.
I find that the secular media and evolutionists attack us vehemently for teaching that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time. They state that this is ridiculous and anti-science. They scoff and ...
Make Your Summer Vacation Really Count—in Branson
Published June 25th, 2008 in Around AiG, Ministry Updates
How about joining 1,800 of our ministry friends (about 450 families) next month as they all head to Branson, Missouri, for AiG’s Defending Your Faith in a Secular America national conference?
All of us will enjoy four days (July 15-18) in this premier vacation spot in America—plus receive some excellent apologetics teaching from Doug Phillips of Vision Forum and Dr. Voddie Baucham of Texas. They are superb speakers. We’ll feature over a dozen inspirational and equipping teaching sessions—I will be doing many sessions myself. Plus, there will be some great toe-tapping music from AiG’s very own Buddy Davis. Buddy will also ...
Is There More Than One Way to Heaven?
Published June 24th, 2008 in Current Issues in the World, Press Coverage, Around AiG
In Part II of the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey on www.pewforum.org, we read:
Part II of the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey explores Americans' religious beliefs and practices as well as their social and political views. The survey finds that most Americans have a non-dogmatic approach to their faith; for example, most do not believe their religion is the only way to salvation. The survey also finds that religion is closely linked to political ideology.
The results of the survey were headline news across the USA on Monday.
Those who said they attend an “evangelical church,” were asked:
Now, as I read a pair of ...
Philadelphia Going All out for Darwin, New York Times Reports
Published June 23rd, 2008 in My Journeys, Thoughts and Things, Press Coverage
Today’s (Monday) New York Times is reporting on a number of secular academic institutions that will be going all out for Darwin in 2009. This is just one such event in what we expect to be a major thrust by evolutionists in that year.
In February 2009 (on the 12th), it will be the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth. October 2009 will be the 150th anniversary of Darwin’s book, On The Origin of the Species.
We have predicted for some time that evolutionists will treat this next year like a religious festival with a fervor for supporting Darwin as never seen before. ...
They Keep Coming
Published June 22nd, 2008 in My Journeys, Museum Updates, Around AiG, Feedback
They are coming from all over the world to visit the Creation Museum. This past week, a couple drove their car all the way from the Yucatan Peninsula (through Mexico) up to the Creation Museum! They had heard about the Museum and made the special trip to see it.
I have also included a photograph of a family who came from Hamburg, Germany. They said they heard about the Creation Museum a year ago and decided they must visit. Now they have.
It is common to see license plates from around ...
Now that the Creation Museum has given Answers in Genesis a much higher public profile, the attacks on this Bible-centered ministry have—not surprisingly—been on the increase. They take on a variety of forms, but one of the most unusual came last week when a young man by the name of Justin decided to challenge the legitimacy of the credentials of those on our staff—plus those scientists who are listed on our website and have some affiliation with us (e.g., as adjunct speakers, part-time writers, etc.).
AiG CCO Mark Looy spoke with him over the phone. This is what Mark ...
