Fond Farewell
Published October 31st, 2009 in Around AiG, My Journeys
This week we said good-bye to one of our dear staff, Donna. She is retiring and moving to Arizona to be near family and friends; before doing so, she will be visiting parts of America and then volunteer for a few weeks at the fine ministry of Voice of the Martyrs in Oklahoma. See www.vom.org
Donna, who worked in our correspondence department (using her science background, which she also used as a naturalist with the U.S. government on Johnston Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean), said good-bye to us this week. Her supervisor, Bodie (left in the photo) said ...
Creation Museum Wins Tourism Awards
Published October 30th, 2009 in Around AiG, Ministry Updates
The Creation Museum received four awards—including Best of Show honors—at the Kentucky Tourism Council’s 2009 Traverse Awards for Excellence in Tourism Marketing held in Louisville, Kentucky, earlier this week.
The museum took Best of Show honors out of over 200 entries for our billboard campaign designed by Joseph David Advertising. Television ads featuring our planetarium and Noah’s Ark exhibits were awarded first place, and the Souvenir Guide received first place in the Visitor’s Guide category.
The awards presentation was held October 27 during an evening gala at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville as part of the Kentucky Tourism ...
Saved at the Museum
Published October 29th, 2009 in Feedback, Ministry Updates
Testimonies like the following are what the Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis ministry are all about:
I wanted to write and let you know that last Saturday we visited the Creation Museum. It was a wonderful experience. We knew that it would be good, but it was even better than we expected.
We were traveling from New York back to Little Rock and came through Cincinnati just to see the Creation Museum. We had a group of high school juniors and seniors with us, and we were on a tight schedule to try to arrive home before midnight. ...
Our New “Volunteer Coordinators” . . . Are Volunteers!
Published October 28th, 2009 in Ministry Updates, Press Coverage, Thoughts and Things
It’s a remarkable story: a retired surgeon and his wife move from Pennsylvania to our area to become volunteers at Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum.
Long-time supporters Dr. Steve and Ruth Carter have been “creationist evangelists” for many years in southern Pennsylvania, where Dr. Carter gave many creation talks—especially for young people. They both saw the power of the creation/gospel message to change hearts and minds (one of our ministry’s best friends became an on-fire Christian after hearing Steve speak on creation in the ‘90s).
When Dr. Carter retired, he wanted to use this passion for apologetics to ...
Encouragement
Published October 27th, 2009 in Feedback
On the Internet we often see negative comments secularists (and even some Christians) make about Answers in Genesis and our Creation Museum. So, I thought it would be good to encourage us all to read some of the statements left on our Facebook site last week:
“Thanks to you and all those at AiG for your invaluable work. God has used you more than you know.”
“God bless you for all of the work you have done around the world. We are especially grateful for the Creation museum . . . that we had the pleasure of visiting ...
Already Gone Impact Is Growing
Published October 26th, 2009 in Around AiG, Feedback, My Journeys
The impact of the research in our book Already Gone as to why so many young people are leaving the church continues to grow. Here are just two feedback items we received this past week:
I just wanted to send a note of encouragement to your ministry. My husband and I attend [a church in] Michigan. Today our Executive Pastor highly recommended your new book, Already Gone, during the Sunday sermon. We are doing a fall sermon series on mentoring the next generations, and today our pastor described some of the research in your book. In ...
Did Evolution Help Get President Obama Elected?
Published October 25th, 2009 in Museum Updates, My Journeys, Thoughts and Things
Well, a recent news report states:
Why did Barack Obama win the US election and did the fact he is over six feet tall influence the voters? The authors of a paper published in Current Biology this month argue that due to 'a hangover from our evolutionary past' factors like age, sex, height and weight play a major part in the determining our choice of leaders.
You can read the entire report at: http://www.physorg.com/news175360092.html
However, the Bible makes it clear that God raises up kings and destroys kingdoms—God is sovereignly in control of everything—even the election of President Obama. And the ...
Pro Tennis Player Has a New Career
Published October 24th, 2009 in My Journeys, Press Coverage
The former highly ranked tennis player David Wheaton is a good friend of Answers in Genesis. While he honeymooned in Scotland a few months ago, a photo of David was taken standing on top of parking spot #23 in front of Edinburgh’s famous church, St. Giles—where the great Reformer John Knox preached. Knox is buried under this gold plate! As I’ve noted before, Charles Darwin is celebrated by being buried inside the famous church in London, Westminster Abbey, yet Knox’s grave is in a Scottish parking lot! There‘s something wrong with this picture!...
Resource Reservoir
Published October 23rd, 2009 in Around AiG, Feedback
I have always said that one of the vital missions of Answers in Genesis is to spread resources throughout the nation—and around the world—to overcome the censorship that exists in public education (and through much of the secular media) that denies people the truth concerning the evidence against evolution/billions of years. Through AiG's website, conferences, Creation Museum bookstore, and other channels, we do our best to pour out resources into this nation.
Here is a comment about this that we received this week:
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for your wonderful resources. I teach middle ...
Spectacular New Dinosaur Book
Published October 22nd, 2009 in Around AiG, Ministry Updates
Master Books has just produced what they believe is the best children’s book they’ve ever published—Dinosaurs for Kids.
The artwork in this book is absolutely spectacular.
Based on the 7 C’s we are using in our Creation Museum, I came up with seven ages for dinosaurs—all starting with the letter F: Formed, Fearless, Fallen, Flood, Faded, Found, Fiction. Of course, we live in what could be called the Age of Fiction, where kids are taught a certain fiction about dinosaurs—fiction such as millions of years ...
