One of the Few Creationist Christian Universities
Published November 20th, 2009 in My Journeys
Over the last two days, I had the honor of speaking to all students and faculty at two extended chapels—and also a public evening meeting—at Northland International University in Dunbar, Wisconsin. To me it was very encouraging to be asked to speak at a Christian university that takes a stand on biblical authority, beginning in Genesis. There are so few such Christian universities in the world that uphold the book of Genesis as Answers in Genesis does. If you have never heard about Northland, then I encourage you to go to ...
Scholarship Opportunity
Published November 19th, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
As this unique scholarship involves a book written by AiG personnel, I thought it would be good to publicize this opportunity for students:
Master Books, an imprint of New Leaf Publishing Group [and publisher of many of our books], will award one $3000 scholarship for the 2010–2011 academic school year. The 2010 Master Books Scholarship Essay Contest is open to any high school junior or senior or the equivalent thereof from any public, private, or homeschool venue. The applicant must be a U.S. citizen and have a minimum ...
A University That Celebrates the Creator
Published November 18th, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
Here is an item about a Christian college I will be speaking at next May: Tennessee Temple University. TTU professor Dr. Andrew Fabich, a biologist, sent this to us about a special campus event being held Thursday:
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species on November 24, 1859. Atheists, agnostics, and skeptics are thus celebrating 150 years of its evolution teaching. In response to the 150th year of Darwin’s publication, Tennessee Temple University will have a special Creation Chapel tomorrow (November 19th). For the Creation Chapel, TTU will not highlight Darwin’s publication; instead, faculty, staff, and ...
What the Pastor Would Not Post
Published November 17th, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
On November 13, I posted a blog item with the heading “Liberal Lutheran Pastor Slams Already Gone Book and Marriage.” If you haven’t read this item I encourage you to do so or refresh your memory by going to this previous blog posting.
Well the pastor responded on his own blog, virtually ignoring the fact that we pointed out numerous false statements in his previous posting concerning AiG and its CEO. He admitted he was wrong about the publisher of the Already Gone book—but tried to justify his mistake. However, he basically ignored everything else ...
Award-Winning Curriculum
Published November 16th, 2009 in Around AiG, Press Coverage
AiG’s award-winning curriculum for homeschoolers continues to receive some extremely high marks. Over the last couple of years our curriculum team has helped to bring the already excellent work of Diana Waring (history writer) and Debbie & Richard Lawrence (science writers) to a whole new level, as we’ve added extensive color, new graphics, even entirely new textbooks. These, plus our just-released Answers for Preschoolers curricula, are now in use by thousands of families.
I hear “thank you” from grateful parents frequently as I’m out speaking, and now with the newest round of upgrades, we are ...
Meet Tucker
Published November 15th, 2009 in Around AiG, Museum Updates
I have included some photographs of a new member of the Creation Museum—his name is “Tucker,” and he was a real hit yesterday with our 1800 visitors, including many children (plus our museum’s operations director Dan Mangus, holding Tucker).

Very Special Talk at the Museum, on a Memorable Date—December 7
Things are not static at the Creation Museum. Even our lecturers are constantly developing new talks for our museum attendees. Popular AiG speaker Mike Riddle is a former Marine (although he is quick to remind me that there really is no such thing as a “former” Marine!), and ...
First Place at Fair
Published November 14th, 2009 in Feedback, Press Coverage
Our geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling received this email from an excited AiG supporter:
Hi Doctor Snelling, I have some good . . . news. While I was doing [the AiG in-depth conference called] “Creation College” in July, my family and I went over to see the Creation Museum. I took pictures of the gardens and the waterfalls. When I got home, I entered two pictures I took of the gardens into my county fair and one of them won first place. I attached the winning picture.
Already ...
Liberal Lutheran Pastor Slams Already Gone Book and Marriage
Published November 13th, 2009 in My Journeys
Our new book Already Gone has already had a phenomenal impact on numerous churches across America. This book details the results of a survey conducted by America’s Research Group, headed by respected market researcher and behavioralist Britt Beemer—highly respected in both the secular and Christian world.
Britt set out to find out why—and importantly when—two-thirds of our young people are eventually walking away from the church. The results were both revealing and shocking. Britt co-authored the book with me—keep in mind that he would not put his name on a book if he could not agree with ...
Atheists Can Be So Inconsistent
Published November 12th, 2009 in Current Issues in the World, Thoughts and Things
One of the news items from our local area this week started with the headline:
“Godless” Billboard Going Up in Cincinnati.
The item continued:
“Don’t Believe In God? You are not alone.” [sic] are the words featured on the billboard on Reading Road at 12th Street, one block south of Liberty Street. It was placed there by Cin CoR, the Cincinnati Coalition of Reason.
The group says the display is part of a coordinated statewide campaign that includes similar billboards announced today in Columbus and Cleveland. It’s aimed at raising awareness about people who don’t believe in a god.
First of all, who is ...
A Special Day in the U.S.
Published November 11th, 2009 in Feedback, Thoughts and Things
Today is Veterans Day in America. After the massacre at the Ft. Hood, Texas, military post last week, this day becomes even more poignant. Also, I think of Mike Zovath, one of the founders of this ministry, who was a lieutenant colonel in the Army—he is recovering from heart surgery. A number of other AiG staff have also served in the military (e.g., Mike Riddle, Jim Stiles, Buddy Davis). Today we remember and thank those who have served in the U.S. military—and those currently serving.
Two of our long-time volunteers (about 15 years here) served during WWII: Art ...
