Does a Group Called “Free Inquiry” Really Want “Free Inquiry”?
Published November 22nd, 2009 in Press Coverage, Thoughts and Things
Allegations of “child abuse” and “terrorism” against AiG
In a report that is appearing today in our local Enquirer newspapers (Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky editions), an article reported on a meeting at Norwood Public Library in Ohio by a group of atheists associated with the organization called Free Inquiry Group. The report began by quoting one of the atheists addressing the group with, “Good evening, sinners,” obviously mocking Christianity. This same atheist is also reported as claiming about the Creation Museum that it promotes “child abuse” (because he thinks it teaches things that aren't true) and "terrorism" (because it ...
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 ...
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 ...
Follow-up on Cincinnati Magazine Article
Published November 10th, 2009 in Current Issues in the World, My Journeys, Press Coverage
Recently, I gave a summary of the lengthy article that appears in this month’s edition of Cincinnati Magazine about our Creation Museum—and the visit by the 70 paleontologists who toured our museum a few months ago (they were in the area for a fossil conference).
A senior chemical engineer who works for a multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 company wrote the following to us after he read the magazine article:
First, I am pleased at the length of coverage. Second, I was upset that the magazine attempted to portray the visiting scientists as fair, and it didn’t mention that AiG ...
A Unique Angle
Published November 7th, 2009 in Feedback, Press Coverage
Here is a unique angle on our Creation Museum—as found in a local magazine. Cincinnati Magazine is featuring a long article on our Creation Museum in the current (November) issue, with the title “And on the Sixth Day, God Created Paleontologists.”
This year we have had three groups of evolutionary scientists visit the museum—one of them was this past Saturday (for those who had been attending a conference on Charles Darwin in Cincinnati). And there was another on August 7, when 285 atheists/agnostics toured the museum. The first evolutionist group was back in June, when about 70 paleontologists who ...
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 ...
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!...
Anti-Creation Museum Lecture at Purdue University
Published October 3rd, 2009 in Feedback, My Journeys, Press Coverage
Brent Aucoin, who is the Pastor of Seminary and College Ministries at a key AiG-friendly church in Lafayette, Indiana—Faith Baptist Church (where I have spoken), and is located down the road from the campus of Purdue U. (a huge university)—sent us this report on the anti-Creation Museum lecture given last week by a secularist who toured our museum with the 285 atheists/agnostics on Aug. 7 (see the blog post on that).
I am a long time supporter of Answers in Genesis and have organized several spring break trips with our Purdue students to serve Answers in Genesis during the ...
Prominent Democratic Strategist Slams Creationists on CNN—Mentioning Creation Museum
Published September 7th, 2009 in Press Coverage, Thoughts and Things
The international news network CNN describes James Carville as a “prominent Democratic strategist.”
He’s largely credited with getting President Bill Clinton elected in 1992 through his key strategic planning, and is maybe best known as the former host of CNN’s “Crossfire” program and as a frequent guest on CNN’s “Situation Room” (where I once appeared in May 2007). He is also the husband of Republican strategist Mary Matalin.
Carville often pops up on political talk shows on TV. That was the case Friday in the Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees program on the 4th of September. Carville slammed creationists—mentioning our Creation ...
A Battle in Ohio over our Kentucky Museum
Published September 6th, 2009 in Museum Updates, Press Coverage, Thoughts and Things
A battle of letters to the editor to an Ohio newspaper has been occurring over our Creation Museum.
The first salvo was actually a hit piece against us by an editor for the Mansfield News Journal (July 26) who was particularly nasty in his column. (This anti-museum commentary was, when last we checked, no longer on the paper’s website—we have a photocopy of the piece back in the office, but our administrative offices are closed for two days, for Sunday and Labor Day, and so we don’t have access to scan the editorial and post it here.)
Here is the ...
