Does a Group Called “Free Inquiry” Really Want “Free Inquiry”?

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 ...

A Dinosaur Book a Creationist Can Love

Here is the press release sent out this week about our new Dinosaurs for Kids book: New ‘Dinosaurs for Kids’ from Ken Ham Wows Kids and Parents Alike PETERSBURG, Ky., Nov. 18, 2009 – While there is no lack of colorfully illustrated books about dinosaurs for children, by and large these books talk about how many millions of years ago the dinosaurs lived, and how many billions of years old the Earth is. Many creationist parents have largely been stuck supplying these books for their dinosaur-loving ...

Scholarship Opportunity

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

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

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 ...

Atheists Can Be So Inconsistent

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.

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 ...

“Woe to Those who . . . Put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness”

In the book of Isaiah we read: Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! I was reminded of this verse when I read a secularist’s response to my recent blog on atheists and their claim of “child abuse” against Christians for teaching children about Christianity and creation. I encourage you to read my previous blog post and then read the response that was written to this: Ken Ham lives in a prison of his own making. A ...

Who Is Really Conducting the “Child Abuse”?

We have noticed in recent times, secularists increasingly using the term child abuse as an accusation against Christians teaching their children the Bible, creation, and so on.  Famous atheist/evolutionist Richard Dawkins uses that term, and so do others of the “new atheists.”  Obviously, one of their ploys is that ‘if you throw enough mud, after a while some of it will stick.”  These people also accuse AiG of child abuse.  I have numerous quotes of these secularists accusing us of such because children come to the Creation Museum and are exposed to anti-evolution and pro-Bible teachings (that go ...

Our New “Volunteer Coordinators” . . . Are Volunteers!

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 ...
