“Woe to Those who . . . Put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness”
Published November 4th, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
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”?
Published November 1st, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
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!
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 ...
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 ...
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Published October 17th, 2009 in Museum Updates, Thoughts and Things
I’m sure you have heard of this very popular TV program. On this past Thursday evening, one of the questions asked of the contestant was:
Displaying dinosaurs and humans living together, the Creation Museum is dedicated to refuting what scientific theory?
Evolution
Thermodynamics
Gravity
Electromagnetism
It is interesting to see the Creation Museum name popping up in all sorts of places—it is certainly making an impact!
A Vegetarian Spider?
I thought you might be interested in this news item I came across on Fox News regarding a “vegetarian spider.” The report claims: ‘"This is really the first spider known to specifically 'hunt' plants; it is also ...
No Surprise
Published October 10th, 2009 in My Journeys, Thoughts and Things
It is no surprise to find out that last weekend comedian and social commentator Bill Maher was given the “Richard Dawkins Award” at the 2009 15th Annual Atheist Alliance International convention in Los Angeles. The RDA is “given every year to honor an outstanding atheist whose contributions raise public awareness of the nontheist life stance; who through writings, media, the arts, film, and/or the stage advocates increased scientific knowledge; who through work or by example teaches acceptance of the nontheist philosophy; and whose public posture mirrors the uncompromising nontheist life stance of Dr. Richard Dawkins.”
We have blogged about Maher before ...
Did “Primitive Man” Use a GPS?
Published October 4th, 2009 in My Journeys, Thoughts and Things
A fascinating article appeared in the United Kingdom’s Telegraph recently which stated:
Prehistoric man navigated his way across England using a crude version of sat nav based on stone circle markers, historians have claimed.
The article went on to explain:
According to historian and writer Tom Brooks, the findings show that Britain's Stone Age ancestors were ''sophisticated engineers'' and far from a barbaric race.
Mr Brooks, from Honiton, Devon, studied all known prehistoric sites as part of his research. He said: ''To create these triangles with such accuracy would have required a complex understanding of geometry.
''The sides of some of the triangles are over ...
The Message Spreads
Published September 24th, 2009 in My Journeys, Thoughts and Things
It is thrilling to see how people are using Answers in Genesis resources to equip and challenge. I received an email advertising our very popular DVD apologetics series by Brian Edwards on How Do We Know the Bible is True? to be shown in a home in Rancho Santa Fe, California. How about considering doing something like this for your area?
Here is a sample of that home study group’s promotional materials:
“How Do We Know the Bible is True?”

Surprise, Surprise!
Published September 22nd, 2009 in Thoughts and Things
Now here is a surprise for you—a “godless atheist” who visited the Creation Museum gave a lecture at Purdue University yesterday against the Creation Museum. A “godless atheist” would disagree with what the Creation Museum teaches?!
The lecture was described this way:
When Dinosaurs Walk with God—A godless biologist’s trip to the Creation Museum Presentation . . . President of the Society of Non-Theists and Purdue senior majoring in Genetics and Evolution . . . This summer [she] visited the Creation Museum, a multi-million dollar enterprise by Answers in Genesis to spread the gospel of literal Biblical Creation. The ...
Same Old, Same Old
Published September 15th, 2009 in Feedback, Thoughts and Things
It’s sad, but a reality of this world is that Christian academics like Karl Giberson (whom I debated on belief.net—and is from Eastern Nazarene College and vice president of the BioLogos Foundation—see previous blog posts about his theology that undermines the authority of Scripture) use the same old false arguments against Answers in Genesis.
I guess if you throw enough mud, maybe some of it will stick.
Yesterday, on the well-visited site of belief.net, Giberson wrote about us:
The anti-evolutionary literature has been forever smearing evolution and, to a lesser degree, Darwin. Organizations like the Institute for Creation Research ...
