Dr. Terry Mortenson wound up his speaking ministry in Serbia (and Hungary before that) and is now in the Netherlands (Holland) for several days. Here are excerpts of his most-recent report to me and the staff:
It was a full weekend in Serbia. We arrived and started working on finishing the translation and formatting of [...]

Last Monday, yet another international TV outlet toured the Creation Museum. A three-member crew with NHK—the largest TV network in all of Japan, we understand—toured the museum and interviewed Patrick Marsh, our chief museum designer. It just so happens that Patrick lived in Japan for more than ten years before joining our staff. He felt, [...]

Fantastic New “Dynamation” for Kids

One of my favorite websites for kids (other than AiG’s own Kids Answers site, of course) is a site called “Kids4Truth.”
I encourage you to connect your kids to this website. We personally know the people behind this site, and they are good friends of AiG and ardent biblical creationists.
In particular, I love the “dynamations” they [...]

“America Is Doomed” If We Believe in Creation

In yet another ignorant editorial piece in a secular news source (The Rutland Herald, Vermont), we read such statements as:
It is profoundly important in a free society to respect an individual’s belief in the Bible; it just happens to be a lousy cornerstone for formulating a science program.  Increasingly, our on-again, off-again support for long-term [...]

I spoke to 6,400 people at Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz (near Tampa), Florida, yesterday.

We could have sent a lot more—there is such a hunger for AiG [...]

We not only see visitors from across the USA, Canada (in increasing numbers), Europe, Japan, and so on—but we have been seeing many more people coming from Australia. The news about the Creation Museum is spreading (though slowly) in my home country. This past week we had two great reports about Australian visitors. [...]
