Recently, in my monthly letter to our AiG support base (and it was published on our website), I commented on and quoted from Dr. James F. McGrath, Clarence L. Goodwin Chair of New Testament Language and Literature at Butler University, Indianapolis. He has made a number of negative comments about me and AiG. In response to my letter, [...]

We knew that the gardens at the Creation Museum are beautiful in all seasons, but winters here are proving to be exceptional. An image of our pergola in winter has been awarded fourth place in the International Christian Artist Competition (ICAC). I have been told that this international competition receives over 600 entries from 30 [...]
While I was away, one of the pioneers in biblical, catastrophist geology—whose research we have used quite frequently—toured the Creation Museum this week. Dr. Steven Austin, who was on the staff of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) for several years, happened to be in the region and stopped by. He came not only to [...]
Back in 2007 (during the time the Creation Museum was opening), we had an interesting visit by well-known journalist A.J. Jacobs. He told us that he was writing another book, and it was to be entitled The Year of Living Biblically. (This title is a play on the 1980s movie The Year of Living Dangerously.) [...]

Many thousands of children, adults and teens were impacted, and we received many great testimonies. Here are some photographs taken during the weekend:

AiG’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs are gaining considerable popularity. More and more churches are giving us feedback that they are getting the best results from the children they have had in years of VBS programs! Over 3,000 churches have used AiG VBS programs this year.
The impact of last summer’s VBS program—on nearly 200,000 children who attended at churches all [...]
It has become a tradition each year now at the Creation Museum that over eight days (seven in December and one in January), a special live nativity, light show, dramas, and other exciting events are featured. Last year, 17,000 people came to this free event. This year, our “Christmas Town” (the original Christmas town was Bethlehem) program is even more spectacular [...]
This past Thursday, AiG staff had the privilege of hearing a presentation from a specialist doctor who changed from being an evolutionist to an on-fire biblical creationist. He now teaches others on the importance of taking Genesis as literal history. Dr. Doug Henry is a pediatrician, currently working at Ft. Campbell Army military base near Clarksville, TN. [...]
At this time, Dr. David Crandall and Dr. Andrew Snelling are leading 90 AiG supporters on a trip through Israel. But this is no ordinary tour—having creation geologist Andrew Snelling along gives this trip a real unique aspect. Andrew has been studying the geology of Israel to gain an understanding of how the geological formations [...]
There is a new college program seeking to hire two creationists with terminal degrees in biology.
We have heard good things about Dr. Emir Caner, the new president of Truett-McConnell College (a Southern Baptist school). The school hosted this summer’s joint meeting of the Creation Geology Society and the Creation Biology Study Group. He told the [...]
