Whether it is atheist Eugenie Scott (who leads an anti-creation organization called NCSE), PZ Myers (biologist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota–Morris campus), or the author of the book Idiot America, such anti-Christians have mocked the Creation Museum for having a sculpted dinosaur (not an actual exhibit on dinosaurs) with a saddle on [...]
Following President Obama’s annual “State of the Union” January 27, 2010, I will offer AiG’s “State of the Nation ” speech as a live webcast from the Creation Museum on February 16, highlighting how far the U.S. has wandered from its moral foundations and calling Christians back to their biblical roots. The speech will [...]
Last week my wife and I—and AiG’s Dr. Jason Lisle and Dan Lietha—decided (as we are all somewhat science fiction fans) to watch the new movie Avatar. We were interested in two things:

As we think about the tens of thousands of people who died in the Haitian earthquake of last week, we should also be reminded that several thousand children perish each day around the world from hunger and malnutrition. The [...]
This past week, I wrote a short blog entry about the international atheist convention to be held in my homeland, Australia, this year, and commented that atheism is ultimately a meaningless philosophy. See previous blog. Well—that hit a touchy spot with many atheists, many of whom went ballistic on their blogs over my statements. So let’s just consider the down-to-earth practicalities [...]
Here is a special announcement all the way from Jerusalem—from ministry friend Tom Meyer. Tom spoke to our Israel tour group last April (where he recited the entire Book of Revelation—from memory!); later when he was in America (this past August), he did the Book of James from memory for our staff.
Shalom from Jerusalem. I [...]
