Misleading NPR Blog Post

Recently, a Dartmouth College professor wrote a blog post for National Public Radio (NPR) that cited one of our scientists. It is so frustrating to read such blog posts and know that its readers are being led astray by misinformation. As he quoted (or should I say misquoted) AiG researcher Dr. Georgia Purdom, [...]

Did Jesus Tell a Lie?

Jesus is the Son of God; He is the truth and the Word. If Jesus as the God-man told a lie, then the Bible is not the inerrant Word of God. If Jesus told a lie, then the Christian faith has no foundation, and the Bible would have to [...]

Entertainment that Promotes Evolution

Cirque du Soleil on Evolution
First of all—what is Cirque du Soleil?
From Wikipedia (not always reliable, but this description seems accurate) we read, “Cirque du Soleil (“Circus of the Sun”) is a Canadian entertainment company, self-described as a ‘dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment.’ Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.”

Flood Event Does in a Day What Mother Nature Would Take Hundreds of Years to Do

This was a headline in a newspaper in Australia this past November. Many of us probably remember the devastating floods that occurred in Australia last year, as they received headline news around the world.

Where Is Baker Publishing Group Heading?

Years ago, I always thought of Baker Publishing Group (originally known as Baker Book House) as a place that published a number of the best biblical creation books available (for instance, books by the late Dr. Henry M. Morris).
But just as we see compromise permeating the church, we also see the same compromise existing in many [...]

Public Schools Promoting a Religion

A newspaper report on Wednesday stated the following:
A pagan mother’s challenge to the distribution of donated Bibles at a local school has prompted the Buncombe County Board of Education to reevaluate its policies regarding religious texts.
Ginger Strivelli, who practices Witchcraft, a form of Paganism, said she was upset when her 12-year-old son came home from [...]

AiG Resources in Uganda

It’s always wonderful to host scientists here at the Creation Museum who have the highest credentials and who believe in the ministry of AiG, as we defend the Bible from its very first verse. Dr. Eric Norman (with a PhD in biochemistry) of Cincinnati is considered a world expert on Vitamin B-12 deficiency. He has [...]

Beware of What Is Not Said

Recently, a grandfather purchased a children’s book on Noah’s Ark for his grandchild. He thought the book could be trusted because the author is associated with a generally conservative Lutheran denomination. (In fact, we do have some great friends in this group. I and others at AiG have spoken at various of their conferences.)

The Straw Man of Anti-intellectualism

AiG has published a few articles and a review of the new book The Anointed over the past few weeks. Because this book gained prominence with a review in the New York Times newspaper last Sunday, we decided it was important to revisit this publication. The book hits at Answers in Genesis and a number [...]
