You Are an Ape!

How would you like to have someone tell your children that they “are an ape”—that they are just an animal?
My wife and I—and our daughter—spent part of Thursday at the San Diego Zoo.  As we were looking through the gift store just before we left, I came across this book they were selling:

I opened to [...]

A Tsunami of Reminder

One of the points of contention between young-earth creationists and those who believe in an old earth is the global Flood of Noah’s day. If someone who believes the Bible wants to declare that the earth is billions of years old, to be consistent, they will typically deny a global Flood as well and say [...]

To Help Bring Reformation

Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).

Need More Than Just Exposure

Dr. Georgia Purdom—AiG speaker, researcher, and writer—recently wrote a blog item I wanted to share with all of you. It is a warning—even to parents who bring their children up on AiG apologetics resources.
As I read her blog post, I thought of these main points:

Opened in 1978, the park takes up 1,229 acres and is home to around 115 horses. Many people who come to visit our Creation Museum make the drive to visit the Kentucky Horse [...]

He Is Risen

Easter Cross in the garden

An AiG supporter provided each AiG staff member with a white cross, which we placed in our garden at the front of our house:

Now when people look at our garden, they see this:

Australia-Founded Travel Organization and Our Cincinnati Area

Because my homeland is Australia, I was intrigued by a connection between a large travel group—with dozens of travel guidebooks and a major website—and Cincinnati, as the Creation Museum is located in the Greater Cincinnati area.
First, though, you may recall from a blog post I wrote last month that AiG supporters—using social media—made the Creation [...]

Dealing with Physical and Spiritual Problems

Here are two examples of doctors who are supportive of AiG and are using AiG resources to reach their patients with the message of biblical authority and the gospel:
1. It is always refreshing to see the Word of God affect and transform people from all walks life. Recently, I received encouraging photos taken in the [...]

It’s God We Should Look Up To

Tweet from Miley Cyrus

This past week there were a number of news items about a Tweet sent out by singer Miley Cyrus.  What she did reminded me of how important it is that AiG is producing the Answers Bible Curriculum, as we will be—among many things in ABC—teaching character development. First of all, who is Miley Cyrus?
According to [...]

The Importance of a Book

When I was in university in Australia (1971–1974), I didn’t have any resources that gave answers to the evolution and millions of years issues. But someone gave me a booklet that discussed the topic of no death before sin and the fossil record being laid down by Noah’s Flood. Not long after that, I was [...]
