New telescope for AiG

Recently a new telescope was donated to AiG. Our full-time astrophysicist, Dr. Jason Lisle, (who will also oversee planetarium programs for the Creation Museum) was thrilled to receive this generous donation from one of our supporters. I asked Jason to summarize the details of this exciting piece of equipment:

This new state-of-the-art telescope is a computer-controlled GPS 12-inch Schmidt–Cassegrain by Meade. A number of high-quality eyepieces and filters were included in this gift. Along with our other telescopes, this new instrument will allow our visitors to explore the glory of God (Psalm 19:1) with their own eyes during special night programs.

AiG MENTIONED IN LAWSUIT ARTICLE

You may be interested to read an article about a lawsuit over the teaching of Intelligent Design. The article begins: "Americans United for Separation of Church and State today filed a lawsuit in federal court in California to stop a public school district from teaching a course that promotes a religious perspective about the origins of life." Part of the way through the article, a mention is made of a video from Answers in Genesis that is listed as a part of this course. You can read the entire article at:

Common Dreams---Americans United Sues California School District Over 'Intelligent Design' Class

Well, I had a busy day with LOTS of meetings. Dr. David Menton addressed our staff this morning bringing a report on his recent speaking tour in Peru. A contractor arrives this Friday to begin installing the Grand Canyon walk-through exhibit as part of the Creation Museum. Everyone is busy catching up on finalizing end-of-year matters and gearing up for 2006.

Thanks for stopping by,
