I have a quiz for you today. Do you recognize these Australian animals? I recently took these pictures while wrapping up our time in major cities in Australia as part of the Gospel Reset Tour. It was such a blessing—but more on that after the quiz.</p><p>Can you identify these six animals?</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-1.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-2.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-3.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-4.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-5.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/03/aussie-animal-6.jpeg" alt="Australian animal"></li></ul></div></div><p>I’ll give you the correct answers at the end, but first I want to share a few stories from our incredible tour down under. The Lord really blessed this tour (involving myself, E.Z. Zwayne from Living Waters, Heidi St. John, and astronaut Barry Wilmore as speakers). We heard so many incredible stories, but I’ll share just three of my favorites:</p><ul><li>At the Brisbane conference, I met a man who was a student in one of the science classes I taught at Dalby High School (way back in 1975–76). He also said he was in Dalby Baptist Church with his parents in 1975 when I gave my first-ever creation apologetics talk. He was thrilled to attend the Brisbane conference.</li><li>At all the conferences (but especially in Brisbane), I met people who told me they heard me speak back in the 70s and 80s when they were children, and now they had brought their families to the conference to hear me. Many told me their parents supported us financially and made sure their children learned the material we were teaching. They are now continuing that spiritual legacy for the next generation.</li><li>One family told me they know someone who was in my science class in Dalby and that what I taught so impacted her, God used that to bring her to salvation.</li></ul><blockquote class="pull right">Praise the Lord for the continuing impact of ministry decades ago and ongoing ministry.</blockquote><p>Praise the Lord for the continuing impact of ministry decades ago and ongoing ministry. We pray that the Lord uses this tour to make a similar impact.</p><p>Let’s see how you did on the quiz. The animals are: a wombat, an echidna, a cassowary, a dingo, fruit (or flying fox) bats, and a pied cormorant.</p><p>Oh, and if you’d like more content like these testimonies and other behind-the-scenes stories, I encourage you to sign up for our <a href="https://answersingenesis.attn.tv/p/xQC/landing-page?">exclusive VIP emails</a> (and when you sign up, you’ll be entered to win an annual pass or even a lifetime pass to our attractions!).</p><p>Praise the Lord with us for what he’s doing through this ministry and please continue to pray for us.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

We’ve all seen diagrams of the evolutionary tree of life: a common trunk that rises up before splitting off into various branches which split into even more branches. This tree supposedly explains the origins of every species from a universal common ancestor that lived untold millions of years ago. But is it accurate?</p><p>Textbooks, video programs, and nearly every natural history museum in the US would say that, yes, it is. But this idea of an evolutionary tree of life faces an insurmountable problem: There’s no mechanism by which to push evolution forward!</p><blockquote class="pull right">This idea of an evolutionary tree of life faces an insurmountable problem: There’s no mechanism by which to push evolution forward!</blockquote><p>You see, to turn a single-celled organism into all the life forms we have today, you need a process that can create brand-new, functioning genetic information to code for all of the new features. But information only comes from other information! We’ve never observed information arising from non-information! There’s no law of nature that states this can happen. Quite the opposite, the law of biogenesis tells us life only comes from life! Yet evolution requires the accumulation of massive amounts of new information (and it has to be functional information for it to be of any evolutionary use!). But that’s <em>never</em> been observed.</p><p><strong>The evolutionary “tree of life” isn’t accurate—it’s a fairy tale that’s unsupported by the observational evidence.</strong></p><p>Dr. Terry Mortenson dismantles evolution, biblically and scientifically, in a one-hour video recently posted to our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel. I encourage you to watch and share it with others.</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

“Conference season” is beginning at the Ark Encounter with our sold-out Answers for Men event just around the corner and then our <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">Answers for Women</a>—two identical back-to-back conferences (one is already sold out)—followed by our unique <a href="/outreach/event/homeschool-conference-2026/">Answers Homeschool Experience</a>. And I thought I’d share with you some of the feedback we received last year because it highlights how powerful and unique our conferences really are.</p><p>These comments were left by women who attended our 2025 Answers for Women conference—we received hundreds of comments, and they nearly all had the same theme: “Truly ‘no fluff in your stuff’!” <b>Women left equipped and encouraged and challenged after times of biblical teaching, worship, and fellowship.</b></p><ul><li>“Going home to clean out my library.”</li><li>“I am convicted and challenged and uncomfortable—in the best way—I am going home fed and empowered with truth and a game plan: daily time in the Word, and holding EVERYTHING up to scripture.”</li><li>“My 13-year-old daughter and I have had some great discussions as a result of hearing the speakers.”</li><li>“I have been sick in a rut in my spiritual growth for a few years now. This conference was a wakeup call for me. I have new energy and conviction that I need to do more in Scripture and obedience.”</li><li>“I truly was so blessed by this conference. I was invited last second and took a leap of faith. I grew my faith exponentially, I was truly blown away. I am already signed up to come next year. I decided not to attend other conferences so I could come in the future. There is a plethora of things that I feel called to change in my life in result of this conference. I am grateful to the Lord and his provision!!!”</li><li>“I’ve been searching for a women’s conference that was not fluff and dealt with the hard topics of current culture. This has been incredibly helpful with so many sessions and speakers sprinkled with God honoring music and vendors. Thank you!”</li><li>“I appreciate the conversations my daughter and I had during the conference about the topics and she begged me to bring her next year.”</li><li>“Nothing fru-fru. Carnivore diet!”</li><li>“Loved the speakers, thank you for the meet &amp; greets! My daughter (13) gleans so much from the speakers!!! Good solid biblical truth to counteract the cultural influences in her life is SO WONDERFUL!!! I’m seeing God work in her and He’s growing me to be more solid in my understanding of Him and His Word as well. Thank you!!! Can’t wait for next year’s theme and speakers!!!”</li></ul><p>Yes, our conferences really are unique and filled with powerful teaching. I encourage you to make plans to attend one, such as Answers for Women 2026, happening April 6–8 at the Ark Encounter. This year’s theme is <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">Anchored: Pursuing Biblical Sexuality in a Turbulent World</a>. You won’t want to miss it! <b>Early bird pricing is still available</b>—register today (and bring your teenage daughters—so many women commented on the conversations they were able to have with their daughters during and after the conference). We hope to see you there!</p><div class="sidenote"><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/" target="_blank"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/outreach/event/og_image/answers-for-women-2026-anchored-sold-out.jpg" alt="Answers for Women weekday conference"></a></div><p>Thanks to our sponsors, BJU Press, <a href="https://www.mycccu.com/genesis/" target="_blank">Christian Community Credit Union</a>, Concerned Women for America, and Nutramax Laboratories for their support of this conference.</p><p>Find <a href="/outreach/">all our events on our calendar</a>.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,<br>Ken</p><p>This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.</p>

Most Christians know that our enemy, Satan, was originally an angel who served God before his pride led to rebellion and he was cast down to earth. But when did this event happen in history?</p><p>Some Christians put it between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, but there’s not <a href="/genesis/gap-theory/whats-in-the-gap/" >even a hint of this</a> in the text and it puts angelic sin in God’s original “very good” creation, so we know that option isn’t correct (this idea was merely invented as a way to accommodate millions of years). And Exodus 20:11 rules out any such gap as everything, from Genesis 1:1 and onward, was created in six days. So when did it happen?</p><p>Well, I’ve been asked this question a lot over the years, and we recently filmed a short video where I answer this question, starting with the biblical text.</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

There are so many more facets to the Answers in Genesis ministry than most people realize! Operating the world’s two leading Christian themed attractions means we’ve had to build a wide variety of teams to meet our guests’ needs—including our public safety team with our working canines. And that allows us to host a unique event: a K9 conference for law enforcement and others in public safety.</p><p>We recently hosted our fourth annual K9 conference at the Ark Encounter with a total of 50 K9 teams from across the United States participating in this four-day event. <strong>Throughout the conference, the K9s and their handlers engaged in over 30 scenarios set in various locations across the Ark Encounter property.</strong></p><p>This conference helps K9 handlers from law enforcement and the private sector enhance their training, handling, and performance. Master trainers from across the country shared their expertise to improve the teams’ skills. Sessions included lectures and hands-on activities regarding the use of K9s, imprinting on various odors (including explosives and narcotics), scenario-based odor detection training, box work, individual and team challenges, and more! The K9s and their handlers also went through a stress-test obstacle course that filled the entire Answers Center.</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-1.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-2.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-3.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-4.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-5.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-6.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-7.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-8.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-9.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-10.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-11.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/K9Conference-12.jpg" alt="K9 conference"></li></ul></div></div><p>This conference continues to grow every year as word spreads throughout the K9 handler community. Not only will this kind of training help save lives, but the officers who participated also had an opportunity (which was optional) to hear the gospel and the message of the truth of God’s Word. Praise the Lord!</p><p>We’re thrilled our Department of Public Safety can work with outside law enforcement to help all of them provide the best level of security they can in this troublesome world (even if <a href="/blogs/ken-ham/2025/07/11/local-courier-journal-maligns-us-again/" >atheists get mad</a> that it’s Christians offering this world-class training!).</p><p>Please pray the Lord uses their time at the Ark—not just that they’ll be better equipped to serve as a result of the training they received, but that seeds of the gospel were planted and watered and will lead to an abundant harvest.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

What’s the most important part of a church service?</p><p>From the beginning of this ministry, I have given testimony of my parents raising their children to stand on the authority of God’s Word, never knowingly compromise God’s Word, and have a heart for reaching people with the gospel message.</p><div class="sidenote right"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/Kens-parents.jpg" alt="Ken Ham’s parents" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>I have testified many times of my father’s leadership of my family and how he led us to stand boldly on the Bible’s authority. We all saw our parents’ love for God and his Word and their heart for the gospel. I can’t emphasize the impact our parents had on our lives enough. As I’ve often stated, Answers in Genesis is part of the legacy of our godly parents.</p><p>What a blessing it was recently when I received the following testimony from a lady in Australia after she read the book that details the history of Answers in Genesis from my birth to the present. What I loved is that she testified to what I’ve always said about my parents. She wrote:</p><blockquote><p>I recently ordered a copy of Ken Ham’s new book <cite>Miraculous!</cite> and have been absolutely astounded at what has been achieved from Ken’s very humble beginnings as a high school teacher.</p><p><span data-disable-autolink>For several years in the late 1970s, I attended the Acacia Ridge Presbyterian Church in Brisbane. Ken and Marylyn (Mally) and several of their young children were there, along with Ken’s sister Rosemary and her husband Paul, and their young twins, another sister Beverly (a friend of mine in the church youth group), and of course, Ken’s parents, Merv and Norma. On more than one occasion, I was invited to Merv and Norma’s home, probably for Sunday lunch. At the time, I was a trainee nurse at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane and a fairly young Christian.</span></p><p><span data-disable-autolink>As I have read the book, I have reflected on many things. Norma always said that when Ken was very ill with sepsis, she believed he would be healed and was destined to do great things for God. At times, Merv preached or spoke at the church, and I have never forgotten him reading the Scriptures one Sunday morning and stating that the reading of the Bible in a church service was the most important part of the whole service. Such godly people, and I am forever indebted to so many people who were influential in my life when I was a fledgling Christian.</span></p><p><span data-disable-autolink>In recent times I came across some children’s books written by Ken and purchased some for my grandsons—how wonderfully written they are and much appreciated by our family. I have since ordered more resources to give out at Christmastime to younger members of our family and friends—I am passionate that children should grow up with a knowledge of the Scriptures. I might also add that I have always been a believer in the literal biblical account of creation.</span></p><p>Some of the accounts in <cite>Miraculous!</cite> are nail-biting to say the least and a testament to faith, prayer, and the hand and provision of God.</p></blockquote><p>As I read this testimony, the following words really stood out to me. <strong>She wrote that my father said that “the reading of the Bible in a church service was the most important part of the whole service.”</strong> I must admit I had forgotten that he often said that. After reading it, I could “hear” my father saying exactly that. But note the impact my father’s stand (and my mother’s stand too) had on this person so many years ago. And who knows how many more people were impacted by my parents—not counting the millions now impacted through Answers in Genesis. I know there had to be so many others impacted directly by their lives as they proclaimed and lived out the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.</p><div class="sidenote"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/open-bible.jpg" alt="an open Bible" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>As we are in the second month of this new year, I want to once again emphasize that Answers in Genesis is really an evangelistic biblical authority ministry. That’s always been our focus. In our day, the lies of evolution/millions of years have been a major part of the attacks on biblical authority, particularly on the authority of Genesis 1–11. This is why we have also specialized in providing resources to teach creation apologetics (as well as general apologetics) in regard to a defense of the Christian faith.</p><blockquote class="pull right">He was always emphasizing the authority of God’s Word.</blockquote><p>Every time my father was reading scripture and he came across phrases like “it is written,” “thus says the Lord,” and so on, he would stop and talk about the authority of the Word of God. He was always emphasizing the authority of God’s Word. And depending on which translation you use, phrases like “thus says the <span class="smallCaps">Lord</span>” or “thus says Yahweh” (<a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>) occur 3–400 times throughout Scripture.</p><p>As we are in the early part of a new year, I thought it would be good to ponder some special verses from Scripture which remind us of the vital importance of the Word of God (all from the <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>):</p><blockquote class="scripture">All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be equipped, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">Forever, O Yahweh, Your word stands firm in heaven. (Psalm 119:89)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">Do not add to His words lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar. (Proverbs 30:6)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what pleases Me, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)</blockquote><p>And ponder the events Nehemiah records:</p><blockquote class="scripture">And all the people gathered as one man at the square which was in front of the Water Gate, and they said to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses which Yahweh had commanded to Israel.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. And he read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the ears of the people were attentive to the book of the law.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Then Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God. And all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground. (Nehemiah 8:1, 3, 5–6 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>Do you think we would have the patience to hear the Word of God read from early morning to midday? And consider this, when Ezra opened the book, “all the people stood up.” Wow! What reverence and respect for God’s Word!</p><p>Over the past 50 years, I have visited hundreds of churches from many different denominations. In some churches they sit down to sing and stand up to pray and read God’s Word. For some, they stand to sing and sit down to pray. In some churches they don’t even sit down! But when I read Ezra, I think, “Did they stand up for the whole morning while Ezra read from God’s Word?” Scripture tells us they stood for about six hours! Would any of us be prepared to do that today? I must admit with my chronic back issues, I couldn’t stand that long, but I think God would understand the effects of the fall causing me problems.</p><p>How many people in our churches do you think would have such reverence and respect of God’s Word as the people in Ezra’s day did? Now, please don’t get me wrong. I love music and love singing and praising God. But sometimes I wonder if the emphasis in a lot of churches today is much more on music than it is on the reading and preaching of the Word.</p><div class="sidenote left"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/lloyd-jones3.jpg" alt="Martyn Lloyd-Jones" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>My favorite expositional preacher is Martyn Lloyd-Jones. He preached at Westminster Church in London during the last century. He was a phenomenal defender of the Christian faith and preached a lot on the importance of biblical authority. He greatly challenged the church on this topic. In one of his published sermons on the authority of Scripture based on Ephesians 6:14, he stated the following:</p><blockquote><p>There can be no doubt whatsoever that all the troubles in the Church today, and most of the troubles in the world, are due to a departure from the authority of the Bible. And, alas, it was the Church herself that led in the so-called Higher Criticism that came from Germany just over a hundred years ago. Human philosophy took the place of revelation, man’s opinions were exalted and Church leaders talked about “the advance of knowledge and science,” and “the assured results” of such knowledge. The Bible then became a book just like any other book, out of date in certain respects, wrong in other respects, and so on. It was no longer a book on which you could rely implicitly. There is no question at all that the falling away, even in Church attendance, in this country is the direct consequence of the Higher Criticism. The man in the street says, “What do these Christians know? It is only their opinion, they are just perpetrating something that the real thinkers and scientists have long since seen through and have stopped considering.” Such is the attitude of the man in the street! He does not listen any longer, he has lost all interest. The whole situation is one of drift; and very largely, I say, it is the direct and immediate outcome of the doubt that has been cast by the Church herself upon her only real authority. Men’s opinions have taken the place of God’s truth, and the people in their need are turning to the cults, and are listening to any false authority that offers itself to them.</p><p>We all therefore have to face this ultimate and final question: Do we accept the Bible as the Word of God, as the sole authority in all matters of faith and practice, or do we not? Is the whole of my thinking governed by Scripture, or do I come with my reason and pick and choose out of Scripture and sit in judgment upon it, putting myself and modern knowledge forward as the ultimate standard and authority? The issue is crystal clear. Do I accept Scripture as a revelation from God, or do I trust to speculation, human knowledge, human learning, human understanding and human reason? Or, putting it still more simply, Do I pin my faith to, and subject all my thinking to, what I read in the Bible? Or do I defer to modern knowledge, to modern learning, to what people think today, to what we know at this present time which was not known in the past? It is inevitable that we occupy one or the other of those two positions.<a class="ftn_link js-ftnLink" id="ftnLink_1-1" title="Footnote 1" href="#fn_1">1</a></p></blockquote><p>Wow! You would think he was preaching to the church today! This message he gave in the twentieth century is just as relevant in the twenty-first century. Really, this message he preached is the same message Answers in Genesis is preaching—and it’s the same message my father preached!</p><p>The solution to the social and moral issues and the solution for a lukewarm and compromising church is God’s authoritative Word and the gospel (there are, of course, exceptions). God’s Word and the gospel have always been the solution to man’s problems ever since Genesis 3, which we see in the prophecy in Genesis 3:15.</p><p>At Answers in Genesis, we will continue to proclaim the gospel as we stand on the authority and truth of God’s Word from Genesis 1:1 without compromise.</p><p><b>Your prayers and financial support are vital to helping us boldly continue the ministry that the Lord has called us to do—would you prayerfully consider sending a generous gift today at <a href="/donate/" >AnswersDonate.com</a>?

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/grand-canyon-tours.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
Millions of Americans visit national parks every year. And millions of Americans are indoctrinated with evolutionary and long-ages teachings by the explanatory signs at these attractions. You really can’t trust these signs—they certainly aren’t written from a biblical-worldview perspective. So how should you address these signs with your kids while you’re on vacation?</p><p>Well, here are my top three tips:</p><ol><li><strong>Use these signs as an opportunity to help kids understand that we all have the same evidence.</strong> We have the same rocks, the same canyons, the same arches, the same fossils. But we come to different interpretations because of our different starting points—either man’s word or God’s Word.</li><li><strong>Use the signs as an opportunity to highlight the difference between historical and observational science.</strong> Observational science is directly testable, observable, and repeatable. Historical science is an interpretation of the past, and your worldview shapes your interpretation. Have fun reading signs and figuring out together which claims are based on observational science and which are based on historical science.</li><li><strong>Teach your kids to ask good questions.</strong> When you read claims on signage, ask, “How do they know that?” or “What evidence are they using to support that?” Like I’ve taught thousands of kids over the years, when we see claims about the past that contradict God’s Word, we should ask, “Were you there?” And the answer is no—no scientist, no human being (including me!), was there, but God was. And he’s given us a perfect eyewitness account of the past in his Word. This account (creation, the fall, the flood, and Babel) gives us the framework we need to properly interpret the evidence we have in the present.</li></ol><p><span data-disable-autolink>If you’d like to visit one park—Grand Canyon—without having to reinterpret the signs, consider a trip with Canyon Ministries. Not only do they offer <a href="https://canyonministries.org/tours/" target="_blank">rim tours from a biblical worldview</a>, but they offer <a href="https://canyonministries.org/river-trips/" target="_blank">exciting trips</a> down the Colorado River inside the canyon. <a href="https://canyonministries.org/tour-item/july-7-13-2026-7-day-river-trip/" target="_blank">One such trip</a>, coming up this summer (July 7–13, 2026), features AiG’s Roger Patterson and creation geologist Dr. John Whitmore. It’ll be an unforgettable time of apologetics, fellowship, and excitement.</span></p><div class="sidenote"><div class="js-mediaEmbed mediaEmbed mediaEmbedVideo"><div class="videoEmbed js-videoEmbed"><video class="js-video video jsHide" src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/vid/blog/ken-ham/2026/2/GrandCanyonPromo.mp4"  controls="controls" analytic="Grand Canyon Tour Promo"

February 14 is Valentine’s Day, but I won’t discuss the history of this holiday as it may ruin it for you!</p><p>Instead, could you imagine your wife, fiancée, or girlfriend agreeing to go out with you for dinner on Valentine’s Day if you said to her, “You speak as one of the wickedly foolish women speaks,” and then you said, “My breath is offensive to [you]”?</p><p>I think that might be the end of that dinner plan!</p><p>But those are things Job said concerning his wife (see Job 2:10 and 19:17 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>). Now, remember why he said what he did. When all the bad things happened to Job, his wife said, “Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>).</p><p>Job saw his wife’s words lacking wisdom and faith. That’s why he also said in verse 10, “Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept calamity?” And that verse goes on to note: “In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”</p><blockquote class="pull right">He remained faithful to her.</blockquote><p>The Scriptures make it clear that Job did not sin with all he said. So even though those words to his wife sound very negative, he obviously loved her and was committed to her. Despite his overwhelming suffering and his wife’s seeming bitterness for all that happened to them—after all, she lost children too—he remained faithful to her. From the text, it certainly seems she was still with him and bore him 10 more children after all his sorrows ended. Later on in Job, we get a sense of how faithful he was to her. One particular verse stands out that should challenge every man concerning how he should view his wife, fiancée, or girlfriend. This is the verse:</p><blockquote class="scripture">I have cut a covenant with my eyes; How
then could I gaze at a virgin? (Job 31:1 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>I love what theologian John Gill said about this verse:</p><blockquote>Not to look upon a woman, and wantonly gaze at her beauty, lest his heart should be drawn thereby to lust after her; for the eyes are inlets to many sins, and particularly to uncleanness, of which there have been instances, both in bad men and good men.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. As if he had bound himself by a covenant, made a resolution in the strength of divine grace, not to employ his eyes in looking on objects that might ensnare his heart, and lead him to the commission of sin; he made use of all ways and means, and took every precaution to guard against it; and particularly this, to shut or turn his eyes from beholding what might be alluring and enticing to him.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. He made a covenant with his eyes, to prevent any impure thoughts, desires, and inclinations in him; for the eye affects the heart, and stirs up lust in it, and excites unclean thoughts and unchaste desires: this shows that the thought of sin is sin.<a class="ftn_link js-ftnLink" id="ftnLink_1-2" title="Footnote 1" href="#fn_1">1</a></blockquote><p>What a great admonition for every male who takes his valentine out for Valentine’s Day. Don’t look on other women and lust in your heart. Remain pure like Job did. Even after his wife said things that hurt him, Job remained faithful and loved her, showing his total commitment to her as his wife. He only had eyes for her.</p><p>As we read in Ecclesiastes 9:9 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>, “See life with the woman whom you love all the days of your vain life, which He has given to you under the sun.”</p><p>And for husbands, take this verse to heart: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>).</p><p>Men, I challenge you to treat your valentine like Job treated his—pursuing purity within yourself and remaining faithful, committed, and loving.</p><div><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2026/02/valentines-day-heart.jpg" alt="Valentine’s Day heart" class="js-enlargeImage"></div>

It’s no secret that many secular colleges and universities today (and, sadly, a number of compromising Christian colleges too) are little more than schools of leftist indoctrination. Because of the godless worldview that dominates secular education, many Christian parents and students look into Christian colleges—but it’s important to know that not all Christian schools are good choices!</p><p>Sadly, many (most, really) Christian schools have compromised on the truth of God’s Word. Instead of standing firm on biblical authority, many allow man to be the authority as they teach—or at least tolerate—evolution, millions of years, LGBTQ, critical race theory, and more. So how can you know whether a Christian college is a solid college that will build up your (or your child’s) faith or one that will subtly undermine it?</p><p>Well, I encourage you to start with three things.</p><ol><li><strong>Read their statement of faith.</strong> A vague or very short statement of faith could be a warning that the school has little theological depth and is therefore more likely to compromise on the truth of Scripture.</li><li><strong>Spend time on their social media.</strong> Who are they platforming? What sorts of events are they hosting? What kind of language are they using—or not using? What commentary do they post about hot-button issues? All of these can give you an idea about what the college really believes and actively teaches the students.</li><li><strong>Sit down with or interview someone at the institution</strong> if their statement of faith looks robust and biblical and if their social media doesn’t raise any red flags. Ask really probing questions about what they teach concerning creation and the age of the earth (don’t just ask if they believe God created—they will almost always say yes, even if they mean he created via evolution—ask very specific questions). And ask about various cultural issues. If they hesitate in answering, are vague, or are very wishy-washy, that’s a good indication they’ve compromised in some way. If you can, ask students what the college is <em>actually</em> like. This gives you a perspective other than what paid staff say!</li></ol><p>And if you’re not sure where to begin in a college search, we want to help.</p><p>Each fall, we offer a free <a href="/outreach/event/creation-college-expo-2026/">Creation College Expo</a> at the Ark Encounter. This event gathers schools from across the nation into one place so you can chat one-on-one with representatives. Each school has been vetted by us for their stand on biblical authority (though, of course, we encourage everyone to do their own due diligence in researching the schools). This year’s event is November 5–7, 2026, and a list of participating schools is already available <a href="/outreach/event/creation-college-expo-2026/">on our website</a> if you want to get a head start on your search.</p><blockquote class="pull right">They emphasize the sufficiency of the Word of God in all areas of life—a value that’s reflected in the classroom, where the Bible is the foundation of every course taught.</blockquote><p>One of those colleges is <a href="https://abc.edu/" target="_blank">Appalachian Bible College</a>, an official AiG partner school. They emphasize the sufficiency of the Word of God in all areas of life—a value that’s reflected in the classroom, where the Bible is the foundation of every course taught. And to further their mission of equipping men and women to serve the Lord, they even provide a scholarship that covers 100% of tuition for first-time, full-time residential students.</p><p>If you’re looking for a Christian college that stands rooted in God’s Word and won’t plant seeds of doubt in your child or teach them to compromise, I encourage you to check out <a href="https://abc.edu/" target="_blank">Appalachian Bible College</a>.</p><p>And be sure to register today for our free <a href="/outreach/event/creation-college-expo-2026/">Creation College Expo</a> so you can visit their booth, and many others, in person.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

In my 50 years of creation ministry, I’ve had many people tell me that God gave us “two books”—the Bible and nature—and that both are equally valid for discovering truth. But is nature really the 67th book of the Bible?</p><p>Well, it’s important to understand two things.</p><ol><li><strong>This claim is made to accommodate evolution and millions of years.</strong> Those who say nature is the 67th book are not talking about general revelation in the sense of Romans 1—that God’s existence and power are obvious to everyone through what he has made. Rather, they’re claiming man’s <em>interpretation</em> (i.e., evolution and millions of years) of the evidence is “the book of nature”—even though such ideas contradict God’s written Word!</li><li><strong>Nature is cursed.</strong> We aren’t looking at the world as God made it. According to biblical history, we’re looking at a creation that was once “very good” but is now cursed with death and suffering (because of sin) and was judged by a global flood. We can’t look at this creation and figure out what happened in the past without the eyewitness revelation of the Creator (given in Genesis 1–11).</li></ol><p>No, nature isn’t the 67th book of the Bible. Rather than accepting man’s ideas about the past and forcing them into Scripture, we must always start with Scripture first and allow God’s Word to be our authority.</p><p>You can learn more about this topic in this short YouTube video from my channel:</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

At the <a href="https://creationmuseum.org/" target="_blank" >Creation Museum</a>, we have an exhibit throughout our portico that highlights dragon legends from history. But these stories represent only a fraction of the legends found around the world regarding scaly, dragon-like creatures. Do these stories have any grounding in reality?</p><p>Well, evolutionists have a hard time explaining the global prevalence of dragon legends. But in a biblical worldview, the similarity many of the descriptions bear to real creatures—dinosaurs—is not surprising.</p><p>Dinosaurs were created alongside mankind on day six of creation week, and two of each kind survived Noah’s flood on the ark. After the flood, men and dinosaurs lived alongside each other until the eventual extinction of the dinosaurs. But it’s certainly possible the stories of people and dinosaurs existing together live on in dragon legends (even if these stories are somewhat exaggerated at times!). </p><p><b>But can we match dragon legends with actual dinosaurs known from the fossil record?</b> Joel Leineweber, a paleoartist and our VP of design at AiG, believes we can, and he presented his research in a live presentation at the Creation Museum that was later posted to our YouTube channel. I encourage you to watch this fascinating presentation:</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

A big evolutionary problem just got bigger!</p><p>In the evolutionary worldview, birds evolved from dinosaurs—first emerging around 150 million years ago, according to an evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record. But evolutionists have a problem—<a href="https://www.discovermagazine.com/how-ai-is-solving-some-of-paleontology-s-biggest-dinosaur-footprint-mysteries-48597" target="_blank">a set of footprints</a> that are “nearly indistinguishable” from fossil and modern bird footprints and yet are a supposed 60 million years older than birds!</p><p>To help solve this evolutionary puzzle, and to ensure the footprints really are “birdlike,” the researchers used a new AI model to analyze and categorize the footprints. This AI is designed to be “a mathematical unbiased point of view&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. to assist human experts [in] interpreting the data.” And what did this unbiased AI conclude? After analyzing 2,000 dinosaur tracks, it concluded these “ambiguous” ones resembled those from&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. birds!</p><blockquote><p>Those ambiguous cases proved the most revealing. Several three-toed footprints more than 200 million years old clustered with fossil and modern birds rather than with non-avian dinosaurs. If true birds made those tracks, they would push the origin of birds tens of millions of years earlier than the oldest known bird skeletons.</p><p>The results may show that some early dinosaurs had feet or modes of walking that closely resembled those of birds, producing nearly indistinguishable tracks long before birds evolved. Either way, the findings suggest that the transition toward bird-like feet began earlier and more gradually than the body fossil record alone indicates.</p></blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">Because evolution is a worldview based on man’s fallible beliefs, it’s so plastic, evolutionists can change their ideas to fit anything they find!</blockquote><p>Note their response to this very unexpected (according to the evolutionary story) result—it’s never to question their evolutionary assumptions! Rather, they assume that early dinosaurs must’ve just walked like birds or that birds evolved earlier than they’d thought (and that’s no small tweak—that calls for a rewrite of how birds must’ve evolved). But because evolution is a worldview based on man’s fallible beliefs, it’s so plastic, evolutionists can change their ideas to fit anything they find!</p><p>Joel Leineweber, our VP of design and a paleoartist, put out a short video on this new study and what it means for the creation-evolution debate.

The issue is a battle between two worldviews—and two interpretations of the evidence—because of two different starting points (God’s Word or man’s word) and hard hearts that don’t want to accept the truth of God’s Word.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

One of the classic arguments for the existence of a Creator God is that order doesn’t come from disorder. In other words, our universe is precisely ordered—from the movements of the planets in their orbits to the structure of atoms. Everything is amazingly precise and orderly, and that couldn’t have come from a random universe that began with a “big bang.” But a <a href="https://x.com/LyingWrongAgain/status/2015459692848337176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2015459692848337176%7Ctwgr%5E7c4a795cfa23bdaf52ddf0624811e254747f4e9b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.clickup.com%2Ft%2F86dzfmyw2" target="_blank">viral video</a> claims to disprove this idea by supposedly showing order coming from disorder.</p><p>In the video, a person picks up a box of jumbled up nails and shakes the box until all of the nails fall into neat, orderly lines. Above the video, the text reads:</p><blockquote><p>Religious apologist: science actually proves my faith</p><p>Me: how so?</p><p>RA: because science proves order cannot come from disorder</p><p>Me: oh?</p></blockquote><p>Now, of course, it’s obvious a human made the nails, a human made the box, a human shook the box (not too hard, not too soft), and therefore intelligence was involved in the whole process. But, in a series of responses to criticisms such as that, the X user shows other videos of “order” coming from disorder and showing the scientific principles behind it (such as crystals and minerals forming in highly organized patterns, seemingly without an intelligence behind them).</p><p>But this individual is missing an important point—there are immaterial laws governing why nails shaken in a box will align themselves or why crystals will form in precise ways. And where do immaterial laws of nature and physics come from?</p><p>In a completely material, naturalistic universe—such as the one this X user presumably believes in (and that atheists believe in)—there can’t be immaterial laws of physics and nature. After all, where do they come from? How does a materialistic process create something immaterial? And why should those laws work everywhere and work the same every time, thus allowing us to trust the uniformity of nature?</p><blockquote class="pull right">The viral video merely shows that there are immaterial laws of nature that work because there is a Creator—the God of the Bible—who designed these laws and upholds his creation.</blockquote><p>The viral video merely shows that there are immaterial laws of nature that work because there is a Creator—the God of the Bible—who designed these laws and upholds his creation. And that same God loves us so much that he stepped into the world he created, in the person of Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sin so we could be forgiven.</p><p>If you’d like to learn more about how to respond to atheistic arguments—such as that nail video—I encourage you to check out a new book I served as general editor on: <a href="/store/product/defending-gods-existence/"><cite>Defending God’s Existence</cite></a>.

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/gay-people-pexels.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
A recent opinion piece in <cite>The New York Times</cite> claims, “Americans are turning against gay people.” A host of <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/anti-gay-bias-surging-sharply-among-least-expected-groups-report/ar-AA1UwbZY" target="_blank">similar articles</a>—with perhaps less provocative titles—appeared in other news outlets highlighting the findings of two research psychologists who claim that since 2020, “support for gay people [has begun] to ‘sharply reverse’”—especially among young people.</p><p>According to the research, “anti-gay bias trends ‘were distinctly robust among the youngest American adults — those under 25. This group increased its animus against marginalized groups in general and gay people in particular at a faster rate than older Americans did.’”</p><p>Overall, 71% of Americans said homosexuality is “morally acceptable” in 2022, but that number dropped to 64% by the next year. Apparently, it was among young people that the drop was most noticeable. Why? Well, the researchers don’t know, but they speculate,</p><blockquote>Gay and lesbian people, newly woven into the fabric of mainstream society, may have been collateral damage in a broader revolt against a system that felt broken, especially among younger generations grappling most intensely with uncertainty about their future.</blockquote><p>Whatever the reasons, it seems the tide of public opinion might be changing, especially within the younger generations (and several articles highlighted this change specifically among young men). But think about who has been discipling the younger generations for the past few years—popular online influencers.</p><blockquote class="pull right">These younger generations desperately need to be discipled by Christians so they can think properly, with a biblical worldview, and know the gospel message and understand the truth about gender based on God’s Word.</blockquote><p>With the advent of the smartphone, many (probably most) from the younger generations have spent countless hours online, listening to podcasts and online influencers—many of whom preach a worldview that may align with <em>some</em> “conservative” values (such as heterosexual marriage) but that are anti-biblical in many ways. It’s likely these younger generations aren’t rejecting homosexuality because they understand the biblical sexual ethic but for other reasons. These younger generations desperately need to be discipled by Christians so they can think properly, with a biblical worldview, and know the gospel message and understand the truth about gender based on God’s Word.</p><p>It’s not enough that support for homosexuality is dropping. We need generations raised to think biblically about all aspects of sexuality and marriage—and that means parents, churches, and Christians whom God has given a platform online need to be boldly sharing the biblical truth about sexuality. Are you equipping your kids and young people, not to be “anti-gay” as our culture defines it, but to be biblical in all areas—including every area of sexuality?</p><p>I challenge you to really think about this in regard to the young people God has given you influence over! And remember, <b>having a biblical worldview based on God’s Word will conflict with the secular worldview based on man’s word—but that’s not hate speech</b>.</p><p>We’re here to help you think biblically and be equipped to speak the truth on these issues, particularly with our upcoming <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">Answers for Women weekday conference</a>, April 6–8, 2026, at the Ark Encounter. The theme this year is Anchored: Pursing Biblical Sexuality in a Turbulent World. You’ll discover biblical truth on a wide range of culturally relevant topics from speakers such as:</p><ul><li>Megan Basham</li><li>Dr. Rosaria Butterfield</li><li>Dr. Christopher Yuan</li><li>Dr. Albert Mohler</li><li>Heidi St. John</li><li>And more—including myself and Dr. Georgia Purdom</li></ul><div class="sidenote"><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/outreach/event/og_image/answers-for-women-2026-anchored-sold-out.jpg" alt="Answers for Women conference"></a></div><p>Don’t miss this conference! The women who attend rave about the depth of the biblical teaching, the fellowship, and the times of worship—this year featuring a concert by Shane and Shane. Our duplicate weekend conference is already sold out, and the early bird special for the weekday conference ends January 31. <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">Register today!</a> And consider bringing your daughters (ages 12 and up)—it really will be a worldview-shaping time for them.</p><p>A huge thank-you to our sponsors, BJU Press, <a href="https://www.mycccu.com/genesis/" target="_blank">Christian Community Credit Union</a>, Concerned Women for America, and Nutramax Laboratories, for their support of this event.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

If you’ve never seen a glacier, you’re missing out. They really are magnificent, and pictures can never quite capture their enormity or the wonder they evoke. But have you ever wondered why earth has glaciers in the first place?</p><blockquote class="pull right">It’s this flood, the global flood of Noah’s day, that’s key to understanding why we have glaciers today.</blockquote><p>Well, they weren’t created by God during creation week. Keep in mind there was only one continent before the flood, as Genesis 1:9 indicates, which means the continents we know today were not in their present locations at that time but were broken apart and rapidly moved during the flood. And even if glaciers did exist in the preflood world, they would’ve been destroyed during the flood. But it’s this flood, the global flood of Noah’s day, that’s key to understanding why we have glaciers today.</p><p>You see, the glaciers were formed after the flood (as a result of the flood), during the ice age, just a few thousand years ago. This ice age—the only one in earth’s history—was brought on by the unique conditions of the flood:</p><ul><li>Geologic, tectonic, and volcanic activity would’ve warmed the oceans, leading to an excess of evaporation.</li><li>Aerosols, ash, and other volcanic matter would’ve remained trapped in the atmosphere for years, reflecting sunlight into space and cooling the continents, leading to very cold winters and cool summers for much of the earth.</li></ul><p>Those unique conditions would’ve led to snow, snow, and more snow! It piled up and, with cooler summers, wouldn’t have fully melted—leading to the rapid (in decades or a few centuries) formation of ice sheets that covered 30 percent of the globe, including as far south as Northern Kentucky, where we’re located.</p><p>As earth settled down, those glaciers retreated to their current positions in the extreme north and south. And that’s why we have glaciers today! <b>They didn’t form slowly over hundreds of thousands of years. Rather, they formed rapidly during a unique time in earth’s history.</b></p><p>And you have a wonderful opportunity to experience these glaciers—along with Alaskan wildlife, coastal scenery, and more—during a special <a href="/outreach/event/alaska-cruise/">teaching cruise</a> with Answers in Genesis and InGrace Ministries, May 23–30, 2026.</p><div class="sidenote"><div class="js-mediaEmbed mediaEmbed mediaEmbedVideo"><div class="videoEmbed js-videoEmbed"><video class="js-video video jsHide" src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/vid/events/promos/2026-alaska-cruise-promo-01.mp4"  controls="controls" analytic="2026 Alaska Cruise Promo"

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/lying-bed-phone-pexels.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
A very sad lifestyle choice came to my attention recently. Believe it or not, it’s called “tangping,” which translates in English to “<a href="https://prescottenews.com/2026/01/20/seeing-no-hope-for-the-future-chinas-youth-are-choosing-failure-the-epoch-times/" target="_blank">lying flat</a>,” and it is basically rebellion, apathy, and despair all rolled into one. According to the article,</p><blockquote><p>Lying flat emerged four years ago as a counterculture movement to the Chinese regime’s draconian pandemic lockdowns. Chinese youth, rejecting the grueling rat race, sought a different lifestyle: doing the bare minimum.</p><p>They have since taken it to another level. Ignoring the urging from Chinese authorities to work hard, they call themselves “rat people” and spend their days “rotting” in bed.</p><p>The days they document on Chinese social media go something like this: crawling out of bed around noon or later, showering, cooking or ordering takeout, eating while scrolling their phones, more bedtime, then more food and doomscrolling—or gaming—until the wee hours.</p></blockquote><p>The job market in China has basically dried up, and college graduates are scrambling to find any jobs they can get, mostly involving food service and delivery jobs. This has dashed their expectations and hope. This has also led to falling marriage rates and a decline in families. Most young people interviewed had the same thing to say: “I have no desire for dating or marriage, let alone children. I can barely sustain myself.”</p><blockquote><p>Alan Li, 22, has been in the courier service for three years in the southeastern Chinese city of Suzhou. To save money on rent, he lives in a tent under a bridge.</p><p>“Marriage is for rich people,” he told The Epoch Times. “Do you have a house, car, or savings? What will our children eat after marrying? Will there be money for baby formula?”</p><p>“It’s way too much pressure.”</p></blockquote><p>And this “lying flat” movement has generated some disturbing trends in society—like young adults buying pacifiers for themselves; calling each other (and strangers) “baby”; waiting in lines for mental health clinics; and even “zero cost survival,” which sometimes means scouring food market dumpsters for discarded produce and living in tents or staying with parents indefinitely.</p><p>Recently, “China has been investing more in ideological indoctrination, mandating that all college majors study Marxism, Xi Jinping Thought, and Chinese socialism.” And how is that working for them? The article goes on to say that what the CCP preaches contradicts reality: “If the Party is so great as they claim, then why are people in such a mess?”</p><blockquote class="pull right">Since those world systems are incompatible with Christianity, they produce hopelessness while at the same time destroying the family.</blockquote><p>This should be taken as a warning to Western nations as well. Communism and socialism are not the answers to the world’s problems. Since those world systems are incompatible with Christianity, they produce hopelessness while at the same time destroying the family. And sadly, there are politicians implementing socialism in the USA! It will be a disaster here as it has been everywhere else it’s been tried. So what is the solution to this epidemic of hopelessness in China?</p><p><b>It is the gospel, which not only saves us but also gives us hope.</b> Ephesians 2:12–13 tells us that before we were saved, we were without hope. But Romans 5:1–2 tells us, “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”</p><p>As I’ve detailed <a href="/culture/teach-your-children-about-jesus-china-says-no/" >before</a>,</p><blockquote>
    Chinese Christians can’t legally host Sunday school classes, bring their children to church, or teach their own children their Christian faith. Teachers can’t share their faith, and religious materials can’t be used as textbooks. Those who break the law can face fines or other consequences.
</blockquote><p>Is it any wonder that this has caused a sense of hopelessness and frustration? And Chinese young people are seeing through the false promises of communist ideology, realizing it is a system that only produces despair. </p><p>My message from 2019 is the same that I would give today:</p><blockquote>
    Pray for Chinese Christians. Pray for the parents in China and their children. No matter what the government says about our Christian faith, we must obey God and not men (Acts 5:29). So I know many parents will defy the government and share the good news of Christ with their children. Pray for their protection and boldness. Above all, pray that many people—including children of all ages—will come to faith in Christ.

I asked AI the question <b>“What is life?”</b> It responded,</p><blockquote>Life is a complex phenomenon defined by a set of biological processes, including organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, response to stimuli, reproduction, and adaptation. It is the condition that distinguishes living organisms from non-living entities and is characterized by the ability to sustain itself, grow, and evolve over time.</blockquote><p>I then asked it, <b>“What is human life?”</b> It said,</p><blockquote>Human life is the existence of a human being from birth to death, encompassing physical, emotional, and social experiences. Biologically, it is the period of development for the species Homo sapiens, beginning at conception with a fertilized egg and continuing to death. Philosophically and subjectively, it involves a life’s purpose and experiences, which are often defined by an individual’s growth, relationships, and contributions to society.</blockquote><p>And then I asked, <b>“What is human life from a biblical worldview perspective?”</b> The AI answer was actually (and surprisingly) fairly good:</p><blockquote>From a biblical perspective, human life is a sacred gift from God, with inherent value because humans are created in God’s image. This means life has a divine purpose: to glorify God, reflect His nature, and be stewards of creation. Human life is understood as a combination of both physical and spiritual existence, and though fallen by sin, it has the potential for redemption through Christ.</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">Man, consisting of only two genders, is made in God’s image right from fertilization.</blockquote><p>Then I asked a human being, myself, to define human life. My answer is that as a Christian, I build my worldview on God’s Word beginning with Genesis 1–11. Man, consisting of only two genders—male and female, is made in God’s image right from fertilization.</p><blockquote class="scripture">And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>While our bodies are being formed in our mothers’ wombs, we are already human beings, people made in God’s image.</p><blockquote class="scripture">For You formed my inward parts;
<br>You wove me in my mother’s womb.
<br>I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
<br>Wonderful are Your works,
<br>And my soul knows it very well.
<br>My frame was not hidden from You,
<br>When I was made in secret,
<br>And intricately woven in the depths of the earth;
<br>Your eyes have seen my unshaped substance;
<br>And in Your book all of them were written
<br>The days that were formed for me,
<br>When as yet there was not one of them. (Psalm 139:13–16 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>We are fully human, with a sin nature (because of Adam’s sin against God), right from fertilization. Our sin brought the judgment of death.</p><blockquote class="scripture">Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
<br>And in sin my mother conceived me. (Psalm 51:5 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. (Romans 5:12 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>Because man rebelled against his Creator, thus bringing sin and the judgment of death into the world, man was separated from God. But God provided a way for our sin to be paid so our relationship with our Creator could be restored.</p><blockquote class="scripture">For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>God provided his Son, Jesus, to become the perfect, sinless God-man to pay the penalty for our sin by dying in our place, conquering death, and offering a free gift of salvation and eternal life to those who will receive it.</p><blockquote class="scripture">If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target-"_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p><strong>Why this discussion of human life?</strong> Well, January 22, 2026, will be the 53rd anniversary of <i>Roe v. Wade</i>. Although that ruling was overturned in 2022 to enable the states to decide the legality of abortion, over one million children per year are still murdered in their mothers’ wombs in the US.</p><p>We should grieve for what the abomination of child sacrifice (yes, that’s what abortion is) has done in murdering many millions of children worldwide (with over 60 million abortions recorded since 1973 in the US alone).</p><p>Right from fertilization, we are humans made in God’s image, and abortion is killing a human being made in God’s image and for whom Jesus died.</p>

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/sanctity-of-life.jpg" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday, and many churches will be teaching on the value of human life—something churches desperately need (to see how desperately, see <a href="/sanctity-of-life/abortion/one-in-five-churchgoers-participated-abortion/" >my blog</a> from earlier this month on research that revealed one in five churchgoers have somehow participated in an abortion). Well, in honor of this special day, I thought I would share three biblical truths on the sanctity of human life.</p><ol><li><p><em>Life begins at fertilization.</em><a href="https://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF25J65.pdf" target="_blank">In the study</a> I referenced above, only 54% of churchgoers believed that the Bible indicates when human life begins (24% said it doesn’t say, and 22% said they don’t know). But of that 54%, only 40% gave the biblical answer to <em>when</em> it says life begins—at fertilization! The others picked some arbitrary point on the developmental timeline, claimed they didn’t know the answer, or contradicted their previous answer by saying that Scripture doesn’t specify.</p><blockquote class="pull right">The Bible is clear on this issue. It always treats the unborn as persons having the same value as those who are already born.</blockquote><p>But the Bible is clear on this issue. It always treats the unborn as persons having the same value as those who are already born. Consider God’s law, which <a href="/sanctity-of-life/abortion/does-the-bible-condone-abortion/" >prescribed the death penalty</a> for someone who accidentally strikes a pregnant woman so that she delivers prematurely and the baby dies. Or the fact that both Jesus and John the Baptist are referred to as persons, even though they were still in the wombs of their mothers (Luke 1:39–45). Or, of course, Psalm 139, where the psalmist glorifies God because of how he knits us together in the womb.</p><p>The Bible treats a human life, no matter how developed, as a person (and scientifically, this is the only position that makes sense—a fertilized egg is a unique combination of human DNA and nothing new is added, so that life can’t be anything but a human person!).</p><p>This has massive implications for our current society: If life begins at fertilization (which it does), then taking that life, which is made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), is murder and a violation of God’s command “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13).</p></li><li><p><em>Feelings don’t determine truth.</em> The study asked participants for the “types of information that have the most influence on [their] views&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. regarding abortion and the value of human life.” They found that for 42% it was “their moral and religious beliefs,” but for a whopping 34% it was&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. “their personal feelings.” But feelings are not what determine truth!</p><p>Consider how the Bible describes our feelings, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9 NIV). And we’re explicitly told not to lean on our own understanding but on the Lord (Proverbs 3:5–6)—and the only way we can have our minds shaped by the Lord is by reading his perfect revelation to us in the Bible!</p><p><b>Feelings change and are often wrong. God’s Word doesn’t change, and it is never wrong.</b> Don’t be guided by your feelings, especially on an issue of life and death. Be guided by the perfect, authoritative, infallible Word of God. You can’t trust your feelings.</p></li><li><p><em>Christians have to apply the biblical perspective to other life issues.</em> When we think of sanctity of life issues, we usually think of abortion. But we must take the Bible’s principles about the value of human life, not murdering, and obeying the Lord rather than our feelings, and apply them to other sanctity of life issues.</p><blockquote class="pull right">God is the Author of life—not us—and we cannot just take life because we think it’s the best choice.</blockquote><p>For example, the study found only 43% of churchgoers “affirmed that ‘euthanasia is morally wrong’”! Nearly a quarter said it wasn’t, and 35% weren’t sure what to think on the issue. But the elderly, the terminally ill, the vulnerable, those with disabilities—each person is made in the image of God, and therefore their life has value. God is the Author of life—not us—and we cannot just take life because we think it’s the best choice. Rather, we allow God to be wiser, kinder, and more compassionate than we sinful humans are!</p><p>We must also apply these principles to reproductive technologies (e.g., IVF). Babies created in a petri dish with technology are just as valuable as those formed through natural means. And yet, untold numbers of those lives are discarded because they are not considered “viable” or because genetic testing predicts that child will have a disability or a future risk of illness. <a href="/sanctity-of-life/ivf-embryo-deaths-now-surpass-abortion-deaths/" >A recent study</a> found the deaths of IVF embryos now outnumber deaths by abortion in America! But each of those lives is made in God’s image too and deserves to be protected and valued.</p></li></ol><p>God’s Word isn’t silent or ambiguous on this issue. It speaks with one voice and speaks clearly and loudly: <b>Human life is of immeasurable value</b>. This is highlighted with an exclamation point at the cross when Jesus gave his life for us. Abortion, discarding embryos, and euthanasia say, “You will die for me” or “I will choose when and how I die.” The gospel says, “The Creator of the universe and the Lord of all creation left glory to come to this earth, lived a perfect life, and died in your place that you might be saved from slavery to sin and live with God forever.”</p><p>Yes, human life is of immeasurable value!</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/january-appeal.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
As we start the new year, I’m sure we’re all wondering what 2026 might hold. What battles will be waged in our very divided political realm? What violence or acts of terrorism might erupt? What major catastrophes like earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, or floods might devastate parts of the US? Will persecution ramp up against Christians/conservatives?</p><p>We certainly live in tumultuous times with so much uncertainty. Moral and social changes have swept dramatically through our culture, and technology like AI is advancing at a rate we can’t really comprehend. We can’t even trust many of the videos, photos, or reports we see on the internet as much is now doctored to look real. Change is all around us. Deception is all around us.</p><p>I feel stressed just writing the above, but&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. <b>let’s take our eyes off the world for a moment and look at something that does not and never will change—God’s Word and the saving gospel</b>.</p><p>Let’s focus on these words from Scripture, God’s Word to us:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Cause my eyes to turn away from looking at worthlessness, and revive me in Your ways. (Psalm 119:37 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For our momentary, light affliction is working out for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16–18 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will make you mighty, surely I will help you; surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>Ah! I needed to be reminded of those verses. Yes, as the prophet said to encourage his people,</p><blockquote class="scripture">Though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no produce on the vines, though the yield of the olive should fail and the fields yield no food, though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls, yet I will exult in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength, and He has set my feet like hinds’ feet and makes me tread on my high places. (Habakkuk 3:17–19 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>God called Mally and me to found this ministry and appointed me to lead. In his sovereignty, he has allowed AiG to face another year in which we will proclaim the most vital, important, and transformative message in the universe—the gospel:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who inhabit the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.” (Revelation 14:6–7 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">The message of the gospel is to be proclaimed to everyone throughout the earth!</blockquote><p>Yes! The message of the gospel is to be proclaimed to everyone throughout the earth! This message impacts our eternity.</p><p>As I lead this ministry to which the Lord has called me, I have always been one to continually look at how the culture and technology are changing, and therefore how our methods of reaching the culture should change to ensure the changeless message of God’s Word and the gospel is clearly proclaimed and understood.</p><p>I have often used Jesus’ parable of the 10 minas where Jesus taught that God has given various gifts (talents, material resources, etc.) to people. Now that he has ascended to heaven, he expects us to use those gifts/resources until he returns. And when he returns, we will be accountable for how we used and invested those resources:</p><blockquote class="scripture">A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, “Engage in business until I come back.”&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. And it happened that when he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know how much they had made in business. So the first appeared, saying, “Master, your mina has made ten minas more.” And he said to him, “Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.”&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. Then another came, saying, “Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a cloth; for I was afraid of you, because you are a strict man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.” He said to him, “From your own mouth I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am a strict man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?” (Luke 19:12–23 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p><b>God has entrusted us at Answers in Genesis (our staff and our supporters) with resources that we need to invest in doing the business of the King (proclaiming the truth of God’s Word and the gospel) until he returns.</b></p><p>And this is also a reminder to us of what the primary thrust of Answers in Genesis should always be:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. But when the disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good work to Me. For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.” (Matthew 26:6–13 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>The story of the woman with the alabaster jar alludes to Jesus’ death and burial. It also emphasizes worship and devotion over material things. In other words, this prioritizes spiritual ministry over ministry business. It certainly was a sacrificial act showing her love for Jesus. But because the disciples were thinking in terms of the money, and thus a business emphasis, they saw it as a waste. In pouring this over Jesus’ head and running down his clothing, it was also symbolic of the gospel and knowledge of Christ being proclaimed to the world. Jesus rebuked his disciples for not thinking of the spiritual aspect of this first. What she did was an act of worship and showed that she had a deep spiritual understanding. It was not a business transaction. <b>In God’s kingdom, spiritual value is placed over material gain. God’s Word and the gospel are the priority.</b></p><p>Answers in Genesis is primarily a ministry proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel. This permeates every bit of the organization in many different ways. We must obey the laws in regard to business, and we need to have the most proficient business skills and maintain the highest of integrity. But the ministry/mission is the priority, which also involves pleasing God through (responsible) faith. And that is the primary focus of what we do with the financial resources you, our supporters, entrust to us.</p><p>As we begin this New Year, <b>let me first thank you all for your faithfulness in praying for us and supporting us financially and in other ways</b>.</p><p>Secondly, as we consider the state of the nation and the world, be assured that we will do all we can with the resources you entrust to us to impact this nation and the world by impacting hearts and minds with the truth of God’s Word.</p><p><b>I ask that you prayerfully consider a special gift this month—as well as designating a monthly recurring gift for our core ministry—to encourage us as we begin yet another year of serving the Lord.</b> You may do at <a href="/donate/" >AnswersDonate.com</a>. Your donation of any size is a great blessing to Answers in Genesis.</p><p>Thank you again for being a part of the AiG family and joining us to impact millions with the most important message in the world!</p><p>In Christ,

We’re providing hope to a fearful generation with <cite>Emerald Crossing</cite>, our 2026 Answers VBS.</p><p>Anxiety (and even depression) is soaring among young people, and we want to teach them to address their fears and worries biblically—by running to the Good Shepherd who leads them beside the still waters and green pastures and is with us in the valley of the shadow of death. And that’s why we created <cite><a href="/vbs/" >Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23</a></cite>.</p><p>You will love this VBS program. As you would expect from Answers in Genesis, it’s biblically rich with <span data-disable-autolink>apologetics</span>, biblical worldview, theology, doctrine, an evangelistic focus, and (of course) lots of fun with crafts, snacks, dramas, science experiments, music, and more. I believe AiG’s VBS programs are the most powerful in the world! So many have told us that after having used an Answers VBS program, they will never change back to anything else.</p><blockquote class="pull right">Take advantage of this opportunity to pour into children the truth of God’s Word as you lead them toward the Good Shepherd.</blockquote><p><span data-disable-autolink>Everything you need for <cite>Emerald Crossing</cite> is currently 25% off—our best price. But that special early bird pricing ends tomorrow, so you’ll want to get your order in right away. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to pour into children the truth of God’s Word as you lead them toward the Good Shepherd. They need to know there really is a God who cares and that it is the only true God, the Creator God of the Bible.</span></p><p><b>Get your order in before midnight tomorrow night (January 10, 2026) at <a href="/vbs/" >AnswersVBS.com</a>.</b></p><div class="sidenote right"><a href="/outreach/event/emerald-crossing-showcase-event/"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org//img/cms/content/contentnode/image/emerald-crossing-showcase.jpg" alt="Emerald Crossing showcase"></a></div><p><span data-disable-autolink>Want to learn more about <cite>Emerald Crossing</cite>, including practical tips on how to teach it, apologetics for you and your VBS team, and practical encouragement from seasoned VBS professionals? Join us for our <a href="/outreach/event/emerald-crossing-showcase-event/">2026 VBS Showcase</a> at the Ark Encounter, January 29–31, 2026.

Last year, we held our first-ever Answers for Men conference at the Ark Encounter, and it was a huge success—a completely sold-out event. We received a lot of very positive feedback from the men who attended. Well, this year’s Answers for Men conference—<a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-men-2026/">Faith on Fire: Act like Men, Be Strong</a>—is rapidly approaching (March 6–7, 2026). And like last year, this conference will be held at the Ark Encounter. If you haven’t registered yet, you might want to do that soon. Nearly 2,000 have already registered!</p><p>Now through January 31, you can take advantage of the early bird discount. Registration includes a 3-Day Bouncer Pass to the Ark Encounter and <span data-disable-autolink>Creation</span> Museum, valid March 5–9, 2026. So you can come a day early or stay a few days later and see both award-winning attractions. You can also prepurchase a conference-themed T-shirt when you register and then pick it up at the start of the conference. The design is quite the eye-catcher (photo below).</p><div class="sidenote"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/outreach/event-images/2026-answers-for-men-t-shirt.png" alt="Faith on Fire T-shirt" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>Registration also includes two days of keynote sessions from respected Christian men such as Pastor Jack Hibbs, Dr. Owen Strachan, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, author Chuck Black, and Darrell Harrison of Just Thinking Ministries—and of course I’ll be speaking there too. And singer, songwriter, and worship leader Michael O’Brien will be performing for and leading us in worshipping our great God and Savior!</p><blockquote class="pull right">We desire to see godly men who act like true men with a watchfulness, firmness, and strength that comes only from the Lord.</blockquote><p>As you can probably tell from the name of the conference, our theme will be how to ignite your faith into a fire that burns for Christ. We desire to see godly men who act like true men with a watchfulness, firmness, and strength that comes only from the Lord.</p><p>Make plans to attend this Answers for Men conference by going to the <a href="https://tickets.arkencounter.com/webstore/shop/viewitems.aspx?cg=afm&c=afm">registration page here</a>. But I’d advise you not to wait—this event will sell out quickly.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Well, it’s 2026. Wow, 2025 went by so fast. It’s a New Year, and none of us knows what this year will hold. Here at Answers in Genesis, we anticipate this year holding the opening of our beautiful, themed Welcome Center at the Ark Encounter and our new restaurant at the Creation Museum. But, of course, that’s all Lord willing, and no one really knows for sure what a year (or even a day!) holds. This gives many people anxiety. But the Bible has the antidote for that.</p><p>The answer to the anxiousness many feel about the future is found in James 4:13–16:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.</blockquote><p>What the Lord is saying through the Apostle James is that, as humans, we make plans—we decide to travel and make a profit—but we are fallible and finite. We can’t see the future. We have no idea “what tomorrow will bring.” More than that, our lives are just vapors; we’re here today and gone tomorrow like the flowers of the field or a morning mist. (How’s that for an encouraging New Year’s message?) The things we dwell on and consider so important in the moment are just like our lives: a mist.</p><p>This can drive us to anxiety, or it can drive us where we should go: to the Lord. The proper posture as fallible, finite humans is to live by this principle: “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” When we truly understand that our lives are not our own, that we belong to God, and that he is sovereign over all circumstances, we can approach a New Year—with all its unknowns, fears, and worries—with confidence because <i>God</i> is our rock, our shield, and our fortress. It’s not the economy, the government, our current circumstances, our health, or anything else. It’s God! He holds tomorrow, and our fallibility should lead us to humble dependence on him.</p><blockquote class="pull right">He holds tomorrow, and our fallibility should lead us to humble dependence on him.</blockquote><p>As you enter this New Year, step forward with confidence in whatever circumstances the Lord has currently called you to walk through, knowing the God who sees the end from the beginning is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. And, if the Lord wills, “we will live and do this or that.”</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,<br>Ken</p><p>This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.</p>

Wow! What a year it has been!

We hear so many testimonies from children saved through AiG’s VBS programs, books, videos, radio programs, and more. At our 40 Days of Christian Music festival last year, over 2,300 committed their lives to Christ. <b>God is using this ministry in special ways to reach so many with the gospel message</b>.</p><p>As we move into 2026 and whatever this coming year holds for this nation, this ministry, and our families (none of us know!), be encouraged that God is working. He is still saving people and is using the faithfulness of his people to do it.</p><p>If you’d like to partner with us in our coming expansions at the Ark Encounter (exciting archaeology exhibits) and the Creation Museum (laying the groundwork for a coming interactive children’s experience) so that we can reach even more people with the message and see even more souls saved for eternity, <b>today is the <a href="/donate/" >last day to give</a> toward our 2025 end-of-year campaign and have your gift doubled, up to $10 million</b>.</p><p>We appreciate your partnership as we do all we can to reach a lost world with the gospel message and encourage and embolden the church to do the same.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,<br>Ken</p><p>This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.</p>

I have an exciting announcement for you—but first, some historical context.</p><p>In AD 230, Christianity was technically an illegal religion in the Roman Empire. Severus Alexander sat on the throne as emperor, rising to power at age 13 after his grandmother had her older grandson, Emperor Elagabalus, assassinated. Despite this bloody takeover, Severus was favorable toward Christians, and persecution during his reign was light compared to previous centuries.</p><p>Sometime during his reign, a room hosting a communion table to be used by officers of the Roman Legio VI Ferrata was built south of Tel Megiddo in northern Israel. The floor of that room was constructed as a beautiful mosaic, featuring several inscriptions—one of which read, “Akeptous, the friend of God, has offered the table to God Jesus Christ (for) remembrance.”</p><p>Within decades, the building was abandoned and dismantled, but an unknown someone took time to cover the mosaic with pottery shards and wall plaster, preserving it until now.</p><p>This floor mosaic, featuring the earliest known extra-biblical reference (outside of manuscripts) to Jesus as God, has been called “one of the most important discoveries made in Israel this century.” And—here’s the exciting announcement—it’s coming to the Ark Encounter in 2027!</p><p>Yes, as part of our planned expansions at the Ark Encounter, we’re bringing the Megiddo Mosaic to the Ark. It will be a tremendous evangelistic addition to our coming first-century Jerusalem model! The renovations necessary to display this exhibit will allow us a space for more rotating exhibits like this, bringing even more people to the Ark Encounter to hear the message of the truth and authority of God’s Word and the gospel.</p><p>You can help us bring this fascinating millennia-old archaeological find to the Ark Encounter (along with other exciting expansions at the Ark and Creation Museum) by contributing to our <a href="/donate/" >end-of-year campaign</a>—there are only two days left to have your gift matched dollar for dollar, up to $10 million.</p><blockquote class="pull right">There are only two days left to have your gift matched dollar for dollar, up to $10 million.</blockquote><p>Part of the money raised will be used to construct a new space inside the Answers Center lobby that can be used for such special exhibits (the Answers Center gift shop is being moved to the new Welcome Center when it opens in 2026).</p><p>I encourage you to partner with us by taking advantage of this <a href="/donate/" >matching-gift offer</a> before midnight tomorrow night. Thank you for your partnership with us in spreading the gospel!</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,<br>Ken</p><p>This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.</p>

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/radiance-exhibit.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
Why are we opening a new identity exhibit at the Creation Museum?</p><p>Well, there’s been a lot of talk about kings recently, not just in the US but in news sources around the world that were reporting on the so-called “No Kings” protests across America in October.</p><div class="sidenote left"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/dec-appeal-7.jpg" alt="No Kings Protest" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>When these events occurred, I filmed a video and wrote a social media post stating that for most of those involved in these protests, it was really a “No King” protest. Many of them were promoting LGBT, transgender, abortion, and so on. In other words, they were promoting anti-<span data-disable-autolink>God</span>/anti-biblical worldview issues. Really, it’s a rebellion against the only true king of creation.</p><p>Really, what many of these people were doing was exactly what the devil tempted Adam and Eve with in Genesis 3:5—to be their own <span data-disable-autolink>god</span> and thus determine their own “truth.”</p><p>At the same time, we are seeing a rise in interest in the King of kings, particularly in the younger generations:</p><blockquote class="scripture">And being clothed with a garment dipped in blood, His name is also called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:13–14, 16 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>This growing interest in the Bible and the things of God is certainly encouraging, and only time will tell what the true impact will be. I do note that much of what is happening to stir the hearts of these young people across the nation concerning the message of God’s Word is happening outside the local church. Sadly, we see so much of the church being rather lukewarm. But regardless, God raises up people in his true church worldwide to carry out the Great Commission.</p><p>Now we have also seen a rise in violence against those with Christian/conservative views. And it’s all connected to the identity issue.</p><p>Identity has become a big issue among younger generations, and the Creation Museum’s new exhibit, <cite>Radiance</cite>, will lead them to understand their true identity is in Christ. What we have always done as a ministry is ensure we are at the cutting edge of where the culture is at as we “contend earnestly for the faith” (Jude 1:3) and do battle in the spiritual war raging around us (Ephesians 6:12). Additionally, we have just produced a new book, <cite><a href="/store/product/sex-gender-and-gospel/?sku=3001225">Sex, Gender, and the Gospel: God’s Design in a Confused World</a></cite> to equip believers to face cultural lies with grace and point to Christ’s transformative hope. </p><h2>The Game Has Changed</h2><p>In his last sermon before he passed away at 56 years old, the well-known, powerful speaker and friend of Answers in Genesis, Voddie Baucham, said this:</p><blockquote><p>And by the way, here’s what you need to understand. The game has changed.</p><p>We don’t debate anymore. You see, now we look at issues not through the lens of our underlying philosophy, but we look at issues through our identity and our lived experience. So when someone is taking a position on political issues today, often times because of this neo-Marxist ideology, this oppressor/oppressed ideology, because the way we sort of divided the world, we look at it through that lens. And so, this is this is not just my political opinion or position. This is my identity, and this is my lived experience. So we can’t have a debate on that. For you to have a debate on something that I have declared as my identity and my lived experience is for you to negate my identity and to negate my lived experience. And by the way, we’ve already decided that words are violent. So if your words are violence and they are violence against my very identity, it’s reasonable that I would respond to your words with actual violence.</p></blockquote><p>He hit the nail on the head. Those brainwashed in secular humanism increasingly don’t debate. Since they consider those who disagree with them as hating them, therefore, the words used are “violence.” This means they can respond with violence. And we see that happening increasingly in our culture—consider what happened to Charlie Kirk.</p><div class="sidenote"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/dec-appeal-2.jpg" alt="Voddie Baucham" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>Think about it: Those who claim Christians are intolerant are intolerant of Christians who hold a biblical worldview. Those in the LGBTQ movement who claim they allow all views in regard to gender and marriage, don’t allow the biblical worldview that there’s only one definition of marriage and only two genders of humans, male and female, based on God’s Word. Those who claim they love everyone will hate those they disagree with. Consider these photographs from the “No Kings” protest in our local area in Kentucky:</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/dec-appeal-3.jpg" alt="No Kings protest"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org//img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/10/no-kings-protest-4.jpg" alt="No Kings protest"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/dec-appeal-5.jpg" alt="No Kings protest"></li></ul></div></div><p>So what is happening? We are seeing Isaiah 5:20 portrayed before our eyes:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>What does this verse mean?</p><p>Because God is the Creator, then God defines what he has created. Man wants to be his own god (Genesis 3:5), and because man is not the creator, man will take what God created and defined and redefine it in the opposite direction.</p><p><b><i>Consider:</i></b></p><table><tr><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines marriage</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines marriage</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#f2f2f2"><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines gender</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines gender</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines dominion</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines dominion</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#f2f2f2"><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines sin</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines sin</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines the family</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines the family</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#f2f2f2"><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines good</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines good</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines evil</li></ul></td><td>&#8594; Man redefines evil</td></tr><tr style="background-color:#f2f2f2"><td style="text-align: left; min-width: 75px;">&#x2022; God defines right & wrong</td><td>&#8594; Man redefines right & wrong</td></tr></table><p>What is the solution?</p><p>Well, to quote President Ronald Reagan, “The government is not the solution to our problem.” Now he was stating this in a different context, but this statement applies in the above context too. Not only is the government not the solution, but legislation is not the solution. Please don’t misunderstand me. We need more Christians active on various boards and in government voting in accord with a Christian worldview. If Christians don’t do this, then secularists will take these positions and vote in accord with an anti-Christian worldview.</p><p>What is the solution? As I have said over and over again, the solution has always been (as first given in Genesis 3:15) God’s Word and the saving gospel. Until people have a change of heart and mind in regard to trusting God’s Word, trust Christ for salvation, and build and apply a Christian worldview in their lives, we will not see a change in their lives from a secular worldview of moral relativism to a biblical worldview with the absolutes of Christianity.</p><p>At Answers in Genesis, we have always recognized that when people’s hearts and minds are changed in regard to God’s Word, that is what will impact theculture. <b>Our extensive surveys of guests who have visited the Ark and Creation Museum consistently shows that about 100,000 people a year commit their lives to Christ as a result of their visit.</b> That’s just the attractions—we know many others are saved as a result of our VBS, 40 Days of Christian Music festival, radio programs, and many other programs.</p><p>As Paul makes clear in Philippians, the most important message for every human being is that we trust Christ for salvation. After all, that determines where we will spend eternity:</p><blockquote class="scripture">More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:8 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p><b>Through the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and all the things we do through Answers in Genesis, our emphasis has always been and always will be to equip Christians to be as effective as possible at witnessing to others, to help families raise godly offspring, and to reach non-Christians with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.</b></p><div class="sidenote"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/dec-appeal-6.jpg" alt="Christmas at the Ark Encounter" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>And that is what our end-of-year donation campaign and the initiatives it will support are all about—reaching more lives for the Lord Jesus Christ. You can learn more details and check the progress of the campaign by going to <a href="/donate/" target="_blank" >AnswersDonate.com</a>.</p><p><b>As we approach the end of the year, I ask that you prayerfully consider a generous gift to help us take full advantage of the incredible $10 million matching gift offer from a family foundation. Every dollar you give by December 31 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10 million. As the Lord leads, you may make a gift of any size to the end-of-year campaign (matched dollar for dollar) and the core ministry by phone or <a href="/donate/" target="_blank" >online</a>.</b></p><p>I am so grateful for your prayers and generous partnership with us in this ministry to impact souls for Christ—thank you!

Is biblical creation just a blind-faith belief? This idea that what we believe as creationists is utterly contrary to reason and is just taken on “blind faith” (which would be fideism) is an attack we commonly hear from secularists. I’ve even had some Christians tell me Christianity is based on blind faith. But is it true?</p><p>Well, I’d say that fideism—blind faith—is a great way to describe the evolutionary faith, the religion of evolution, because the men and women who hold to evolution must close their eyes and ears to the host of evidence from creation that cries out for a Creator.</p><blockquote class="scripture">For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)</blockquote><blockquote class="scripture">When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,<br />
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,<br />
what is man that you are mindful of him,<br />
and the son of man that you care for him? (Psalm 8:3–4)</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">It’s not creationists ignoring the evidence! We see over and over that science and reason agree with and confirm the truth that we find in God’s Word.</blockquote><p>It’s not creationists ignoring the evidence! We see over and over that science and reason agree with and confirm the truth that we find in God’s Word. Just consider the complexity of DNA, the intricate language system written into every cell of every living thing; the “fearfully and wonderfully” developing unborn baby (human development is incredibly complex!); the precise order of the heavenly bodies; and the intricacies of earth’s ecosystems. It all cries out for a Creator God.</p><p>But are we guilty of fideism because we insist on a literal six-day interpretation of Genesis 1? Not at all!</p><ul><li>We appeal to Hebrew grammar, which indicates Genesis is written as history, rather than poetry or myth.</li><li>We appeal to ancient Jewish and Christian scholarship, which unanimously saw it as history.</li><li>We understand that most areas of modern science were pioneered by Christians. Some of the most brilliant people in history were Bible-believing followers of Jesus, and their faith didn’t contradict their academics; rather, it spurred it on.</li><li>And above all, we appeal to the authority of Christ, who read Genesis as history.</li></ul><p>Many Christians find it tempting to add millions of years and/or evolution to the Bible, finding an interpretation that seems more sophisticated or “scientific.” But really, it’s nothing short of compromise with the pagan religion of our day—making man the ultimate authority, not God—and it’s a slippery slope that leads to more and more compromise.</p><p>There are good reasons—irrefutable reasons—to believe in the biblical God and the truth of his Word. While all Christians must have faith (it’s impossible to please God without it!), we do not have a blind faith. <strong>We have a reasonable, defensible faith—objective faith. Atheists have a blind faith that strains credulity.</strong></p><p>I encourage you to learn more about defending the truth of God’s Word, and the existence of the biblical God, with a brand-new resource, <i><a href="/store/sku/3001300">Defending God’s Existence</a></i>, that I served as general editor on. You can find it at <a href="/store/sku/3001300">AnswersBookstore.com</a>.</p><p>When we launched this ministry on this day (December 27) in 1993, I could never have imagined all the books, curricula, events, attractions, and digital resources (including the websites, AI, YouTube, and other social media platforms) giving us the opportunity to reach millions of people all over the world. But praise the Lord, God has allowed us to use all this to promote the message of biblical authority and the gospel to people across the nation and in many different countries. What an incredible opportunity over the years! Thank you for partnering with us!</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Jesus knew our pain and the temptations of sin, and yet he lived a life of perfect obedience to his Father.

Over the years, I’ve pointed out that the first mention of the gospel occurs in Genesis 3:15, right after sin enters creation. As God is judging the serpent, he gives the serpent a prophecy—and what hope it must have given to Adam and Eve—that the Seed (offspring) of the woman was coming to crush (bruise) the serpent’s head.</p><blockquote class="scripture">I will put enmity between you and the woman,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and between your offspring and her offspring;<br>
he shall bruise your head,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and you shall bruise his heel.</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">The promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book</blockquote><p>But the promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book. Actually, it continues throughout the entire Old Testament, as the overarching theme is “Humanity is sinful, but a Savior is coming.”</p><p>But returning to Genesis, fast-forward past the flood and Babel and consider God’s promise to Abraham, as God selects him to be the one from whose family line the Messiah will come:</p><blockquote class="scripture">And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)</blockquote><p>This promise is then continued to Abraham’s promised son, Isaac:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. (Genesis 17:19)</blockquote><p>And to Isaac’s younger son, Jacob:</p><blockquote class="scripture">I am the <span class="smallCaps">Lord</span>, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. (Genesis 28:13–15)</blockquote><p>And Jacob’s son Judah:</p><blockquote class="scripture">The scepter shall not depart from Judah,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet. (Genesis 49:10)</blockquote><p>Now, you’ll notice as you read Genesis that none of these men were perfect. They all sinned grievously, and within the accounts of these four generations, we see instances where one or another of them lied, took concubines or extra wives, solicited a “prostitute,” deceived others, sold a brother into slavery, and more. <strong>God certainly doesn’t whitewash the sins of his people!</strong></p><blockquote class="pull right">It’s all a reminder that we can’t save ourselves!</blockquote><p>Clearly, none of them could be the “Seed of the woman” who would crush the serpent’s head. They were all flawed and sinful, failing to live up to God’s standard. It’s all a reminder that we can’t save ourselves! It’s God who, in his mercy, makes and keeps the promise of a Savior. Eventually that promise was fulfilled (as we will celebrate tomorrow) in Jesus Christ the God-man through his life, death, and resurrection.</p><p>As you celebrate Christmas tomorrow, take time to reflect on the sinfulness, not just of mankind as a whole but of yourself, and to thank God that he did what you and I cannot—he sent the perfect Savior to “save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,<br>

The numbers are in for the 2024–2025 school year—and it’s good news for homeschooling. According to a Johns Hopkins School of Education <a href="https://education.jhu.edu/edpolicy/policy-research-initiatives/homeschool-hub/homeschool-growth-2024-2025/" target="_blank">report</a>, homeschooling in America increased by 5.4%, “nearly three times the pre-pandemic homeschooling growth rate,” with 36% of reporting states recording “their highest homeschool enrollment numbers ever — exceeding even the peaks reached during the pandemic.”</p><p>The study continued:</p><blockquote>Of additional interest, several states [including New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine] are reporting growth rates in the double digits, with one state [South Carolina] exceeding 20%. Other notable trends include continued growth in some states, rebounding growth in states that had been in decline, and highest-ever homeschooling rates in multiple states.</blockquote><p>The director of the Johns Hopkins Homeschool Research Lab said this growth is “remarkable” and represents a “fundamental shift” in education:</p><blockquote><p>We’re seeing something remarkable here. Homeschooling growth is nearly triple the pre-pandemic rate and shows no signs of slowing down. This isn’t a pandemic hangover; it’s a fundamental shift in how American families are thinking about education.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.</p><p>What’s particularly striking is the resilience of this trend. States that saw declines have bounced back with double-digit growth, and we’re seeing record enrollment numbers across the country.</p></blockquote><p><span data-disable-autolink>Now, enrollment numbers don’t provide the “why” behind decisions to start homeschooling, but most parents I’ve talked to share they started homeschooling because of the secular, anti-Christian agenda being pushed through the public education system; the declining quality of education; or a desire to have children at home for more opportunities for biblical discipleship—all good reasons!</span></p><p><span data-disable-autolink>We love homeschooling and offer many resources, including high-quality homeschool curricula, to help these families with teaching, training, and discipling their children in a biblical worldview. One of these high-quality resources is our in-depth Bible curriculum, <a href="/homeschool-edition/order/" >Answers Bible Curriculum for Homeschool</a>.</span></p><p><span data-disable-autolink>While so many Bible curricula are “fluffy,” this four-year chronological curriculum offers biblical worldview teaching, creation and general Bible apologetics, the gospel from Genesis, theology and doctrine, and life application. There’s really nothing else quite like it.</span></p><p><span data-disable-autolink><strong>Answers Bible Curriculum for Homeschool is currently on sale for 50% off through the end of the year.</strong> If you’re new to homeschooling and are starting next semester, or are just looking for a Bible curriculum to help you disciple your children, I encourage you to check out ABC for Homeschool and try some free lessons—you’ll love it!</span></p><p>Visit <a href="/homeschool-edition/order/" >AnswersBibleCurriculum.com</a> or go to <a href="/store/curriculum/">our curriculum page</a> to see everything we offer.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/christmas.jpg" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
What was it like that first Christmas in Bethlehem? Christmas plays and movies, carols, and nativity scenes have painted a picture in our minds that varies in accuracy to what actually happened 2,000 years ago. So what are the top three misconceptions about that first Christmas?</p><ol><li><i>Jesus came into being at the incarnation.</i> God became man at the incarnation when the Father sent his Son, Jesus, to earth in the womb of Mary. But that’s not when Jesus began to exist—Jesus is the eternal God, Yahweh of the Old Testament (John 8:58). He has no beginning, and he has no end. The incarnation is when the eternal God took on flesh and dwelled among us so he could be the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
        </li><li><p><i>Jesus was born in a stable (and there was an innkeeper!).</i> We’ve all seen the portrayals of what happened when Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem: Mary riding on the back of a donkey and feeling the first pangs of labor, the couple going to inn after inn but finding no one has any room for them until a kindly (or grouchy, depending on who wrote the pageant script) innkeeper offers the laboring mother his stable for the night.</p><p>But did you know that none of the Gospels mention a stable, Mary going into labor as soon as they arrived in Bethlehem, a donkey, or even an innkeeper? Here’s what we’re told in Luke 2:4–7:</p><blockquote class="scripture">And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.</blockquote><p>Because of the mention of a manger, people assume baby Jesus must have been born in a stable, and the reference to an “inn” conjures up images of an innkeeper. But did you know that many homes in the first century had mangers in their homes? Animals were often brought inside at night for safety and warmth, so mangers were built into the home. So a mention of a manger—which is still an unusual bed for a baby!—does not mean there was necessarily a stable.</p><p>But what about the inn? What is translated in many of our English versions as “inn” is the Greek <i>kataluma</i>, which is used later in Luke 22:11 to refer to the upper room (or “guest room”) where Jesus ate the last supper with his disciples. <a href="/christmas/born-in-a-barn-stable/" >It likely refers</a> to the upper portion of the house of one of Joseph’s relatives, where guests would stay. Due to the influx of family coming into town for the census, there was no room in the “guest room” for Mary and Joseph, so Jesus was delivered in the lower level of the house and laid in the feeding trough for the animals.</p></li><li><p><i>The wise men arrived the night Jesus was born.</i> Matthew 2 records the arrival of wise men from the east who came to present their gifts and worship to the newborn King. But did they appear alongside the shepherds who, in response to the appearance of the angels, had rushed to Bethlehem to see Jesus the night of his birth? It’s often depicted that way, but the Bible doesn’t say that.</p><blockquote class="scripture">Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. (Matthew 2:1)</blockquote><p>We’re later told evil King Herod slaughtered all the baby boys under the age of two in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill Jesus. Based on these details, it seems the wise men arrived up to two years after Jesus’ birth.</p></li></ol><blockquote class="pull right">It’s important that we always start with Scripture in every area.</blockquote><p>If it’s not already a tradition for your family, I encourage you to take the time to read the Gospel accounts of Christ’s birth rather than just watching someone’s portrayal of the events in a drama, movie, or artwork. It’s important that we always start with Scripture in every area. And it’s important to contrast what Scripture actually states with wrong traditions.</p><p>And that’s what we do in the Christmas dramas that our wonderful Answers Academy (our K–12 Christian school) staff produce. We start with Scripture, trying to make the plays as accurate as possible to what really happened (with careful artistic license, of course). If you’re looking for a moving, gospel-centered production for your church, Christian school, or homeschool group for next Christmas, I encourage you to check out one of those plays, each of which focuses on Christmas through the eyes of a different person:</p><ul><li><cite><a href="/store/product/keeping-watch/">Keeping Watch: Christmas Through the Eyes of the Shepherds</a></cite></li><li><cite><a href="/store/product/pondering-heart/">A Pondering Heart: Christmas Through the Eyes of Mary</a></cite></li><li><cite><a href="/store/product/long-foretold/">Long Foretold: The Journey of the Magi</a></cite></li><li><cite><a href="/store/product/behold-king/">Behold the King: Christmas Through the Eyes of Herod’s Servant</a></cite></li></ul><p><b>What a blessing to be able to produce resources like these to equip the church to share the gospel during this time of year when many unbelievers will come to church.</b></p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Christmas is just around the corner—that’s obvious from the number of families pouring into the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter for our free Christmas events. They’re loving the gorgeous lights, dramas, live nativity, music, and so much more—as well as shopping for unique Christmas gifts in our gift shops (including handmade fair trade items). But you don’t even need to shop in person to find a great gift for someone on your list—I have five “gift of experience” ideas for you.</p><ul><li><a href="https://arkencounter.com/events/presentations/lion-witch-and-wardrobe/"><cite>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe</cite> tickets</a>. Yes, Logos Theatre is bringing the world of Narnia to life yet again on the stage of the Ark Encounter’s Answers Center with C. S. Lewis’ classic tale, <cite>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe</cite>. If you’ve never had the opportunity to watch a Logos Theatre live production, you are missing out. They are truly stunning world-class stage productions with lifelike puppetry, an incredible set, and talented actors. Tickets make a great and affordable gift for the whole family.
        <div class="sidenote"><a href="https://arkencounter.com/events/presentations/lion-witch-and-wardrobe/"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/mediafile/preview_image/lion-witch-wardrobe-og-preview.jpg" alt="The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe stage production"></a></div></li><li><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-men-2026/">Registration to Answers for Men</a>. This faith-building men’s conference is coming once again to the Ark Encounter, March 6–7, 2026, and features teaching from myself, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Dr. Owen Strachan, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, author Chuck Black, and Darrell Harrison of Just Thinking Ministries. I strongly encourage fathers to bring their sons (ages 12+) to be encouraged to “act like men, be strong”—to know what it truly means to be a man in our very confused culture. Registration includes free admission to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.
        <div class="sidenote"><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-men-2026/"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/outreach/event/og_image/answers-for-men-2026.jpg" alt="Answers for Men conference"></a></div></li><li><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">Registration to Answers for Women</a>. And for the wife, mom, sister, or daughter on your list, consider our women’s conference. The weekend conference is already sold out, but there’s still space (for now!) to register for the identical weekday conference, April 6–8, 2026. Featuring teaching from Heidi St. John, Megan Basham, Dr. Rosaria Butterfield, Dr. Albert Mohler, and others (including myself and AiG’s Dr. Georgia Purdom and Avery Foley), this conference will equip women with a biblical worldview regarding sexuality. Again, I encourage moms to bring their daughters (ages 12+)—our young people need this kind of teaching now more than ever! These tickets also come with admission to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.

If you really want to go “all out,” consider securing a spot on the upcoming Answers in Genesis and InGrace Ministries cruise to Alaska (one of my favorite places on earth—it’s so gorgeous), May 23–30, 2026. Not only will you enjoy the beauty of God’s creation as you sail the Alaskan coastlines and see glaciers, wilderness, and remote towns, but you’ll also enjoy teaching from AiG cofounder Mark Looy, along with Dr. Georgia Purdom, astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner, Jim Scudder of InGrace Ministries, and Bruce Malone of Search for Truth Ministries. This makes a great gift for your spouse!

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/4-misconceptions-about-christmas.jpg" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
Christmas is upon us. It just seems to me that the older one gets, the faster time goes. It’s hard to believe that 2025 is almost over! I said to my sweetheart Mally last Christmas, “What’s the point of taking down all the decorations as we will be putting them up again soon?” And it seems like just yesterday we took the 2024 Christmas decorations down.</p><p>A lot has happened in the US and the rest of the world during 2025. Israeli hostages were returned from Gaza; the US bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities; school shootings took the lives of a number of children; children were killed as a result of a flood in Texas; violence has erupted many times in various US cities; battles over biological men in women’s sports continue to get headlines because of the transgender issue; there are rumors of possible wars; and so much more.</p><p>Yes, changes seem to be happening all around us. It would be easy to become despondent over what is going on in the world. But there are two major things that never change.</p><p>In considering these things, we need to learn and apply the lesson from the parable of the 10 minas:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Now while they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. So He said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’” (Luke 19:11–13 <a href="https://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><p>The application of this parable is for Christians to be reminded that God has entrusted various resources to each of us. He may entrust gifts like teaching, preaching, music, financial resources, and so on. <b>We need to be using these gifts to invest in the kingdom</b>, being faithful stewards of what he has entrusted to us.</p><p>So the first of these two main things that never change is this: No matter how bad things seem to be, we as Christians need to make sure we “engage in business” (the business of the King of kings) until King Jesus returns.</p><blockquote class="pull right">The real answer to man’s problems is God’s Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ.</blockquote><p>The second thing that never changes is the solution to the world’s problems. After Adam sinned, God offered us a solution, promising to send a Savior (Genesis 3:15). Government is not the answer. Legislation is not the answer. (Now, we do need Christians in government, on school boards, etc., to vote in accord with a Christian worldview and thus be salt and light. But they can only hope to provide partial, temporary solutions to certain issues.) The real answer to man’s problems (including our biggest problem—sin) is God’s Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ. This has never changed and never will change.</p><p>At Answers in Genesis, we battle against the attacks on the authority of God’s Word, particularly the attacks on Genesis 1–11 that have been prevalent in the era we live in, and we equip people of all ages (using apologetics) to know how to defend the Christian faith—all to be as effective as possible in proclaiming the truth of God’s Word and the gospel to as many as possible.</p><p>So we will continue to use the resources God has entrusted to us, doing all we can to invest in the kingdom by impacting as many as possible with God’s Word and the gospel, until the King returns. That will never change at Answers in Genesis, no matter what happens in the world.</p><p>To help us in doing the business of the King, would you please consider supporting our end-of-year matching-gift campaign?

Right now, we’re in the midst of our final events of the year, <a href="https://creationmuseum.org/christmas/" target="_blank" >Christmas at the Creation Museum</a> and <a href="https://arkencounter.com/christmas/" target="_blank" >Christmas at the Ark Encounter</a>. Families love these free (except for parking) Christ-centered Christmas traditions&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. and they love the other events we host throughout the year—and there are a lot of them!</p><p>In 2025, we hosted a dozen major events at our attractions, including: </p><ul><li>The 2025 VBS Showcase, highlighting this year’s Answers VBS, <cite>Wonder Junction</cite>. Our <a href="/outreach/event/emerald-crossing-showcase-event/">2026 showcase</a> will highlight <cite>Emerald Crossing</cite> (and early bird pricing is still available). The 2025 event, held in January, was sold out.</li><li>Answers for Men. Our first men’s conference was a tremendous success with hundreds of men pouring in for in-depth Bible teaching. Our theme for 2026 is <cite><a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-men-2026/">Faith on Fire</a></cite>—you won’t want to miss it.</li><li>Answers for Women, which is unlike the many shallow “fluff and stuff” conferences out there. Women love the “meaty” biblical teaching and culturally relevant topics (such as our 2026 theme, which is centered around biblical sexuality) that Answers for Women has offered over the years. This conference is so popular that we now offer two <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-women-2026-weekday/">identical back-to-back conferences</a> during the same week, and the 2026 weekend conference is already sold out.</li><li>Answers Homeschool Experience. More than a homeschool conference, this is an experience for the whole family with keynote sessions, hands-on programs, and lots of time to tour the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Our <a href="/outreach/event/homeschool-conference-2026/">2026 event</a> is already filling up.</li><li>Astronaut Encounter. This event was a first for us as we hosted three astronauts (two who have been on the ISS and one who has walked on the moon) who shared their testimonies and biblical teaching. It was a phenomenal event.</li><li><a href="/outreach/event/deaf-days-ark-2026/">Deaf Days</a>, Día Latino, Nourish & Equip, and <a href="/outreach/event/spark-2026/">Spark at the Ark</a>. Each of these events reached out specifically to certain demographics, including the Deaf community, Spanish speakers, local pastors, and artists and creatives.</li><li>Answers for Educators, offering professional development from a biblical worldview for Christian school teachers and administrators. Attendees from across the nation loved the keynotes and breakout sessions at our unique Answers Academy. We’re looking forward to our <a href="/outreach/event/answers-educators-2026/">2026 event</a>.</li><li>Answers for Pastors. This conference saw hundreds of pastors and Christian leaders from across the nation gather together to hear from God’s Word. I heard from so many pastors who were encouraged to be part of this time of teaching and fellowship (and many are already registered for <a href="/outreach/event/answers-for-pastors-2026/">next year</a>!).</li><li>And our last one (besides Christmas!), our <a href="/outreach/event/creation-college-expo-2026/">Creation College Expo</a>. This free event for students in grades 7–12 brings together many of the nation’s Christian colleges and seminaries who take a stand on biblical authority and a young earth.</li></ul><blockquote class="pull right">We praise the Lord for these opportunities and the thousands of people who were impacted through them.</blockquote><p>Whew—so many events! We praise the Lord for these opportunities and the thousands of people who were impacted through them.</p><p>And we also want to say a big thank-you to the organizations that sponsored these events (with many of them generously sponsoring more than one!), some of whom have already agreed to sponsor events again next year! Thank you to our friends at:</p><ul><li>The Herzog Foundation </li><li>The Master’s University </li><li>BJU Press</li><li>Nutramax Laboratories </li><li>The Commonwealth Policy Center</li><li>Healing Hearts International </li><li>Pure Life Ministries</li><li>Children’s Hunger Fund </li><li>Concerned Women for America</li><li>Passion Life</li><li>Rahab’s Rope</li><li>Christian Worldview Film Festival </li><li>Creator’s Brush </li><li>Hampton Creative</li><li>International Center for Creativity </li><li>Kelton Design </li><li>Sight & Sound Theatres</li><li>Yex Creative Services</li><li>International Christian Centers for the Deaf</li><li>Silent Word Ministries</li><li>Deaf Streetlight</li><li>Billy Graham Evangelistic Association </li><li>Hope Signs</li><li>Deaf Biblical Counseling, Inc.</li><li>Puerto Rico Baptist College</li><li>Living Waters</li><li>Editorial Bautista Independiente (EBI)</li><li>Radio Latido, WTRL 88.1 FM</li></ul><p><b>We’re so thankful for their partnership with us in sharing the message of biblical authority and the gospel.</b></p><p>I hope to see you at one of our upcoming 2026 events—they are always so powerful and encouraging.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

It’s hard to believe that we’re halfway through the month of December—January is almost here and with it a brand-new year: 2026. And as we think about the coming new year, many Christians are looking for a new daily devotional to add to their time in the Word and in prayer. There are many such devotionals available (some good—some not so good!), but I wanted to offer something different, very unique, and designed for families. So I put together a book with 365 readings—<cite><a href="/store/product/ken-ham-daily/">Ken Ham Daily</a></cite>. A very different but powerful daily devotional–type book.</p><p>So how long did it take me to write a daily devotional book with over 700 pages? Well, I always answer that question by saying, “50 years!” I took 50 years’ worth of articles I had written, then revised and updated them to make them suitable for a book of daily readings for families.</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/devotional-1.jpg" alt="book cover"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/devotional-2.jpg" alt="book table of contents"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/12/devotional-3.jpg" alt="book sample"></li></ul></div></div><p>Now, this resource is truly unique, <b>addressing the cultural and spiritual issues of our time and combining apologetics with teaching on a biblical worldview and sound doctrine</b>. It’s like taking the major points from all my talks and books and summarizing them in 365 daily readings. Each reading equips Christians to defend the faith, be effective witnesses in an increasingly anti-Christian culture, and understand Genesis 1–11 as the foundation for everything.</p><blockquote class="pull right">Each reading offers a wonderful opportunity for fathers to take the lead in disciplining themselves to guide their families in daily teaching.</blockquote><p>While many people use daily devotionals in their private Bible study, I would also love to see this resource used in school classrooms, Sunday school or Bible classes, and more. My ultimate hope, however, is that it will be used for family devotions. Each reading offers a wonderful opportunity for fathers to take the lead in disciplining themselves to guide their families in daily teaching. It’s like delivering a mini sermon each day, with all the preparation already done for you.</p><p>I pray this resource will be a blessing to you and your family. You can find <cite>Ken Ham Daily</cite> at <a href="/store/product/ken-ham-daily/">AnswersBookstore.com</a>.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Anxiety is a huge issue across all age groups today. To get an idea of how much people are talking or thinking about this issue, one of our staff asked AI how often “#anxiety” appeared on social media in 2025. According to AI, there were over 5 million posts with that hashtag with nearly 44 <em>billion</em> views! Yes, it’s a huge issue! And that’s why our Answers VBS team decided to produce <cite><a href="/vbs/" >Emerald Crossing: An Irish Journey Through Psalm 23</a></cite> as our 2026 VBS program.</p><blockquote class="pull right">They’ll learn how to cross from worry to peace, from fear to faith, and from uncertainty to a firm foundation in God’s Word through a relationship with the Good Shepherd.</blockquote><p><span data-disable-autolink>Today’s kids, many with broken families, are living in a world of fear and confusion, but through <cite>Emerald Crossing</cite>, they’ll encounter the Lord Jesus, the Good Shepherd who cares for them, as they explore Psalm 23 and the life of David.

Is calling a “transgender” person by their “deadname” or objecting to a man in a woman’s restroom sexual harassment? Well, the University of California thinks so—and they are <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/uc-campuses-mandate-gender-training-for-class-registration.html" target="_blank">trying to make sure all of their students also think so</a> by including such ideology in mandatory sexual harassment and anti-discrimination training.</p><p>This training, called SHAPE (Sexual Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, Prevention and Education), is a prerequisite for registering for classes at several University of California campuses, including UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC Irvine. In order to continue with semester registration, students must achieve “a perfect score,” which requires them to answer in ways that align with gender ideology, including that “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”</p><blockquote class="pull right">They are acting as their own gods.</blockquote><p>In other words, it’s <em>not</em> harassment to force women to tolerate, without complaint, men in their private spaces&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. it’s only harassment to protest the men entering those spaces. What a backwards, evil world we live in! But this is no surprise, considering where this is coming from—some of the most liberal schools in the nation. They certainly are not friendly toward disagreement, especially regarding sexuality and gender. And they reject <span data-disable-autolink>God</span>’s Word! That’s the bottom line. They are acting as their own gods.</p><p>If you’re a student looking for a college with high academic standards that doesn’t require you to affirm anti-biblical beliefs just to register for your classes, I encourage you to check out one of our partner schools, <a href="https://www.bju.edu" target="_blank">Bob Jones University</a> in Greenville, South Carolina.</p><p>BJU is grateful to be able to publicly partner with Answers in Genesis and <b>works hard to ensure everything they do, and everything they teach is done through the lens of a biblical worldview</b>—the exact opposite of what’s happening in places like these California universities!</p><p>BJU is a liberal arts school that “exists to grow Christ-like character that is scripturally disciplined, others-serving, <span data-disable-autolink>God</span>-loving, Christ-proclaiming and focused above.” It’s truly a great school with a solid mission.</p><p>Check them out at <a href="https://www.bju.edu" target="_blank">BJU.edu</a>.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Is God just an evolutionary necessity?</p><p><span data-disable-autolink>I was recently sent an <a href="https://advance.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.31124/advance.175438886.66188057/v1" target="_blank">article</a> titled “The God Construct: Why Humanity Needed God Though God Need Not Exist.” The abstract of this “atheistic, scientific-philosophical perspective” applied to the idea of God says:</span></p><blockquote>
    This article argues that humanity created the concept of God to address deep psychological and social needs, even though no empirical evidence requires a God’s existence. Drawing on the philosophy of religion and cognitive science, we demonstrate that <strong>belief in gods arises from evolved cognitive byproducts</strong> (e.g., hyperactive agency detection and theory of mind) and existential motives (such as meaning, order, and comfort in the face of death and suffering). From an atheistic, scientific-philosophical perspective, we contend that <strong>God is a cultural construct</strong> (‘man needs God’) <strong>rather than a necessary metaphysical being</strong>. Logical analysis (e.g. the problem of evil and ontological arguments) supports God’s non-necessity, while empirically humans with strong God-belief report greater purpose and reduced death anxiety (Cranney 2013). We argue that religion fulfilled survival functions (community cohesion, moral regulation) but did so via God-concepts as symbolic projections. In sum, <strong>the God-idea met human needs, not vice versa</strong>. This thesis is supported by interdisciplinary evidence from evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and analytic philosophy. [emphasis added]
</blockquote><p>In other words, there’s no convincing evidence that <span data-disable-autolink>God exists; but we needed him, so sometime in our evolutionary past, mankind invented a God or gods</span> to serve our purposes. But do you realize that, in making his argument, this atheistic author has already defeated his very premise?</p><p>Okay, what do I mean by that?</p><p>Well, <strong>he admits his research comes from an atheistic perspective</strong>: He believes everything is material and everything evolved by materialistic (non-supernatural) processes over many millions of years. In this worldview, there cannot be anything immaterial. And yet he is applying logic and reason to make his arguments. But logic and reason are not material! They are immaterial&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. and the immaterial can’t exist in his own worldview.</p><p>In a chance, random universe, laws of logic that apply to everyone everywhere don’t make sense. Why would randomness produce immaterial laws that don’t change? In order to make his argument, this atheist has to borrow from a biblical worldview because it is only the eternal <span data-disable-autolink>God of the Bible</span>, who is logically consistent, never changes, and can account for laws of logic. He is borrowing from the very worldview (or theism, at least) that he is arguing against!</p><blockquote class="pull right">We didn’t invent God.</blockquote><p>The very fact that he can argue at all shows he is wrong. We didn’t invent God. God exists outside of time and space. He created us by the power of his word and then revealed himself to us through his perfect Word and his Son, <span data-disable-autolink>Jesus</span> Christ, who came to offer his own life in our place so we could be forgiven and spend eternity with him.</p><p>And don’t forget, man can’t escape the fact that “that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, both His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:19–20 <a href="https://read.lsbible.org/?q=romans+1%3A19–20" target="_blank">LSB</a>).</p><div class="sidenote right"><a href="/store/product/defending-gods-existence/" target="_blank"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/prod/primary/lg/3001300.jpg" alt="<cite>Defending God’s Existence</cite> book"></a></div><p>Now, if you’d like to learn more about refuting atheistic arguments with a presuppositional approach (the approach I just used), I encourage you to check out the brand-new book I served as general editor for, <a href="/store/product/defending-gods-existence/" target="_blank"><cite>Defending God’s Existence</cite></a>. It’s a powerful handbook for every <span data-disable-autolink>Christian</span> on this kind of foundational <span data-disable-autolink>apologetics. Really, it’s just refuting skeptical arguments the way God</span> does—by starting with his Word as the authority.</p><p>You can find <cite>Defending God’s Existence</cite> at <a href="/store/product/defending-gods-existence/" target="_blank">AnswersBookstore.com</a>.</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

If you have the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon, you’ll see various signs that will tell you how the canyon supposedly formed over many millions of years as the layers were deposited and the Colorado River slowly eroded the rock. But what if those signs are demonstrably wrong based on observational science?</p><blockquote class="pull right">Detailed analysis of the rocks themselves eliminates this interpretation.</blockquote><p>Spoiler alert here—they <em>are</em> wrong! The rock layers could not have been laid down slowly over eons of time. Detailed analysis of the rocks themselves eliminates this interpretation. But the only ones doing this research are <span data-disable-autolink>creation</span> scientists—because evolutionists just assume the millions of years!</p><p>In this fascinating video, Dr. Andrew Snelling, a research geologist, summarizes his findings after carefully studying folded rock layers at Grand Canyon (you can read the technical details in our <a href="https://answersresearchjournal.org" target="_blank"><cite>Answers Research Journal</cite></a>). I encourage you to watch and share it—just based on the rocks themselves, his research really does eliminate the possibility that they formed slowly over long periods of time.</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

Were the Mayans at the first Thanksgiving?</p><p>Yes, you read that right! Usually we associate the Mayan peoples with South America, so what connection could they possibly have with the events after the <cite>Mayflower</cite> landed in Massachusetts? It’s an intriguing question—and one that you can only answer if you start with the biblical timescale of thousands of years of human history and apply it to human genetics.</p><p>And that’s exactly the kind of research that biologist Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson is doing! Now, before he answers the question of Mayan participation in the Thanksgiving feast, watch this video for the backstory of the Native peoples you learned about in school who were at the first Thanksgiving.</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

The headlines are saying that a new discovery shows evidence of life on Mars. But what did they really find? Well, not quite what the headlines might make you think!</p><p>In the video below, you’ll see what was really found (spoiler: it wasn’t life!), and it’s a great example of the importance of reading past the headline. <strong>These sensational headlines are often very misleading, exaggerating what was really discovered by taking scientific claims and making a giant leap.</strong></p><p>What NASA scientists really found was, well, rocks with spots on them! They think this might be evidence that there was life on our nearest planetary neighbor billions of years ago&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. and from that possibility, they infer that maybe life started there and ended up here and thus we’re all descendants of Martians! (It’s not just headlines making giant leaps from the evidence!)</p><p>You can hear all my thoughts about this new find in the video below.</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

Each year <cite>Glamour UK</cite> magazine hands out “Women of the Year” awards to, according to their website, “celebrate the extraordinary women who have defined the last 12 months (and beyond) – the trailblazers, activists, visionaries and status quo-shifters who have made the world a little bit better and brighter for women.” Well, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-fashion-mag-mocked-for-honoring-9-men-as-women-of-the-year" target="_blank">among the winners this year</a> was a group called “The Dolls”&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. all nine of whom are men.</p><p>Yes, nine men won “Women of the Year” awards! These men, who work to “Protect the Dolls,” were specifically chosen because “these trailblazers work tirelessly to empower, uplift and celebrate trans voices.”</p><p>In other words, these men, who dress like women and call themselves “dolls,” work hard to ensure that women have no private spaces and that men who say they are women are treated just like women—which means there’s really no such thing as a woman at all! That certainly doesn’t sound like they are making the world “a little bit better and brighter for women.”</p><p>An accompanying article in the magazine says,</p><blockquote>Now, trans people – and especially trans women [men] – are facing a committed attempt from anti-trans pressure groups and right-wing politicians to make exclusionary policy the default across British public life including toilets, changing rooms, leisure facilities, workplaces, hospital wards and crisis support services. The intention is clear: to drive us out of public life to repress, then deny our existence.</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">To say that a man can just “be” a woman because he says so erases the uniqueness of what it means to be a woman!</blockquote><p>But really it’s these men who are denying the existence of women! To say that a man can just “be” a woman because he says so erases the uniqueness of what it means to be a woman!</p><p>A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-fashion-mag-mocked-for-honoring-9-men-as-women-of-the-year" target="_blank">report</a> on these articles notes how one of the interviewees claims that “trans-identifying people are facing ‘segregation laws’ and ‘an inability to participate in public life.’”</p><p>Yes, we have been “segregating” men and women as a society&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. and that is a good thing because men and women are different! That’s why we have separate private spaces, sports teams, shelters, prisons, and more. <strong>It’s to protect women and give everyone privacy and a fair playing field.</strong> But when men believe they can just “become” women and enter women’s spaces, women in particular are harmed and their privacy violated.</p><p>Our society continues to deny the reality of Genesis 1:27: “Male and female he created them,” which observational science confirms (males have XY and females have XX sex chromosomes).</p><p>And it’s that reality that we’re powerfully showing in our coming identity exhibit, <cite>Radiance</cite>, at the Creation Museum. It will be opening soon, and we’re very excited that this stunning exhibit will equip young people in particular to understand the truth of their identity and how God created them to be.</p><p>Stay tuned for the official announcement of the exhibit opening and make plans to visit! <strong>Our young people, who are growing up in a world where men win women’s awards, desperately need the unchanging truth of God’s Word.</strong></p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

The <a href="https://arkencounter.com/" target="_blank" >Ark Encounter</a> and <a href="https://creationmuseum.org/" target="_blank" >Creation Museum</a> are the leading Christian themed attractions in the world, bringing millions of visitors from around the world to Northern Kentucky (over 14 million total since these attractions opened). Because of our massive impact on tourism in this region, we are members of the Kentucky Travel Industry Association (KTIA). Each year, this group gives out several awards—and this year, we won four of them!</p><p>Here’s how KTIA’s website summarizes their annual Traverse Awards, which are given out for excellence in tourism:</p><blockquote>The Traverse Awards [are]&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. where travel and tourism professionals are honored and recognized for talent, creativity and effectiveness. For recipients, the awards represent a way for hard working individuals and teams to receive the recognition they deserve, and for the communities in which recipients are located, to better understand and appreciate the work of the travel and tourism industry and the professionals who comprise it.</blockquote><p>This year, we entered in three categories:</p><ul><li>Marketing Campaign: We submitted our 2024 national Ark Encounter marketing campaign.</li><li>Digital: We submitted an ASMR video our social media team made that went viral (ASMR is category of sensory videos that are very popular on social media).</li><li>Multi-Partner, Print: Our “Two Boats One Day” campaign, in partnership with our friends at BB Riverboats, along with <cite>Kentucky Living</cite> magazine, Grant County Tourism (the county the Ark is located in), and meetNKY.</li></ul><p>And we placed in all three categories! Our national Ark campaign and our ASMR video both took home bronze, and our “Two Boats One Day” campaign won silver. We were also honored that Eddie Lutz, our Director of Attraction and Resource Sales, was given KTIA’s 2025 Member of the Year Award! That’s a total of four awards.</p><p>Staff members from the teams that worked hard on these campaigns were thrilled about the awards.</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/tourism-1.jpeg" alt="bronze award"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/tourism-2.jpeg" alt="bronze and silver awards"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/tourism-3.jpg" alt="Member of the Year Award"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/tourism-4.jpeg" alt="the Traverse Awards"></li></ul></div></div><p>You can watch the bronze-winning ASMR video our social media team put together below:</p><div class="sidenote"><style>

        <div class="headerImage"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/cms/content/contentnode/header_image/nov-25-newsletter.png" alt="" /></div><p class="intro">
This year has been a tough year for all of us.</p><p>In July, we heard the news about a flood in Texas that caused the deaths of a number of young girls from a camp. Tragedy.</p><p>In August, we heard about a school shooting in Minnesota where 2 beautiful children were killed and 18 others, plus 3 adults, were wounded, some critically. Tragedy.</p><p>Then in September, we heard the devastating news that Charlie Kirk was assassinated—really, martyred—in Utah. Tragedy.</p><p>And of course, we could list many other catastrophic events in America (such as people killed by tornadic outbreaks) and around the world (deaths resulting from earthquakes, floods, and so on). Tragedies.</p><div class="sidenote"><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/nov-25-newsletter.jpg" alt="woman praying in a dark tunnel" class="js-enlargeImage"></div><p>I can understand why I heard TV hosts and guests crying out over and over again as they struggled to understand where God is in all of this. I can also understand, in a sense, why non-Christians would claim there can’t be a loving God with all this tragedy around the world.</p><p>It’s a reminder that this is not a beautiful world. It’s really an ugly world with a remnant of beauty. But this is because we are living in a fallen world as a result of our sin. And the only way we can understand all this is because of what God has revealed in his Word, the Holy Scriptures.</p><p>In Luke, Jesus is recorded asking a question:</p><blockquote class="scripture">Or do you think that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse offenders than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. (Luke 13:4–5 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>)</blockquote><blockquote class="pull right">The question was not “Why did they die?” but “What is going to happen to you when you die?”</blockquote><p>Eighteen people died when a tower fell on them. Jesus asked if they died because they were worse sinners than others. His answer was really one word: repent. Why did he answer this way? What he was saying was that, for those 18, this was their turn to die. The question was not “Why did they die?” but “What is going to happen to you when you die?”</p><p>As God’s Word states, “And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27 <a href="http://lsbible.org" target="_blank">LSB</a>).</p><p>In other words, the most important thing for any of us is to make sure we have responded to the gospel and trusted Christ for salvation.</p><p>As I often say in my presentations, “The solution to man’s problems in this world has always been and always will be God’s Word and the saving gospel.” And God’s Word explains why we have such an ugly world. It’s not God’s fault—it’s our fault because we sinned in Adam. God loves us so much he provided a solution for our sin in his Son, Jesus.</p><p>At Answers in Genesis, we are always looking for ways we can reach more people with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel and ways we can be bolder for the Christian faith. Our guest survey responses reveal that each year, some 100,000 people or more commit their lives to Christ because of their experience at the <a href="https://arkencounter.com/" target="_blank" >Ark Encounter</a> and <a href="https://creationmuseum.org/" target="_blank" >Creation Museum</a> attractions—and that’s not to mention all the other things we do, including our powerful VBS programs and other resources and events, that impact millions more people for Christ.</p><div class="js-stepper"><div class="js-stepper-slides"><ul class="is-center" style="list-style: none;"><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/nov-25-newsletter-1.jpg" alt="woman worshipping at our Answers for Women conference"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/nov-25-newsletter-2.jpg" alt="tactile experience at the Ark Encounter"></li><li><img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/blogs/ken-ham/2025/11/nov-25-newsletter-3.jpg" alt="group in front of the Ark Encounter door"></li></ul></div></div><p>And we want to expand our reach. This world needs the solution! Our nation needs this solution.</p><p>That’s why at the end of each year we put together an end-of-year campaign to raise the resources needed for a variety of projects that will help us impact more people with the gospel. You can find more information about this year’s campaign and other ways you can support us financially at <a href="/donate/" target="_blank" >AnswersDonate.com</a>.</p><p>Yes, we are doing all we can to proclaim the solution the world needs to as many as we can. But we do need your help to enable us to reach even more people through supporting us in prayer and contributing to our exciting end-of-year campaign.</p><p>Visit <a href="/donate/" target="_blank" >AnswersDonate.com</a> to learn what we have proposed and how you can partner with us to impact more souls for Jesus.</p>

Are you dissatisfied with your current homeschool Bible curriculum? We often hear from parents who are frustrated because so many Bible curriculums are watered down, moralistic lessons that don’t teach biblical worldview or apologetics and don’t treat God’s Word as the ultimate authority. If that’s you, I encourage you to consider <a href="/homeschool-edition/order/" target="_blank" >Answers Bible Curriculum for Homeschool</a>—it’s like no other Bible curriculum on the market.</p><blockquote class="pull right">This whole-Bible, chronological approach really brings God’s Word to life and highlights the big picture of Scripture: God’s plan of redemption from Genesis to Revelation.</blockquote><p>ABC walks you through the whole Bible chronologically in four years and is designed for K–5th grade (though many parents use it for older grades too—it’s that rich!). This whole-Bible, chronological approach really brings God’s Word to life and highlights the big picture of Scripture: God’s plan of redemption from Genesis to Revelation.</p><p>And as you’d expect from Answers in Genesis, ABC is filled with creation and Bible apologetics teaching, biblical worldview content (most Christians do not understand what a truly biblical worldview is), doctrine and theology (presented nondenominationally), biblical authority teaching, and a gospel focus. It’s a tremendous resource for families!</p><p>Accompanying the curriculum is a video series called <cite>Building Blocks</cite>, featuring teaching and fun object lessons from AiG’s Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley. Kids absolutely love these videos (one for each lesson), and we often hear that they’re the highlight of the school week.</p><p><strong>ABC for Homeschool is <a href="/homeschool-edition/order/" target="_blank" >currently 50&percnt; off</a>, and with the new semester coming up soon, it’s a great time to order a new Bible curriculum for your family.</strong> This half-price sale is only happening through the end of 2025, so be sure to place your order soon.</p><p>We pray it’s a blessing to your family!</p><p>Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
<br>Ken
