What’s the truth about dinosaurs?

I recently shared about a segment that ran on Fox & Friends about the Ark Encounter. The segment featured Fox personality Steve Doocy touring the Ark with AiG’s Avery Foley. While the edited segment is only four minutes long, the tour of the Ark lasted almost two hours, and while he was touring, Steve had lots of questions—many of them about dinosaurs (one of his dinosaur questions even made it into the final edited cut). Yes, dinosaurs are fascinating. Over the years, I’ve answered many, many questions about these fantastic beasts—and I (and our other speakers and writers) continue to do so.

Our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel is very popular and continues to grow as new people, who have never heard of the ministry, stumble across our videos when they are suggested by the algorithm. To help even more new people find our channel, AiG’s Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley recently filmed a video answering common questions about dinosaurs. You can watch that video below and share it with others (your views, likes, and comments encourage YouTube to push the video to more people).

People are fascinated by dinosaurs—and we’re using them at AiG, on social media, at the Ark Encounter, and at the Creation Museum to point people toward the truth of God’s Word and the gospel message. Dinosaurs aren’t a great mystery when you start with the foundation of God’s Word.

Our busy summer season has officially begun! Families are pouring into the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter from across the United States for a fun, family-friendly vacation that equips them to stand on the authority of God’s Word. If you’re planning a summer road trip to the world’s leading Christian themed attractions in Northern Kentucky, here are my top five travel-planning tips:

1. Plan for three days at the attractions. Both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum have so much to offer—high-quality exhibits, playgrounds, zoos, concerts and presentations, and more. Plus, there are unique experiences at each attraction—the museum offers a special effects theater and a conservatory exhibiting the plants of the Bible; and the Ark includes a custom-designed, Italian-made carousel. It’s hard to fit it all into just a one-day visit at each attraction. Our 3-Day Unlimited Combo allows you unlimited visits to both attractions over three days, giving you more time to go at your own pace and enjoy everything each attraction offers. I also recommend purchasing a three-day parking pass.


If you can, I encourage you to go to the Creation Museum first as it has a more in-depth message of the Bible and gives people a great foundation to then go to the Ark.

2. Speaking of enjoying everything we have to offer, my second tip is to add an “extra” to your visit. These “extras” (which require a separate ticket) enhance your visit and make for some fun family memories. Consider riding the zip lines or completing an aerial adventure course together; visiting the Butterfly House or planetarium at the Creation Museum; feeding a camel, meeting our sloth or our kangaroos and wallabies behind the scenes, or traveling back in time with our VR experience at the Ark. With so many incredible experiences, it’s easy to see why so many guests choose the 3-Day Unlimited Combo and then add various experiences! If you can, I encourage you to go to the Creation Museum first as it has a more in-depth message of the Bible and gives people a great foundation to then go to the Ark.

3. Purchase your tickets online. Not only does prepurchasing your tickets save you time when you arrive, but it saves you money too. Our lowest prices are found online and vary depending on the day of the week or the season (winter features the lowest prices). If you’re looking to save money or skip the line, purchasing your tickets online is the best option. We also offer free admission to children 5–10 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at both attractions.
4. Arrive early. During the summer months, the attractions get busier as the day progresses. Arriving right when we open allows you to start your adventure when it’s a little less busy (visiting midweek also helps with this). And, as a bonus, the animals in the zoos tend to be more active first thing in the morning, so consider visiting the zoo first if you or your children love animals.
5. Stay with a partner hotel. Our partner hotels have all been vetted by our team, so you can be confident in your choice when you use our helpful hotel search feature.

Oh, and I have a bonus tip for you: Consider a guided tour. Inspire Tours has partnered with us to offer 90-minute guided tours through the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. With “skip-the-line” access, these tours enhance your visit and help you and your family take home even more from the exhibits. And don’t worry, several AiG staff and I were involved with writing and reviewing the tour content to ensure it all matches the AiG core message.

We hope to see you this summer at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum!

Today we celebrate 19 years of the Creation Museum! The vision for it actually goes back to the late ’70s when I was a high school science teacher.

As I think back over nearly two decades of the Creation Museum, it’s incredible how much the museum has grown and changed.

As I think back over nearly two decades of the Creation Museum, it’s incredible how much the museum has grown and changed. The exhibits have been updated and expanded, many new exhibits have been installed, the grounds have matured beautifully, our zoo has been upgraded and expanded, we’ve opened our Plants of the Bible Conservatory (which, as far as we know, is unique in the whole world), we’ve added on a butterfly house, and we even opened a gorgeous new restaurant just this year. And that’s just some of what’s changed in 19 years! (And, of course, once the Ark Encounter opened, guest numbers dramatically increased at the museum—and we’re already celebrating 10 years at the Ark Encounter!).

But what I think of most as I reflect on the past 19 years of the museum are these two things:

1. The faithfulness of God. From the moment we decided to build a museum, we’ve faced opposition and difficulties. There have been many (many!) challenges along the way, and there continue to be. We’ve cried out to the Lord for help, and he’s always been faithful. The museum—which continues to expand and welcome tens of thousands of families each year—is a testimony to the continued faithfulness of God.
2. The lives impacted. Millions of people have visited the Creation Museum in the 19 years we’ve been open. During my meet and greets, I hear story after story from families who have visited and been greatly impacted. I hear many salvation testimonies (we estimate, based on our extensive guest surveys, that 30,000 people come to know Christ each year at the Creation Museum), stories of how it emboldened people to share their faith or stand against compromise, and accounts of fathers and mothers who were challenged regarding what kind of legacy they would be leaving. All these testimonies, and the many we will never hear this side of heaven, are a result of God using the museum for his glory. Praise God!

As we celebrate 19 years, join with us in thanking God for his faithfulness, praising him for impacting people through it, and asking him to continue to use the Creation Museum for his glory and the salvation of souls.

Did you catch the Ark Encounter on Fox & Friends last week?

Fox personality Steve Doocy recently visited the full-size Noah’s Ark attraction as part of an Ark Encounter advertising campaign and was given a guided tour by AiG’s Avery Foley for a special segment on Fox’s morning show, Fox & Friends. If you missed it, you can enjoy the full video here:

As America is celebrating 250 years, we’re celebrating 10 years at the Ark Encounter.

Like Avery and Steve mentioned, as America is celebrating 250 years, we’re celebrating 10 years at the Ark Encounter. (We’re hosting a celebration event July 9–11, 2026, and we’d love to have you join us.) As part of the celebration of America, the federal government (US Department of Transportation) released a “passport” called The Great American Road Trip, with the tagline: “You’ve Got to See America to Celebrate America.” And among the five listed attractions for the state of Kentucky, guess what was featured in this special passport and on the accompanying website?

Yes, the Ark Encounter! Well, it is the biggest themed attraction in Kentucky and the biggest Christian themed attraction in the world.

If you’re planning a road trip for the 250th, how about including the Ark Encounter in your itinerary? We’d love to see you this summer, especially July 9–11 for our 10th Anniversary Celebration. Find all the details and register on our website.

Today, Memorial Day, is the day that kicks off summer vacations here in America—and with the 250th anniversary of the nation, it’s sure to be a busy summer of families traveling to enjoy this great nation. But as we kick off this busy season, we first stop to remember and honor the men and women who served or gave their lives so we could have the freedom to celebrate and enjoy America.

Thank you to those who have served this nation and defended our freedoms.

Thank you to those who have served this nation and defended our freedoms. As our way of saying thanks every day of the year, we offer 20% off general admission or combo admission to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum for veterans, active duty, or retired US military members. This 20% discount is also available on rentals (ECVs, wheelchairs, and strollers) and can be used with up to five meals at our restaurants or snack bars. We appreciate the service of our military members!

If you’re planning to travel this summer to enjoy America, make plans to come to Northern Kentucky (it’s within a one-day drive of two-thirds of the US population, making it a great road-trip destination). Kentucky is a beautiful state with so much to offer, including natural wonders such as Mammoth Cave National Park, Red River Gorge, Cumberland Falls State Park, and Lake Cumberland, as well as attractions such as the Kentucky Horse Park and, of course, the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum—the world’s two leading Christian themed attractions in Northern Kentucky. And you will love the rolling hills typical of this state.

As America celebrates her 250th, we’re celebrating 10 years at the Ark Encounter—so hit two anniversary celebrations in one by traveling to Northern Kentucky this July! Our special anniversary celebration, featuring presentations from myself, Ray Comfort of Living Waters, and Steve Green of Hobby Lobby, is happening July 9–10, with an optional add-on of our Astronaut Encounter 2 on July 11, featuring three astronauts: Captain Barry Wilmore, Colonel Jeffrey Williams, and General Charlie Duke.

It’s a great year to plan your own great American road trip, and you should make sure Northern Kentucky is on your list. Not only will you have a great time as a family, but at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, you’ll be equipped with biblical truth and encouraged to stand firmly on the authority of God’s Word.

Is eating meat “inherently wrong”?

Well, your answer to that question is going to depend on your starting point. If man is your authority, then truth is subjective and completely arbitrary. One person might say eating meat is wrong, while another says it’s completely fine. Who’s right? Without a standard—an ultimate authority—both are equally subjective.

His Word is the ultimate standard for morality.

But there is an ultimate standard: the Word of the God of the universe. He is the Creator, and he alone has the authority to say what is right and wrong. His Word is the ultimate standard for morality. And this is what his Word says regarding meat consumption:

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. (Genesis 9:3)

God, who owns everything, has given us permission to eat meat, just as he originally gave us the plants to eat (Genesis 1:29).

What’s incredibly ironic is that many of the people who claim we shouldn’t eat meat or kill animals are also pro-abortion—they promote, defend, or even celebrate the killing (murder) of a child in the mother’s womb! How inconsistent! I responded to this deadly inconsistency (and the hypocrisy of the person speaking) in a recent video:

May is graduation month for many students at Christian and secular educational institutions. Some graduate so they will move up a grade the next year or to mark the completion of their secondary education, and some graduate with degrees that will enable them to pursue a particular vocation.

I love attending the graduation ceremonies at our Answers Academy Christian school and seeing the children graduate from their classes. And what a blessing to hear those graduating from their senior year give testimony as to how they have been equipped to be an effective witness for the Lord as they continue to pursue their education or a job.

There’s nothing more important for any of us than that we trust Christ for salvation.

I’ve actually given a number of talks at graduation ceremonies in Christian schools or commencement addresses at Christian colleges over the years. Whenever I have done this, I have always emphasized the importance of standing boldly on the absolute authority of God’s Word and doing all they can to reach people with the truth of God’s Word and the message of salvation. After all, there’s nothing more important for any of us than that we trust Christ for salvation.

As I was thinking about this, it brought to mind two of what we could call “graduation ceremonies” that are the most important for us to participate in.

The first such graduation would be when we hear the words like those in the parable of the 10 talents/minas (which is about Jesus entrusting us with talents/resources and us faithfully using those to invest in the kingdom): “Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:23 LSB). For those who have repented of their sin and trusted Jesus Christ for salvation, those are the words we want to hear when we graduate to heaven!

I also thought of this passage:

Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident, for the day will indicate it because it is revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. (1 Corinthians 3:12–15)

Yes, the Christian’s works will be judged by fire one day. Some have works like wood, hay, or stubble, and these works will be burned up. Nonetheless, these Christians will be saved, but they may not receive rewards.

Sadly, I think there will be many “smelly” believers in heaven—those who are saved but whose works are not like gold or silver or precious stones. Rather, their works are like hay and are thus burned up, in a sense, leaving the smell of fire and smoke on them. This is a reminder that we are to use the talents and resources God has entrusted us with to diligently invest in the kingdom until Jesus comes back or we go to meet him upon our death.

The second graduation Christians look forward to is when we are all at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he said to me, “These are true words of God.” (Revelation 19:7–9)

Wow! What a graduation to look forward to, when believers (the true church) celebrate the union of Christ and his bride—his redeemed people! As you think about students graduating this month, search your heart to determine if you know you will one day graduate to heaven and be at that graduation when the bride of Christ is united with him forever.

Over the years I’ve had people ask me, “If we all came from one human couple, why do we look different from one another?” People have even asked, “How could so many races of people all come from Adam?” Yes, even in the church many people have bought into the evolutionary idea of many so-called “races”! If you’ve ever wondered—or been asked this question—here’s the short answer:

There’s only one biological race: the human race.

Biblically, there can only be one race because we’re all descended from Adam and Eve.

There aren’t many different races. Science has powerfully shown that we’re all one race and that the genetic differences between people groups (what some people erroneously call “races”) are extremely minor—just a fraction of a percent!

This is not surprising. Biblically, there can only be one race because we’re all descended from Adam and Eve. Scripture is clear on this:

And [God] made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth. . . . (Acts 17:26)

And why does this matter? Well, because there’s only one race (Adam’s race), every person has the same ultimate problem—each is born a sinner in rebellion against God. And that means every person has the same ultimate solution: the last Adam, the Lord Jesus, who died and took our penalty for us and then rose from the grave.

Babel explains our differences. And you can learn more about the genetics of how we can be only one race, and yet have minor variations, in this excellent presentation from one of our researchers, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson:

If you’d like to learn more about the one race, one origin, and one Savior of humanity, check out my newly revised and updated (with whole new chapters) book, One Blood, now available for preorder.

Over the years, I’ve heard the objection over and over again that the Bible doesn’t give us an age for the earth—that’s what science is for! I usually respond a bit tongue in cheek by saying I’m glad it doesn’t, or it would have been outdated the very next year! But then I go on to explain that the Bible doesn’t give us an age for the universe—it gives us something better: a birth certificate and a detailed chronological history.

You see, Genesis 1 is clear that God created everything in six, literal, 24-hour days (learn more about how we know they were literal days in this article). That means the universe was six days old when Adam was created. We then have detailed genealogies in Genesis 5 and 10 that don’t merely provide the names of the fathers from Adam to Abraham but also their ages when they had their sons. This means anyone can easily add up the time that elapsed from Adam to Abraham (about 2,000 years). Since the Bible gives us the details to figure out Abraham lived about 2,000 years before Christ and we know Christ walked on this earth 2,000 years before us, we can determine that there’s been about 6,000 years of history.

It gives us a “birth certificate” we can use to figure out how much time has passed since the beginning.

So, no, the Bible doesn’t say, “The earth is 6,000 years old.” Earth wasn’t that old when the Bible was written anyway! But it gives us a “birth certificate” we can use to figure out how much time has passed since the beginning. (And, just as an aside, this birth certificate is why most people in the West believed the earth was just a few thousand years old until relatively modern times!)

This idea that the Bible is silent on the age of the earth was recently repeated by apologist Dr. John Lennox. AiG’s Dr. Terry Mortenson responded to that claim, along with several others. I encourage you to watch and share his biblical response to Dr. Lennox’s and Dr. Jack Collins’ views on the age of the earth:

What an incredible event!

Last week, we hosted our three-day Answers Homeschool Experience at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Over 3,000 individuals registered, and they absolutely loved the experience. You see, this annual event is more than a conference—it’s an experience! It’s very different from a normal homeschool conference.

Not only did families love touring the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, playing on the playgrounds, meeting the animals in our zoos (including the Butterfly House, which opened for the season just in time for our homeschool guests), exploring the Plants of the Bible Conservatory, and so much more at our attractions, but they also loved the special experiences that were part of the event, including:

• Powerful and practical sessions from our keynote speakers
• Hands-on workshops for the whole family (guests gave rave reviews about all the workshops, but the most popular was Let’s Sculpt Dragons with paleoartist Joel Leineweber and our artists supervisor at the design studio, Doug Henderson—yes, families enjoyed some very unique experiences!)
• Hands-on fun outside with Trail Life, one of our sponsors
• Archery tag
• A canine demonstration
• Animal encounters
• Mom’s Night Out
• An amazing concert with Keith and Kristyn Getty
• A drama of The Pilgrim’s Progress with Logos Theatre, featuring teenage conference attendees—they did an amazing job and loved learning theater from a group as high-quality as Logos
• And more!

It is an experience, not just another conference.

Yes, it is an experience, not just another conference. And we couldn’t do it without our sponsors. Thank you to National Bible Bee, Heritage Defense, AdelFi, Trail Life, BJU Press, Liberty Online Academy, Logos Theatre, Abeka, Herzog Foundation, and Bob Jones University.

Don’t miss next year’s event, featuring:

• Astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore
• Bestselling author and podcast host Heidi St. John
• Author and former professor Dr. Rosaria Butterfield
• Founder of Patriot Academy Rick Green

I will also be speaking, as I do at most of our conferences.

And, of course, in addition to these keynote speakers, there will be amazing experiences for the whole family! Many families love this experience so much, they come back every year. We hope to see you!

Are you near Grand Rapids, Michigan, or Shipshewana, Indiana? If so, I’m inviting you to join me and astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore (author of Stuck in Space) for a Launching Truth event.

The truth of God’s Word is powerful—and it “launches” from Genesis 1–11.

The truth of God’s Word is powerful—and it “launches” from Genesis 1–11. Those chapters, of course, are the foundational chapters for our biblical worldview, the rest of the Bible, the gospel message, and, well, everything! I’ll be sharing about the foundational nature of Genesis, why it matters, how we know we can trust it, and more. Along with me will be my friend Captain Barry Wilmore, who will encourage you not to compromise on the truth of God’s Word. After we speak, there will be a Q&A with both of us.

These two Launching Truth events are free, but we do ask that you register on our events page. Join us in Shipshewana on June 26, 2026, at 6 p.m. or in Grand Rapids on June 27, 2026, at 6 p.m.

Or you could join us July 11, 2026, at the Ark Encounter for our Astronaut Encounter 2 event, featuring myself, Captain Barry Wilmore, Colonel Jeff Williams, General Charlie Duke (who walked on the moon!), and Ray Comfort from Living Waters. This event was incredibly well received last year, and we’re excited to be able to offer it again. Be sure to get your tickets before it sells out.

I hope to see you at one of these events!

Evolutionary ideas fueled racism in the past, and they continue to influence how people see one another.

The late Voddie Baucham was a great friend of the Answers in Genesis ministry. He spoke at several of our conferences, including our 2019 Answers for Pastors conference, which was themed One Race, One Blood. At that conference, he gave a powerful message regarding the evolutionary roots of racism and how Christians, starting with the Bible, should view this issue. His presentation has recently been uploaded to our YouTube channel, and I encourage you to watch it (and find part two on the AiG streaming platform, Answers TV).

I’ve been passionate about this topic since the 1970s when I was teaching science at a public high school. During one of the classes, I shared about the tower of Babel and the truth that we’re all one race—the human race—descended through Adam and Eve (you had more freedom back then than many teachers do today!).

Afterward, several young aboriginal ladies came up to me with more questions about Babel and how we’re all related. After chatting with them, I realized the impact Darwin’s evolutionary ideas had had on them—he believed their people group was less evolved and was in fact the supposed missing link in human evolution. After that, I became passionate about the biblical truth regarding one race and developed a talk and later a book on the topic.

Well, that book is more relevant than ever—issues regarding “race” still plague our Western culture—so this year I significantly updated that book, including adding several brand-new chapters, for a new audience. One Blood is now available for preorder. In it, you’ll discover the truth of one race, one origin, and one Savior and will be equipped to point others toward the biblical truth of our origin and to the only solution for all humanity, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

They’re back for another season!

Our fantastic Butterfly House at the Creation Museum, featuring native North American butterflies and moths, is open once again for our busy summer season. This is our second year with the Butterfly House, and if last year is any indication, it will be very popular again!

Guests loved touring the flower-filled Butterfly House and being surrounded by a variety of North American species such as the iconic monarch, colorful swallowtails, and buckeyes.

Since butterflies are seasonal, the Butterfly House is only open seasonally, from May through September, so come and visit while you can! Due to the cost of replacing the butterflies and moths (they have a short lifespan, so we receive weekly shipments), there is a small fee to enter the house ($4 per person; children 5 and under are free).

The Butterfly House is part of our Creation Zoo complex. The Creation Zoo features a barnyard area, where guests can get up close with a variety of fun animals, as well as our popular Wallaby Walkabout, which allows you to walk with the wallabies and our Aldabra tortoises (who love hanging out on the path and waiting for guests to scratch their shells). We also display a variety of exotic species such as a king vulture, coatis, and a giant anteater.

Our zoo also features the Wonders of Creation stage, where our zookeepers introduce guests to a variety of ambassador animals while teaching fun facts about them, along with biblical worldview teaching about animal kinds, life in a fallen world, and more. It’s another way we reach guests—especially kids who just love the zoo and animal programs—with the message of the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

I encourage you to make plans to visit us this summer—you will love your visit to the Creation Museum! Go to CreationMuseum.org to plan your visit.

We have a special opportunity that ends May 31. But before I get to it, I need you to first read through this blog so you can understand how important this opportunity really is.

In the New Testament, particularly in the Epistles, phrases like “put you in remembrance” or similar wording appears a number of times to remind believers of truths they should know. In the Old Testament, we see the Israelites were prone to forget their history and what God had done for them. So they needed to be reminded of this history.

Because we are fallen, fallible, finite human beings, we are apt to forget what God’s Word teaches, which is why we need to be reminded over and over again.

Learn More

You know, sometimes I think we at Answers in Genesis need to be reminded about our history. That’s one of the reasons I wrote the book Miraculous! that details our journey over many years. Even as I wrote it, I was reminded of the many miracles God provided for us throughout the journey. It’s good to be reminded of what God has done for us.

Each year, I remind the staff of our Mission, Core Values, and Statement of Faith so we won’t forget those.

Why these reminders? Well, because I think when most of us are asked about Answers in Genesis, we talk about the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions. After all, they are the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world and have had over 15 million total visitors since the Creation Museum opened in 2007—and the evangelistic impact is stunning.

Our ongoing guest surveys continue to reveal that around 100,000 people a year testify to being saved as a result of visiting the attractions. Also, the 40 Days of Christian Music festival (40/40 as we call it—this year is the sixth such festival) sees over 2,300 people come to Christ during the 40 days of concerts.

Of course, it’s not just the attractions that have an evangelistic impact. Many Christian leaders have told us that as a result of using our Answers VBS (it’s used by over 15,000 churches, impacting over a million children each year), they’ve never seen so many children trust Christ for salvation.

I’ve also heard numerous testimonies from people who became Christians because they came to a conference or a church where one of us spoke or because they watched our videos on Answers TV, YouTube, or listened to our daily short radio feature—the list goes on and on. The evangelistic impact of AiG is way beyond what we ever imagined it could be.

But you know what this should remind us of? That the attractions, publications, videos, etc. are actually tools to proclaim the core message of the ministry that God called us to broadcast throughout the world—the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel message.

This month, I want to bring us back to focusing on the core message of the ministry and what that entails in regard to what happens at Answers in Genesis (and I’ll get to the special opportunity—I promise!). Let’s be reminded of our Mission Statement:

Answers in Genesis (AiG) exists to proclaim the authority of the Bible—from the very first verse—without compromise by using apologetics in its world-class attractions, dynamic resources, and creative media to communicate the message of God’s Word and the gospel so that believers are equipped to defend the Christian faith and nonbelievers are challenged with the truth of the Bible and its message of salvation.

I also want to remind us of our Core Values:

1. Serve: We serve the Answers in Genesis family and others generously, with excellence, reflecting God’s love.
2. Equip: We equip believers to defend their faith.
3. Relate: We relate the truth of God’s Word and the gospel to all.
4. Value: We value the opportunity and responsibility to publicly share biblical truth.
5. Engage: We engage nonbelievers with sensitivity and love.

Over the years, our supporters have helped enable so many different projects financially and prayerfully. You have given generously to allow us to build the Creation Museum as well as expand it and provide new and updated exhibits. You have enabled us to build the life-size Ark and exhibits and the phenomenal Answers Center that has allowed us to conduct conferences, concerts, and other events to impact tens of thousands of lives.

A lot of staff work hard behind the scenes to ensure our core message—our core ministry—is permeating in everything we do.

Now, as important as all of those projects (and many more) have been and will be in the future, this month, I wanted to remind us that a lot of staff work hard behind the scenes to ensure our core message—our core ministry—is permeating in everything we do. In other words, there are so many things going on daily to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with what is happening in church and culture to help us effectively do all we can to reach people with the solution to man’s problems—God’s Word and the gospel. And we do this in so many ways.

Check out all the different areas of Answers in Genesis in our 2025 Annual Report.

Behind the scenes, we have researchers, writers, editors, graphic designers, social media specialists, videographers, teachers, speakers, translators, and so many others involved in domestic and international ministry to provide all the content and resources needed so our core mission can be fulfilled, while ensuring we never waver from our core message.

So to be up front with you, sometimes we struggle to fund all that happens internally with what many of our staff are involved in for our core mission. For instance, nearly all of our international outreach has to be subsidized by Answers in Genesis–US.

I was reminded of this in February during our ministry trip to Australia. I spoke at conferences and churches in three different states, and each venue was packed! What amazed me on this tour was the large number of people who told me they remember hearing me speak when they were a young child, and now they are bringing their children to hear me.

Quite a number told me their parents (who are now with the Lord) back then had supported our ministry in Australia financially and ensured they used our resources with their children—who were now obtaining our resources for their children.

That impact was because of the core message of the ministry—teaching people the truth about God’s Word and the gospel.

I also met one lady who remembers being in the science class I taught in 1975! She said she remembered all the things I taught about creation and why evolution was wrong, and this had a big impact on her life. I heard similar testimonies from two others who were in my science classes when I was a teacher. I also heard of another lady who points back to those science lessons I taught as what the Lord used to bring her to salvation.

What hit me was that God gave me the blessing of hearing the generational impact of the ministry going back 50 years! And that impact was because of the core message of the ministry—teaching people the truth about God’s Word and the gospel.

So we now come to the special opportunity that ends May 31. A family that has been one of our generous supporters for many years, who understands the importance of supporting our core ministry, has offered us a $1 million match to encourage other supporters to give to our core ministry this month. Such gifts would so encourage us! This family will match every dollar given to the core ministry of AiG through May 31, up to a million dollars. Wow! Having $2 million for the core ministry would be such a help to AiG.

Many years ago, my parents supported a missionary couple serving in Ethiopia. I’ll never forget the time the missionaries asked for funds for a motorcycle so they could easily travel on the tracks and bad roads to reach remote villages to share the gospel. They also shared they desperately needed a refrigerator for their food to keep in such a hot, humid environment.

My father heard from them that they received twice as much funding as they needed for the motorcycle and none for the refrigerator! (They were able to buy their refrigerator with the excess money.) I remember my father saying something like, “Well, people were excited to support the means to get the message of the gospel to remote people, but they didn’t support helping to keep the missionaries alive with needed food.”

I only relate this to say I love to see people supporting all our projects but just wanted to remind us all that there is a lot going on behind the scenes that also needs support to enable us to carry out our mission that impacts lives for eternity.

Would you prayerfully consider making a special gift by May 31 at AnswersDonate.com to help us with this generous matching opportunity to support all of the wonderful evangelistic outreaches across the entire ministry?

It’s really our evangelistic core ministry that enables Answers in Genesis to reach millions upon millions around the world with the most vital message in the universe!

Your prayers and financial support are vital to helping us boldly continue the ministry that the Lord has called us to do—your donation of any size is a great blessing!

Thanks for all you’ve done in supporting us financially and prayerfully.

In Christ,
Ken

This year, we’re celebrating 10 years since the opening of the Ark Encounter. Now, what does this special anniversary have to do with Mother’s Day? Well, they’re connected because our attractions—and the whole AiG ministry—are really a legacy of my parents, who are now both with the Lord.

It’s a legacy of a father who stood boldly on the authority of God’s Word and a mother who loved Jesus, loved God’s Word, and prayed.

It’s a legacy of a father who stood boldly on the authority of God’s Word and a mother who loved Jesus, loved God’s Word, and prayed. My mum was a prayer warrior. Up until the Lord called her home, she prayed for me, my wife, our children and grandchildren, and the AiG ministry as much as she could.

We’ve seen countless prayers answered over the years, often in spectacular ways, and are so grateful for my mum’s commitment to praying for us. Yes, the Ark Encounter celebrating 10 years is more than just a celebration of what the Lord has done through that attraction (our research shows 70,000 people come to Christ each year after their visit!), it’s a reminder of the legacy of godliness and prayer that built this ministry and our attractions.

Thank you, Lord, for a godly mum.

If you’re a mother yourself, I pray this encourages you to pray for your children and grandchildren. Be ceaseless in praying for them and trusting the Lord’s care and sovereignty in their lives. You will leave a legacy. What kind of legacy will it be?

I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

This item was written with the assistance of AiG’s research team.

Many years ago, I coauthored a book called Already Compromised, detailing research we commissioned on the state of Christian colleges—and the “report card” wasn’t good. Research showed many of these colleges, which looked great from the outside, were extremely compromised with man’s ideas. Instead of standing boldly on God’s Word, many of these schools sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of their students.

Things haven’t gotten any better over the years. A while ago, author Randy Alcorn published an article with an interesting title: “The Problem of False Advertising by Christian Colleges.” He writes,

Over twenty years ago, I wrote an article titled The Scandal of Evangelical Dishonesty. The subjects I addressed were uncomfortable and controversial, including the issue of false advertising by Christian colleges. But this problem has not gone away, and if anything, the situation is worse now than it was then.

I would agree—the problem in our Christian colleges has not gotten better with time. Even more have compromised on Scripture, even if their supporters and the parents of students don’t know it yet. Alcorn went on to say,

Many Christian colleges and universities routinely print doctrinal statements in their catalogs that are not believed or taught by some or even many of their professors. Years ago, the academic vice president of a major Christian liberal arts college confided to me, “If Christian parents actually knew what their children are being taught in our classrooms, they would pull them out of college tomorrow.” And, I would add, they’d never give another dime to that college.

If Christian colleges told the truth in their promotional materials, some would read like this: “Thirty-four percent of our faculty believe in the inerrancy of God’s Word. Twenty-one percent of our science teachers believe the biblical account of creation. No one in our psychology department believes in the doctrine of original sin. Two out of our three sociology teachers are proabortion and defenders of homosexual lifestyles. The director of our philosophy department is an agnostic. The head of our Bible department hasn’t attended church for ten years because he doesn’t believe in organized religion.”

Why not be honest and admit this publicly? The answer is simple: So Christian parents will keep paying to send their students there, and so the college’s major Christian donors will keep sending money.

He then cautioned parents not to just assume that because a college says it is Christian, or uses the right words in its marketing materials, that the school really does stand boldly on Scripture or teaches a biblical worldview. I offer the same caution.

Most parents, I believe, are non-discerning when it comes to sending their children to a “Christian” academic institution. So much more research and discernment are needed as parents are really gambling with their children’s minds and thus their eternity.

Most Christian colleges don’t actually offer that, even if they advertise it.

If you are wanting to send your child to a Christian college (or you are attending one yourself), you’re probably doing it because you want them to have a wonderful Christian environment, be taught through the lens of Scripture, and graduate better equipped to serve Christ however he has called them to. Most Christian colleges don’t actually offer that, even if they advertise it.

You must do your due diligence to dig past the marketing, speak with actual professors or deans at the college, and find out what the school really believes (looking at their social media and who they invite or whose posts they share is a great way to start). Don’t make the investment until you know for sure that this college is worth it!

If you want help, I encourage you to make plans to attend our Creation College Expo 2026 at the Ark Encounter, November 5–7, 2026. This event is free for students in grades 7–12 and features colleges and universities from across the nation that take the same stand we do on the authority of Scripture and the age of the earth. It’s a great place to start your search (of course, you still need to do your own due diligence).

Your student will also enjoy free Ark admission and teaching from myself, AiG’s Avery Foley, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, and Dr. Cal Beisner from the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, along with a drama from Logos Theatre.

One of the schools coming to this event, and one of our partner schools, is Cedarville University in Ohio. They are proud to publicly partner with us, stating:

The Word of God — from creation to Revelation — influences every part of life at Cedarville. Like our partners at Answers in Genesis, we’re committed to biblical authority. Through excellent academics, intentional discipleship, and vibrant community, Cedarville is passionate about transforming students’ lives.

As a Cedarville student, you’ll be equipped to excel in your chosen profession and stand for biblical truth, opening doors to make a lasting impact for Christ.

They even recently hosted AiG’s VP of education, Dr. Georgia Purdom, on their podcast, highlighting her as one of their alums. You can learn more about the impact Cedarville had on her—as well as many other topics they discussed—in this video:

It’s finally open!

We’re thrilled to announce our brand-new Creation Museum restaurant, Sprig & Stone, is finally open! Our design and site development teams have done a phenomenal job planning and building this beautiful new space.

This new dining area will be a huge help in serving the needs of our guests as the busy summer season approaches. Sprig & Stone is four times bigger than our previous restaurant, Noah’s Café, so it will really enhance guest experience (and we’re making exciting plans for the old Noah’s Café space too).

Thank you to our generous supporters who gave to make this much-needed new restaurant a reality.

Come and visit soon. Make your plans at CreationMuseum.org.

Today is the National Day of Prayer here in America. Have you taken time to stop and specifically pray for our nation? This nation needs much prayer!

On this day, Americans from across the nation, along with many of our government leaders, will stop and seek the Lord regarding America, her leaders, and her people. If you haven’t taken some time today to pray, I encourage you to do so before the day is over and maybe make plans to host a prayer meeting at your home or church for the 2027 event.

The theme for this year, according to the National Day of Prayer website, is “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations”:

Every year we pray and seek the Lord for the National Day of Prayer theme that will guide our year and unite the tens of thousands of prayer gatherings we host from coast to coast. This year on May 7, 2026, we will unite and pray as our new 2026 theme calls us to, “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations.”

Last year our theme was inspired by a prayer that the apostle Paul prayed over the believers in Rome.

In 2026, our theme is inspired by a passionate prayer of Thanksgiving, prayed by King David in 1 Chronicles 16 after bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This chapter records Israel celebrating the return of the Ark after being separated for 70 years earlier. While God was always watching over Israel and just a prayer away from them and King David, the Ark of the Covenant represented the presence of God. . . .

We are excited and delighted to share the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme with you, and ask that you commit to pray with us each week as God blesses us as we seek Him in Scripture and fervent prayer and glorifying Him through the 2026 National Day of Prayer theme that prompts us to, “Glorify God Among the Nations, Seeking Him in All Generations.” (emphasis in original)

We pray that God would be glorified here in America and glorified around the world so that “all tribes and peoples and languages” (Revelation 7:9) will worship and praise the Lamb of God in our generation and in those to come.

What is the best museum in Northern Kentucky and the best in all of Kentucky? Well, obviously we think it’s the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum! And Kentucky agrees—the Creation Museum has been nominated for best museum in Kentucky in the Best of Kentucky contest from Kentucky Living, while Ark Encounter is a finalist for best museum in the Best of NKY contest and a finalist for best kid-friendly attraction in Kentucky Living’s the Best of Kentucky contest.

The Ark Encounter is an incredible attraction and a great tourism asset to Northern Kentucky.

With three decks filled with world-class exhibits, the largest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world (it’s truly an architectural marvel), an interactive zoo experience, a children’s playground, a unique carousel, and so much more, the Ark Encounter is an incredible attraction and a great tourism asset to Northern Kentucky. It’s no surprise this amazing attraction is a finalist for best museum in the Best of NKY contest and best kid-friendly attraction in the state in the Best of Kentucky contest. In fact, the Ark is the biggest themed attraction in Kentucky and the biggest Christian themed attraction in the world.

And the Creation Museum features stunning exhibits—including our brand-new Radiance exhibit—a totally unique Plants of the Bible Conservatory, beautiful botanical gardens, a zoo, playground, planetarium, special effects theater, and so much more! Again, it’s no surprise this incredible attraction has been nominated as best museum for the Best of Kentucky contest.

Voting is now open for both contests, and anyone can vote from anywhere, once per day. If you love the Ark and museum, please vote for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum for each contest every day until voting closes. Winners will be announced May 19 and August 19, 2026, respectively.

You can vote for Ark Encounter here for Best of NKY and both the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter here for Best of Kentucky.

A church in South Carolina has been in the news lately after it posted a video showing the graduation of its 2026 “Gracism” class, who all left as “ministers of reconciliation.” What is “gracism”?

It appears the church training came from a group called Gracism Global, which defines the word as “extending positive favor to other people regardless of, and sometimes because of, their color, class, or culture.” Their website doesn’t give much more information than that beyond “The Eight Sayings of a Gracist”:

1. I will lift you up
2. I will cover you
3. I will share with you
4. I will honor you
5. I will stand with you
6. I will consider you
7. I will celebrate with you
8. I will heal with you

When you read through the short description of each of these sayings, it sounds very much like typical DEI trainings that emphasize and draw attention to so-called “race” and divide everyone into either oppressed or oppressor classes, simply based on what the person looks like on the outside (for example, under “I will share with you,” it says, “Opening up networks and resources to others who are systematically downtrodden, and refusing special treatment that may hurt them”). Of course, the words used can have so many different meanings, it’s hard to know what’s really meant by them (which might be purposeful!).

As AiG speaker Bryan Osborne shows in his book Woke Injustice, the world’s way of dealing with racism—which is often adopted by the church—not only doesn’t work, but is completely unbiblical. It always ends up watering down the gospel or teaching a “new gospel” (which Paul says is no gospel at all).

The true answer to racism is not highlighting our differences and emphasizing them over and over again. Nor is it judging people based on the shade of their skin (this happens constantly in woke/DEI trainings—anyone with a light shade of skin is automatically an oppressor, and anyone with a dark shade of skin is automatically oppressed). The true answer to racism is understanding the human race based on biblical history and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The ultimate problem isn’t skin—it’s sin!

If we want to end the sin of racism, we must teach the biblical truth found in Genesis that we’re all one race (which has been confirmed by science), all descended from Adam, and therefore all sinners in need of a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. The ultimate problem isn’t skin—it’s sin! That’s the root cause of racism, and the only answer to this spiritual problem is a spiritual solution: the gospel! In fact, the solution to all of man’s issues is God’s Word and the gospel.

You can learn more about the biblical and scientific teaching regarding race in my recently extensively updated and revised—with brand-new chapters added—book, One Blood. It’s now available for preorder and is a powerful message that our confused culture and (sadly) church needs to hear.

You can find One Blood at AnswersBookstore.com.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes at AiG! And we recently invited creatives from across the nation to go behind the scenes with us during our second annual Spark at the Ark event.

These creatives—people working in the film industry, theater, museums, theme parks, and more—loved getting special tours of the attractions, seeing our incredible design studios where our exhibits are designed and fabricated, participating in workshops, and learning from experts across a variety of creative fields. Attendees really loved touring our new conservatory exhibiting the plants of the Bible.

Enjoy these photos from the event:

Spark at the Ark is taking place again in 2027—don’t miss it! Save the date: April 19–21, 2027. Registration will be available soon.

We hope to see you next year for this incredible and very unique experience.

It’s our busy spring season, packed with back-to-back events—including our recent outreach to the Deaf community, Deaf Days, at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. This event impacted around 300 Deaf guests this year!

Our 2026 Deaf Days theme was Identity—a vital topic in today’s culture and the perfect tie-in to our brand-new Radiance exhibit at the Creation Museum. Each speaker, either in ASL (American Sign Language) or with an interpreter, addressed the issue of identity from a biblical perspective through personal testimonies and teaching sessions. I had the privilege of presenting One Race, One Blood, affirming the truth from God’s Word that we are all descendants of Adam, created in God’s image. It took 45 dedicated volunteers to pull this event off, including both Deaf individuals and ASL interpreters.

This year, we also saw an increase in Deaf/blind guests and guests with low vision, and we were pleased to offer interpreted tactile experiences at both attractions for them.

Enjoy these photos:

The Deaf are one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with many Deaf ministries as we boldly proclaim the message of salvation to the Deaf community. Throughout the year, we continue this outreach by providing ASL interpreters during the summer season, offering ASL music videos for our Answers VBS, providing ASL interpretation on select conferences on Answers TV, and more.

Save the date for next year’s Deaf Days: March 5–6, 2027.

And please pray for us as the conferences continue—next up is our Answers Homeschool Experience, May 14–16, 2026.

Well, the associate professor of biology at the University of Minnesota–Morris, P.Z. Myers, who has been obsessed with me and AiG for years, recently wrote a blog about me titled, “Waiting for Another Creepy Old Man to Die.”

He ended the blog stating: “That’s a problem with authoritarian cults. They are ruled for life by unpleasant, weird people who alienate everyone around them, and maybe instill in them the ambition to be in charge on their own. I hope I outlive Ken Ham, because I’d really like to see the chaos that will follow on his death.”

As we know, God’s Word states that,

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die. (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2)

So when any one of us dies is not up to what some atheist professor wants. God is in control of both Myers’ life and ours.

But this pagan university professor, who has continually blasphemed and mocked God and Christians, needs to wake up and take note of God’s warning:

And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. (Hebrews 9:27 LSB)

And if Myers continues in his willing ignorance and rebellion against God, he will suffer a second death after the first death:

But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8 LSB)

I would ask us to all pray for P.Z. Myers as he is well on his way to a Christless eternity. He is 68 years old (younger than me), but God could end his earthly life at any second.

I thought I would start off with this today as I want to remind us all that we are in a spiritual war. And this war is raging about us even more aggressively now than we’ve experienced in the past here in the West.

Years ago, someone said to me, “If you stand on the devil’s toes, he reacts. You guys must be kicking him in the shins.”

As we move the battlefront forward, proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel, we expect the enemy to fight back.

Recently, I’ve seen a level of hate against us that seems to be growing. And really, we should expect this. As we see the enormous number of people saved through this ministry, including over 100,000 a year at the attractions alone, we know the devil will be active. Actually, I believe that because we are in a war, if we’re not getting opposition, we should ask ourselves what we are doing! As we move the battlefront forward, proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel, we expect the enemy to fight back.

Just to give you a sampling of the enemies of God lashing out at us (reminding us of this spiritual war we are in), I will include just a sampling of the 20,000+ comments on one of my Facebook posts. The post was short:

Now, there were over 20,000 comments on this post, the majority from enemies of God! Let me share some with you:

Okay, you get the idea! There were thousands like this, many of which I would not put in this letter because they are so perverse. But should we be shocked at such a response from the world? Actually, we shouldn’t. But this last one I’m including is extremely sad because it highlights the state of the majority of our Christian institutions:

So many young people from the church have gone to a compromising Bible college/university and come out believing no different than those who posted the comments I included above. A sad state of affairs but a situation that has greatly contributed to a lukewarm church that is, by and large, not impacting the church and culture as it should.

We really are in a raging war. That’s why Apostle Paul uses so much war terminology, reminding us to put on the whole armor of God so we can fight in this battle.

Now we also need to be reminded that this is a religious war.

Consider the atheists and other secularists (and even some people who identify as Christians) who went “ape” over my post. Over 90% of the comments were negative and most of them were highly emotional in attacking me and what Scripture teaches about origins—blaspheming God, attacking the Bible, many mocking me with the worst kind of profanity, and questioning my intelligence (the word idiot was used hundreds of times!). The emotions on display exposed thousands of evolutionists passionately defending their belief system. So many were so profane or blasphemous that we hid their comments. Obviously for them, origins is more than a science issue. Their worldview is challenged by the Bible.

The evolutionary worldview is a religion, one that’s practiced by those who attack Christianity. They have a nontheistic religion; in fact, evolution fits one of the Merriam-Webster dictionary definitions of religion: “a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.” The dictionary definition of religion certainly describes the worldview of evolutionary naturalism. The beliefs of evolutionism purport to explain the entire world’s existence by means of evolutionary naturalism, and thus, it is an all-encompassing faith—a religious worldview.

Furthermore, the secularists who publicly argue against biblical Christianity (like the thousands on my Facebook post) have their own religious cause to promote as they zealously defend their belief in a naturalistic system of origins. What else would you call what they practice but a religion?

And following the definition above, because zealous evolutionists hold their beliefs with “ardor” and “faith,” they can be described as evangelists for their worldview—defending a belief system that informs how they wish to lead a life apart from God. So by this definition and what we saw from the zealous, angry evolutionists on my Facebook page, evolution is a religious faith. And thus, its avid proponents are religious.

As I say in my talks, in an ultimate sense, there are only two religions in the world—one based on God’s Word and the other based on man’s word.

In an ultimate sense, there are only two religions in the world—one based on God’s Word and the other based on man’s word.

At Answers in Genesis, we are extremely active in this religious war! Thank you for the prayers and financial resources you generously provide so that we can use all the “weaponry” we can to continue to push the battlefront forward in this religious war. Yes, we are zealots in this war as we are fighting for the King of kings.

And what is this “weaponry”? It’s AiG’s evangelistic and equipping content that’s proclaimed without compromise in its world-class attractions, dynamic resources, and creative media to equip believers, defend the Christian faith, and challenge nonbelievers with the truth of the Bible and its message of salvation!

Our just-released annual report for 2025 gives a great overview of the reach and impact of AiG’s ministry where you’ll see that tens of millions were directly impacted and over 100,000 responded to the gospel. It’s the core ministry of Answers in Genesis that develops and delivers the evangelistic content that the Lord has used to impact so many lives for Christ.

And I’m thrilled to share that, because of the impact, a supporter has offered a core ministry matching gift commitment for this spring. From now until the end of May, all gifts to the core ministry will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000,000. Wow!

I urge you to prayerfully consider a generous gift today to AiG’s core ministry that will be matched 100% through the end of May up to $1,000,000. You can make your gift at AnswersDonate.com.

I’m writing this while in Australia, right after speaking to 15,000 people in California on the way here. Down under, I’ve been speaking with E.Z. Zwayne from Living Waters (Ray Comfort’s ministry) to packed audiences, including so many young people hungry for answers on how to deal with the problems in our increasingly pagan culture in the West. And of course, I tell them God’s Word and the gospel have always been and always will be the solution. Yes, we established some new battlefronts in California and are now doing this in Australia. The war continues!

Please pray the Lord would continue to protect and increase the ministry he has given us. I’m so grateful for your prayers and financial support, and thank you for sending a gift today to help us take full advantage of the matching gift commitment that has been offered through the end of May. The more resources you are able to supply us with, the more “weaponry” we will use across America and around the world to reach people with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

Oh, and pray for all those who wrote the negative and often nasty responses! Pray God will use what they have heard to convict them and bring them to a knowledge of the truth and respond to the gospel. And pray earnestly for atheist P.Z. Myers!

In Christ,
Ken

I have a multiple-choice question for you. Hopefully if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you can get the correct answer! Ready to challenge yourself?

Over the years, I’ve asked this question when speaking to churches or other groups, and I find most people answer with A: No, they’ve always lived in Australia. (Is that what you guessed?) This question is one of many I ask to help people learn how to develop a truly Christian worldview.

After finding most people give A as the answer, here’s what I do next. I ask a series of questions:

• How many of you believe in Noah’s ark? Most hands go up.
• How many believe two of each kind of land animal, including the kangaroo kind, went on board the ark? Most hands go up.
• How many believe there was a global flood? Most hands go up.
• How many believe the ark landed on the mountains of Ararat in the Middle East? Most hands go up.
• How many now believe kangaroos once lived in the Middle East? People laugh as their hands go up.

So what’s the correct answer? It’s C: Yes!

In our anti-God, anti-Christian age, a biblical worldview is desperately needed—and we can even use kangaroos to begin to develop it!

But most people don’t get it right because most people have not been taught to think with a biblical worldview by building their thinking on the Bible. Most churches haven’t taught how to develop a truly biblical worldview. Instead, many Christians have been very secularized, adding the Bible to their thinking rather than starting with God’s Word as the foundation.

In our anti-God, anti-Christian age, a biblical worldview is desperately needed—and we can even use kangaroos to begin to develop it!

And if you’re an educator, I encourage you to become equipped to help others build a biblical worldview by attending our upcoming Answers for Educators event, July 20–21, 2026, at the Ark Encounter and our Christian school, Answers Academy. With focused instruction and practical application, you will leave better equipped to help others start with God’s Word and build their thinking from there. Registration includes a 3-Day Bouncer Pass to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.

You can learn more and register on our events page.

And a big thank-you to our sponsors, Herzog Foundation and Cedarville University, for helping us put this event together.

In over 50 years of traveling and speaking on Genesis, biblical worldview, and apologetics, one comment I continue to hear over and over again is, “I grew up in the church my whole life, and I’ve never heard any of this!” Why is it that so few Christians can answer the skeptical questions of our day that attack God’s Word—particularly, Genesis?

Well, I’ll give you three reasons:

1. They’ve compromised with the atheistic ideas of our day. So many Christians have adopted evolutionary ideas and added them into Scripture. This makes it impossible to answer basic questions about Genesis because, well, you don’t really believe Genesis at all! Man’s interpretations are your authority, not God and his Word.
2. Many Christians don’t know what the Bible teaches. We’re living in a time of rampant biblical illiteracy. Many Christians can’t answer questions because they don’t know what the Word of God teaches.
3. There’s been a lack of apologetics (faith-defense) teaching in our churches and homes. Many Christians attend churches that preach “feel good,” or what I call “fluff and stuff,” shallow messages, rather than actually teaching the biblical worldview and wrestling with the questions of our day. Many pastors purposefully avoid Genesis because they don’t want to be controversial! But Genesis is foundational to our biblical worldview, so avoiding Genesis means that pastors will also avoid talking about hot-button issues that are answered in Genesis, like gender, sexuality, race, sanctity of life, and more. The result is generations of Christians who don’t know what they believe or how to defend the truth of Scripture.

In a recent YouTube video for the Answers in Genesis Canada channel, Calvin Smith (our AiG–Canada director) expounded on these concerns, showing how Christians cannot answer questions until they take Genesis as literal history. I encourage you to watch this video (and be sure to subscribe to their channel):

We need to raise up generations who know what God’s Word teaches and are equipped to think biblically, allowing God’s Word to be the authority in all areas, and thus to have answers for skeptical questions.

So what do we do about it? Well, we need to raise up generations who know what God’s Word teaches (that means we need to be reading our Bibles!) and are equipped to think biblically, allowing God’s Word to be the authority in all areas, and thus to have answers for skeptical questions.

A great place to start learning is our website AnswersInGenesis.org. We’re constantly posting new articles and videos to help equip you with answers. I encourage you to visit our website often to be equipped to think biblically and answer the questions of our day.

I am so thankful for our powerful Answers in Genesis vacation Bible school curriculum (Answers VBS). It’s packed with Scripture and biblical teaching and impacts around one million children each summer. That massive impact is why Answers VBS is evangelistic and features apologetics, biblical worldview, Scripture, and—of course—fun! We have many Christian leaders tell us they have never seen so many children come to the Lord as they have after using AiG’s VBS.

Our 2026 Answers VBS is currently on sale for 10% off (and we will also send you two free gifts with any Emerald Crossing kit purchase during the sale). Don’t miss this last opportunity to enjoy a discount on your summer program!

This VBS is Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23. It takes children from anxiety to peace as they learn, through the life of David and Psalm 23, to trust the Good Shepherd. So many children are suffering from anxiety, and God’s Word has the answer! I’m thrilled that our VBS program continues to engage with the culture in a relevant way each year.

It’s not too late to plan a VBS or order your Starter or Super Starter Kit—though supplies are limited, so be sure to place your order soon.

Streaming giant Netflix recently released a brand-new documentary miniseries titled The Dinosaurs, featuring lifelike animated dinosaurs and narration from Morgan Freeman. But was the documentary scientific?

Well, AiG paleoartist Joel Leineweber recently filmed a response to The Dinosaurs, examining the artwork and “science” of the series in light of what we find in both the fossil record and the Word of God. I encourage you to watch it.

Unsurprisingly, The Dinosaurs is filled with atheistic evolutionary teaching and a big push to make dinosaurs seem very birdlike (to try to indoctrinate people with the evolutionary belief that dinosaurs evolved into birds). Of course, we’re not surprised—Netflix certainly isn’t trying in any way to push a biblical worldview!

If you’re looking for a streaming platform that does honor God and that views science through the lens of a biblical worldview, I encourage you to check out Answers TV. Our streaming platform features kids’ programs, in-depth college-level series, nature documentaries, science shows, and so much more—including many programs in Spanish and also a number in Arabic. And it’s all designed to point you and your family toward the truth of God’s Word and a more biblical worldview.

According to God’s Word, children are a blessing and a gift from God to their parents. This means they are not a commodity to be acquired by any means necessary by anyone. That should be an obvious truth, but in our day and age it’s not. What do I mean by this?

Well, modern reproductive technologies allow children’s genetics to be selected from a catalog, with the sperm and egg “donors” (really sellers) being chosen for their IQ, appearance, or accomplishments. IVF allows babies to be sorted according to their genetics, with those whose genetics don’t “measure up” being thrown away (literally thrown away as medical waste—killing [murdering] a human being made in God’s image). Homosexual parents, who could never have children on their own, can purchase eggs and sperm and even rent a woman’s womb to create a child who is purposefully deprived either of a mother or a father. It’s tragic, and it’s the commodification of children.

AiG’s Avery Foley recently interviewed Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, about this issue. I encourage you to watch it—it’s a powerful interview.

Yes, we need to be defending unborn life whether that life is being attacked by abortion or by reproductive technology.

Foolishness is always the end result of rejecting God’s Word and starting with human “wisdom” instead. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

And this foolishness has been on clear display through the words of Texas Democrat James Talarico, who claims that God is “nonbinary” and that the Bible sometimes refers to God “as a female.” Biblically, this is nonsense—and AiG’s Dr. Terry Mortenson and I explain why in this video:

He’s leading others astray, and according to God’s Word, he’s a wolf who is perverting the grace of God into an excuse to sin.

But Talarico is not just a politician—he is also apparently attending a Presbyterian seminary (don’t worry, his seminary certainly won’t be coming to our Creation College Expo this November!). Sadly, his anti-biblical beliefs are becoming increasingly common among theologians and scholars, not because the Bible has changed or because it isn’t clear but because they’ve taken their own ideas and added them into the text. And they are notorious at taking verses out of context. They’re doing eisegesis (into), not exegesis (out of).

I doubt Talarico’s pastor is calling out his heresy and false teaching—but that’s what he needs! He’s leading others astray, and according to God’s Word, he’s a wolf who is perverting the grace of God into an excuse to sin.

I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:3–4)

If you’re a pastor or a Christian leader, we want you to be above reproach, standing faithful in an age of compromise. There is so much pressure on the church and her leaders to spew the kinds of teachings that Talarico does—but we cannot do so if we want to please our Lord. And being above reproach, faithfully living without compromise, is the theme of our upcoming Answers for Pastors & Leaders conference at the Ark Encounter, September 29–October 1, 2026.

Hear from myself, E.Z. Zwayne of Living Waters, Dr. H. B. Charles Jr., Costi Hinn, Dennis Rainey, and so many others. The conference also includes a special session with Megan Basham for wives and a concert featuring the Gettys. It will be an amazing time of equipping leaders to serve the Lord faithfully, without compromise, no matter what the culture does.

The early bird special ends soon, so be sure to register today.

Thank you to our sponsors, AdelFi (the Christian Community Credit Union), Herzog Foundation, The Master’s University, and Nutramax Laboratories, for helping make this event possible through their generous sponsorship.

Don’t miss A Great Awakening!

Mally and I took some of our children and grandchildren to see this excellent new movie produced by Sight & Sound Theatres in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. We all loved it! It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. It’s emotional and very convicting—a movie about the life of the famous preacher George Whitefield. I was so thrilled our family could see this.

“A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history.”

I encourage every family to find a theater near you that is showing it and do not miss it! It may only be showing in your area for another few days or so (it’s in about 1,000 US theaters through this weekend, but some are carrying it a bit longer).

Here’s how Sight & Sound describes this film:

A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield sparks the First Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering proclamation of liberty in Christ. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield’s closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin. With the nation’s freedom hanging in the balance, Franklin discovers true liberty cannot only be written into law—it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.

The film will be available to rent or purchase in mid-May, but if you can, go and experience it on the big screen (I urge you to do so!).

Warning: It will create a great awakening in you! It convicted me to be even more bold about proclaiming God’s Word and the gospel and calling out the error of church leaders leading people astray!

Noah’s flood was a global flood. That means the water totally covered the entire globe.

There’s really no way to get around it, unless you’re willing to do hermeneutical (interpretative) gymnastics with the Bible. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament affirm the global nature of the flood.

For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. (Genesis 6:17)

The flood continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. (Genesis 7:17–22)

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:37–39)

Because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. (1 Peter 3:20)

Man’s interpretation of geology is now the authority, not the Word of God.

And yet despite the absolute clarity of Scripture, so many scholars, Christian leaders, and others still insist the flood could have been local. That’s not because of the text—it’s because they have already adopted the idea of millions of years of slow and gradual processes. Man’s interpretation of geology is now the authority, not the Word of God.

Dr. Hugh Ross is one of these compromising leaders who has adopted man’s ideas and added them into the Bible, including in a new book that he recently talked about with Eric Metaxas. I responded to their interview in this video posted to our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel.

It’s so discouraging to see men like Dr. Ross and Eric Metaxas influencing so many people to abandon the authority of God’s Word and instead adopt man’s word as they reinterpret the clear teaching of Scripture. It’s an attack on biblical authority.

Because of men like them, so many Christian colleges and other institutions have likewise abandoned biblical authority, adopting man’s word as their real authority. I am very thankful for the minority—and, sadly, it is the minority—of Christian colleges who stand on God’s Word in every area from the very first verse, colleges like Maranatha Baptist University, one of our official partnership colleges.

Located in Watertown, Wisconsin, this school—which offers dual enrollment, undergraduate, graduate, and even seminary degrees—exists to “develop leaders for ministry in the local church and the world ‘to the praise of his glory’” (a mission statement taken directly from Ephesians 1:12 KJV: “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ”). They believe the “primary purpose of every Christian is to glorify God through one’s chosen occupation and church membership, and by serving others in God-honoring ways.”

Here’s what their CEO said of their partnership with us,

We are grateful for AiG’s dynamic initiative “to proclaim the authority of the Bible” and we appreciate that, though exposing error, AiG’s champions are always gracious in their methods. The message captivates audiences of all academic levels and is scripturally sound. Maranatha and AiG share a passion to inspire others to uphold the faith. We both strive to develop leaders who will champion Truth in a culture that has largely rejected the very concept. Therefore, we are excited to partner with Answers in Genesis, “To the Praise of His Glory.”

There are so few Christian colleges that stand on God’s Word, so we are very thankful for the ones that do!

There are so few Christian colleges that stand on God’s Word, so we are very thankful for the ones that do!

You can meet representatives from colleges like MBU at our upcoming Creation College Expo (November 5–7, 2026) at the Ark Encounter. It’s a free event for 7th–12th grade students (and includes free admission to the Ark Encounter, along with discounts for family). Speakers this year include myself, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, and Dr. Calvin Beisner, and there will be a presentation from Logos Theatre.

The account of how God built the Answers in Genesis ministry—including the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter—is truly miraculous. From a human perspective, the story doesn’t make any sense. It was clearly a work of God from the beginning. And I love sharing what God has done, as I did recently in a podcast episode for Crosspoint with Mark Taylor.

I tell the story in my book Miraculous!, but you can enjoy the “short” version in this podcast episode. I encourage you to listen and to share it with others.

Yes, we praise the Lord for what he’s done and continues to do through the AiG ministry.

I praise the Lord for the honor and privilege of speaking to 9,000 students and faculty at Liberty University recently. It was such a blessing to be able to share the foundational importance of Genesis to our biblical worldview and the gospel message, along with an emphasis on biblical authority, with them.

The founder of Liberty University, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, loved the AiG ministry and organized for the university to grant me an honorary doctorate on May 7, 2004. Dr. Falwell visited the Creation Museum not long before it opened in early 2007, the year he went to his heavenly home. He was so excited and told me he wanted all Liberty students to visit this attraction.

Jerry’s son, Jonathan Falwell, is now the chancellor of the university. The president is Dondi E. Costin. I want to thank both of them for their trust in me and our ministry and for the invitation to speak in chapel. (Here is the article the school wrote regarding the content of my talk.)

I will be coming back to Lynchburg, VA, later in the year to speak at Thomas Road Baptist Church where Rev. Jonathan Falwell is the senior pastor. If you’re in the area, be sure to make plans to attend and bring others with you.

Keep an eye on our event calendar for coming details.

Construction is nearly complete on the new restaurant at the Creation Museum. We’re thrilled for a new space that will allow us to better serve our guests. Enjoy these behind-the-scenes photos.

The crew has been diligently pouring the stunning new floor and installing the windows while our exhibit artists continue to hand-paint gorgeous murals on the interior walls. It all looks spectacular!

This brand-new space is going to be a phenomenal enhancement to the museum experience.

Our current restaurant, Noah’s Café, just isn’t large enough to keep up with all the guests visiting—especially during the busy summer months (a great problem to have!). We can’t wait to welcome our guests into this new space and serve them better on their next visit to the Creation Museum.

Consider groups like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and many other cults that use the Bible to justify their unbiblical positions. Or the many Christians (and professing Christians) who try to justify positions they personally want to hold to—such as gay “marriage,” flat-earth theories, that we supposedly shouldn’t judge anyone, etc. How can this be?

Well, in a way, people can use the Bible to justify any position they want. It happens all the time. They do this by taking verses out of context, quoting only part of a verse, claiming that the meaning only applied in a past culture, and so on.

If the Bible really is God’s Word and is infallible and inerrant, then we must let it speak to us in context.

It really comes down to how one views Scripture. If the Bible really is God’s Word and is infallible and inerrant, then we must let it speak to us in context, considering the type of literature being used (e.g., the book of Psalms is written in poetic language, but Genesis is a historical narrative), the rules and mechanics of the original language, etc. As I say, we need to use the grammatical-historical interpretive method.

I bring this up because the governor of Kentucky (Andy Beshear) recently used the Bible to supposedly justify his position on supporting transgender surgeries and hormone treatment for minors who claim to be transgender. This governor supports transgenderism, the LGBTQ movement as a whole, abortion, and so on. His worldview is not biblical at all.

We and other Christians like Al Mohler, the president of Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, have taken the governor to task over his claim that he uses verses about loving others as a basis for vetoing legislation that bans transgender procedures for minors. If the governor truly loved people (including children), he would be doing all he could to stop the murder of children in their mothers’ wombs and to outlaw these harmful transgender procedures and “treatments.”

Now, Answers in Genesis has been dealing biblically with the LGBTQ issue for a long time. As part of that, we recently opened the beautiful Radiance exhibit, which is based on God’s clear Word understood correctly. As our Creation Museum website says,

Radiance features stunning displays that challenge guests to consider their identity in light of the Bible. Special effects and dramatic lighting illustrate both the turmoil and darkness that exist when someone has rejected their biblical identity and, conversely, the beauty that’s revealed when someone turns to the truth.

At the heart of this exhibit is a desire to see everyone, particularly young people, understand the truth regarding their identity—that they are made in the image of God [and created either male or female]—and to help equip family and friends of those struggling, so they can help their loved ones through these emotionally charged crises.

We hope that this exhibit will help many discover their true identity rooted in Christ and find the peace and freedom that can only come from our good God.

Come visit this spectacular exhibit soon at the Creation Museum! Go to CreationMuseum.org/tickets.

He is risen!

Today is Easter Sunday, when we specially celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the God-man, from the grave. There is no event so central to the Christian faith as the physical resurrection of Christ—it secures our present hope of forgiveness and new life in Christ and our future hope of life everlasting.

And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. (1 Corinthians 15:14–26)

(You’ll notice the Apostle Paul directly connects Christ’s death and resurrection with a historical Adam. Yes, the foundation of the gospel really is in Genesis!)

So how should we celebrate this greatest of all events? Well, I recently filmed a video sharing my thoughts on Easter traditions and how we can use this holiday to point kids toward the Savior. You can watch that video below:

I pray today is a wonderful celebration for your family as Christians around the world remember the shed blood of Jesus and his victory over sin and the grave.

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. (Matthew 28:6)

Joe Rogan hosts one of the most popular podcasts in the world. In past episodes, he has mocked Jesus and the Bible. But he’s been in the news over the past few months for hosting Christians on his show, asking good questions about the Bible, and even saying good things about Jesus and church. What’s going on?

Many people are wondering if Rogan has become a Christian or is at least more spiritually curious (in a good way). In the recent video below, AiG speaker Bryan Osborne looks at Rogan’s past episodes and discusses what’s going on and how Christians should react to “celebrity conversions.”

We pray the Lord continues to wake people up, show them the truth of God’s Word and the gospel, and lead them to saving faith!

I was raised on God’s Word from the time I was very young. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know that Jesus’ death on the cross wasn’t the end but that, three days later, he rose again! I’m sure that’s true for many of you reading this. But have you ever stopped to think that, as a young child, you knew something that Jesus’ own disciples didn’t understand—at least not right away?

After Jesus’ death on the cross, his disciples scattered, hiding in fear for their own lives. We have no evidence in the Gospels that any of them expected Jesus to come back from the dead (even though he’d told them he would!). Even after the tomb was discovered to be empty, they still struggled to understand.

And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. (Matthew 28:17)

But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. (Mark 16:11)

But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. (Luke 24:11)

Then the other disciple [John], who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. (John 20:8–9)

Even in the midst of the heaviness of the cross, every Christian has a heart of joy and hope because we know what the disciples didn’t—Sunday morning came, the tomb is empty, and our Lord is risen to reign forevermore!

Yes, every single Gospel mentions that the disciples didn’t understand! It wasn’t until they saw the risen Lord, and ate with him and talked with him, that they believed and then began to boldly speak of him everywhere after the Holy Spirit arrived at Pentecost.

Every Good Friday, millions of Christians gather for a service to remember the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross. It’s a sober service, focused on the cost of our sin and the sacrifice that was necessary for us to be forgiven. But even in the midst of the heaviness of the cross, every Christian has a heart of joy and hope because we know what the disciples didn’t—Sunday morning came, the tomb is empty, and our Lord is risen to reign forevermore!

And keep in mind that what we celebrate at Easter is fulfillment of the promise in Genesis 3:15:

And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel. (Genesis 3:15 LSB)

Praise the Lord!

We’re ready for lift-off—again!

The response to our first-ever Astronaut Encounter last year was so overwhelming that we’ve decided to host another one this year. Not only did last year’s sell out very quickly, but everyone who attended absolutely loved it! (Well, everyone but a few atheists who only came so they could mock the event online afterward—but they heard the gospel, and we pray it impacts them!) We had rave reviews, with many people asking us to please do it again.

So back by popular demand in 2026 is our Astronaut Encounter 2, July 11, at the Ark Encounter’s Answers Center. You’ll hear from two men who’ve been to outer space and who give God the glory for what he’s made:

• Captain Barry Wilmore, commander of Boeing’s Starliner on its test flight to the ISS and the author of the new book Stuck in Space: An Astronaut’s Hope Through the Unexpected.
• Colonel Jeffrey Williams, who flew 534 days on four space flights to the ISS and is the author of The Work of His Hands.

You’ll also hear from myself and my dear friend Ray Comfort (the founder of Living Waters, a well-known and highly respected street evangelist, and the author of many books—including Scientific Facts in the Bible: 100 Reasons to Believe the Bible Is Supernatural in Origin).

There’s also an add-on opportunity to enjoy dinner with the astronauts—that sold out very quickly last year, so if you would like to join us, be sure to secure your spot today.

Registration includes two-day Ark Encounter admission, and kids 4 and under can attend for free.

Thank you to our sponsor, BJU Press, and the ministry of Living Waters for helping us with this exciting event.

Register for Astronaut Encounter 2 today. I hope to see you there!

Have you been to our Truth Traveler attraction in Branson, Missouri?

I recently blogged about our Pigeon Forge Truth Traveler location, and I thought today I’d highlight our Branson location because we recently welcomed a special guest: a young lady named Jada who voiced the character Rae in the preshow for our VR experience which takes you on a time-traveling journey from Eden to eternity.

Jada and her family loved their experience in Branson, as they shared with us in an email to one of our staff:

We were absolutely blown away by how well done everything was, from the pre-show video Jada is in, to the VR experience, to the beautiful and powerful Fear Not film—WOW!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving our family and every guest who comes through the door an opportunity to behold the outstretched arm of Jesus who personally invites us individually to know Him more deeply.

You are doing incredible work in all you do, and doing it skillfully! We are delighted to be a small part of this powerful ministry!

I have attached some fun pictures of our day so you can see on our faces how much we appreciated our time at [Truth Traveler] and your generosity.

You’ll travel back in time with our stunning VR experience and enjoy an immersive theatrical experience called Fear Not.

If you are planning a trip to Branson this summer, be sure to check out Truth Traveler. You’ll travel back in time with our stunning VR experience and enjoy an immersive theatrical experience called Fear Not. This experience transports you back to ancient Israel during the reign of Herod the Great to witness the profound moments leading up to Christ’s birth, including angelic announcements and the nativity scene, in the iconic Andy Williams Moon River Theatre.

We’re excited to be sharing the gospel in Branson, MO, and Pigeon Forge, TN. Plan your visit to Truth Traveler at TruthTraveler.com.

A stunning new exhibit called Radiance has opened at the Creation Museum. It is so different from any other exhibit here at the museum and features special lighting effects and a unique way of teaching content.

So what is Radiance all about?

Simply put, it’s about identity.

Now, identity is a big issue with today’s generations (particularly millennials and Gen Z), as the LGBTQ worldview has permeated so many people’s thinking, causing much confusion. Not only that, but we live in a time when many of the younger generations have been indoctrinated to believe their worldview (including what they believe about gender, marriage, abortion, and so on) is really their identity. Therefore, if someone disagrees with their stance on these issues, they see that person as attacking their identity (and thus attacking them) rather than disputing their ideas—and they’re being taught to see it as actual violence against them.

Put another way: Today, even words are considered violent!

And many of the younger generations have been brainwashed to believe they have a right to respond to “violent” words with physical violence.

This indoctrination and confusion is purposeful, and it’s being displayed publicly for all to see. (For instance, consider the recent Senate hearing in the US where a reproductive health adviser, an OB-GYN, refused to say whether a man can become pregnant.)

We now see this verse from Isaiah playing out before our eyes:

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 LSB)

It has occurred to me that what is really happening can be summed up this way: God is the Creator and therefore owns everything and defines everything. But man is wise in his own eyes and wants to be his own god (Genesis 3:5). But because man cannot create like God, he takes what God has created and redefines it in the opposite direction—thus, good is “evil” and evil is “good”; male can be “female” and female can be “male.”

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And understanding in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:21 LSB)

It’s a sad state of affairs, but as Christians, we must stand for the truth. We need to be shining the light of God’s Word on such issues.

And that’s what we’re trying to accomplish with the Radiance exhibit, which focuses on helping visitors, especially young people, discover their true identity as being made in the image of God. Radiance uses immersive art, light effects, and interactive elements to explore themes of purpose, value, and identity rooted in the Bible and in Christ.

Through this exhibit, we teach the truth about gender (there are only two for humans: male and female) and the truth about what being made in the image of God means. That mankind is made in the image of God and therefore has infinite value—after all, God, through his Son, paid the penalty for our sin and thus provided the way of salvation offered to us.

Through this exhibit, we teach the truth about gender and the truth about what being made in the image of God means.

At the end of the exhibit, an interactive challenge is used to show how, when we trust Christ for salvation, each of us can uniquely radiate the truth of God’s Word and the gospel (and the truth concerning gender, marriage, and so on) to a lost world.

Come visit the Creation Museum soon and experience (yes, it’s an experience!) this new exhibit located on the lower level in the space Discovery Hall used to occupy.

It’s finally open!

I’m excited to announce another milestone has been reached as we approach the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter attraction in Kentucky. The stunning and spectacular Welcome Center opened this past Monday, March 23. Take a look at these photos of the new space:

The Welcome Center is an exhibit in itself. It is simply amazing!

Get a closer look in this short ribbon-cutting video from my YouTube channel:

This building will also house our coming scale model of Jerusalem. Our design teams are doing a phenomenal job recreating first-century Jerusalem. This scale model will be the most accurate and up-to-date when it opens. Stay tuned for more exciting updates about this ongoing project.

The legendary Chuck Norris has passed away at the age of 86. Not only was he a famous actor and martial arts champion, but he was a believer. What should his death remind us of?

When the news of his passing broke, I recorded a video sharing what I believe his death should remind us of. I encourage you to watch and share that video with others:

Many years ago, I wrote a short blog post that highlighted a quotation I had found from Chuck Norris, talking about evolution. I thought I’d share that again here:

But here’s what I really think about the theory of evolution: It’s not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a God, a Creator, who made you and me. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures.

By the way, without him, I don’t have any power. But with Him, the Bible tells me, I really can do all things—and so can you.

Whenever a believer passes away, I’m reminded of this verse:

Precious in the sight of the Lord
  is the death of his saints. (Psalm 116:15)

Something new is coming to the Creation Museum!

Last spring we opened our stunning Butterfly House, located near our unique Plants of the Bible Conservatory and beside the Creation Zoo. Guests have loved meeting our beautiful butterflies as part of the zoo and botanical gardens experience (Note: Because of the cost of the butterflies that need to be replaced every couple of weeks, the Butterfly House does require a separate ticket). And that experience is about to get even better with our Creature Feature exhibit house.

Located between the Butterfly House and the Plants of the Bible Conservatory, this exciting new exhibit area will showcase:

• Eight incredible invertebrate species, including emperor scorpions, giant millipedes, tarantulas, and more
• Four species of snakes
• Five species of lizards
• Two amphibian species
• An ornate box turtle
• And two fish tanks, one of which will exhibit blind cavefish

Our exhibit artists and content writers, along with zoo staff, have outdone themselves in the design of this new building. It’s really unique, and guests will absolutely love it. Entrance to the Creature Feature will be included with Creation Museum admission.

Enjoy these photos of the ongoing construction, along with a rendering of what it will look like when completed:

It certainly is “more than a museum” at the Creation Museum!

Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes sneak peeks as we get closer to this new building opening for our guests to enjoy.

It certainly is “more than a museum” at the Creation Museum! It’s amazing to see how the Lord has grown this attraction since we opened in 2007. Plan your visit at CreationMuseum.org.

Help us spread the word about these three events!

The Lord so encouraged me by allowing me to hear stories of the impact the ministry has had over the decades.

For over 50 years now, I’ve been traveling and speaking on the truth and authority of God’s Word. Recently, I was in Australia, and the Lord so encouraged me by allowing me to hear stories of the impact the ministry has had over the decades. I heard from numerous people who remember hearing me speak when they were little kids—and now they’re bringing their children to hear me speak! It reminded me of the impact that attending an AiG event can have.

So if you’re in the area of Lynchburg, VA; San Jose, CA; or Battle Ground, WA, I encourage you to make plans to join us for a one-day conference event. And please spread the word and invite other families from your church and community to come and hear the message.

You can find all our events on our website, but today I want to highlight these three (all of which are free, but we ask that you register in advance):

• March 27 in Lynchburg: Gospel Reset: Back to the Beginning Tour, featuring myself, E.Z. Zwayne from Living Waters, and Captain Barry Wilmore (astronaut)
• April 19 in San Jose: Launching Truth, featuring myself and Captain Barry Wilmore (astronaut)
• April 20 in Battle Ground: Launching Truth, featuring myself and Captain Barry Wilmore (astronaut)

I hope to see you at one of these events!

One of the most popular features of our two zoos—Creation Zoo at the Creation Museum and Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark Encounter—is our daily animal encounters. Families absolutely love seeing some of our ambassador animals up close and learning more about them from a biblical worldview.

That’s the uniqueness of our zoos—families are taught about animals from a biblical-worldview perspective! So different than most zoos that teach from an atheistic, evolutionary worldview.

These animal encounters happen most days at both attractions and are hosted by our talented zoo staff, all of whom are passionate about our animals and about imparting a biblical worldview to our guests.

You won’t want to miss these incredible animal encounters when you visit. Check the daily schedule for details about when our zookeepers will be conducting these or other live animal programs at our attractions.

How old is the earth? I’ve been defending the truth and authority of God’s Word for over 50 years now. And because of my position on biblical authority—that God’s Word, not man’s ideas, is the foundation for our thinking—I’m a young-earth creationist. So how do we answer old-earth arguments?

I’ve been answering those arguments biblically and scientifically for decades, and you can find answers in this one-hour lecture I gave recently that was uploaded to our YouTube channel:

The biggest problem is that it undermines the authority of Scripture, making man the authority, not God and his Word.

Yes, there are huge problems with taking man’s ideas and adding them into Scripture. But ultimately the biggest problem is that it undermines the authority of Scripture, making man the authority, not God and his Word. And that compromise leads to more compromise in subsequent generations.

Let’s start with God’s Word in all areas, from the very first verse.

2026 is a monumental year as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation (US) and the 10-year anniversary of the Ark Encounter!

I thought it would be fascinating to compare the founding of the nation to the founding of the Ark Encounter.

Although there are vast differences between the two, there are a few similarities. Both were born from leaders who acted on deeply held convictions, produced tangible symbols pertaining to their beliefs, endured opposition and much criticism, and invested in a generational impact that would leave a lasting legacy.

The founders of the nation took great risks to act on their sincerely held beliefs (as reflected in words in the Declaration of Independence): “All men are created equal” and therefore have “certain unalienable rights” (life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness).

The founders of the Ark Encounter developed this project from sincere convictions regarding biblical authority. We received opposition and criticism from outside and within the church.

The founding fathers of the US, despite having diverse beliefs, acted on their faith and risked life and property to pursue their convictions so the nation could become a reality. They had a longterm generational vision, not just a vision for their immediate future.

Both the Ark Encounter and the US have physical symbols to remind future generations of the origin and history of these places and the importance of the messages on which the founders’ convictions were based. The vision will surely have a spiritual impact for generations to come.

For instance, the nation of America has founding documents, monuments, and national holidays.

The Ark Encounter has a massive physical structure (a replica of Noah’s ark as the largest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world) that teaches about faithfulness to God, God’s judgment and mercy, and the vital importance of the gospel message—a message of biblical authority and salvation.

The founding fathers of America were called rebels and traitors.

Those of us who founded the Ark Encounter were maligned in many ways.

Now, I admit I did my elementary, high school, and university education in Australia. So I didn’t learn much about American history. I’ve (with tongue in cheek) mentioned to conference-goers: “I know many Americans love to talk about their founding fathers having convictions, well, our Australian founders had convictions too—though they were convictions of a different sort, as Australia started primarily as a convict settlement.”

Having said all of that (and there are many more interesting comparisons we could make), it’s important to understand the following:

1. God ordained government.

   Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist have been appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists that authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. (Romans 13:1–2)

   The purpose of government was to maintain law and order. But today, the government has overstepped into areas (e.g., marriage, sexuality, etc.) in which it should not be involved.

2. Ultimately (and no doubt the founders of America understood this), the government is not the answer to man’s problems, and legislation is not the answer to humanity’s problems.

   Please don’t misunderstand me. I believe we need more Christians with a Christian worldview on school boards, in governments, etc., to vote in accordance with a true biblical worldview. Sadly, secularists (who have an anti-God, anti-biblical worldview) have taken over many of those places, resulting in the secularization of our education system and nation.

3. Ultimately, the solution to man’s problems (and many of the US founding fathers would have understood this) is the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel. And that’s what the Ark Encounter (and, of course, the Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis) is all about. This is reflected in the fact that our guest surveys consistently show that 70,000 people each year say that they trusted Christ as a result of the Ark Encounter, as well as 30,000 people each year at the Creation Museum. That’s massive! I don’t think many churches or organizations would see such a response as this. And this doesn’t include all the other things we do as a ministry that impact people with the gospel. For instance, 2,357 people responded to the gospel during our 40 Days of Christian Music festival in 2025.

Answers in Genesis has never been a political movement, yet we do want to impact lives, culture, and government.

A major difference between the ministry of Answers in Genesis and our government is that AiG has a very strict statement of faith. Our board and all fulltime staff members have to sign this very detailed document. Over the years, many people who have an anti-Christian worldview have been voted into government positions, and this has adversely impacted people’s lives and culture as a whole.

Answers in Genesis has never been a political movement, yet we do want to impact lives, culture, and government. And how do we do that? Well, I’ve always said that when we impact people for Christ, we will also impact other lives, culture, and government. This is because the people we impact will be witnesses to others, and some may get on school boards or hold political positions. In these positions, people can impact the culture by voting in accordance with their Christian worldview.

It’s important to understand that everyone has a worldview. There is no neutral position. If Christians don’t get into influential positions, then secularists will (and have) vote in accordance with their secular anti-Christian worldview.

For as he calculates in his soul, so he is. (Proverbs 23:7)

For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil. For his mouth speaks from the abundance of his heart. (Luke 6:43–45)

As we know, God’s Word teaches that a person is either for or against Christ, walks in light or darkness, and builds their house on rock or sand. In other words, no one is neutral. One’s beliefs determine one’s worldview, and that impacts every area of that person’s life, including how they vote on matters.

Now, different ministries/organizations have different missions. The mission of Answers in Genesis has always been one in which we:

• challenge the church to stand on God’s Word from the very first verse and equip God’s people to be able to defend the Christian faith and be effective witnesses for the gospel;
• teach Christians what it means to have a true Christian worldview founded in God’s Word, beginning in Genesis, and to be consistent in their thinking in every area as they apply this worldview; and
• challenge non-Christians concerning the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel.

It is hearts and minds that impact a culture! Our ministry is to do all we can to impact hearts and minds for the Lord Jesus Christ.

As we are well into this 10th anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter and the 250th anniversary of the US as a nation, I just want to remind us that Answers in Genesis is involved in numerous outreaches to reach as many people as we can with God’s Word and the vital gospel message. Here is a list of many of the things we are involved in:

1. Two leading world-class Christian attractions, reaching around 1.5 million people each year;
2. Vacation Bible school program, which is used to reach over 1 million children each year;
3. Social media platforms that reach hundreds of millions of people;
4. Websites that enable tens of millions to access articles and other information each year;
5. Translation ministry that enables people in many different countries and different languages to have access to the information we produce;
6. Our Answers TV streaming platform with over 7,000 videos for all ages, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world;
7. Numerous conferences at the Ark and Creation Museum with tens of thousands attending;
8. Domestic and international outreach that impacts tens of thousands of people across the US and around the world each year;
9. Daily radio program on over 1,000 stations and also on many Spanish stations; and
10. Books and curricula for churches, homeschool, and Christian schools, influencing tens of thousands of people of all ages each year.

Not only do our guest surveys indicate that around 100,000 people respond to the gospel as a result of the attractions, but we regularly receive numerous testimonies from people of all ages who come to Christ as a result of God using Answers in Genesis. And many Christian leaders tell us they’ve never seen so many children respond to the gospel now that they are using AiG’s VBS program.

So as we celebrate the two anniversaries this year, the 10-year anniversary of the Ark Encounter and the 250th anniversary of the nation, I trust you are extremely encouraged by what Answers in Genesis is doing to impact hearts and minds with God’s Word and the gospel, and because of this, impacting the culture and government.

I would plead with you this month to consider specially supporting all we do through our core ministry by designating a monthly recurring gift to our core ministry for all of these wonderful evangelistic outreaches, as some of these efforts have to be subsidized. It’s really our evangelistic core ministry that enables Answers in Genesis to reach millions upon millions around the world with the most vital message in the universe!

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 donating today at AnswersDonate.com to help our evangelistic outreaches? Your donation of any size is a great blessing!

Thanks for being a part of our AiG family and enabling us to reach so many for Christ in this fallen world.

In Christ,
Ken

It’s really coming along! I’m excited to share another construction update with you regarding our Welcome Center at the Ark Encounter—it’s stunning!

There has been exciting progress over the last few weeks, despite the bad weather we’ve experienced. Our amazing Answers in Genesis fabrication team, exhibit artists, and many other team members have been hard at work on the new Welcome Center.

The exterior and interior are nearing completion as the artists work on all the hand-painting and interior detailing, while the fabrication team continues to install some of the large design elements—such as the custom-made capitals that go on top of the main pillars.

We can’t wait to welcome and serve even more guests in this beautiful new space. Stay tuned for more updates! It will be open very soon.

This building will also house our coming first-century Jerusalem model—an incredibly intricate and up-to-date model. You will be blown away by the level of accuracy and detail. It will be one of the best dioramas in the world.

And you can be part of finishing this project! We’re hiring temporary (12-month) digital modeler assistants who will work with our exhibit artists to help complete the remaining sections of the city using our fully developed modular system. It’s an exciting opportunity to be part of the most accurate scale model of the city of Jerusalem ever constructed.

Help us build the Jerusalem that Jesus walked. Apply today.

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.

Can you identify these six animals?

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:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Praise the Lord for the continuing impact of ministry decades ago and ongoing ministry.

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.

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.

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 exclusive VIP emails (and when you sign up, you’ll be entered to win an annual pass or even a lifetime pass to our attractions!).

Praise the Lord with us for what he’s doing through this ministry and please continue to pray for us.

Have you seen Radiance yet?

Radiance is an exploration of identity, designed to help young people, in particular, ground their identity in Christ and the truth that we’re made in his very image.

This is our stunning new exhibit at the Creation Museum, and it’s now open. Radiance is an exploration of identity, designed to help young people, in particular, ground their identity in Christ and the truth that we’re made in his very image. It’s such a necessary exhibit, given the times we live in and the lies about identity constantly directed toward young people through social media and the public education system.

Before I left for my speaking tour in Australia, we had a ribbon cutting for this new exhibit, and the video was recently uploaded to my YouTube channel. Enjoy this virtual tour of the exhibit and make plans to visit it yourself—and bring any young people you know with you!

We pray that, as thousands of young people visit the museum this month for spring break, many will be impacted by this powerful new exhibit.

I’m excited to announce something new being offered at the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter—guided tours!

Inspire Tours has been offering tours at the Museum of the Bible, along with international excursions, for several years now, and they’re bringing their mission to provide “experiences that deepen faith” to our two attractions.

Now you have the option to add a tour to your visit by selecting a tour date from Inspire’s online calendar for the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, or you can choose to add a tour after you arrive (however, tour group sizes are limited; purchasing in advance is recommended to ensure they’re not sold out on your visit date). These 90-minute tours offer an enriching experience that highlights key exhibits and illuminates Scripture.

I and others at AiG worked with Inspire to provide the scripts/content for their tours. So it is all AiG endorsed and approved. Many people and groups have asked for such guided tours over the years, so we are thrilled this is now a reality.

I encourage you to plan your visit to the world’s leading Christian themed attractions soon and consider adding a guided tour. Go to CreationMuseum.org and ArkEncounter.com.

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?

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!

This idea of an evolutionary tree of life faces an insurmountable problem: There’s no mechanism by which to push evolution forward!

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 never been observed.

The evolutionary “tree of life” isn’t accurate—it’s a fairy tale that’s unsupported by the observational evidence.

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.

“Conference season” is beginning at the Ark Encounter with our sold-out Answers for Men event just around the corner and then our Answers for Women—two identical back-to-back conferences (one is already sold out)—followed by our unique Answers Homeschool Experience. 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.

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’!” Women left equipped and encouraged and challenged after times of biblical teaching, worship, and fellowship.

• “Going home to clean out my library.”
• “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.”
• “My 13-year-old daughter and I have had some great discussions as a result of hearing the speakers.”
• “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.”
• “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!!!”
• “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!”
• “I appreciate the conversations my daughter and I had during the conference about the topics and she begged me to bring her next year.”
• “Nothing fru-fru. Carnivore diet!”
• “Loved the speakers, thank you for the meet & 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!!!”

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 Anchored: Pursuing Biblical Sexuality in a Turbulent World. You won’t want to miss it! Early bird pricing is still available—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!

Thanks to our sponsors, BJU Press, Christian Community Credit Union, Concerned Women for America, and Nutramax Laboratories for their support of this conference.

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?

Some Christians put it between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, but there’s not even a hint of this 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?

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.

When it comes to answering common questions such as this one or “Where did Cain get his wife?” or “Where did the so-called races come from?”, we must always start with the Bible, not with our own ideas or with compromises that try to accommodate man’s ideas about the past.

The answers are in Genesis!

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.

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. Throughout the conference, the K9s and their handlers engaged in over 30 scenarios set in various locations across the Ark Encounter property.

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.

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!

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 atheists get mad that it’s Christians offering this world-class training!).

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.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
