About 62% of US adults identify as Christian. But does claiming you’re a Christian on a survey, or even making public statements about being a Christian, mean that you are a Christian? What exactly is a Christian?

Well, consider these statements from Jesus:

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12–13)

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)

I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9)

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6)

According to Jesus, a true Christian is someone who has been born again, has received Christ and believed in His name, abides in Christ, has entered through the door, and has come to the Father through Him.

In other words, being a Christian is not just saying you are a Christian—the Bible describes it as a new birth. You actually become a new creation, passing from death to life.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

I recently examined what the Scriptures say and applied the truth of God’s Word to three prominent figures in our culture today who all claim to be Christians—and then had a challenge for everyone watching my video. I encourage you to check it out:

I pray that you take my challenge seriously and consider what it means to be a true Christian (a biblical Christian) and what that truth means for you personally. Are you truly born again?

The mighty dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus rex, is increasingly being depicted covered in feathers and fuzz. But what did T. rex look like based on the actual fossil evidence?

Well, before we get to that, let’s discuss why dinosaurs like T. rex are so often depicted covered in feathers. This idea of “feathered dinosaurs” comes from the atheistic evolutionary worldview. They assume common ancestry between dinosaurs and birds and therefore believe that, at some point, dinosaurs must have evolved proto-feathers and then, eventually, full pennaceous feathers. In fact, many evolutionists today call birds living dinosaurs, as ridiculous as that is.

But does this idea actually come from the evidence or just from evolutionary imagination? Paleoartist Joel Leineweber recently addressed this idea of feathers on T. rex—and what this creature actually looked like—in the video below. I encourage you to watch and share it with others.

Birds and dinosaurs are not related but are totally separate kinds of creatures, created on separate days of creation week.

No, T. rex was not covered in feathers—and neither were other dinosaurs. Birds and dinosaurs are not related but are totally separate kinds of creatures, created on separate days of creation week (birds on day 5, and dinosaurs—which were land-dwelling animals—on day 6 along with the other land creatures).

Was Narnia’s Aslan nonbinary?

The Chronicles of Narnia has been in the news lately after the director of the upcoming film, The Magician’s Nephew (the first in the Narnia series), officially announced that actress Meryl Streep will play the voice of Aslan. While it appears that Aslan will still be represented as a male in this Netflix adaptation, his voice will be played by a female and his look—specifically his heterochromatic eyes—is reportedly inspired by the androgynous singer David Bowie. Apparently, the “‘big and transporting’ aesthetic of the film” is a “rock opera” inspired by ’60s and ’70s rock musicians.

Obviously, this announcement has many Narnia fans concerned about what the final The Magician’s Nephew (and any other subsequent films) will be like and how faithful they will be, not just to the text that C. S. Lewis wrote but also to the clear gospel and biblical allegories and overtones throughout the books. Some of these concerned fans have even launched petitions to try to put pressure on Netflix to change the direction of the film. Personally, I doubt Netflix would ever consider these petitions, as more and more programs on Netflix, even children’s programs, promote the LGBTQ worldview.

Now, we can’t ultimately control what Netflix decides to do with this beloved book series—or what kind of messaging they will portray through the films. But I’m thrilled that there are groups like our friends at Logos Theatre that are bringing Narnia to life in ways that honor the original books and the biblical and gospel truths they were originally written to portray.

And one of the Narnia stories, Prince Caspian, is coming this winter to the Ark Encounter as a phenomenal live stage production! (And I promise that this Aslan will not be voiced by Meryl Streep!)

Previously, Logos Theatre has brought The Horse and His Boy and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to the Ark, and they were absolutely incredible—people left rave reviews. Not only were they faithful to the books and the beloved characters, but the acting, the set, the costumes, and the puppets and puppeteering were world-class (as good or better than Broadway). You will not want to miss Prince Caspian!

If you love Narnia (or just love live theater), I encourage you to make plans to attend this stage production on select days, December 28, 2026–January 16, 2027. You can get your tickets today at ArkEncounter.com/narnia.

I am so burdened by Christian leaders who compromise on the clear truths of Genesis despite oftentimes being very brilliant scholars who love the Lord. It’s so disheartening to listen to those who, though they boldly defend the truth of Scripture in areas like Christ’s resurrection, allow man’s ideas to determine their interpretations of Genesis, therefore undermining the authority of Scripture. One such man is apologist Frank Turek.

Recently, I saw a video clip of Frank Turek, a very popular Christian apologist, responding to a question about Genesis and the age of the earth. In the clip, he claims we can’t know how long ago “in the beginning” (Genesis 1:1) was and quotes Dr. John Lennox in saying that “the Bible leaves the age of the earth indeterminate.” Is this true?

In this video, I answer all of Frank’s objections—including a claim he makes about me—starting with the Bible. I encourage you to watch it and share it with others.

It’s putting man, not God, as the authority.

Frank Turek is a popular and influential apologist, and he does some great work defending Scripture and sharing the gospel. I don’t dispute that. But he is undermining the authority of the Word of God and encouraging people to doubt the clarity of Scripture when it comes to his answers on Genesis. And that’s dangerous. What he’s saying is that man’s interpretations of the world around us are the authority over God’s clear, infallible Word. It’s putting man, not God, as the authority.

My challenge to Frank Turek, and every other Christian, is the same: Stop adding man’s ideas into God’s Word. Start with God’s Word first and allow it to be your authority.

What is the role of government? Well, the answer to that question—I don’t think you’ll be surprised by this—begins in Genesis!

Since God is the one who first instituted government, it is God who defines the role and purpose of government.

God instituted human government after the Flood (Genesis 9). Since God is the one who first instituted government, it is God who defines the role and purpose of government. If we want to think biblically about government, we must first start with Scripture.

According to God’s Word, the purpose of human government is not to solve all of our problems! Rather, it is to restrain and punish evil and to promote order. This immediately raises a question: What is evil? Someone must define what evil is. And, again, God has done that for us in His Word. When we start with the Bible, we have an unchanging, eternal foundation for determining what is right and what is wrong.

But, you might ask, isn’t that “Christian nationalism”? No. But whoever is in government has a worldview that determines how they define morality and vote on issues. Now, consider this: Every single law in the United States is based on someone’s morality. No law is morally neutral. So who gets to decide? Is morality determined by sinful, fallible human beings or by the perfect, authoritative Word of the Creator?

Whenever we legislate, we are always legislating morality. The question is: Whose morality are we legislating?—is it based on human opinion or God’s Word?

I address the question of the role of government and the truth that there is no neutrality in a recent video we filmed for my YouTube channel. I encourage you to check it out.

This is just another reminder that, in all areas, we need to start with God’s Word as our authority!

We all know that gas (petrol) engines need fuel so they can operate.

This year, I had our artists create a special picture to help people understand how Answers in Genesis is like an engine that runs the many cogs of the ministry, resulting in millions upon millions being impacted each year.

And it needs “fuel.”

Now, the seven cogs pictured above are the major cogs and consist of the following:

I could also say that there are many cogs within the major cogs! But the point I want to make is that Answers in Genesis is much more than just the very visible attractions, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Answers in Genesis is a major ministry with many different cogs impacting people domestically and globally.

For instance, our VBS program is used in around 15,000 churches annually, impacting an estimated one million+ children a year! Our speaking and translation ministry is reaching people in many different countries around the globe. Our social media (posts, videos, etc.) is viewed by hundreds of millions annually. Our publications (books and curricula) reach countless people each year.

And the list goes on.

Now, in the US, people are used to special end-of-year campaigns for raising funds through donations for nonprofit organizations. In fact, for many nonprofits, the end-of-year campaign provides a major part of their budget.

When I first came to America in 1987, I really did not understand this emphasis on end-of-year fundraising. You see, in Australia, donations to churches and Christian nonprofits like Answers in Genesis are not tax-deductible. People give sacrificially without any tax benefit. Certainly, we are blessed in America to be able to have such an opportunity to receive a tax benefit, and what a blessing this is to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

For the past few years, AiG has been greatly blessed to receive a matching-gift grant from a generous foundation. This grant (and our generous supporters who give to help us reach each year’s goal) has enabled us to expand the two attractions, build new exhibits, and more.

This year, the foundation has granted us our biggest matching gift ever—$12 million.

This year, the same foundation wanted to help our core ministry—the engine that fuels all the various aspects of AiG with all the various cogs and cogs within cogs.

This year, the foundation has granted us our biggest matching gift ever—$12 million. In other words, every dollar given for our end-of-year campaign will be matched dollar for dollar up to $12 million, providing a total potential of $24 million for all the various aspects of the AiG ministry. That’s “fuel” that can really help the AiG engine, enabling us to provide even more resources and reach more people than ever.

Each year this foundation has provided us with a matching gift, our supporters have matched it, so the foundation continues to provide this matching grant. What a blessing! Every gift given, large or small, can enable us to meet this challenge. This foundation loves to see our supporters getting behind their generous matching gift to show the broad base of support there is for the AiG ministry.

Go to AnswersDonate.com to donate toward our end-of-year campaign and have your gift doubled—up to our $12 million goal!

There, you can also see the current progress of this year’s matching-gift campaign, view a copy of Answers in Genesis’ 2025 Annual Report to get the highlights of our ministry impact last year, and find the answers to frequently asked questions regarding giving to AiG.

With over 21 million YouTube subscribers and a cumulative 16 billion views, children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel is wildly popular. Millions of children watch her videos every day, and maybe yours do too (I hope not)—but should they?

Ms. Rachel has made headlines several times over the past few years because of her support of left-wing politicians and causes along with her public celebration of “pride” and LGBTQ relationships. Now, while she doesn’t often feature her political and social views in her children’s videos, one of her costars identifies as nonbinary and goes by they/them pronouns. Do you really want your kids being impacted by this anti-biblical behavior?

Should Christians parents who are concerned about who is discipling their children avoid Ms. Rachel’s videos? Well, I certainly believe so—and I explain all my reasons in a recent video we filmed for my YouTube channel:

Who our children trust and look up to matters!

Who our children trust and look up to matters! The content they are consuming shapes their worldview from the time they are very young. I encourage you to ensure that those influences are godly and teach biblical worldview (like, for example, the shows on our streaming platform, Answers.tv). It’s all part of following God’s command in Ephesians 6:4:

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Here in America, we are truly blessed. We have instant and immediate access to God’s Word anytime we want, either in print or for free through apps. But according to the Bible Access Initiative’s recent report, for many Christians around the world, that is not the case.

This report looks at 106 countries around the world, “identifying both places where Bible access is explicitly restricted and countries where people face socioeconomic barriers that prevent them from obtaining Scripture.” And what they found was that over 500 million Christians—our brothers and sisters around the world—“face Bible access restrictions, as laws imposed by governments hostile to Christianity and socioeconomic barriers prevent many who would like a Bible from having one.”

The nations with “maximum restrictions”—the strongest restriction label—include:

• Afghanistan
• Yemen
• Somalia
• North Korea
• Eritrea
• And Mauritania

Of course, those are just the most extreme examples—sadly, the report listed many, many other nations that also have severe restrictions that keep them from accessing God’s Word.

But it’s not just the government that keeps Christians from accessing the Bible. The study also found that many countries suffer from Bible shortages—there just aren’t enough Bibles available—most acutely in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and India, “each of which has a shortage of more than 10 million Bibles.” Many other nations also have Bible shortages, ranging from 500,000 to 10 million.

And the report highlighted other restrictions to accessing God’s Word, including “socioeconomic barriers such as poverty, poor infrastructure, illiteracy, lack of electricity and limited internet access.”

The Bible Access List co-creator Wybo Nicolai shared, “We often hear that the Bible is more accessible than ever, but we must not confuse availability with access. . . . Persecution-related Bible access restrictions can make accessing Scripture difficult or dangerous, while socioeconomic barriers can put a Bible beyond people’s reach. . . . Even where Scripture is available digitally, limited internet coverage or unsafe online environments can still prevent people from accessing it.”

We need to continue to work as a church to ensure believers around the world have access to the precious Word of God.

This report is a reminder that we need to continue to work as a church to ensure believers around the world have access to the precious Word of God—the only authoritative foundation for our thinking. I encourage you to find and financially support a trusted Christian ministry putting Bibles into the hands of believers.

It’s also a reminder of how blessed we are here in the West—not only do we have unlimited access to the Word of God in our own language but we also have access to in-depth teaching on God’s Word in our local churches and at our fingertips. Sadly, even with such access readily available, many are not reading the Bible!

We also have the opportunity to attend a Christian college or to send our children there. What a blessing. And if you’re looking for a solid Christian school (college/university) to send your children to or to attend yourself—one that upholds the truth and authority of God’s Word—I encourage you to consider Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC.

BJU is grateful to be able to publicly partner with Answers in Genesis and works hard to ensure everything they do and everything they teach is done through the lens of a biblical worldview.

BJU is a liberal arts school that “exists to grow Christ-like character that is scripturally disciplined, others-serving, God-loving, Christ-proclaiming and focused above.” It’s truly a great school with a solid mission.

Earlier this week, I wrote about a perplexing study that found a large majority (84%) of American churchgoers believe they are ready to defend the truth of Scripture—but 28% say that some of the truths of Scripture are now obsolete because of changes in our culture. So that prompts the question: What do they mean by saying they’re ready to make a defense?

Much of what Scripture teaches is not popular in our culture today—marriage is for one man and one woman only, there are just two genders in humans, abortion is murder, the earth is young, mankind did not evolve, and so on—but that does not mean it is obsolete. God’s Word is eternal, and its truth will long outlast this generation and all the ones to come.

God’s Word is eternal, and its truth will long outlast this generation and all the ones to come.

Are you equipped to defend the truths of Scripture and not just change them because they are inconvenient, difficult, or even uncomfortable? We need more Christians who will boldly and courageously defend the truth of all of Scripture, and that’s what we’re equipping men to do at our Answers for Men conference this coming spring at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. This time, we’re offering a weekday option, March 17–18, 2027, and a duplicate weekend conference, March 19–20, 2027.

At Answers for Men, we want to equip you with practical answers to defend the Christian faith from the enemy’s unending attacks. And you’ll leave filled with courage to do battle because the Lord is with His people.

I’ll be joined by

• Astronaut and author Colonel Jeff Williams
• Mark Spence, Living Waters’ senior vice president
• Justin Peters, founder of Justin Peters Ministries
• Dr. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Boyce College
• Alex Kendrick, filmmaker behind Overcomer, Courageous, and The Forge

It’s going to be a great time of equipping and encouragement—don’t miss out! Early bird pricing is still available but is ending soon, so be sure to register right away.

And a big thank-you to our sponsors, BJU Press and The Master’s University, for helping make this event possible.

Abortion is murder.

God’s Word is clear, and God determines truth and morality.

Abortion at any stage of development (yes, beginning at fertilization) kills a human being made in the image of God. Therefore, abortion is murder. That’s the truth—but not because I say it or Answers in Genesis says it or anyone else says it—because God’s Word is clear, and God determines truth and morality.

Those who advocate for the murder of the unborn come up with very clever arguments to emotionally manipulate people into turning a blind eye—or even celebrating—the murder of helpless children. Are you equipped to recognize these lies and respond with biblical truth?

AiG’s Patricia Engler was recently filmed giving a powerful talk on abortion, exposing the dark history of this murderous practice, the devastation it has caused, and how believers must respond. I urge you to listen to this talk and share it with others.

Our social media team releases videos just like this one every week on our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel and releases other weekly videos on my (Ken Ham’s) YouTube channel. I encourage you to subscribe to both accounts so you won’t miss any faith-building content.

I have a disagreement with a fellow biblical creationist.

Now, this disagreement is not over the age of the earth, the global Flood, a literal Adam, or biblical authority. Rather, it’s a disagreement over change within a kind and how species form.

When it comes to answering these scientific questions (starting, of course, with the framework God has given us in Genesis), creationists are free to disagree—we study God’s creation to be able to better understand how God created, and as we study, this may result in some disagreement. That’s totally fine. But this particular creationist took his disagreement a step further, claiming that natural selection is an idol.

We study God’s creation to be able to better understand how God created.

As a quick perusal of our website shows, Answers in Genesis acknowledges the role natural selection plays in speciation (change within a kind). So what is my response to this idolatry claim? Well, our social media team produced a video where I explain what natural selection is—and what it is not:

No, natural selection is not an idol. That doesn’t accurately reflect what natural selection is and is not, and it’s hard to believe someone is accusing us at AiG, who see natural selection as a process, of committing idolatry. That’s a serious accusation.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9–10, emphasis added)

Now, some people erroneously believe (because evolutionists use natural selection as part of their attempt to justify believing in molecules-to-man evolution) that those who accept natural selection are accepting evolution. But that’s not true. Not everything evolutionists believe is wrong. Natural selection is just a process describing what happens to animals with various combinations of traits in different environments in this fallen world. Natural selection is not molecules-to-man evolution.

You can learn more about natural selection in the article referenced in the video: Natural Selection, Yes; Evolution, No.

Has Noah’s Ark actually been found?

Well, according to recent headlines, it’s “100% confirmed” that the Durupinar formation in eastern Turkey is the remains of Noah’s Ark. Now, obviously, we would be thrilled here at AiG if someone discovered the Ark—it would be perhaps the greatest archaeological find of all time. But we also need to be careful not to fall for sensationalism or claims that aren’t grounded in careful observational science.

So what do we think of this site and the new claims? Well, over the years, we’ve published many articles on this particular supposed Ark site (for example, this one from last year with comments from Bible-believing geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling), but I also produced a video for my Ken Ham YouTube channel on the newest headlines. I encourage you to check it out below:

Our faith in God’s Word does not rest on finding the Ark (as exciting as that would be!)—it rests on the truth of Scripture.

So in short, no, we don’t believe Noah’s Ark has been found at the Durupinar site. But our faith in God’s Word does not rest on finding the Ark (as exciting as that would be!)—it rests on the truth of Scripture.

There’s already more than enough evidence that there was a global Flood as described in Genesis (billions of fossils, rapidly deposited rock layers, soft tissue in fossils, flood legends in cultures around the world, etc.). Those who ignore the truth “deliberately overlook” it (2 Peter 3:5–6 ESV).

Maybe someday someone will find the Ark—it is a possibility. But regardless, our faith rests in Scripture, which was breathed out by God, not in any archaeological find.

Such a question would have been ridiculous even just a few years ago—no one would think to ask it because, of course, men are not designed to breastfeed infants. But because of the influence of the transgender movement, “breastfeeding” has been replaced in some contexts with “chestfeeding” and “breastfeeding mother” with “lactating parent,” as some people claim that, yes, men can nurse babies.

But can they?

I recently looked into the science behind inducing lactation in males and what is actually produced from the cocktail of chemicals given to the man—then I contrasted that with the incredible design in breast milk that God designed women to produce. You can watch that video here:

In short, no, men cannot breastfeed—if they take the right medications, they can induce a secretion that bears some surface resemblance to breast milk but is not breast milk. Breast milk is an incredibly complex food created as a mother and baby interact with each other, and men cannot replicate this—nor should they try!

Who were the Nephilim?

Genesis 6 opens with a description of the sons of God and daughters of men, then mentions the intriguingly named Nephilim:

Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were good in appearance; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then Yahweh said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever because he indeed is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:1–4)

Who were the Nephilim? This has been debated throughout church history. Three primary views, and one less common, have arisen:

1. The fallen angel view: According to this interpretation, the sons of God are fallen angels who married human women and produced offspring, the Nephilim.
2. The Sethite or godly line view: According to this interpretation, “sons of God” refers to the godly line of Seth, while “daughters of men” refers to the ungodly line of Cain. The Nephilim in this case would be mighty, violent men who were born of these unions and ruled before the flood.
3. The royalty or tyrant view: According to this interpretation, the sons of God are human rulers, kings who saw themselves as divine, who took as many wives as they pleased, forming dynasties that produced violent, tyrant offspring.
4. The mixed or mighty men view: According to this view, “sons of God” refers to powerful men, possibly rulers, with the Nephilim simply being men of great size or reputation. This is the least common of these interpretations.

I explain each of these views in more detail in this video we recently released for my YouTube channel. I encourage you to check it out.

So who were the Nephilim? Well, as I shared in the video, we won’t know for sure until we get to heaven, because the Bible simply doesn’t provide enough detail, but the view one takes of the Nephilim doesn’t impact any core biblical doctrines, so it’s something interesting to think about and debate.

What we do know for sure is that the world at that time was so wicked that God judged it with a global Flood, but he offered mercy to Noah and his family on the Ark. And just like those before the Flood, we’re sinners in rebellion against God and we need an ark of salvation—and our ark is the Lord Jesus Christ, who saves us from our sins and offers eternal life.

Oh—and there were Nephilim living after the Flood. Watch the video to learn more.

This week in Kentucky, the home state of Answers in Genesis, the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum, a State Trooper named Hayden Phillips was shot and killed in the line of duty during a routine traffic stop (after an extensive manhunt, the perpetrator was arrested and is being charged with murder). In honor of Trooper Phillips, we have lit up the full-size Noah’s Ark in blue through this weekend.

At our attractions, we have a world-class public safety team, many of whom are former law enforcement. Our chief of public safety sent this to me regarding the blue Ark:

Answers in Genesis, the Ark Encounter, and the Creation Museum would like to extend our prayers to the family of Trooper Hayden Phillips. We’ve lit up the Ark in law enforcement colors in honor of Trooper Phillips and all those who serve behind the badge.

Please be praying for Trooper Phillips’ family, especially his wife and three young children, after this horrible tragedy.

We receive a lot of positive feedback regarding our Answers VBS program. Churches love the depth of the content and the evangelistic emphasis. We recently received one such letter, and I wanted to share it with you to highlight the impact this aspect of the AiG ministry is having.

This letter is from a church where there are only 725 people in the community. But what an impact the VBS had! Praise the Lord for the impact of Answers VBS in this community.

This church in Wisconsin shared:

To Our Friends at AiG,

The Lord brought 81 children through our doors to participate in Emerald Crossing—please note that our community has a population of 725 so to have that many kids attend is amazing!

We gave out 53 trophies to kids who memorized all of Psalm 23—what a wonderful portion of God’s Word to have planted in the memories of these kids and it was a touching moment when the whole group recited the psalm together as their families watched and listened during our Closing Program.

Many of the children who came do not attend any church and it was so exciting to see how the Lord is working in these young lives. They had a sincere curiosity that came out in their questions and in the discussion time. Families that previously had no time for spiritual things now have children coming home with a different attitude, perspective, and desire to know more of God and His Word. It’s so encouraged us to hear of the changes parents are seeing in their kids after being a part of this VBS ministry and we thank YOU for providing such great material for us to use. Glory to God!!!

This is the 23rd year that we have offered VBS and it has also become a witness to our community—although we have a small church, we had 45 staff members enthusiastically serving each day and what a blessing it was to share in harmony as we served the children and grew closer together as His body. We are asked many times how we get so many folks to volunteer because that seems to be the reason that most churches don’t provide VBS anymore. We tell them that the staffers are so blessed that they commit to the following year even before the VBS week is over. Only God can do that!!

As you will read in the newspaper article, we LOVE missions and the kids are encouraged to earn the money themselves as they focus on other kids in very difficult situations. All praise goes to our wonderful Lord!

Thanks for providing these encouraging VBS programs—please know that we pray for all of you at AiG every Sunday during our Worship Service. The planning for Spy U has already begun and we look forward to providing another opportunity to share the good news of salvation in Jesus to the youth of our community and surrounding area. What a blessing and privilege it is to hear comments of changed hearts and lives from families who have entrusted their kids to us.

Now, I can’t reproduce the entire Waushara Argus newspaper article here for you, because of copyright laws, but I wanted to quote the portion mentioned in the letter because it’s truly remarkable:

Missions have always been an important part of VBS, and the kids were encouraged to do chores and earn the money themselves so they could bless other children around the world who are less fortunate. They set a goal of $1,360 for the Children’s Hunger Fund Ministry, where every 25 cents provides a meal for a needy child. The countries served this year were Ethiopia, El Salvador, Romania, the USA, and the Philippines, where some of the VBS staff were born. Their personal experience of growing up in poverty and need was shared with the children, making the mission’s goal even more meaningful. By the end of the week, donations raised by the kids totaled $2,528.52, and other contributions brought the total to $4,812.00, which will provide 19,248 meals!

Yes, this little church in a small community raised enough money to provide over 19,000 meals! Wow!

If you’d like to reach your community with the truth that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who will lead you from anxiety to peace, fear to faith, and uncertainty to the firm foundation of God’s Word, our Emerald Crossing VBS blowout sale is ending today. Enjoy 50–90% off our remaining stock. What a great opportunity to plan a weeknight Bible club, a special Sunday school series, or a program over a few Saturdays. Visit our website to shop all remaining items until the sale ends at midnight.

And if your church is planning a VBS program for 2027, I encourage you to check out next year’s Answers VBS, Spy U: Uncovering Counterfeits, Discovering the One True God. These programs really are unique and powerful, answering questions kids have, diving deep into God’s Word, and connecting the Bible to the world.

It’s time to mark your calendar with the dates for Christmas at the Creation Museum and Christmas at the Ark Encounter, our annual Christmas events. Each attraction offers a different experience, so you’ll want to make sure to visit both!

Our Christmas events are taking place Thursday–Saturday, November 27, 2026–January 2, 2027—with a few exceptions: We’re closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve; however, the event open dates are expanded the weeks of Christmas and New Year to also include Tuesday–Wednesday (December 22, 23, 29, and 30) so you still have plenty of opportunity to visit during those weeks. See calendar below:

If you’ve never been to the Ark or Creation Museum at Christmas, I encourage you to make plans to attend—it’s a totally different experience. Many guests plan to visit the attractions throughout the day and then stay for a delicious dinner before experiencing Christmas in the evenings.

So what can you expect? Well, for only the cost of parking, come to the Creation Museum to enjoy:

• A live nativity
• Spectacular beautiful garden of lights
• TrueSong concerts
• Lit-up dinosaurs throughout the grounds
• The Plants of the Bible Conservatory
• Indoor drama videos
• Encounter the Wonder in our 4D theater
• Creation Zoo
• Our playground
• And access to holiday shopping, festive foods, and more!

And, for only the cost of parking, visit the Ark Encounter to experience:

• Light in the Darkness, a spectacular laser show on the side of the life-size Ark
• Live animal shows
• A sea of lights throughout the grounds
• Ararat Ridge Zoo
• Our custom indoor carousel
• Our playground
• And, of course, access to unique holiday shopping, festive foods, and more

We hope to see you there!

Need a Christmas Play?

And, with Christmas coming quickly, if your church, homeschool co-op, or Christian school is looking for a unique, gospel-centered Christmas play to perform, I encourage you to check out the Christmas play scripts we offer, written by the staff at our Christian school, Answers Academy.

They are very different from a lot of plays used at Christmas. Each play focuses on a different character from the Christmas account, connects the Old Testament with the New Testament, teaches apologetics, and powerfully connects Christ’s birth as the babe in the manger to His death and resurrection.

This year’s new play is The Zealot’s Fight: Christmas Through the Eyes of a Rebel. This play answers the question, “Why did the Messiah really come?”

Step back into the world of first-century Judea, where Roman oppression looms heavy, and one young Zealot struggles with anger, vengeance, and the longing for freedom. The Zealot’s Fight is a powerful original drama that celebrates the babe in the manger whose mission was not to claim a throne of power, but to conquer and free us from the bondage of sin, giving us new life in Christ!

You can find all of Answers Academy’s plays—along with unique Christmas gifts—at AnswersBookstore.com.

One of the greatest opportunities churches and Christian schools have each year is presenting a Christmas program. But there’s a problem.

Many of today’s Christmas productions are long on entertainment but short on biblical truth. They’re filled with cute moments and holiday sentiment yet often contain very little solid teaching from God’s Word.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with making a program enjoyable and memorable, we don’t believe that should come at the expense of the life-changing message of the gospel.

That’s why Answers Academy—the discipleship school of Answers in Genesis—began creating its own Christmas dramas.

Every year, our staff writes and produces a brand-new program that combines engaging drama, memorable music, historical research, biblical teaching, and a clear presentation of the gospel. These productions don’t simply retell the Christmas story—they help audiences understand it. They answer important questions, provide rich historical context, and reveal how every part of the Christmas account points to God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.

The response has been tremendous.

Parents, students, and audiences have told us how these dramas have deepened their understanding of Scripture while providing an unforgettable Christmas experience. So we decided not to keep them to ourselves. Now churches, Christian schools, and homeschool groups everywhere can use these professionally written productions in their own Christmas outreach.

With generous performance rights and freely reproducible actor scripts, we’ve done the hard work. Our desire is to see these dramas used around the world to proclaim the true meaning of Christmas and clearly present the saving gospel.

Five Unique Christmas Dramas

The Zealot’s Fight follows Miciah, a passionate Jewish Zealot longing for the Messiah to overthrow Rome. But he discovers that humanity’s greatest enemy isn’t political oppression—it’s sin. This powerful drama reveals why Jesus came, not to lead a political revolution but to rescue sinners through His death and resurrection.

Behold the King tells the Christmas story from the court of King Herod. Through the eyes of one of Herod’s servants, audiences witness the striking contrast between an earthly ruler obsessed with power and the true King of kings, whose kingdom will never end.

Keeping Watch begins with the shepherds on the hills outside Bethlehem after 400 years of prophetic silence. It beautifully connects the shepherds, the sacrificial lambs, and Jesus Christ—the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

A Pondering Heart explores the Christmas account through Mary’s eyes as she comes to understand the child God entrusted to her care. The drama highlights the biblical connection between Christ’s birth and God’s unfolding plan of redemption through the Passover Lamb.

Long Foretold tackles questions people often ask: Who were the wise men? How did they know to follow the star? Were there really three? Did they arrive at the stable? Tracing the magi back to Daniel’s time in Babylon, this fascinating production separates biblical truth from tradition while showcasing God’s sovereign plan throughout history.

Each drama offers a fresh perspective on the Christmas account while remaining firmly grounded in Scripture. They are educational, engaging, entertaining, and unapologetically gospel centered.

Each drama offers a fresh perspective on the Christmas account while remaining firmly grounded in Scripture.

If you’re looking for a Christmas program that will captivate your audience while faithfully proclaiming God’s Word, these dramas are an outstanding resource for your church or school.

Let’s use this Christmas season not merely to entertain people but to help them understand why the Son of God entered history. The baby in the manger came to be the Savior of the world.

It’s the most complex project our design team has ever tackled—and that’s saying something since previous projects have included a life-size Ark filled with exhibits!—and I’ve got an update for you.

It’s the first-century Jerusalem model (1:100 scale), coming to the Ark Encounter hopefully sometime in 2028. This project has taken several years and is now moving into the final phases (and we’re hiring for those). Our design and fabrication teams can’t wait to share it with you.

It’s going to be phenomenally detailed, incredibly impactful, and a wonderful addition to the Ark.

It’s going to be phenomenally detailed, incredibly impactful, and a wonderful addition to the Ark. Just as the Ark Encounter brought the biblical account of Noah’s Ark and the Flood to life for millions of guests, the Jerusalem model will bring to life the city where Jesus performed miracles, died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. It will be the most accurate reconstruction of first-century Jerusalem anywhere. For example, the artists have reconstructed many different kinds of rocks to faithfully represent the actual geology of the city as well as the various types of stone masonry used in construction—yes, that’s the level of detail! I think families will need to plan an extra day just to take in everything that this model will offer!

The Jerusalem model will be housed in the model showroom, which is already constructed, and the artists and fabricators are working on the beautiful, themed interior. It will be located in the same plaza as the Welcome Center and our Answers Center.

Like the Welcome Center, it will be an immersive and themed space, and the centerpiece will be a 1:100 scale model of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. You’ll notice in the rendering below that the model starts almost on the floor and then rises to about 5–6 feet, mimicking the increase in elevation throughout the city. At 53 feet long, the whole model represents just over a mile of the city, and it is divided into three islands so guests can walk amidst the city and get a closer look at the incredible details.

This short video shows just some of the 3D design process that creates the city elements, which are then resin 3D printed:

Throughout the model will be touchscreens that guests can engage with to learn about biblical and other historical events from each part of the city, archaeological discoveries from that area, the culture, and much more. You can meet characters across the city and ask them questions, and you can watch 360-degree videos to see what the modern city looks like in select areas—it’s a really unique and interactive element.

It’s a wonderful way to experience all the detail this model has to offer—and for guests to want to come back again.

And it gets even more interactive. The model will have an accompanying app that guests can download for “quests” throughout the city (there will be different levels for kids and teens/adults). As guests help the characters solve problems, they are pushed to look deeply into the model to find the necessary clues and information. It’s a wonderful way to experience all the detail this model has to offer—and for guests to want to come back again.

And there’s still more! Our team has designed two characters who will be sprinkled throughout our kids’ activities. Kids are going to love these fun characters, and it will help them interact with the model in a memorable way.

Eventually, we will also be displaying artifacts in a separate room that is attached to the model showroom, but that’s further down the road.

Yes, this is such an exciting project and will be an amazing addition to the Ark Encounter. As I said, guests are going to need an extra day just to explore this incredibly detailed model. It will be a wonderful testimony to the truth of Scripture, particularly the accuracy of the Gospels, as we show how archaeology confirms the Bible.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to an opening date. And please pray for our teams as they work hard on this massive project. It’s a huge undertaking, but it will be an incredible apologetics tool once it is finished. We can’t wait!

Did you know that over 300 different sign languages are used around the world?

Today is International Day of Sign Languages, part of International Week of the Deaf. Over 70 million Deaf people live around the world, with 80% living in developing countries. Deaf communities are incredibly unreached when it comes to the gospel—they make up one of the most unreached people groups in the world. Sadly, access to the gospel is limited for the hearing population, let alone for the Deaf population. There is certainly a need for missionaries to reach these people with the message of Christ.

We’re doing what we can to welcome and serve Deaf Americans at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.

And we’re doing what we can to welcome and serve Deaf Americans (and others from other countries) at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Each year, we host our Deaf Days event, two unforgettable days designed to welcome and serve the Deaf community with full American Sign Language (ASL) access.

This March 5–6, 2027, every daily program, presentation, and guest service location across both attractions will be ASL interpreted. And yes, there will even be ASL-interpreted zip line tours! There will also be a Deaf-led worship service on Saturday morning. Accommodation is also offered (upon request during registration) for Deaf-Blind guests during keynote presentations. If you are Deaf, or know someone who is, make plans to join us (registration is coming soon).

And that’s not all!

We also offer ASL interpretation during many of our major events. For example, this winter, Logos Theatre is bringing the live stage drama Prince Caspian, based on the fourth book in The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis, to the Ark Encounter, and on Saturday, January 9, 2027, the show will be ASL interpreted.

We also offer ASL interpretation upon request for our major conferences and offer tactile experiences for those who have low vision, are blind, or are on the autism spectrum (also upon request). And Answers TV, our streaming platform, has hundreds of captioned options to help everyone build a more biblical worldview.

We’re thankful for our staff who are dedicated to ensuring we reach as many people as we possibly can with the gospel, including through using their unique skills in areas such as ASL to do that. Please help us spread the word to anyone you know who might benefit from these events and accommodations.

Want to win a grand prize of $3,000?

On November 4, 2026 (the day before our Creation College Expo event), we’re hosting our 2026 STEM Challenge at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. This is a friendly competition between teams (each composed of two to four teens and one adult leader) that puts critical thinking, STEM skills, and creative design to the test. This year’s challenge is to build a balsa tower (prior to the competition day) that will be tested under simulated earthquake conditions and judged by a panel of experts.

Participating teams will also explore real-world applications and learn from experts in the field related to the challenge. It’s going to be a great day.

You will not want to miss this!

We love Logos Theatre. Their productions are Broadway quality, but they are reclaiming the arts for Christ. And one of the ways they’re doing that is through phenomenal stage productions of beloved stories—and we love hosting them at the Ark Encounter on our Answers Center stage. In the past, we’ve hosted:

• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
• The Horse and His Boy
• The Pilgrim’s Progress

Those who attended these productions were amazed at the quality. I consider them equal to or better than stage productions the world puts on. And of course, they have a Christian message.

Now we’re thrilled to be bringing the world of Narnia back to the stage with another world-class dramatized production, this time of Prince Caspian, the fourth book (in the Narnia timeline, following The Horse and His Boy) in The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis.

Their shows really are Broadway-level, with intricate costumes, life-size creatures, and a script that’s faithful to the original books.

Logos Theatre does a tremendous job—their shows really are Broadway-level, with intricate costumes, life-size creatures, and a script that’s faithful to the original books. If you’re a fan of Narnia, you will love Logos’ productions. Prince Caspian is coming to the Ark Encounter on select days from December 28, 2026–January 16, 2027.

You will want to bring the whole family (and friends!) to see Prince Caspian live at the Ark Encounter this winter. Those who attended the previous stage productions by Logos Theatre gave absolutely rave reviews about them, and each production will end with a gospel presentation. Don’t miss this next opportunity to experience a Logos Theatre Narnia production.

Visit ArkEncounter.com/narnia to reserve your tickets today. (Please note, an ASL interpreted showing is available on January 9.) Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity.

I’m thrilled to be able to announce to you that the Megiddo mosaic—the archaeological “find of the century”—is soon leaving the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., to come to the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY.

Right now, our teams are hard at work converting part of our Answers Center lobby into an exhibit hall where this phenomenal find will be displayed while on temporary loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). It will be carefully disassembled in D.C., shipped by the IAA to the Ark Encounter, then reassembled by an IAA team for display. It’s going to be quite the process just to get it here! We anticipate the mosaic going on display sometime this winter.

Here’s some background I shared last year on this incredible archaeological find:

In AD 230, Christianity was technically an illegal religion in the Roman Empire. Severus Alexander sat on the throne as emperor, rising to power at age 13 after his grandmother had her older grandson, Emperor Elagabalus, assassinated. Despite this bloody takeover, Severus was favorable toward Christians, and persecution during his reign was light compared to previous centuries.

Sometime during his reign, a room hosting a communion table to be used by officers of the Roman Legio VI Ferrata was built south of Tel Megiddo in northern Israel. The floor of that room was constructed as a beautiful mosaic, featuring several inscriptions—one of which read, “Akeptous, the friend of God, has offered the table to God Jesus Christ (for) remembrance.”

Within decades, the building was abandoned and dismantled, but an unknown someone took time to cover the mosaic with pottery shards and wall plaster, preserving it until now.

This floor mosaic, featuring the earliest known extra-biblical reference (outside of manuscripts) to Jesus as God, has been called “one of the most important discoveries made in Israel this century.”

We are so excited to be able to display this incredible piece of history.

We are so excited to be able to display this incredible piece of history. We will also be adding to the exhibit as our teams are designing mannequins dressed in accurate period clothing to represent the four people named on the mosaic. Yes, we’re helping to bring this ancient church back to life for a modern audience to experience.

This display—and the renovations in the Answers Center necessary to create the display space—was made possible because of our supporters’ generous donations to our end-of-year campaign last year. Thank you to everyone who gave!

We’re thrilled to be able to display this incredible piece of history and point people toward the truth written on those millennia-old stones: Jesus is God. And this special space for the exhibit will be used for other special temporary exhibits after the Megiddo mosaic is returned.

The world’s most accurate and archaeologically up-to-date—not to mention visually stunning—scale model of first-century Jerusalem (1/100 scale) is currently taking shape in our design studios. We can’t wait to install this incredible new exhibit (really, an attraction all on its own) at the Ark Encounter, but first we have thousands of scale models to 3D print—and we’re hiring model makers and other staff (e.g., to run the 3D printers)!

We’re very excited that much of the backend research and design work (which has taken years) has already been done and that it’s now time to start printing pieces, painting them, and assembling the model. This, of course, will be a challenge all on its own, but our team is very excited for this next step and ready to watch the model they’ve digitally created take physical shape. (I’ll be providing an update on this model soon, so stay tuned for that—you’ll be blown away by some of the features our teams have included.)

But we need your help. We’re hiring for a tech design and fabrication position, as well as several model maker and 3D printer technician positions, to help finish this project.

If you’d like to use your artistic giftings to serve the Lord through the production of this incredible model, I encourage you to apply today at AnswersInGenesis.org/jobs. And if that’s not you, help us spread the word and be praying the Lord brings just the right people along for this unique and Christ-honoring project.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Well, this is a statistic you might not be expecting: A Gallup poll I saw recently found that 37% of Americans believe “God created humans in their present form within the past 10,000 years.” Another 34% said humans evolved but God guided the process. That means 7 in 10 Americans affirm at least involvement from God in creating human beings.

Now, of course, starting with the Bible, we do not agree that God used evolution to create mankind (or anything else), but that statistic is still very intriguing and significant—no other Western nation has such a high percentage of creationists. So what makes America so unique?

Well, I have a hypothesis—and I share it in the 10-minute video below. I encourage you to check it out.

Yes, I do believe the modern creation movement has had a big impact on this nation (and other nations too!). We praise God for the work He’s done through the proclamation of His Word.

When a college teaches students to start with God’s Word as the authority and equips them to answer the skeptical questions of our day, it makes a huge difference.

The minority—and, sadly, it is a minority—of Christian colleges that stand on the authority of Scripture from the very first verse have also had an impact on this nation. When a college teaches students to start with God’s Word as the authority and equips them to answer the skeptical questions of our day, it makes a huge difference. And one such school is Appalachian Bible College, one of our longtime college partners (I’ve spoken there many times over the years).

ABC emphasizes the sufficiency of the Word of God in all areas of life—a value that’s reflected in the classroom, where the Bible is the foundation of every course taught. And to further their mission of equipping men and women to serve the Lord, they even provide a scholarship that covers 100% of tuition for qualifying first-time, full-time residential students.

You can learn more about this great school, located in West Virginia, at their website or by visiting their booth at our upcoming, free (for registered students), and popular Creation College Expo at the Ark Encounter, November 5–7, 2026.

This event allows you to meet one-on-one with school representatives to learn about prospective colleges—all of whom have been vetted by Answers in Genesis (though, of course, you must do your due diligence as well). Your student will also hear teaching from myself, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, and AiG’s Avery Foley and Bryan Osborne—along with live concerts, a drama presentation of The Pilgrim’s Progress from our friends at Logos Theatre, and the live drama Never Forsaken by Bob Jones University’s drama team.

This event, generously sponsored by AdelFi Christian Banking, is free for registered 7th–12th grade students—and includes Ark admission for them, plus a 20% admission discount for their immediate families or chaperones—so be sure to register today.

“Is the ministry what you envisioned when you started it all those years ago?”

When people see the size of Answers in Genesis—an organization that now encompasses a wide range of ministries and initiatives—I’m often asked in interviews, both by secular and Christian media, if this is what I imagined all those decades ago when we started AiG.

Well, my answer, with a touch of irony, usually goes something like this:

“Oh yes, this is exactly what we planned 50 years ago when we stepped out in faith to begin a creation apologetics ministry. The Creation Museum, the Ark Encounter, Answers Academy, book and curriculum publishing, a speaking and conference ministry, translation ministry, social media outreach, a streaming platform, and all the other facets of the ministry—yes, we planned it precisely this way.”

And then I laugh.

People get the point. We had absolutely no idea this is where the ministry would be today. But it’s a reminder that:

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares Yahweh. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8–9)

As my wife, Mally, has said to me, “It’s just as well God didn’t reveal all He had in store for us, or we probably would have been like Jonah and run away.”

It is also vital that we not neglect the “engines” that run the ministry—the behind-the-scenes work that powers everything else.

I thought about that recently, as this is normally the time of year when we launch our end-of-year fundraising campaign. In recent years, we have focused on new exhibits and upgrades for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. And those are certainly important.

But it is also vital that we not neglect the “engines” that run the ministry—the behind-the-scenes work that powers everything else.

Most people, including many of our supporters, don’t realize the extent of what goes on behind the scenes to feed and support all the various departments and outreaches.

I often think of Answers in Genesis as somewhat like two power-generation stations:

1. The power generator for all the ministry outreaches: A vital component of this is the content we research, write, and provide.
2. The power generator for the operations and the organizational structure that enables the ministry to function effectively.

By God’s grace, approximately 80% of our operating budget is generated through revenue from the attractions, curricula, educational resources, and other streams, and the remaining 20% comes from donations. That is a much healthier position than when we first started Answers in Genesis over 30 years ago, when we were almost entirely dependent on the faithful giving of supporters.

Even so, many vital aspects of the ministry—including much of the research, content development, and the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that powers all our outreaches—cannot sustain themselves through earned revenue alone. They continue to rely on the generosity of those who share our vision.

I’ve told the story before about a missionary couple in Ethiopia whom my parents supported many years ago. They sent an urgent request for funds to purchase a motorcycle so they could travel to remote villages to teach God’s Word and proclaim the gospel. They also requested support for a refrigerator to keep their food from spoiling.

Well, they received twice as much money as they needed for the motorcycle—and not a single donation for the refrigerator! Fortunately, the excess funds for the motorcycle were enough to cover the refrigerator as well

People understandably get excited about helping missionaries take the gospel to remote villages. They’re often not quite as excited about helping keep their food from spoiling!

The point is that most people don’t see all that goes on behind the scenes at Answers in Genesis. They experience the finished product—the world-class attractions, exhibits, teaching, animals, gardens, programs, conferences, and resources. Praise the Lord for that! But behind all of it are what I have been calling the “engines” of the ministry.

Hours and hours of work go into researching and producing content for new exhibits, updating existing exhibits, developing scripts and videos, preparing signage, creating curricula, and producing resources. Sometimes substantial funding is required up front before a project can ever begin generating revenue.

For the past few years, a family foundation has generously provided a matching gift for our end-of-year campaign. Because you, our supporters, have responded each year and matched those funds, this foundation has continued to stand with us and has even increased its dollar-for-dollar matching gift commitment (more on that later).

This year, we approached them about something a little different. We asked if they would consider providing a matching fund to help strengthen the “engines” that drive all the departments and outreaches of Answers in Genesis.

They immediately understood how important this is. The “machinery” behind the scenes must continue to function effectively if the outward ministry is going to continue growing and impacting people.

So what are some of these behind-the-scenes needs?

There is curriculum development. We recognize the urgent need to reach younger generations and equip them to stand boldly in this morally degenerating culture. We want to produce more church, Christian school, and homeschool curricula that are truly grounded in a biblical worldview.

There is research. So much research is needed to ensure we are fully informed as we produce videos, write exhibit scripts and articles, develop curricula, respond to current issues, and equip Christians with answers.

There is the planetarium. It has been a tremendous teaching tool, but technology wears out and needs to be replaced. Programs also need to be updated and new ones produced so we can continue teaching astronomy from a biblical worldview.

There is training and continuing education for our staff so our team remains equipped with the latest technology, information, and skills needed for the ministry’s many outreaches.

There are educational programs and labs for students at the Creation Museum, the Ark Encounter, and Answers Academy. There are camps and day camps designed to help parents train their children. None of these just happen. They require preparation, equipment, staffing, and planning.

There are conferences at the Ark and Creation Museum and speaking at conferences across the nation. Yes, we charge fees to help cover basic costs. But if we charged what these conferences actually cost when you include teaching staff, support staff, preparation, production, and all the other details, many people simply could not attend. So these are subsidized to a degree.

There are the zoo animals, habitats, and programs. We have zoos at both attractions because our signage and live animal programs present information from a biblical worldview. Most zoos are ardently evolutionary. Admission helps with day-to-day upkeep, but animals need to be replaced, habitats upgraded, and programs developed. Our zoo presenters spend countless hours training animals and preparing programs that equip people.

There are the gardens, our horticulture operations, and the Creation Museum conservatory. Our gardens display the handiwork of God in creation, and we want our grounds to reflect the glory of God. Plants need replacing, grounds need maintaining, and we want to add many more plants described in the Bible to the conservatory. All of this takes funding, staffing, planning, and ongoing care.

There is technology—VR headsets and other A/V equipment that wears out, breaks down, and needs to be replaced or upgraded. There is grounds and maintenance equipment, such as mowers that are used constantly and eventually must be replaced. And of course, there are recurring expenses such as various utilities that keep everything functioning day after day.

There are exhibits in progress at our design and fabrication center. Many people don’t realize it can take months of totally subsidized work to research, plan, design, and prepare an exhibit before we can even present it publicly and raise funds for it to be built and installed.

There is our Department of Public Safety. In today’s fallen world, this is absolutely necessary. Our team uses K9 units, special detectors, medical equipment, trained personnel, and other resources to help ensure the safety of our guests and staff. Our K9 units are also made available free of charge to outside law enforcement agencies in various situations, opening wonderful doors in the community. Our security team conducts training for law enforcement officers from across the United States and other parts of the world, with optional Bible study opportunities. What an outreach!

And then there is our staff—our greatest asset. Many have families, some with large families, and we want to care for them in a way that honors the Lord. Scripture tells us that a workman is worthy of his hire. Staffing is one of the largest costs of the ministry, but it is also one of the most necessary. Many of our staff go far beyond what is expected because they believe in this ministry.

There is also our translation ministry. We have an obligation to disseminate the information God has entrusted to us to the rest of the world. That is part of the great commission. But translation work has to be highly subsidized, particularly in countries where people simply cannot afford what people can in the United States or where the Christian population is very small. The internet and AI are helping us greatly, but this still requires technology, staff involvement, services in other countries, and ongoing funding.

There is social media. Even 10 years ago, would we have imagined it would become one of the major ways of communicating information to the world? Today, people expect quality video content through YouTube and other platforms. We continue to build our social media team and invest in studio equipment so we can produce engaging biblical worldview content that reaches people where they are.

We have to be very careful and restrict the advertising that accompanies social media because many ads are not consistent with our moral and biblical convictions. And that revenue only covers a portion of the budget, which means this outreach must be subsidized. But what an outreach it is! We now have over one million YouTube subscribers, and our videos have been viewed millions upon millions of times. Every day, people around the world are being exposed to the truth of God’s Word.

There is Answers TV, our streaming platform containing more than 7,000 programs. It allows us to preserve decades of teaching and resources while providing new programming for all ages.

Yes, we charge a subscription fee, but we are competing in a world of low-cost streaming services backed by millions of subscribers. We simply do not have the subscriber base of companies such as Netflix. So Answers TV continues to require significant subsidy. Nevertheless, we believe it is a strategic ministry investment—a place where families can access trustworthy biblical content without being inundated by the world’s messaging.

And then there is Answers Academy.

We started a Christian academy to use the expertise the Lord has given this ministry to build a model Christian school—one that would help us produce truly biblical worldview curricula. Frankly, there is not much available today that we would testify consistently teaches from a truly biblical worldview.

We want to produce curricula for Christian schools that can also be used by homeschools and churches, while developing online curriculum. Many people have asked if we could take Answers Academy “to the world.” We believe the Lord may be opening doors for that.

Investment in Answers Academy helps provide STEM learning tools; library and literacy resources; athletics and physical education equipment; fine arts, drama, and performance materials; Bible curriculum development; and professional development for teachers and administrators.

As I often say to people, we don’t lack vision!

And God has always provided for our needs, although I admit that at times we have struggled. It has often seemed to me that conservative Christian ministries that truly stand on God’s Word and teach the truth are often the ones that struggle financially. We have had foundations that support what they would call relatively conservative Christian ministries turn us down because of our stand on six literal days and a young earth. That has happened on a number of occasions.

Behind the Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, the conferences, books, videos, school, curriculum, translations, gardens, animals, security, research, and all the other outreaches, there are “engines” that must keep running.

Much of this work is not glamorous. Much of it is not seen. Much of it does not pay for itself directly.

But it is essential.

And praise the Lord for a foundation that understands this and continues to stand with Answers in Genesis. Once again, this foundation is providing a very generous matching gift, and they agreed on the importance of strengthening the internal “engines” that drive the rest of the ministry.

In a way, I see this as God preparing the ministry for even bigger things in the future.

The foundation has graciously offered to match all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, to AiG’s core ministry—the “engine”—from now through December 31, 2026, up to $12 million, for a total end-of-year campaign of $24 million!

As I alluded to earlier, the foundation has graciously offered to match all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, to AiG’s core ministry—the “engine”—from now through December 31, 2026, up to $12 million, for a total end-of-year campaign of $24 million!

This foundation has been so encouraged by the tremendous impact of Answers in Genesis—and by the incredible way our faithful supporters have risen to meet their challenge year after year—that they have offered the largest matching gift in AiG’s history! Wow! What an extraordinary blessing this could be, providing a tremendous boost to help advance the entire ministry and proclaim the truth of God’s Word and the gospel to even more.

Would you prayerfully consider making a generous gift today to help us take full advantage of this matching opportunity? Your gift will be doubled through the match, and it will help strengthen the very engines that power so many outreaches, reaching millions of people with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.

Thank you for standing with us. We are so grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and faithful support.

In Christ,
Ken

Most people think of VBS as a summer activity, but it’s always great to see churches get creative and use our Answers VBS curriculum in other ways. We’ve heard from people who’ve used VBS for a backyard Bible club or a midweek Bible study. Others adapt it for a special Sunday school program.

Our VBS teaches apologetics and biblical worldview, has science experiments, and really connects the Bible to the real world.

The powerful content is so deep and so rich that it can definitely be used beyond the five days of VBS that it’s designed for. Our VBS teaches apologetics and biblical worldview, has science experiments, and really connects the Bible to the real world.

If that kind of outreach sounds like something your church would like to host, check out our special VBS sale. This month only, we’re running a final sale on all our Emerald Crossing VBS supplies—everything is 50 to 90% off! What a great opportunity to pick up a VBS kit to run a weeknight Bible program at your church or to grab some Sunday school prizes or fall festival giveaways. Items such as Super Starter and Starter Kits, T-shirts, tote bags, badges, bandanas, decorations, and more are all on sale.

Answers VBS really is a powerful and unique VBS program. It’s:

• rich in Bible teaching
• relevant to the issues of our day
• filled with apologetics
• evangelistic

This year’s theme, Emerald Crossing, was so impactful—churches loved the in-depth teaching through Psalm 23 as they taught kids how to go from anxiety to peace through Jesus Christ.

This 50–90% off sale is running through the month of September, but once items are sold out, they are gone forever, so shop early for the best selection.

Was earth a hostile, dangerous place for millions and millions of years as catastrophe after catastrophe afflicted it? That’s the view presented in the visually compelling, but evolution-filled, NBC documentary Surviving Earth.

Everyone has the same evidence, but different interpretations occur because of different starting points.

This eight-part series focuses on extinct animals and the supposed mass-extinction events that evolutionists believe happened over supposed millions and millions of years of earth’s history. It’s a great example of a point we at Answers in Genesis make all the time: Everyone has the same evidence, but different interpretations occur because of different starting points.

Evolutionists look at fossils, rock layers, and earth’s other geological features and see evidence of a series of global (or close to it) catastrophes across hundreds of millions of years. Biblical creationists look at the same fossils, rock layers, and other geological features and see evidence for one global catastrophe—the catastrophic Flood of Noah’s day just a few thousand years ago.

The issue isn’t the evidence—it’s a battle over interpretation because of two different starting points.

Joel Leineweber, a paleoartist and AiG’s VP of Design, recently reviewed this documentary, pointing out what they got right, what’s just evolutionary storytelling, and how we interpret the same evidence in a biblical flood model. You can watch that video here:

Today is a sobering anniversary. It was 25 years ago on this date that terrorists attacked the United States, killing nearly 3,000 people. I’m sure that, like me, many of you reading this can remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you first heard or saw the news. It was truly horrifying.

At the time, millions of people were asking, “How could God allow this?” and a quarter of a century later, people have the same question about that tragedy and the many other tragedies that have happened since. How do we as Christians answer the “question of evil”?

Well, I recently recorded a video reflecting on the sad anniversary of 9/11. I encourage you to watch it and share it with others as people across the nation remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

As we reflect on the brokenness and pain of this sin-cursed world, we need to be reminded of the promises of God and what’s coming because of His grace toward us:

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain. The first things passed away.”

And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:1–5)

AiG’s Troy Lacey wrote an excellent article reflecting on that sad day, September 11, 2001, that I encourage you to read. It’s a sobering reminder of what happened, the impact, and why it was seared into the memory of those who witnessed it. Please share it with others on this 25th anniversary. You can find it here.

Praise the Lord! I’m thrilled to share that the Lord powerfully used our 40 Days of Christian Music Festival at the Ark Encounter for His glory. The times of worship, Bible teaching, and gospel challenge encouraged so many believers, and 1,844 people made professions of faith!

I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)

There’s been much rejoicing in heaven over the past 40 days!

There’s been much rejoicing in heaven over the past 40 days! Praise the Lord.

Our 2026 concert lineup included dozens of artists, including big names such as Matthew West, Crowder, CAIN, and Jamie MacDonald, with Jeremy Camp closing out the event this past Saturday. I also spoke during the final evening. Enjoy these photos:

Our 40 Days of Christian Music Festival is over for 2026, but it will be back next year. These concerts are free with Ark Encounter admission (or museum admission for concerts at the Creation Museum). It’s a great time to visit the attractions and enjoy a wonderful concert and gospel message.

Be sure to keep an eye on 40DaysOfChristianMusic.com for when the 2027 dates and lineup are posted. And consider purchasing an annual pass to enjoy multiple concerts along with everything else the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum have to offer. We are finding many now purchase the annual pass to come to as many events as they can. I even met some ladies who came to every concert!

Trees glow during thunderstorms.

A recent study of tree leaves has revealed what scientists have long suspected but have never been able to observe: The tips of tree leaves shimmer as a thunderstorm passes overhead. This “glow” is called the corona and is caused by a weak electrical discharge. It’s invisible to the naked eye, but technology has allowed researchers to observe and document the phenomena. And this glow is actually really important.

This whole process is just another example of how our Creator God has lovingly provided for the needs of His creation.

As the corona is discharged, it releases hydroxyl radicals, which clean the air, removing pollutants. It’s such a powerful cleaning force that it’s known as “nature’s detergent.” This whole process is just another example of how our Creator God has lovingly provided for the needs of His creation.

AiG’s Avery Foley and Bryan Osborne recently discussed this new study and some of its interesting implications in a video for our YouTube channel. It quickly garnered over 100,000 views—people love learning new things about God’s creation. I encourage you to watch and share this fascinating video:

God’s creation is truly amazing, and every discovery of the things He’s made brings glory to Him.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before Yahweh, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness. (Psalm 96:11–13)

Have you read Home Fires yet?

Home Fires is a new book written by my wife, Mally. I’m very excited for this wonderful new resource. I think it will be such an encouragement and a challenge to women (and men) in all walks of life as they consider how they can put Jesus first, others second, and themselves last in whatever sphere God has called them to.

It’s a unique book and very personal but filled with wisdom, biblical teaching, and life application.

Mally’s book is her story, starting from her childhood and tracing the growth of the AiG ministry from her perspective and discussing what it has been like keeping the home fires burning while I’ve traveled around the world speaking and teaching for over 50 years. It’s a unique book and very personal (you will enjoy never-before-heard stories of the Ham family) but filled with wisdom, biblical teaching, and life application. I think it will really challenge you—in a good way!

You’ll appreciate her wisdom on:

• Marriage rooted in biblical oneness and sacrificial love
• Family shaped by intentional discipleship and grace
• Faith that holds firm through trials, betrayal, and uncertainty
• Contentment in seasons of financial pressure and personal sacrifice
• Legacy built one faithful day at a time
• How and why your work and faithfulness matter

I encourage you to order your copy of Home Fires or download the audiobook—read by Mally herself—today from AnswersBookstore.com.

If I had a nickel for every ridiculous Ark Encounter claim I’ve seen in the media over the years, we could probably build a whole new attraction! (Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s close!) And I’ve got another one to add to the list.

It’s amazing how the media frames headlines and stories (or makes news out of nothing!). I share all the details of a recent news “story” about the Ark—along with my reaction—in the video below, and I poke some fun at the newspaper in a friendly and humorous way (with some serious comments too).

The Ark Encounter continues to welcome tens of thousands of guests each year, and the AiG ministry continues to reach millions of people. Praise the Lord!

I encourage you to plan a visit to the Ark Encounter now to see it for yourself or to join us for one of our special events, such as:

• 40 Days of Christian Music (ending September 5, 2026, with Jeremy Camp)
• Christmas at the Ark Encounter (a wonderful event with free admission—guests just pay for parking)
• Prince Caspian, part of C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia series, performed live onstage by Logos Theatre
• Answers for Men, Answers for Women, Answers for Pastors, Spark at the Ark, or Answers Homeschool Experience

Go to ArkEncounter.com/visit to get started.

Jeremy Camp is coming to the Ark Encounter!

We’re in the final week of our popular 40 Days of Christian Music festival at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. It’s been an incredible time, with artists such as Jamie MacDonald, Crowder, CAIN, and so many others performing live in the Answers Center at the Ark or in Legacy Hall at the Creation Museum. And each concert is included free with attraction admission!

This final week includes:

• September 2: The Sound and Tim Lovelace at the Ark; Eighteen Mile and our resident artists, TrueSong, at the museum
• September 3: Karen Peck & New River and Peach Goldman at the Ark
• September 4: The Isaacs and High Road at the Ark
• September 5: Jeremy Camp and TrueSong at the Ark

Yes, Jeremy Camp is closing out the whole event for this year (and I will be giving the Bible teaching/gospel presentation that evening). It’s been an incredible few weeks of worshipping the Lord and gospel presentations (a powerful gospel message is given each night). So far, almost 1,600 people have made professions of faith after the concerts. Praise the Lord!

Please pray with us that the Lord would use the remaining days to plant more seeds of the gospel.

Please pray with us that the Lord would use the remaining days to plant more seeds of the gospel, and if you can, join us for one of these groups. Each concert is free with admission to the Ark Encounter (or, if the concert is at the Creation Museum, with museum admission). It’s a great time to tour the attractions and enjoy a free concert. And if you can’t make it this year, stay tuned for next year’s schedule.

Last week, the sad news broke that country singer and celebrity Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. She was, of course, known for her singing and acting career, but perhaps just as much, she was known for her generosity and philanthropy—particularly to those in her home state of Tennessee. That legacy is what many in the media, and celebrities posting tributes, are focusing on. So why did I make a video regarding Dolly Parton’s death?

Here is the video I released shortly after the news broke. I encourage you to watch it before you read the rest of this blog post. In it, I compare some of her beliefs (she often talked publicly about what she believed) against the authority of Scripture, and I challenge people regarding where they will spend eternity.

So why did I respond to the sad death of this particular celebrity? Well, for a couple of reasons. One is that the announcement of her death was very, very public, with many people commenting on it and many (including some Christian leaders) lifting her up as a wonderful example of a Christian for others to follow. Now, certainly her remarkable generosity is worth emulating and has impacted many people over the decades. It’s a good thing to celebrate a virtue like generosity. But as I shared in the video, she had many beliefs that contradicted Scripture, and Christians need to be discerning, comparing everything against Scripture and not putting anyone up on a pedestal.

The second reason was that whenever someone famous dies, people think of the moment of their own mortality. They’re reminded that everyone—no matter how rich, famous, or wonderful they were—dies eventually. And that makes for a great opportunity to share the gospel. That’s why I started with comparing some of her beliefs with Scripture and then moved into the gospel message. The video was very popular, quickly gaining hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views, many from people who would not normally watch our content. We pray that those gospel seeds produce fruit.

You can hear more of my response in a second video I released—this video also has hundreds of thousands of views:

It’s a reminder that death is an enemy; it’s a consequence of sin affecting everything. But death isn’t the end.

It’s always sad when someone dies. It’s a reminder that death is an enemy; it’s a consequence of sin affecting everything. But death isn’t the end. The Bible is clear that we all die and then stand before the judgment seat of Christ. And when we stand before God’s judgment seat, our good works, our generosity, or how much we were loved by others won’t save us. We stand condemned because of our sin. The only thing that will save us from God’s just wrath over our sin is the blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift, given to those who place their faith in Christ.

And you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, among whom we all also formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:1–10)

Are you prepared for eternity? There’s no more important question to answer.

How do we share Christ by starting with the things that He’s made?

That was one of the questions I was asked as a guest on the podcast God’s Great Outdoors: Trail to Adventure. We covered a lot of ground during the 48-minute interview—from my growing-up years in Australia to the history of Answers in Genesis to how we built a life-size Ark to the importance of biblical worldview education for children and then to how we can be equipped to answer skeptical questions. I encourage you to listen to this interview—it’s available on Spotify.

Yes, we can certainly start with creation—and a love of the outdoors—and use what God has made to move people toward biblical truth and the gospel message. After all, as Romans 1 says, it’s obvious to everyone that God exists because of the things that He’s made.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, both His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

What does a complicated legal dispute over archival footage have to do with Answers in Genesis?

Well, according to one tech website, a PBS broadcaster called Nine PBS “is afraid that it will lose over 70 years of archival materials and programming after its contracted cloud storage vendor has apparently gone out of business.” Over 50 terabytes of data from footage going back to the 1950s is at risk of being completely lost due to Nine PBS being currently unable to retrieve the data after the cloud storage system they contracted with went out of business and the company currently hosting the data refused to give it back (though it appears a judge ruled they do have to give it back—so hopefully they can get it back!).

This story is a good reminder of why we built our streaming platform, Answers TV!

This story is a good reminder of why we built our streaming platform, Answers TV! We wanted to be able to preserve past conferences and past presentations, while also creating lots of new content, and not have to worry about being deplatformed by a company that doesn’t like our message—or, apparently, as Nine PBS is finding out, a company that just doesn’t want to give footage back!

Social media such as YouTube is a wonderful resource for sharing the message of biblical authority—we get millions of views across our channels each year—but it’s limited, and there’s always the risk of deplatforming. So we created our streaming platform, Answers TV, to do our best to ensure easy access to all of our Answers in Genesis materials, including past “archival” footage that’s not available anywhere else. And, of course, we keep backups.

Answers TV now hosts over 7,000 programs including nature documentaries, hands-on science shows, adventure programs, teaching presentations, in-depth Answers University series, animated shows for kids, Spanish and Arabic language programming, and so much more. And everything teaches biblical worldview, apologetics, and the gospel and is safe for the whole family.

If you haven’t subscribed to Answers TV, I encourage you to check it out. Go to Answers.tv for a free seven-day trial.

Oh, and with the homeschool year just starting, I especially encourage homeschool parents to check it out—it’s a wonderful supplement to your homeschool curriculum. You’ll find science, music appreciation, culture and social studies, and so much more on Answers TV.

For many American families, the school year has recently begun again (or it will soon). And for many of these families, their children are heading back to a public (secular = anti-God) school classroom. If that’s you, are your kids prepared to think biblically about what they’ll be learning?

You are either for Christ or against Him, and since our education system is based on atheistic naturalism, it’s certainly not for Christ!

Now, as I’ve said many times, the secular education system is not neutral. There is no neutrality. You are either for Christ or against Him, and since our education system is based on atheistic naturalism, it’s certainly not for Christ! Children must be equipped to think biblically about the challenges to their faith and the naturalistic thinking they’ll inevitably be exposed to. (Of course, this is true for any student! Every child must be equipped, so these resource suggestions are also great for homeschool or Christian school students).

Today, I wanted to highlight three free resources you can use with your children to help equip them.

1. Kids Answers: This website is just for kids and is filled with fun apologetics content in articles, videos, games, and activities. It’s all designed to lay the foundation of a biblical worldview and to give them answers to the questions of our day. It’s a great site to let them explore on their own (everything is safe for them, and there are no external links) or, better yet, to sit down and enjoy with them.
2. The New Answers Books: Did you know you can read most of all four of these best-selling apologetics books for free? If you have middle or high school students, it’s a good idea to go through these books together so they’ll be equipped with answers to about 120 of the most common objections to the truth of God’s Word. Consider picking a chapter a week to go through and discuss together. (You can also order print versions of these books or pick up our Answers Books for Kids series for elementary students. They are excellent. Another great resource for families is Creation to Babel, my family commentary on the foundational chapters of Genesis.)
   
3. Our YouTube channels (especially the Answers in Genesis and Ken Ham channels): We regularly post videos featuring myself and other AiG speakers and writers. These videos give answers to common questions about the Bible and provide biblical commentary and worldview insights into the top science and culture stories of our day. Consider watching one of these videos on the way to or from school and then discussing it together. It’s a great way to have meaningful conversations with your kids while you both think through the issues of our day, starting with Scripture.

An exciting new zoo building is now open at the Creation Museum!

Creature Feature is our first official walk-through–style zoo building and exhibits a variety of interesting creatures.

The zoos at our two attractions are extremely popular with guests of all ages, and a brand-new zoo exhibit at the Creation Museum will just add to the amazing experience. Our Creature Feature building is now officially open, right next to our beautiful Butterfly House and Plants of the Bible Conservatory.

Creature Feature is our first official walk-through–style zoo building and exhibits a variety of interesting creatures, including:

• 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

A few of these animals are still in quarantine (all new animals must quarantine for a specific period of time), but once they are cleared, they will join the others already on exhibit. Admission to the fantastic Creature Feature is included with your Creation Museum admission.

Of course, this new building will also feature apologetics content, biblical worldview teaching, and fun animal facts.

The Creation Museum certainly is “more than a museum” (in fact, much more)! It’s amazing to see how the Lord has grown this attraction since we opened in 2007.

Home Fires. Yes, that is the name of a new book by a surprising author—my wife, Mally. Now, she will be the first to tell you she is not a writer or speaker and always wants to be behind the scenes supporting me, our family, and the ministry as she has always done.

But Master Books, the publisher of many of my books, wanted Mally to write a book about her life and how she’s supported me in ministry, how she’s coped, and what lessons she has learned that could be a help to others.

So after putting as much pressure on her as President Trump put on Iran, we worked out a way for her to do this. One of our writers, Avery Foley, sat with Mally and recorded her as she told her story! Avery then put it all together, keeping Mally’s words and turning them into what I believe is a powerful book. It is captivating, emotional, convicting, and very personal. And yes, she does tell some family secrets! I’ve had people tell me they want to read it just to find out more about “Kenny” Ham (when you read the book, you will understand).

We had a number of well-known Christians read the manuscript. Here are just some of the statements they sent to us:

Insightfully written; replete with biblically sound counsel for young women who find themselves engaged in ministry alongside their husbands. Mally ignores the low-hanging fruit and concentrates on the root of marital oneness in ministry. She doesn’t sugarcoat but rather goes to the heart of our ultimate commitment, which is to our Lord and Savior. . . .

Her wisdom is what is needed in a world where young women are no longer sure of what their roles should be in our society. She reminds us women of our godly purpose/calling as we strive to be keepers of our homes, mothers, and supportive wives, and she fiercely defends our God-given right and ability to do so.

In a world where the mantra is me, myself, and I, Mally reminds us that it should be God first, others, then ourselves.

— Bridget Baucham,
Wife of the late Voddie Baucham

We thank God that Mally surrendered to the pressure of writing this excellent book. It is a beautiful book portraying her life alongside of her husband as it recounts how much God played a role in her life as well as his. The world has benefitted from their lives and continues to be blessed by their obedience. Psalm 37:5 describes their lives perfectly.

— Pastor Jack and Lisa Hibbs,
Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

Well-known Christian author, podcaster, and speaker Heidi St. John wrote the foreword. Here is a section from that:

In a world that often celebrates the loud, the visible, and the instantly viral, Mally Ham stands as a quiet treasure—a woman whose life whispers the beautiful truth that God delights in using the ordinary, the shy, and the unseen to accomplish the extraordinary.

I love Mally Ham. She’s the real deal—and in the pages that follow, I have a feeling you will come to see her, like Ken does, as the “real” VIP at Answers in Genesis. . . .

Mally will insist that she’s not an author—but I disagree. Avery writes Mally’s story beautifully—but God is the one who deserves the credit for what you are about to read.

In the pages ahead, you’ll see for yourself how Mally does far more than recount history. She opens her heart to teach timeless biblical truths on parenting, marriage, and faithfulness in ministry, while gently calling every reader (and reminding herself!) to finish well. This is not a book for spectators; it is a roadmap for those who long to walk humbly with their God, trusting that He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it.

One of our staff members who read the manuscript said, “I think this will outsell all your books.” I had already thought the same thing! And I pray it does.

I’m excited to share the following press release with you because it involves good news in Canada! That nation, like my homeland of Australia, is very post-Christian, and the church in Canada desperately needs to be grounded in the truth of a biblical worldview. So Answers in Genesis is partnering with Cántaro Institute to advise on a new biblical-worldview science center to be built on a beautiful property in the Niagara Falls region of Ontario.

Joe Owen, our Director of Worldwide Outreach, is helping Cántaro Institute launch this new Worldview Science Center. I encourage you to read all the details in the press release below from Christian Renewal Magazine and consider supporting this exciting project.

A quiet property in southern Ontario is becoming the setting for a much bigger story. What was once a boys’ military school is now being reimagined as Worldview Campus—a Christian ministry hub designed to serve families, churches, students, leaders, and the wider culture. At the heart of that vision is an ambitious new project: the Worldview Science Center.

The story begins with Dutch Canadian entrepreneur John Hultink, whose life has already included publishing, book distribution, and decades of investment in Christian work. His latest chapter centers on donating the amount needed for Cántaro Institute to purchase 171 acres near Wellandport, Ontario. The institutionally zoned property includes roughly 57,000 square feet of usable space spread across 10 serviced buildings, with administrative offices, classrooms, dorm rooms, a full-sized gymnasium, and a 250-seat chapel. Renovations are already underway, along with construction of a new book warehouse and retail store.

A Campus Built for More Than One Ministry

Hultink has never been known for thinking small. At 83, he is making a significant investment not simply in buildings, but in a long-term Christian institution. He readily acknowledges that the work requires capable people around him, and one of the key leaders is Steven Martins, director of the Cántaro Institute and manager of Worldview Campus.

“I don’t see my lifelong commitment to the Worldview Campus as a change of course, but as the culmination of what the Lord has been preparing me for.” —Steven Martins

For Martins, the campus is meant to make a Christian world-and-life view visible. Rather than functioning as a collection of disconnected programs, the goal is to build a shared institutional ecosystem in which distinct ministries can work side by side in principled cooperation.

Central to that vision is the Paideia Study Center, planned as the theological, philosophical, publishing, and worldview-formation hub of the campus. It is expected to include a specialized worldview library, classrooms and lecture halls, a media studio for podcasts and online education, publishing and research operations, and programs for mentoring, discipleship, and leadership development.

Other ministries are already part of the picture. Rose City Kids will serve children and families in at-risk neighborhoods across the Niagara region through Christ-centered mentorship, education, and care. Niagara Classical Academy will also be on site, bringing reformational philosophy into a classical Christian curriculum. And in partnership with Answers in Genesis in the United States, the campus is developing the Worldview Science Center and Planetarium.

From an Old Soccer Field to a Destination for Families

Today, one part of the property is still easy to overlook. It is an unkempt soccer field where students from the former military school once trained and competed. The grass is high. The weeds are flourishing. Nothing about it yet looks like a major destination.

But that is precisely what makes the vision so striking. Within the next several years, the expectation is that this field will become home to a new science center—one designed to draw families, school groups, churches, and visitors to the Niagara region for immersive learning rooted in a biblical worldview.

The proposed Worldview Science Center will include interactive exhibit areas, a planetarium and dome theatre, and access to the campus’s broader educational and recreational facilities. Plans for the campus also include a 500-seat auditorium for events, camps, retreats, conferences, and other gatherings.

The aim is not merely to add another attraction to the region. The center is being designed around a theological conviction: creation should move us toward the Creator.

“Through cutting-edge presentations and interactive exhibits, we want visitors not only to learn about the natural world but also to recognize the glory of the Creator behind it. Ultimately, our goal is to point people to our triune God whose glory is declared via creation (Ps. 19:1) and seen redemptively in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:6).” —Joe Owen

A Planetarium Designed to Awaken Wonder

The planetarium is still in the concept stage, but the possibilities are already taking shape. The goal is to use immersive technology to help visitors experience the scale, beauty, and order of the universe in a way that is both scientifically engaging and explicitly Christian.

Programs such as The Created Cosmos are envisioned as journeys through stars, nebulae, galaxies, and immense cosmic structures. Other presentations could place guests alongside an astronaut on a mission to space, showing how human beings can discover, understand, and apply knowledge about the world God has made.

“Our hope is that every visitor leaves with a greater sense of wonder, gratitude, and awe for both creation and its Creator.” —Joe Owen

That sense of wonder is intended to extend beyond the dome. The science center is envisioned as a world-class educational environment where scientific inquiry is explored through a distinctly Christian lens—one that connects the study of creation with questions of meaning, purpose, truth, and worship.

The “Crown Jewel” of a Larger Vision

Joe Owen, an author, educator, and international speaker, has come to Canada from Mexico on behalf of Answers in Genesis (AiG) to help [this group] establish and launch the Worldview Science Center. While continuing to serve as AiG’s Director of Worldwide Outreach, Joe is, for the time being, also heading up the development of Cántaro Institute’s Worldview Science Center at Worldview Campus. His work will focus on helping people understand the relationship between faith, culture, history, and science through the lens of a biblical worldview.

For Owen, the science center is not intended to compete with the other work happening across the property. It is meant to reinforce it.

“Worldview Campus is a place where the Christian worldview takes tangible form. The Worldview Science Center will not compete with the many initiatives already taking place across the campus; rather, it will complement them and serve as their crown jewel.” —Joe Owen

The larger vision is for a place where education and mercy meet, where Christian formation has institutional depth, and where the next generation is equipped to live faithfully under the lordship of Christ in every area of life. The science center will bring faith, science, education, and culture together within that broader mission.

A Story Just Beginning

For now, there are architectural drawings to develop, renovations to complete, funds to raise, exhibits to design, and countless details still ahead. But the direction is clear: a former military academy in rural Ontario is being given new life as a place of Christian education, ministry, and cultural engagement.

And where an overgrown field now sits, the hope is that future generations will one day walk into the Worldview Science Center, look outward at the wonders of creation, and be pointed upward to the Creator who made it all.

We praise the Lord for like-minded ministries that are sharing the truth of God’s Word and the gospel message around the world! Please be praying for this exciting initiative. And if you’d like to learn more about Cántaro Institute, stay up to date as construction progresses, or donate to this project, please visit their website.

Since the beginning of this ministry, I’ve spoken across the nation and the world. I’ve been to England, Ireland, Mexico, Japan, Canada, and many places in between. We’ve also always invested in translation ministries, enabling our resources to reach other nations—which we need to be able to do. But AiG is now reaching the world in a way none of us would have anticipated—through souvenirs at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum gift shops.

Through our partnership with vendors around the world, people are hearing and responding to the gospel.

Each of our attractions features a fair trade area, offering gifts handmade by artisans in countries around the world. These artisans are paid a living wage for their work, helping lift them out of poverty and provide for their families. But that’s not all—through our partnership with vendors around the world, people are hearing and responding to the gospel.

The following update from the retail team regarding our fair trade area was recently shared with all of our AiG staff, and I thought you’d be encouraged by this way we are helping proclaim the gospel—a way that many people would never even think of when they look at this ministry (there is so much that goes on behind the scenes here and so many “ministries within the ministry”—lately I’ve been comparing it to an engine with many cogs, all working toward the same goal).

Recently, Ken Ham described Answers in Genesis as a mighty engine made up of many cogs, each working together to proclaim the authority of God’s Word.

Some of these cogs are highly visible. Our books and educational resources reach hundreds of thousands of people around the world each year. Answers TV, Answers with Ken Ham, our websites, podcasts, and social media extend the ministry’s reach far beyond our campuses. Our speakers faithfully travel throughout the United States and across the globe, equipping believers to defend their faith and boldly proclaim the gospel. Millions of guests visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, where they encounter the truth of Scripture and the saving message of Jesus Christ.

Together, these ministries form a powerful engine, faithfully declaring that God’s Word is true—from the very first verse. Yet one cog in that engine often goes unnoticed. It is smaller. Quieter. Easily overlooked. It is fair trade.

More than Fair Wages

Most people think of fair trade as a system that provides fair prices, safe working conditions, and sustainable livelihoods for artisans and farmers in developing countries.

That definition is true—but for many of the fair trade products carried in the Answers in Genesis gift stores, it is only part of the story.

Behind many of these handcrafted items are Christ-centered ministries faithfully serving in some of the world’s most challenging places. They are doing far more than creating jobs.

Many artisans have heard the good news of Jesus Christ through these ministries—some for the very first time. Families gain stability through honest work that honors God and provides for their daily needs.

These ministries are planting churches where none previously existed. They are training pastors, discipling believers, and establishing Christian schools that teach children to view the world through the lens of God’s Word. They care for widows, orphans, and vulnerable families. Some rescue women and children from the horrors of human trafficking and exploitation, offering not only safety and practical support but the eternal hope found in Christ alone.

This is the transforming power of the gospel at work.

Answers in Genesis partners with many of these ministries by offering their handcrafted products in our gift stores. Every purchase helps sustain both the artisans and the gospel outreach taking place through their ministries.

We regularly receive messages, like the ones below, reminding us that these purchases are making a real difference.

• Thank you so much for your order! Every order we receive from you comes at a crucial time for us, and this one is no different. This order alone will help sustain our operations for more than a month, which means it directly supports the women we employ and the mission we’re here for. Your partnership means the world to us.
• We are thankful for your long partnership, which has sustained us. Thanks so much for your continued support! Our ladies are so very grateful for the continued work from Answers in Genesis.
• Thank you for your orders! Your partnership has a major impact on our artisans and the community. Thanks to your orders, last month we purchased new sweaters, jackets, and clothes for a boys’ orphanage. They were so thrilled! The Lord is doing such a great work there. There are 96 boys, ages four to seventeen. The director himself was once an orphan, dropped off at a train station as a young child. He loves the Lord deeply and faithfully leads this ministry.

When you choose one of these fair trade products, you are doing far more than purchasing a unique gift or meaningful souvenir. You are supporting the mission of Answers in Genesis to proclaim the truth of God’s Word while also strengthening gospel ministries faithfully serving around the world.

What may seem like a small cog is, in God’s hands, helping turn a much larger wheel. Every handcrafted item represents lives being changed through the gospel. Every purchase strengthens ministries that are proclaiming Christ. Every sale creates another opportunity for biblical truth to reach the nations.

That is why fair trade at Answers in Genesis is more than a retail program. It is a gospel partnership. It is an opportunity to participate in God’s work around the world. It is a reminder that even what seems small can have eternal significance when placed in the hands of a faithful God. As Scripture reminds us:

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

We praise the Lord for these ministry partnerships and for how the Lord uses our gift shops to advance His kingdom around the world.

We praise the Lord for these ministry partnerships and for how the Lord uses our gift shops to advance His kingdom around the world.

Will you please pray for our ministry and the many “cogs” within the engine that work tirelessly and faithfully to share God’s Word and the gospel everywhere?

It’s just over four months until Christmas! That means our grounds crew has already started carefully wrapping trees, buildings, and more with millions of bright lights for our stunning Garden of Lights at the Creation Museum and our Sea of Lights at the Ark Encounter—both of which you can visit during the Christmas season.

And that means if your church is planning a Christmas program, it’s time to get started! And we have just the resource for you.

Did you know Answers in Genesis produces high-quality Christmas plays that teach biblical worldview and apologetics while sharing the true meaning of the Christmas season? These plays are written and produced by the wonderful staff at our K–12 biblical worldview Christian school, Answers Academy.

It focuses on a fictional character but addresses real issues at the time of Christ’s birth.

Our newest program is called The Zealot’s Fight. It focuses on a fictional character but addresses real issues at the time of Christ’s birth: how the Jewish people should react to the oppression of the Romans and what the Messiah would really come to do. It connects Old Testament prophecies with the birth, life, and death of Christ and highlights that Jesus didn’t come focused on throwing off human oppression and correcting every injustice—rather, He came to save His people from their sins (and someday, in the new heavens and new earth, all oppression and injustice will be done away with forever).

View Sample

As with all of our resources, this play is filled with apologetics and biblical worldview and is gospel-centered, connecting Jesus—the babe in the manger—with the Old Testament and with what He came to do for sinful mankind. This script—or any of our previous ones—is a great resource for your church, school, or co-op.

I encourage you to check out The Zealot’s Fight and our other unique and powerful Christmas plays. Using these can be a refreshing change for your church or school Christmas program.

If you’re a Christian, how should you run your business?

Much of the practical aspects of running a business will be the same for a Christian and a non-Christian; it will involve the same kinds of tasks, the same workflow, and much of the same problem solving.

As Christians, we should be applying the biblical worldview to all of life, including how we work in the marketplace or run our businesses.

But as Christians, we should be applying the biblical worldview to all of life, including how we work in the marketplace or run our businesses. And there is no neutrality—not in anything! In all of life, you are either for Christ or against Him; you are gathering with Him or scattering; there is light and darkness, rock and sand. So while some things may be the same, everything should definitely not be the same when you’re applying a truly biblical worldview.

I recently sat down with a Christian business podcast, Hundredfold Business Podcast, to discuss the business side of the ministry of Answers in Genesis and how God uniquely prepared me, not just for ministry but also for serving as CEO of a massive organization—Answers in Genesis—along with its attractions, the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. I hope this advice is helpful to other Christians running organizations or businesses.

We praise the Lord for what He’s done over the past 50 years as He grew this ministry into what it is today, including the world’s two leading Christian themed attractions.

What does a recent controversy about a YouTuber and AI teach us about morality?

So here’s the story, according to reports: YouTuber Hank Green, who has 3.2 million subscribers across his channels, recently had to apologize after fans noticed an AI prompt response in one of his videos, showing that he’d been using AI to create the video. After the backlash, he shared that he’s pausing producing videos on some of his channels, saying:

I have been relying too heavily on AI as a research aid. . . . It can be very useful for this task, giving me access to a lot of papers I didn’t know existed really fast, but I think that has been to the detriment of my work because it has not given me the freedom to find all of my own ways into and around a topic.

With how new AI is, the debate rages about ethical and unethical uses for AI. Now, most people would agree there’s nothing wrong with using AI as a productivity tool or for research assistance, maybe even for generating an outline or script that a human fact-checks and adds on to. Many of us at AiG will use AI for such purposes. But when people pass off AI generated content as if it were their own, many people get upset. And why? Well, because it’s a form of plagiarism and seems dishonest. But where does the idea of honesty come from?

You see, people want content creators to be honest, but the concept of honesty comes from a biblical worldview, which most people in our culture today reject. In a secular worldview, there is no moral imperative to be honest—as long as you are getting what you want, why be honest? The end justifies the means! If there is no ultimate authority, there is no ultimate morality, and therefore nothing is truly right or truly wrong. Sure, we may prefer honesty, but that’s all it is—a personal preference—and others might not have the same preference (and without a moral authority, we can’t judge preferences!).

Whenever these kinds of moral controversies erupt, it’s a good reminder that morality only makes sense in a biblical worldview founded on God’s Word.

Whenever these kinds of moral controversies erupt, it’s a good reminder that morality only makes sense in a biblical worldview founded on God’s Word. It’s only because we have an ultimate authority—the unchanging Word of God—that we can say whether things are right or wrong. And the biblical worldview also explains why we intrinsically know things like honesty are moral—we have God’s law written on our hearts (our consciences). Apart from a God-given conscience (which is immaterial), there is no consistent reason humans should just know certain things are right or wrong. Our conscience is another reminder that God’s Word is true.

And yet so many reject the moral absolutes of Scripture and the truth of the gospel in favor of relativistic, whatever “feels right” morality. This kind of thinking is rampant in our culture and absolutely permeates higher education.

If you’d like your student to attend a college that doesn’t teach the relativistic morality that permeates secular colleges (and, sadly, even many Christian colleges), I encourage you to check out the Creation College Partners at our Creation College Expo 2026 at the Ark Encounter, November 5–7.

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).

Attending students 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—including the objective morality of Scripture—opening doors to make a lasting impact for Christ.

Learn more and check out Cedarville for yourself at Cedarville.edu.

In honor of the 250th anniversary of America, events are taking place throughout the year all over the country—including here at the Ark Encounter! As part of the A Nation Remembers event being hosted by Patriot’s Landing (a veterans’ woodshop near the Ark Encounter attraction), an incredible day of faith and patriotism will be taking place at the Ark on September 19, 2026.

It’s a great day to honor their sacrifice and for them to hear the message of the gospel and the truth of God’s Word.

For A Nation Remembers Day at the Ark, I will be speaking, along with my good friend, former astronaut, and Navy test pilot Captain Barry Wilmore and US Air Force veteran and Vietnam POW Captain Bill Robinson. There will also be a full military vehicle display, an afternoon patriotic ceremony, a veteran luncheon, and a concert with the Hoppers.

I encourage you to make plans to attend this special day—and be sure to invite the veteran or active-duty military member in your life. It’s a great day to honor their sacrifice and for them to hear the message of the gospel and the truth of God’s Word.

You can get tickets to A Nation Remembers on our events page.

Oh, and if you can’t make it for this special day, please know that former and active US military members enjoy free Ark Encounter and Creation Museum admission on Veterans Day, November 11, and we always offer a military and first responder discount. You can find all the details on our discounts page.

Well, I made some people upset . . .

That probably won’t come as a shock (and it certainly doesn’t faze me)—people are often upset by our bold proclamation of biblical truth. Nearly every post I make on social media receives at least some degree of negative interaction from unbelievers or Christians who have compromised on the truth of Genesis.

But a recent post on my Facebook page exploded with hate. It was a short post (sometimes these short posts garner the most attention!), and it stated:

A gay “marriage” is not a valid marriage.

That post ignited controversy, and the comments piled up to well over 10,000! Wow! Many of those comments were filled with profanity, threats against me, or accusations that I must be some kind of repressed homosexual. So why did I make the post and why did it get so much negative attention?

Well, I explain that in a recent video we filmed for my social media. I encourage you to watch it for an in-depth exploration into the truth that gay “marriages” aren’t really valid marriages.

We must continue to stand on the authority of God’s Word, even when it’s not popular and even when it garners a lot of hate.

We must continue to stand on the authority of God’s Word, even when it’s not popular and even when it garners a lot of hate. Biblical truth will always make a sinful world angry, but we pray that, as the truth is shared, some people will have soft hearts and will respond by placing their faith in Christ and having a worldview shaped by Scripture.

And remember, it’s God who created marriage and therefore defines what marriage is. And there’s only one marriage God created: one man and one woman for life.

Churches across the nation who use our Answers VBS have just hit an exciting milestone—together we’ve raised enough money to purchase 20 million meals for hungry children through our ministry partner, Children’s Hunger Fund!

Our Answers VBS includes a Missions Moment to encourage the children to turn their love for Jesus into action, serving others.

Our Answers VBS includes a Missions Moment to encourage the children to turn their love for Jesus into action, serving others. We partner with a wonderful mercy ministry, Children’s Hunger Fund, for this part of the curriculum. Not only do they provide for the physical needs of children around the world, but they do so through the local church so that each child has the opportunity to hear the gospel and become connected with a local church. It’s a great example of being the hands and feet of Jesus in this world.

Every summer, hundreds of churches use Answers VBS and choose to raise money for Children’s Hunger Fund. Kids collect spare change ($0.25 can provide one meal) and bring it with them each evening. Over the years we’ve been doing this, churches have together collected enough to buy 20,000,000 meals. That’s incredible!

We also raise money for CHF through special meal deals at the attractions. When one of these meals is purchased, we purchase a meal through CHF to feed a hungry child.

We’re thankful for this wonderful ministry partnership, and we’re excited that 20,000,000 meals have been served in Christ’s name thanks to the Answers VBS program, the churches who use it, and many generous kids.

If you’d like to learn more about our powerful VBS program—which is unique in the world with biblical worldview, apologetics, and incredibly timely themes—visit AnswersVBS.com.

You can learn more and support the wonderful work of CHF at ChildrensHungerFund.org.

Were the naysayers right?

When we were building the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, we received opposition—not only the expected opposition from non-Christians but also opposition from some Christians. In fact, a number of Christians (including a few Christian leaders) chastened me for spending money on these projects. They argued that funds should be used to directly proclaim the gospel and get people saved, not to build attractions.

Well, the Creation Museum just celebrated 19 years and the Ark Encounter hit the 10-year milestone last month. Were these naysayers right?

As I’ve shared in previous letters, guest surveys consistently show that approximately 7–8% of guests at the Ark Encounter and around 5% of guests at the Creation Museum report that either they or someone with them came to Christ as a result of visiting these attractions.

That equates to approximately 100,000 people each year trusting Christ because of a visit to the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum. Think about that for a moment. One hundred thousand people a year.

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a tremendous investment in eternity!

And that’s only what we know from the attractions themselves. It doesn’t include our vacation Bible school programs, resources and curricula, radio broadcasts, social media outreach, Answers TV, speaking ministry, and so many other avenues through which God is using Answers in Genesis.

Notably, as many as 30% of those who visit the attractions are not Christians. The gospel is everywhere throughout them, and you cannot leave without having seeds of the gospel planted!

To me, all of this confirms why building these attractions was such an important vision.

From the very beginning, there were three major reasons for doing so:

First, we wanted to equip Christians in an area that many churches either compromise on, ignore, or simply don’t know how to address. We wanted to help God’s people gain confidence in His Word from the very first verse, and we trusted that this would encourage them to become bolder witnesses for Christ in an increasingly skeptical world.

Second, we wanted to help families raise up godly generations. One of the greatest tragedies of our day has been the catastrophic generational loss from the church. Far too many young people have walked away from the faith. We wanted to provide resources, teaching, experiences, and encouragement that would help parents and grandparents pass a biblical worldview on to the next generation.

And third, we wanted to bring people into worldclass attractions who would never normally attend a church service, evangelistic crusade, or Christian conference. Once there, we could show them the truth of God’s Word, answer skeptical questions, remove stumbling blocks, and present the gospel clearly, lovingly, and boldly.

In many ways, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are among the largest gospel outreaches in the world.

What some people criticized as merely “building attractions” has, by God’s grace, become a powerful tool for proclaiming His Word and seeing lives transformed for eternity.

Every day, families walk through our doors. Every day, children hear biblical truth. Every day, skeptics encounter answers to questions they may have struggled with for years. Every day, people are challenged with the authority of God’s Word and confronted with the saving message of the gospel.

And every time I walk through these attractions, I’m reminded that what some people criticized as merely “building attractions” has, by God’s grace, become a powerful tool for proclaiming His Word and seeing lives transformed for eternity.

I’d like to take you on a journey—a walk through the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter.

What I’m about to show you is only a small sample. It doesn’t include the many other places where aspects of the gospel are explained, biblical truth is taught, or visitors are challenged concerning their relationship with the Lord.

So come with me on this journey.

As you look at these photographs, remember that millions of people walk through these attractions. Many come as Christians and leave encouraged in their faith. Others come as skeptics. Some come because they’re curious. Some come because a friend or family member persuaded them to visit.

And many hear the gospel for perhaps the first time in their lives.

Let’s start at the Creation Museum.

Creation Museum

1. Relevance of Genesis Exhibit

   

   One of the first major exhibits that guests encounter presents the gospel message from Genesis to the resurrection through stunning animated artwork. The accompanying signage walks people through God’s plan of redemption from beginning to end

   For many guests, this is one of the first times they have seen the gospel presented as the true history of the world.

   
   

2. Sacrifice Scene

   

   This exhibit depicts the first blood sacrifice as God provided coverings for Adam and Eve after their sin.

   What a picture of what was to come! The shedding of blood points forward to Jesus Christ—the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of the world. The signage clearly explains this connection and presents the saving gospel message.

   
   

3. Christ, Cross, Consummation Exhibit

   This exhibit concludes the famous 7 C’s walk through history.

   

   Here, visitors encounter the person and work of Jesus Christ in a dramatic presentation featuring beautiful artwork and clear biblical teaching concerning His death, burial, and resurrection. Guests also learn about the new heavens and new earth and the glorious contrast between the first Adam, who brought death, and the last Adam, Jesus Christ, who brings life.

   
   

4. Radiance Exhibit

   

   This stunning exhibit addresses one of the greatest struggles of our modern culture—identity. Through powerful visuals and a specially produced animated presentation, visitors learn that our true identity is not found in the world’s shifting definitions but in Jesus Christ. The gospel is clearly presented, and guests are challenged with the message of salvation.

   
   

5. Conservatory

   

   The gospel is even presented in our Plants of the Bible Conservatory.

   Visitors learn about the crown of thorns associated with Christ’s suffering and crucifixion. The presentation points directly to the Savior and clearly explains the gospel message.

   
   

6. Planetarium

   

   At the conclusion of our spectacular Created Cosmos program, guests are reminded that among all the wonders of the universe, earth is uniquely special. Why?

   Because this is the planet where God stepped into history in the person of His Son to rescue fallen mankind.

Ark Encounter

Now let’s continue our journey through the life-size Noah’s Ark.

1. Pre-Flood Exhibit

   

   Throughout the Ark, visitors encounter breathtaking artwork depicting key events from Genesis, including scenes pointing directly to God’s redemptive plan such as sacrifices and other events that help guests understand the gospel message woven throughout Scripture.

   
   

2. The Door

   

   This is perhaps my favorite feature (and the most photographed) in the entire Ark.

   Visitors stand before a massive door illuminated by a brilliant cross. The message is simple and powerful.

   Just as Noah and his family passed through a door to be saved in the Ark of salvation, we too must enter through a door to be saved. And that door is Jesus Christ.

   I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9)

   
   

3. The Movie

   Guests watch a 20-minute film portraying a secular reporter who comes to investigate Noah’s Ark and hears the gospel message. Notably, the film includes a holographic appearance by Ray Comfort from Living Waters, who presents the gospel in his uniquely engaging way.

   

   Over the years, I’ve heard from many people who trusted in Christ after watching this film. One man told me that his son-in-law was not a Christian when he entered the Ark, but after watching the movie, he prayed to receive Christ as Savior. The man then smiled and said, “I have a boring testimony because I became a Christian as a child, but my son-in-law became a Christian on the Ark.”

   
   

4. Searching for Truth

   This unique contemporary exhibit follows three university students, including one Christian, discussing the existence of God.

   

   Through the course of their conversations, biblical truth is presented, questions are answered, and the gospel is clearly explained. By the end of the story, one of the skeptical students comes to faith in Christ.

   As guests leave the exhibit, they can take a gospel tract that further explains the message of salvation.

   
   

5. Virtual Reality Experience

   

   Our virtual reality experience transports guests back in time to witness Noah building the Ark, but the most important part comes at the end. The door of the Ark becomes a powerful illustration of salvation pointing people to Jesus Christ and the gospel.

   
   

My point is this:

No one can visit the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum without hearing the gospel presented in one way or another.

These are not merely attractions. They are powerful evangelistic outreaches.

It’s one reason we faced such intense opposition while building them. And it’s one reason opposition continues today.

The enemy is not pleased when millions of people are confronted with the truth of God’s Word and the saving message of the gospel.

Please know that when you support Answers in Genesis, your gift is an investment in eternity. Frankly, I can’t think of a greater investment.

Jesus said:

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. (Luke 15:10)

And:

I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)

Just think about that.

If heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents, imagine the rejoicing that has occurred because of the many thousands of people the Lord has brought to Himself through this ministry.

There’s a lot of rejoicing going on in heaven because of what God is doing through Answers in Genesis.

Now tell me—what better investment could anyone make?

Would you prayerfully consider a gift today to help us reach even more people with the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel? Every gift makes an eternal impact.

We are grateful for you being a part of the Answers in Genesis family. We cannot do what we do without the Lord’s blessing and the generosity of you and so many others. Thank you!

In Christ,
Ken

Evolution is a blind-faith belief.

Now evolutionists don’t like when I say that; they claim that creationists like me have a blind faith while they have science and facts. But this misunderstands the nature of evolution. You see, the idea of evolution doesn’t come from fossils, biology, or DNA. Rather, it comes from an interpretation of the fossils, biological systems, and DNA from a worldview founded in the belief of naturalism (atheism). Scientists start with their worldview—evolutionary naturalism—and they interpret the evidence in light of their worldview. It’s a belief system (really a religion) that relies on faith. But it’s a blind faith.

Evolutionists must believe all of these things by blind faith:

• Life came from nonlife . . . even though this contradicts the law of biogenesis.
• One kind of creature changed into another kind . . . even though that’s never been observed.
• Natural selection can create new genetic information . . . even though that’s never been observed. Natural selection works on already-existing genetic diversity.
• Various, extremely complex systems evolved multiple times each (e.g., powered flight supposedly evolved at least four separate times).
• Millions of years ago, life exploded on the scene in great diversity with few “ancestors” in the rock layers below (this is called the Cambrian explosion).
• Humans and great apes share a common ancestor . . . even though the number of differences between us and them keeps increasing with each new study!
• Soft tissue managed to last millions of years in the fossil record.

And that’s just some of the problems with evolutionary ideas! AiG’s Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley recently discussed the mathematical odds of evolution occurring, and it really highlights the faith that undergirds this belief system:

Everyone has faith: The question is who is your faith in?

Instead of starting with the words of scientists who weren’t there, don’t know everything, and frequently make mistakes, let’s start with the Word of the One who knows everything, who has always been there, and who never makes a mistake. He’s given us the true history of the universe in His Word (and science confirms the Bible!).

Everyone has faith: The question is who is your faith in? Is it a blind faith that lacks credulity or a faith in the Bible, which is confirmed by what we observe?

Well, this is one of the strangest claims I’ve heard leveled against myself and the Ark Encounter!

Dinosaurs are land animals, so two of every kind of dinosaur (60–80 kinds) would’ve been on the Ark.

At the Ark Encounter, we teach that dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark. We do this because the Genesis text is clear that two of every kind of land animal (seven pairs of some) went on Noah’s Ark. Dinosaurs are land animals, so two of every kind of dinosaur (60–80 kinds) would’ve been on the Ark (those not on the Ark drowned, and many became the fossils we find today). At the Ark Encounter, we feature several pairs of beautifully sculpted dinosaurs to answer the question of how dinosaurs could have fit—most weren’t really that large and even the large ones were once much smaller juveniles!

Well, a reporter recently made a video mocking me and the idea of dinosaurs at the Ark Encounter. But then she made a really bizarre claim—she connected dinosaurs on the Ark with, get this, the events of January 6 at the Capitol! I certainly didn’t expect that leap of logic! Well, it is not logic; it’s illogical.

You can see my response to this very strange claim in this video:

No, we’re not on about a political agenda. We’re on about the truth and authority of God’s Word and the gospel message, and we always will be! It’s changed hearts and minds that impact a culture.

This past weekend, we at Answers in Genesis heard the sad news that creation speaker and apologist Mike Riddle passed on to his heavenly home on July 31, 2026. Mike, who had a degree in mathematics and education, taught on creation apologetics for over 40 years, with his primary emphasis being to teach the teachers so even more people could be impacted by the message.

In his early life, Mike was a US Marine captain and a world-class athlete, competing in the multi-event decathlon. He also worked at Microsoft and Sprint in engineer training before serving as an adjunct lecturer with the Institute for Creation Research and then eventually joining our staff here at Answers in Genesis in 2005 as a speaker and curriculum developer. He eventually left AiG and founded his own ministry, Creation Training Initiative, which equips Christians to defend biblical truth.

After Mike’s passing, others in the creation ministry field shared what an impact his teaching and encouragement had on them. He certainly impacted many people, including many teachers who would go on to impact others, in four decades of ministry.

His love for teaching apologetics greatly impacted all those who heard.

He was always so enthusiastic and full of energy. His love for teaching apologetics greatly impacted all those who heard. Mike was also known for using hot sauce that most wouldn’t even dare to try! We will all certainly miss him on this earth. With his passing, I would like to challenge others who God may be calling to take up the mantle to spread the biblical apologetics messages that the world so needs to hear.

Please join with us in praying for his wife, Lesley, and his other family and friends as they grieve this loss.

Precious in the sight of Yahweh
Is the death of His holy ones. (Psalm 116:15)

It’s a biological reality that no child has two moms or two dads. Every child has both a mother and a father—to say otherwise is to deny science—to deny reality. And Them Before Us, a child rights organization, recently blazoned that truth on billboards in 19 locations across the US (and created quite the firestorm in the media!). Why did they do it?

Christians must get involved in defending children from the redefinition of family.

I’ve written about Them Before Us before, especially in relation to their Greater Than campaign, which seeks to overturn Obergefell (the 2015 decision that legalized gay “marriage” in the US) and other anti-family legislation on the grounds of a child’s right to both their mother and their father. You see, legalizing gay “marriage” (it is not marriage, as there’s only one marriage and that is the one God created and defined in Genesis 1–2) didn’t just redefine marriage—it redefined the family, and children are the unconsenting victims of changing the family unit because of adult desires. There is only one place marriage and, thus, the family have their origins—in Genesis.

I urge you to watch this interview between AiG’s Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley and Them Before Us founder and president Katy Faust. She equips you to understand why this issue is so vital to the protection of children, why Christians must get involved in defending children from the redefinition of family, and how to respond to the common objections to the biblical view of the family—one man and one woman for life:

Yes, God’s design is simple and it’s given to us in Genesis:

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)

Just a few weeks ago, we celebrated 10 years of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY. We held a three-day celebration in honor of the occasion, and guests loved it. But on Sunday morning, after our anniversary, a group of about 40 atheists gathered outside the Ark Encounter to protest—why, after 10 years, do they continue to protest us?

They continue to protest because they are in rebellion against God, so they hate the message of the Ark.

Well, as I explain in this video, it’s not really because they’re upset about us building a life-size Ark. After all, you don’t see them standing outside of Disney and protesting that attraction! I’m sure if we’d built the Ark just as an attraction that didn’t share the truth of God’s Word or the gospel, they’d have no more of a problem with the Ark Encounter than they do with Disney. And it’s not because of the supposed tax dollars they claim were used to build the Ark. No tax dollars were used to build the Ark, and yet, these atheists continue to lie about the tourism tax incentive. They continue to protest because they are in rebellion against God, so they hate the message of the Ark. And to them, the end justifies the means—so they will say whatever they want regardless of it being false.

At the Ark, we boldly proclaim the truth of God’s Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ, including the need for everyone to repent of their sin and trust in Christ for salvation. That’s really what they’re objecting to because they are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness, just as the Bible says (Romans 1:18).

I respond more fully to this atheist protest in this video for my YouTube channel:

Please join with us in praying that these men and women, made in the image of God with eternal souls, will repent and trust Christ before it’s too late.

The parasite Cyclospora is currently making hundreds of people across the United States sick and causing many to avoid buying lettuce at the grocery store! In a biblical worldview where we know that God created everything, including microscopic organisms, how do we explain pathogens like this one?

Well, we start with the big picture given to us in God’s Word: God created a perfect world that was marred by human sin. Everything was “very [exceedingly] good.” Now all of creation is groaning.

We know from Scripture that Cyclospora was not making people sick before the Fall. There were no nasty parasites in God’s original “very good” creation. And yet, we have them today, so what happened to turn “very good” creatures into disease-causing nightmares?

When we have questions about the past, we start with the eyewitness account of God’s Word.

The short answer is we don’t know for sure the biological mechanisms that turned parasites nasty. We do know there were at least some biological modifications at the time of the Fall (e.g., thorns and thistles and the serpent being cursed above all the cattle and beasts of the field), so it’s possible other creatures, including microscopic ones, were physically changed by God at the Fall to allow them to continue to survive in a fallen world.

It’s also possible that mutations (genetic mistakes) and genetic losses contributed or that creatures simply became parasitic with little to no adjustment (even evolutionists, who have to explain the origin of parasites, believe creatures could have become parasitic with few changes). More research is needed, but as always, when we have questions about the past, we start with the eyewitness account of God’s Word. (You can learn more about the origin of parasites in this article on our website).

Want to share the truth about Cyclospora with others? AiG’s director of research Dr. Georgia Purdom did a great job giving an answer in this short video for our YouTube channel:

It’s an objection we often hear: God is a cruel God to have wiped out potentially millions of people with a catastrophic global Flood. Some people will even claim God was committing mass genocide against the pre-Flood world, so He must be an immoral deity. Now what’s the foundational problem with this argument?

Well, here’s the big problem: Why is wiping out millions of people wrong? The answer I usually get to that question is “because of course it is!” And yes, nearly everyone would agree that you or I wiping out millions of people would be wrong, but that doesn’t explain why it’s wrong. Just saying something is wrong doesn’t make it wrong; what if I have a different opinion? Who gets to be right? You need an absolute authority to appeal to, but an atheist doesn’t have one.

Apart from the absolutes of the Bible, given to us by the Creator God, there is no foundation to say that murder is wrong.

Someone who rejects the truth of the Bible doesn’t have a consistent foundation on which to stand to say that killing anyone is wrong. After all, blue whales wipe out untold billions of helpless krill every single day, and no one bats an eyelash! Why? We intuitively know that a whale swallowing a krill is not the same thing as a human being killing another human being. But if we’re just animals, as the evolutionary worldview teaches, there is no real difference between us and krill and blue whales; we’re all just animals and accidents of evolution.

Apart from the absolutes of the Bible, given to us by the Creator God, there is no foundation to say that murder is wrong. In order to argue that God is unjust to kill people with the Flood, the skeptic must first assume the morality of the Bible . . . and then they’ve defeated their entire argument!

Now, of course, God was not cruel to judge people for their wickedness at the time of the Flood. AiG’s Dr. Tim Chaffey answers that objection further, among other objections, in this video:

Ultimately, atheists aren’t upset that God judged people at the time of the Flood for their sin (they claim they don’t believe God exists or that those pre-Flood people even existed!)—they’re upset that someday God will judge them for their sin. They don’t want to be accountable to God; they want to do whatever they want without consequences. But regardless of what they believe, they will someday stand before God, and He will judge them for their sin. If they have not repented, they will pay for their own sin in hell. But if they turn from their sin and trust in Christ’s sacrificial death on their behalf, they will be saved for all of eternity.

How arrogant of fallible, sinful humans to tell the eternal God what is just and unjust!

Have you trusted in Christ?

We were excited to learn recently that the story of Answers in Genesis, Miraculous!, which I wrote last year, was a finalist for the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association’s Christian Book Award® program.

We were notified that my book was a finalist in the Biography & Memoir category with a letter that said,

Dear Ken,

I am writing to extend my personal congratulations to you as a finalist in the 2026 Christian Book Award® program in the category of Biography & Memoir for your title:

  Miraculous! The Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis Story

This award program, now in its 48th year, is recognized as the top honor for literary excellence within the Christian publishing industry. The finalist designation recognizes your title as one of the best Christian books of the 2026 in its category.

It’s a story of God’s faithfulness and His miraculous provision over 50 years of ministry.

Miraculous! really is a special and unique book as it tells the story of my childhood; growing up in north Queensland; my parents and their stand on God’s Word and how they diligently taught me and my siblings the Bible; and how I came to be involved in creation ministry (I call it the “fire in my bones”) and started Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter. But it’s more than that. Really, it’s a story of God’s faithfulness and His miraculous provision over 50 years of ministry. It will have you giving thanks and glory to God for what He alone can do! There is also great teaching throughout, helping people understand how to step out in faith and to know God’s leading in one’s life.

(And if you’d like to hear the “other side” of the story, my wife, Mally, just published Home Fires, a wonderful book of wisdom and encouragement that will challenge you as she reflects on her life and 50 years of ministry alongside me. She also provides great practical teaching on marriage and raising children too. Don’t miss it!)

We’re excited that Miraculous! was a finalist in this award program, and if you haven’t already read it, I encourage you to order your copy today and be uplifted by what the Lord has done!

It’s the most unique Christmas play you’ll find anywhere!

Every year our K–12th grade, parent-partnership, biblical-worldview Christian school, Answers Academy, puts on a high-quality Christmas play in front of hundreds of people in the Answers Center at the Ark Encounter.

This play is not your run-of-the-mill Christmas pageant—it’s an apologetics-filled, biblical-worldview, gospel-centered Christmas program.

And this play is not your run-of-the-mill Christmas pageant—it’s an apologetics-filled, biblical-worldview, gospel-centered Christmas program that always connects Jesus with the Old Testament and what He came as the babe in the manger to do for sinful mankind. Written by our Answers Academy staff members, each year’s play focuses on a different person or theme connected with the Christmas account. And then we make these scripts available to you and your church, school, or co-op!

View Sample

The script we’re releasing this year, The Zealot’s Fight, focuses on a fictional character but addresses real issues at the time of Christ’s birth: how the Jewish people should react to the oppression of the Romans and what the Messiah would really come to do. It connects Old Testament prophecies with the birth, life, and death of Christ and highlights that Jesus didn’t come focused on throwing off human oppression and correcting every injustice—rather He came to save His people from their sins (and someday, in the new heavens and new earth, all oppression and injustice will be done away with forever).

I encourage you to check out The Zealot’s Fight or our other unique and powerful Christmas plays. They are great for churches, Christian schools, and other venues.

“Have you not read?”

When Jesus was asked a question about marriage, His answer began with, “Have you not read?” (Matthew 19:4–5). He pointed His listeners back to the authority of the Word of God—beginning in Genesis because next He quotes the text of Genesis 1:27 and 2:24! According to Jesus, Scripture has authority, and it’s the foundation for how we think about everything, including marriage.

And what about the Old Testament? Over and over we read, “Thus says the Lord,” or “The Word of the Lord came to,” or something similar. We’re told that the Old Testament is not just the words of men—it’s the Word of God. Again, the authority of the Word of God is emphasized.

So what do we make of pastors, like the ones in the video below, who claim God got it wrong or the Bible is just a book about God? Well, we take what they say, and we compare it against the authority of the Word of God! Rather than trusting fallible human beings, we start with God’s Word in every area.

Yes, Scripture has authority—Jesus said so!

The Answers in Genesis ministry wouldn’t be here without her, and yet few of our supporters have ever seen or spoken to her, let alone know the many sacrifices she’s made over 50 years of ministry. But you now have an opportunity to go “behind the scenes” and glean from the wisdom, experience, and dedication of my wife, Mally Ham, because she’s written a truly encouraging and challenging book, Home Fires: One Wife’s Call to Faithfulness, Sacrifice, and Joy in Ministry.

This book is more than just her story and the story of AiG from her perspective, it’s a book of wisdom for all of life’s seasons (marriage, parenting, grandparenting, suffering, and ministry), a challenge to always live with Jesus first, others second, yourself last, and an encouragement that what you do matters for now and for eternity.

We’ve heard from so many people who’ve read the book that it was so down-to-earth, so practical, and felt just like having a conversation with Mally.

We’ve heard from so many people who’ve read the book that it was so down-to-earth, so practical, and felt just like having a conversation with Mally. I know you’ll love it (and you’ll enjoy the special family photographs and funny family stories sprinkled throughout).

You can find Home Fires on our online store (and take advantage of our special Ark Encounter 10th anniversary sale of $10 off a $50 order of resources with code ARK10 at checkout).

Wow! That was fast! It only seems like a few years ago that I was asked for the first time how Noah could fit the animals on the ark. But that was in 1975 during my first-ever science class when I was a teacher in the public schools in Australia.

It only seems like a couple of years ago we decided to pursue building a life-size Noah’s Ark. But that was in 2004.

It only seems like yesterday when we opened the themed Ark Encounter attraction in Northern Kentucky. But that was 10 years ago on July 7 when it was officially opened to the public.

Yes, July 2026 is a great time of celebration for the 10-year anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter attraction.

Oh, there were battles and naysaying from Christians and non-Christians. We had a battle with the state of Kentucky and then-Governor Steve Beshear over tourism tax incentives, but the Lord enabled us to win that battle.

I had a number of Christians, including some Christian leaders, tell me we should have spent the money on proclaiming the gospel.

Well, the Ark Encounter, which teaches the gospel clearly through various exhibits, attracts many non-Christian visitors—they make up about 30% of its total visitors—and our extensive guest surveys reflect that an estimated 70,000+ people a year trust Christ for salvation as a result of their visit. I would call that a fantastic investment in people’s eternity!

A number of 2014–2016 articles questioned whether enough tourists would come, whether bonds would fail, whether taxpayers would be left holding debt, whether it would become an abandoned attraction. Various blogs and reviewers claimed the project would fail.

The most important impact has been the spiritual one, with so many each year becoming Christians after visiting the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world.

But 10 years later, millions have visited the Ark as well as AiG’s first attraction, the Creation Museum. Since the Creation Museum opened in 2007 and the Ark in 2016, around 16 million visitors have come to Kentucky to visit these world-class attractions. Many hotels have been built in the area, and having so many people visit has been a financial boon for tourism in Northern Kentucky. The impact on businesses in Northern Kentucky has been phenomenal.

But the most important impact has been the spiritual one, with so many each year becoming Christians after visiting the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world.

When we opened the Ark Encounter, a small group of atheists gathered outside the gates to protest the opening of a private facility, on private land, built by private funding! They had done the same when we opened the Creation Museum in 2007.

It’s a reminder of how intolerant such people are. They don’t want Christians having the ability to get the message of God’s Word and the gospel out publicly. They want to impose their anti-God religion of atheism on the culture.

A handful of atheists continue to protest the Ark most years in July—a small sad group who need our prayers. Over the years, we have reached out to them in various ways. They are so lost. But I’ve met a number of people who have told me they were atheists who mocked our ministry but that after watching some of our videos, visiting our attractions, or reading our books, the Lord opened their hearts to the truth, and they became on-fire Christians.

As we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the opening of the world’s leading Christian themed attraction, the Ark Encounter, I want to honor the late Patrick Marsh. God brought Patrick along to design the exhibits at the Creation Museum and then the Ark Encounter. Patrick had the God-given talents and experience to ensure the Ark and museum were very “Disneyesque” in quality.

There’s no doubt God brought Patrick to us to make these attractions world-class. And this year, we opened the new Welcome Center at the Ark. Patrick was working on the design of this center when the Lord took him to his heavenly home. Our designers honored Patrick in using his basic design for the construction of this fantastic addition to the Ark Encounter.

Also, we praise God for the Amish and Mennonite craftsmen who wanted to use their talents for this evangelistic project. A special thanks also to the late LeRoy Troyer, the architect the Lord raised up, who saw the Ark as fulfilling his life’s work and calling.

Thank you, Lord, for providing all the people you brought along to enable the vision for the Ark to become a reality. And we pray the spiritual impact of these attractions will only continue to grow so many more will know they will spend eternity with their Savior.

Congratulations to all involved in building the Ark Encounter.

Atheists and atheist groups are angry about a recent decision in Texas to introduce select Bible passages as required reading for students in public school classrooms. They claim this is bringing religion into the classroom and that’s unconstitutional. But is religion already in the classroom?

Yes! Secular is not neutral! One is either for Christ or against him. Atheism, grounded in naturalism (materialism—no supernatural), is the prevailing religion of our day, and it’s taught as fact in school classrooms across the United States. I explain more in this recent video I did for my YouTube channel on this new Texas decision:

Religion is already in the classroom, and the only reason atheists don’t want the Bible in the classroom is that they want their religion of atheism to be taught exclusively!

Yes, religion is already in the classroom, and the only reason atheists don’t want the Bible in the classroom is that they want their religion of atheism to be taught exclusively! And why? Because ultimately, they hate God and the Bible and want to define truth for themselves—they want to be their own god (Genesis 3:5). The Bible is offensive because it tells us we are not God, we don’t get to determine truth for ourselves, and we are sinners who cannot save ourselves (only Jesus can save us). Our sin nature hates that message, but it’s the message every single person needs to hear!

We’re in the middle of VBS season here in America, and thousands of churches are moving children from anxiety to peace through Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23 (our powerful 2026 Answers VBS). But two churches were doing something a little different—teaching over 1,000 children through Spy University that there is one true God who created them and offers salvation to them. Yes, those churches were the test churches for our 2027 VBS, Spy U: Uncovering Counterfeits, Discovering the One True God. And it’s going to be another fantastic and powerful VBS.

I’ll tell you more about Spy U in a moment, but first, here’s just some of the feedback we’re receiving for Emerald Crossing:

• We are praising God for an amazing week, 160 kids, 110 volunteers, 20 salvations, hundreds raised for our missions. Glory to God, he is so faithful, our loving Shepherd.
• Thank you for Emerald Crossing VBS. Our team loved it. We’ve done Answers VBS for the last six years, but this one was truly special. The comment I kept hearing was how much the teachers and kids appreciated having one passage to memorize and work through. It gave the entire VBS a great continuity as the kids knew what to expect each day. Plus they were proud to say they had memorized a whole chapter of the Bible.
• I’ve directed VBS in three states and over 20 years. Used [other curriculum] and landed with AiG eight years ago and haven’t looked back. By far the best Bible curriculum, love the science, drama, and all the extras.
• We switched to AiG a few years ago because the biblical content is so relevant to what our kids need in this day and time. We love how it reaches what the Bible says versus what the world says. Our favorite so far has been Jungle Journey, Emerald Crossing was awesome too!
• I love how thorough, biblical, and intentional all aspects of the curriculum are.
• We love Answers curriculum because it is theologically sound, more affordable, and has many features other curriculums don’t provide. We have been very please[d] the past two years!
• Answers doesn’t shy away from hard biblical truth and teaches it so well to the kids!

We’re thrilled Emerald Crossing is having such an impact.

Praise the Lord! We’re thrilled Emerald Crossing is having such an impact.

So what’s planned for 2027? Well, we’re using a fun spy adventure theme to teach kids that there are many counterfeit views of gods but only one true God.

Enjoy these photos from our test churches:

Kids will use their detective skills to find out that:

• God is unique because he is the only true God—the Creator God. They’ll uncover counterfeit views of gods and discover the God of the Bible.
• God is unique because he is one God in three persons. They’ll be on the lookout throughout the Scriptures for those persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• God is unique because he himself came to earth to rescue us. Kids will be challenged to admit, believe, and forever receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.
• God is unique and beyond description! Kids will crack codes to track down some of his attributes.
• God is unique because he wants to have a personal relationship with us. Kids will learn their mission—to keep God as their first love.

We always feature apologetics content to equip kids to defend the faith and have answers to today’s questions.

As always, Answers VBS features deep lessons that really get kids into God’s Word and engage with the issues and ideas of our day, fun music and memory verse songs, games, snacks, crafts, a daily drama, and science experiments.

Something that is unique to Answers VBS is that we always feature apologetics content to equip kids to defend the faith and have answers to today’s questions. At Spy U, they’ll discover:

• There’s only one true God. All others are counterfeits.
• The Trinity is a reality but also a mystery.
• The biggest difference between Christianity and other religions is who Jesus is.
• God’s character is like no other.
• Unlike other religions, our God is about relationship. He is loving and personal.

The test churches loved Spy U, and we’re excited for hundreds of thousands of children next year to be impacted by this outreach. Spy U is now available for preorder at the lowest price it will be offered—25% off! Preorder a kit now to receive this special discount, along with a free themed tumbler and early access to the music and leader guides as soon as they’re released.

I consider Answers VBS the most powerful VBS in the world. We hear from many Christian leaders that they’ve never seen so many trust Christ for salvation until using our VBS. And so many leaders tell us once they have used an AiG VBS, they won’t go back to any other program.
