God’s creation just continues to astound and amaze! But that shouldn’t be surprising.

Under your feet is a whole hidden world. While you might see a few mushrooms—the fruiting bodies of fungi—on a walk through the woods, what you can’t see is the vast underground network connecting the plant community. These networks are a vital part of the health of any ecosystem as they facilitate the exchange of nutrients (like phosphorus and nitrogen) and carbon to and from plants. It’s a complex arrangement that we don’t fully understand and that even involves the plants and fungi bargaining with each other. And it’s bigger than we imagined.

These networks are so vast that if you stretched the fungi end-to-end, they would span roughly 10% of the width of the Milky Way, a distance of 68 quadrillion miles.

A new study created a visual map of the density of these arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal networks based on over 16,000 soil core samples from around the world. Surprisingly, they found these networks were densest in undisturbed grasslands (a rapidly vanishing ecosystem), particularly high-altitude or flooded grasslands (like the Florida Everglades). These networks are so vast that if you stretched the fungi end-to-end, they would span roughly 10% of the width of the Milky Way, a distance of 68 quadrillion miles (if that number seems too big to grasp, that’s because it is—“that’s nearly a billion times the distance of Earth to the sun”!). We can’t comprehend that.

Because of the way these networks exchange nutrients and carbon with plants, they “gobble up vast amounts of carbon.”

One estimate found they take in around 4.3 billion tons (3.9 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide equivalent each year, representing roughly 11% of global fossil fuel emissions in 2021.

This seems important to the modern conversation about climate change, doesn’t it? It’s another reminder of how complex earth is, and how much we don’t know (and we don’t know what we don’t know!).

Even though these fungi are essential to Earth’s health, it wasn’t known how they were distributed around the world. “That’s like saying we know every day 100 million cars move across Earth but we have no idea what road network facilitates that.”

Maybe the reason climate predictions continue to be wrong is: 1) there’s so much we don’t know that isn’t taken into account in models and 2) this climate was designed by God to work for the flourishing of life!

This kind of research is important for understanding more about God’s creation and how we can better steward land (especially agricultural land) to increase these vital fungal networks. But it’s also an incredible reminder of the creativity and wisdom of our God and how interconnected he’s made this world. It’s truly a masterpiece of design.

And don’t forget God’s promise to Noah:

While all the days of the earth remain,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22)

God created the earth to be extremely resilient—even in a fallen world.

Happy Father’s Day!

I hope you are having a wonderful time today celebrating the joy of being a dad.

No matter what else the Lord has called you to as a man, you are called to lead your family first. Do you take that seriously?

You know, fathers carry a heavy responsibility from the Lord: the calling to lead their families and to disciple their children. It’s a joyous responsibility, but it’s one that needs to be taken very seriously. No matter what else the Lord has called you to as a man, you are called to lead your family first. Do you take that seriously? Really stop and take a moment to think about the spiritual “climate” in your home and what you are doing on a daily basis to ensure your family is being led in Christ as they should be.

If you’re looking for some encouragement in leading your family or you don’t know where to start, here are three suggestions I have for you:

1. Read the Bible with your children every day. Make opening the Scriptures together a priority. This doesn’t have to take long or be elaborate. Simply open God’s Word, read a passage, and discuss it (and if you’re not sure where to start with discussing Scripture, consider asking a simple series of questions such as “Where is God in this passage?,” “Where is man in this passage?,” and “What should we do in light of what God says here?”). Another option is to choose a biblically sound devotional or apologetic book to read together (feel free to mix it up, but the actual Scriptures should always be the focus). Answers in Genesis has a big range of such apologetic books for all ages available on our webstore, AnswersBookstore.com.
2. Prioritize church attendance. I’ve never been able to attend our home church as consistently as others—I’ve been gone many weekends for speaking engagements for 50 years of my life! But when I was away during those years when we had young children at home, my wife, Mally, always made sure the family went to church, explaining to the kids that since Dad was away, she would step into that role and take them. For the weekends I was home, I always prioritized taking them to church. I wanted the kids to see how important it is that we are in fellowship with other Christians, learning from God’s Word.
3. Serve together. My mum drilled into me: “God first. Others second. Yourself last.” Do you lead your family that way? And do they see it in the way you serve them and others? We’re naturally born selfish, thinking of ourselves first, so serving together as a family is a great way to cultivate selflessness and a heart that puts Jesus and others first. Look for ways to serve your church or your community together.

Whatever stage of fatherhood you are in, I pray you take your responsibility both seriously and joyfully. God has given you a high calling, and it’s a privilege to get to serve him and your family in this way—as a father, your role is vital to the spiritual health of your family, your church, and, by extension, your community and nation.

Happy Father’s Day!

I’m excited for two upcoming events we’re calling Launching Truth, featuring an evening with me and my friend, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore. One event is already sold out (June 27 in Grand Rapids, MI), and the other (June 26, 2026, in Shipshewana, IN) is nearly full too—so don’t miss your opportunity to come to this free event in Shipshewana!

It’s going to be a wonderful evening of encouraging, equipping, and challenging you regarding God’s Word.

Together, Captain Wilmore and I will be powerfully showing how truth launches from the foundation of Genesis 1–11 (the foundation of everything) and that we must stand boldly on truth without compromise. It’s going to be a wonderful evening of encouraging, equipping, and challenging you regarding God’s Word.

This event is totally free, but registration is required. You can save your spot before they’re gone on our events page.

And if you still want to meet Captain Wilmore or me but aren’t near Shipshewana, make plans to come to the Ark Encounter on July 11, 2026, for our Astronaut Encounter 2. This event was incredible last year, and we’re excited to welcome back Captain Wilmore, along with astronauts Colonel Jeffrey Williams and General Charlie Duke (who walked on the moon!). Ray Comfort from Living Waters (yes, Ray will be live at this event) will also be speaking, and astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner will be doing sun spotting outside (weather permitting).

Don’t miss out on this unique event! Register today.

“Noah could never have fit the animals on the ark!”

“Noah couldn’t have fed and cared for all those animals for a year!”

“How could penguins get to the ark from Antarctica?”

These are the kinds of accusations against the truth of God’s Word that I’ve heard over and over through the years. Are they valid objections?

Well, I think you already know my answer to that—no, they aren’t! Absolutely, Noah could’ve fit the land animal kinds (including the dinosaur kinds) on the ark and fed and cared for them. We powerfully show how he could have done it in the world-class exhibits at the life-size Noah’s Ark at the Ark Encounter.

It all shows that, yes, Noah could’ve done it just like the Bible says.

I constantly hear people say that seeing the Ark and three decks of exhibits in person really brings the account of Noah to life through the little details like the Living Quarters, the blacksmith and woodworking shops, and the various animal cages with labor-saving devices built in. It all shows that, yes, Noah could’ve done it just like the Bible says. (I urge you to plan a visit today at ArkEncounter.com).

Our manager of content at the attractions, Dr. Tim Chaffey, recently answered five lies about Noah’s ark for our YouTube channel. I encourage you to watch it—you’ll be encouraged that there are answers to the common objections of our day.

Yes, there really was a worldwide flood, Noah and his family really did build an ark, and the animals really did survive the flood. The Bible’s history is true.

If your definition of morality is not rooted in the authority of Scripture, ultimately anything goes. And the very progressive denomination PCUSA is currently highlighting this truth in full color as the church will soon vote on a “monogamy requirement” for pastors that is “facing sharp internal backlash.” Yes, leaders within the denomination are upset that the denomination might require its pastors to have only one sexual partner at a time because such a rule would “regulate the private lives and relational structures of individuals in ways that risk harm rather than healing.”

But ultimately, there is no reason for only two in marriage, except that marriage itself comes from the Bible. Even though they use other arguments, they really know marriage is for only two! Oh, and saying “only two” means that one is taking that part of the Bible literally.

Ironically, according to reports, the proposed rule is not because the denomination—which “has allowed for the ordination of openly gay clergy since 2011”—is clinging to a shred of biblical truth. No, it’s because “the practice of polyamory or polygamy can create ‘power imbalances, emotional harm, and spiritual confusion,’ particularly for women, children and historically marginalized persons.”

So some leaders think polyamory and polygamy can be damaging—but others think that ruling against these practices is what is damaging:

In its official response, the Advocacy Committee for Women and Gender Justice claimed that requiring pastors to be monogamous attempts to “regulate the private lives and relational structures of individuals in ways that risk harm rather than healing.” The committee further argued that a monogamy mandate could “unintentionally reinforce systems of shame, silence, and spiritual coercion.”

The Advocacy Committee on LGBTQIA+ Equity also argued that the monogamy rule reinforced White privilege. The group claimed the mandate imposes “a narrow, culturally specific understanding of family” that “privileges a dominant cultural framework over the lived realities of communities of color and global Christians.”

Another activist group within the denomination said such a rule is because of

narrow and culturally bound definitions of relationships that have historically been used to exclude, police, and harm queer bodies and lives.

This kind of moral relativism is what will happen to every denomination that abandons God’s Word as the authority and embraces man’s word instead.

And so the debate continues, because morality for the PCUSA denomination is not based on the unchanging doctrines of Scripture. Rather, it’s based on man’s interpretation of “harm” and a woke worldview that elevates every desire of the supposedly “oppressed” as good and worth celebrating. It’s a mess of opinion because there is no ultimate authority!

And this kind of moral relativism is what will happen to every denomination that abandons God’s Word as the authority and embraces man’s word instead. If God’s Word is not the authority, ultimately anything goes because morality becomes subjective and arbitrary based on human opinion (man’s word).

It’s the same battle that’s been raging for 6,000 years. Satan undermined the authority of God’s words and got Eve to doubt what God had said:

Indeed, has God said . . . ? (Genesis 3:1)

And then he tempted her to be her own god:

You will be like God. (Genesis 3:5)

We face the same temptation today (it’s the same attack, just manifested in a different way in our modern era): Will we start with God’s perfect, authoritative Word or will we ignore God’s Word and start with our own fallible human wisdom?

Proverbs has a warning for those who ignore God’s Word:

There is a way which seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

Have you ever heard the claim that the average person eats a credit card’s worth of plastic every single week? Well, turns out that popular statistic, based on the high-end numbers of a 2019 study, is probably wildly wrong because scientists have overlooked a “surprising source” of sample contamination that’s “led to wildly exaggerated results”: standard plastic gloves. But what does this have to do with creation?

According to a popular science article,

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A University of Michigan study found that common nitrile and latex gloves release tiny particles called stearates, which closely resemble microplastics and can contaminate samples during testing. In some cases, this led to wildly exaggerated results, forcing researchers to track down the unexpected culprit.

Researchers will now need to revisit old datasets, using a new technique to separate out contamination from the real microplastics, to find the true quantity of microplastics. Now for the creation connection!

The grad student who made a surprising discovery using testable, observable, and repeatable science (what we call observational science) showed how the microplastics research field was getting it completely wrong. Her new research, based on experimentation in the present, calls into question much of the previous research done on this particular topic. So what happens when scientists are wrong about something they can’t test?

The only way to ensure you have the right worldview for interpreting the evidence is to start with a perfect eyewitness account.

When it comes to answering questions about the past, we can’t do direct experiments in the same way because we’re dealing with history—it’s gone—all we have is the present. This historical science is not directly testable, observable, or repeatable (like the origins issue as that concerns the past). Rather, it’s interpretations of the evidence in the present, trying to make sense of what happened in the past. And interpretation requires a worldview (yes, everyone has a worldview!).

The only way to ensure you have the right worldview for interpreting the evidence is to start with a perfect eyewitness account. And the only perfect eyewitness account is found in God’s Word.

If we want to be sure we have the right framework for interpreting the evidence and we aren’t missing anything that would totally change our interpretations of the present—like a global flood, a young earth, or a perfect creation marred by sin—we must start with Scripture!

Oh—and yes, evolutionists have had a massive number of wrong interpretations, and will continue to do so, as their worldview is based on fallible man’s word.

This year is one for the books for three reasons—and wait till you learn what the third one is!

1. We all know that America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year, which was, in essence, the birth of the US.
2. It’s also a celebration year for AiG, as it’s the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter. We have some special events happening at the Ark on July 9, 10, and 11 to commemorate this special time (more on that later).
3. It’s also a celebration of what I call a miracle! Well, I consider it a miracle! Those of you who know my sweetheart wife, Mally, will understand why I said it’s a miracle when you hear that . . . she wrote a book! Mally wrote a book? Yes, she did!

Mally is very shy and always likes to stay behind the scenes. She doesn’t want to be the focus of attention. And she’s not a writer or a speaker. Yet she wrote a book—a powerful book. Let me tell you some of the background.

When we were visiting the facilities of Master Books (the publisher of all my books) in Arkansas last year, their top executive, Randy, approached Mally with an idea. He said he thought it would be fantastic if Mally could write a book about her life as a wife, mother, and grandmother, being married to Ken Ham, and how she coped and has always supported me in this ministry. He thought she would have some great advice for wives in ministry and for women in regard to family and marriage. After all, she had five children and now has eighteen grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

When I heard this, I thought, “There is no way he is going to get her to do this.” I can still see the horrified look on Mally’s face. She immediately dismissed it as impossible. When Randy asked her, he and some other staff from the publishing company had taken us to lunch at a quaint restaurant. As we were leaving, Mally saw one of the items for sale at the restaurant and commented on how much she liked it. It was a beautifully finished log seat with the words: “An old bear lives here with his honey.”

Neither of us thought any more about the seat or the book. Then sometime later, we were called by a shipping company who said they were delivering a seat. We were perplexed, “We didn’t order any seat.” After the truck delivered this very large package, we opened it and to our surprise found it was the seat Mally had made a passing comment about in Arkansas.

I then realized, “Oh, this is a bribe to get Mally to write this book they want!”

Mally said something like, “They can bribe all they want, but I can’t write a book.” She kept talking about them sending this seat and how she was not a writer, so how could she write a book?

Preorder Now

So I started putting some pressure—gentle and persistent pressure—on her. After all, I knew it would take a miracle, really, to get her to do this. After a lot of persuading and conscripting our daughters to also coax her, we came up with an idea. Master Books would send a list of questions they would like her to answer in the book. Mally would sit with two of our daughters, and I would have one of our best writers, who has written many of my radio scripts and articles for me and has edited a number of my books, sit with her while she tells her life’s story.

As I read the manuscript and helped Mally add in things she wanted to say, I was amazed at how special this book is.

And so, while protesting right up until the day, she told her story to our writer, Avery. Avery recorded everything and wrote Home Fires, keeping Mally’s words. What a powerful book. It’s emotional and convicting. As I read the manuscript and helped Mally add in things she wanted to say, I was amazed at how special this book is. When Heidi St. John—podcaster, author, speaker, and a very special friend of ours—heard about the book, she offered to write the foreword! She knows Mally enough to know this book would be such a unique and important one. After she read the book, she sent the foreword. Here is just an excerpt from it:

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 this introduction, I have a feeling you will come to see her, like Ken does, as the “real” VIP at Answers in Genesis. It is a profound honor to introduce this book, not merely as a chronicle of one of the most influential ministries of our time, but as a heartfelt invitation into the beautiful, faithful partnership between Mally and her beloved “Kenny Darling,” the man God used to launch 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 you are about to read, 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.

When the publisher read the manuscript, Randy sent me this message:

I don’t want to scare her but I think this book will reach more people than she could ever imagine. . . . When I saw you walking together in the warehouse when you visited the press . . . I was so impressed with the word legacy. When people read this, they are going to want more of Mally. And honestly, this next generation needs to hear what she is saying. It’s counterculture but in a great way. She has the scars but also the proof. I see this project as a real testimony to that.

And then he said, “I don’t know if Mally would be willing to do any publicity if it was alongside you. . . . I do think you and her together talking about the book would be a great interview.”

I thought, “Okay, I know what it took to get her to have this book written . . . to get her to do an interview? That would take more pressure than President Trump put on Iran!” So stay tuned for what happens regarding this request!

I wanted to let you read a very short excerpt from one of the 12 chapters of the book as it does pertain to our 10th Ark anniversary year:

This is actually happening! God enabled us to do this!

“What’s your favorite exhibit at the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter?” I’ve been asked this question over the years and my answer is, well, all of them! I remember standing beside Kenny when the museum—his dream since the 1980’s when he stood on a little piece of property in Queensland, Australia and prayed for a creation museum— finally opened in 2007 in Kentucky. Certainly, we could never have dreamed in the 1980’s how God would answer that prayer, but he did in his way and in his timing. When the Creation Museum opened, I had to pinch myself in a way as I thought, “this is actually happening! God enabled us to do this!” To this day, every time I go to the Creation Museum or the Ark Encounter, I think, “Wow. Look what God did.” I truly get amazed every time at how big our God is and how blessed I am to be a part of a major ministry impacting tens of millions of people each year.

When the Ark Encounter opened in 2016, I had the same thoughts as I had when the Creation Museum opened. It’s so hard to believe God would use Kenny and Mally Ham from Australia for such an important and impactful ministry. I am truly in awe of what God has done and feel so inadequate for what God has used us for.

It still amazes me to this day how God brought these two Christian themed attractions about and how he’s using them to impact families and individuals from around the world. So, I like all the exhibits because of their impact and how each exhibit impacts people differently. But I especially love The Ham Family Legacy Exhibit in the Legacy Hall lobby area at the Creation Museum.

This exhibit features Kenny’s Dad’s Bible, a little Noah’s ark his Dad made for him, and a bit of history regarding the Ham family. The teaching in the exhibit really challenges people to pass on a spiritual legacy to coming generations. Whenever I see it, I am reminded of the impact Kenny and his parents had on me spiritually, concerning understanding and standing on the authority of God’s Word. Kenny’s spiritual leadership has contributed greatly to my own spiritual growth. I have so loved his leadership in our marriage and family. And if you talk to our children and grandchildren, you will quickly discern how Kenny’s spiritual leadership has impacted them as they boldly and uncompromisingly stand on God’s Word.

I hope that thought challenges you to consider what kind of legacy you are leaving. The most important legacy is spiritual!

So this year, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the nation, we also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the opening of the leading Christian themed attraction in the world—the Ark Encounter. And as we have stated before, our extensive guest surveys show that around 70,000 people a year become Christians as a result of visiting the Ark and 30,000 per year at the Creation Museum.

To celebrate this 10th anniversary year, we are hosting a number of special events at the Ark on July 9, 10, and 11. On July 9, I, along with Steve Green (president of Hobby Lobby), will give presentations. On July 10, Ray Comfort will join me to speak, and there will be a special dessert people can register for to meet Ray Comfort and myself. Also on July 11, we will have another Astronaut Encounter with three astronauts, along with myself and Ray Comfort. That evening, we’re hosting a special dinner (limited tickets available) with the three astronauts. For detailed information, go to ArkEncounter.com/anniversary.

Also, to celebrate this year’s 10th anniversary and help continue the impact of AiG’s various outreaches like the Ark Encounter, I ask you to prayerfully consider a generous gift today. You may give online at AnswersDonate.com.

Your gift of any size is a great blessing! Thanks for being part of our Answers in Genesis family and for all you do to help us reach so many people each year with God’s Word and the saving gospel.

What exactly is a swear word, and why does it matter?

God cares about our speech—there are many verses in the Bible dedicated to our mouths and what comes out of them (which ultimately is a reflection of what comes out of our hearts). For example:

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for building up what is needed, so that it will give grace to those who hear. (Ephesians 4:29)

Let your words always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should answer each person. (Colossians 4:6)

And the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our existence, and is set on fire by hell. (James 3:6)

It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man. (Matthew 15:11)

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. (Ephesians 5:4 ESV)

And there are many more!

So how should Christians build a biblical worldview regarding their words and everyday speech? Well, I recently shared my thoughts and some Scripture that directly applies to this issue in a YouTube video for my channel. You can watch that below (and be sure to subscribe to catch my other videos):

Christians must have a biblical worldview in all areas and make sure we’re never just absorbing thought or speech patterns from the godless culture around us.

Yes, Christians must have a biblical worldview in all areas and make sure we’re never just absorbing thought or speech patterns from the godless culture around us.

By the way, I have many more interesting videos in the pipeline that will be added to my YouTube channel, so make sure you subscribe.

If it walks like a heron and eats like a heron and sounds like a heron . . . it’s a dinosaur in disguise! Now that’s weird. Well, that’s the basic logic of a newly revealed “dinosaur” species, Kank australis (of course, I’m exaggerating a bit—they don’t know what this creature sounded like, but you get the point!).

The popular headline announcing this find declares, “Heron-Like, Fish-Eating Dinosaur from 70 Million Years Ago Discovered in Argentina.” What exactly does “heron-like” mean? According to the article, it means,

The cervical vertebrae of Kank show special structures for muscle attachment and the protection of neck blood vessels—features particularly important in modern birds with complex neck movements, such as herons. . . .

Their elongated snouts, numerous teeth and long, flexible necks suggest adaptations for fishing, similar to modern herons.

“Heron-like” sounds like it’s, well, like a heron! But in the evolutionary worldview, birds are dinosaurs, so this creature gets introduced to the world as a new dinosaur species, instead of as a new variety of heron-like bird.

This find highlights the role evolutionary assumptions play in interpreting the past. The researchers found a small assemblage of fossil bones—a neck vertebra, a claw, and some teeth (they were all found in the same area and it’s assumed they belong together)—and then they used their evolutionary worldview (belief) to assign a date (70 million years) and a classification (a type of dinosaur). But just because a bird has teeth doesn't make it a dinosaur—we know that at least some ancient birds had teeth, including Archaeopteryx and Microraptor. Because of their evolutionary assumptions, they don’t see birdlike features and assume bird, they see birdlike features and assume dinosaur. It’s all about worldview! It’s ridiculous.

In a biblical worldview, when we see bird features in a fossil, we assume that the creature was probably a bird!

In a biblical worldview, when we see bird features in a fossil, we assume that the creature was probably a bird! God created the various bird kinds on day five but the land creature kinds—including dinosaurs—on day six of creation week, and he made life to reproduce according to its kind, so one kind (like a dinosaur) won’t turn into another kind (like a bird). Rather, birds are birds and dinosaurs are dinosaurs!

When you see headlines declaring a “birdlike” dinosaur has been discovered, go past the headline and take a look at what was actually discovered. Most likely, that “birdlike” dinosaur was probably a bird! Bottom line, they found a fossil bird!

We’re celebrating 10 years at the Ark Encounter, and we want you to join us for this special celebration!

Our careful research shows around 70,000 people come to know Christ every year after visiting the Ark!

It’s hard to believe it’s really been 10 years since the Ark Encounter opened in Williamstown, KY. In the decade since our ribbon cutting, we’ve welcomed millions of guests, upgraded and added new exhibits, expanded the attraction in various ways—including adding a 2,500-seat auditorium, growing the zoo, adding a world-class playground, unique carousel, VR experience, and stunning Welcome Center. Those millions of guests have all heard the gospel message and been encouraged to trust God’s Word, from the very first verse—and our careful research shows around 70,000 people come to know Christ every year after visiting the Ark! Praise the Lord!

We want you to join us for our special 10th anniversary celebration of all that the Lord has done, July 9–10, 2026. Hear from myself, Steve Green of Hobby Lobby, and Ray Comfort of Living Waters, along with worship from our resident artists, TrueSong. Registration also includes a 3-day pass to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum so you can enjoy all of the new updates and expansions at both attractions.

And we encourage you to consider staying until July 11 for our Astronaut Encounter 2. This event was so much fun last year—guests were buzzing with excitement as they got to meet and hear from three real astronauts: Captain Barry Wilmore, Colonel Jeff Williams, and General Charlie Duke. You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity.

We hope to see you this July for our special anniversary celebration and Astronaut Encounter 2. Visit our events page for more details and to register.

Over the years, I’ve heard atheists claim over and over that young-earth creationists are “science deniers” who believe in a flat earth. And I recently heard this kind of claim again—but this time it wasn’t from an atheist. The claim was from the well-known Christian theologian and apologist William Lane Craig, who denies a literal Genesis, instead believing in evolution and millions of years.

Yes, he really compared believing what the Bible clearly teaches about Genesis to believing in a flat earth (something the Bible doesn’t teach and that denies observational science). But William Lane Craig has a problem—he doesn’t really understand science! And he refuses to take God at his Word in Genesis.

I explain what I mean by this in my response to Willian Lane Craig’s claims in this video:

It’s compromise on the truth of Scripture, and this compromise has major problems.

Yes, sadly, William Lane Craig has been impacted by the religion of naturalism (which is atheism), and he’s added that into the Bible. It’s compromise on the truth of Scripture, and this compromise has major problems (such as putting death and suffering before man’s sin—a direct contradiction of Scripture).

Instead of trusting the words of men who don’t know everything, weren’t there, and often make mistakes, we must start with the Word of the God who knows everything, who has always been there, and who has never made a mistake. William Lane Craig needs to do that!

Animal migration and navigation remain a great mystery, despite decades of scientists trying to figure out how animals from monarch butterflies to arctic terns to green sea turtles to blue whales successfully navigate hundreds of miles from breeding grounds to feeding grounds—often without ever having been there. Well, scientists think they may have figured out part of what helps one bird, the pigeon, navigate: its liver.

Pigeons are renowned for their navigational abilities. A well-trained homing pigeon can successfully navigate hundreds of miles, even if it was released somewhere it’s never been before (this is why they were used during both World Wars to deliver messages). But how do they do it? Scientists believe it has something to do with the position of the sun and the earth’s magnetic field, but the details have remained elusive.

A new study looking for magnetic signals in pigeons found a “strong signal” in the birds’ livers:

Specialized immune cells in the pigeon’s liver break down red blood cells and store iron. When scientists temporarily stripped pigeons of those immune cells and let them fly, the birds “just couldn’t find their way.” . . . That suggested the iron-rich liver cells might play a role in their sense of direction.

The birds’ magnetic compasses only got scrambled on overcast days. That’s because they also use the sun as a navigational guide. . . .

The immune cells are located near nerve fibers in the liver. That might be how they transmit their “magnetic sense” to the brain “and help the pigeons to navigate.”

The scientists think this could be true of other species and that “the birds could use different techniques to sense magnetic fields depending on the task, be it traveling long distances or finding a specific destination.” In other words, solving the puzzle of animal navigation continues to be very complicated! I doubt man will ever work out how it all happens.

Really, it’s just another example of the complexity of God’s creation.

Really, it’s just another example of the complexity of God’s creation. Pigeons may seem like commonplace birds, but they have extraordinary abilities we can’t fully understand even after decades and decades of dedicated research.

Yet with all this complexity, the majority of scientists still continue to give the random, chance process of evolution the credit for designing it all. Even something like pigeon livers should cause these scientists to be in awe of God’s creativity and praise him for what he’s made.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

Yes, it’s obvious from creation that God is the Creator of it all!

This brand-new resource from Answers in Genesis is so much more than a fun and challenging woodworking project—it’s a discipleship opportunity for fathers and their children. What do I mean by this?

We’ve partnered with an Australian businessman to produce a beautiful model kit of Noah’s ark (based on the Ark Encounter’s design) made from authentic Australian hoop pine. Available in three different sizes from “small” (over two feet long and 506 pieces) to large (over four feet long and 760 pieces!), this scale model is extremely detailed and comes apart to show off the three decks. Once complete, it makes a great display for your home or for churches, or it can be used as a conversation starter for outreach.

It’s a great opportunity to have spiritual conversations and to impart apologetics to your children.

What I’d love to see families do with this ark model is use it as a discipleship opportunity. As you spend time together building this model, I envision fathers talking to their children about the reality of the flood, discussing how Noah was able to fit the animals on board, how he could have fed and cared for them, or what was going on outside the ark, and pointing them toward the one door, Jesus, who saves us from our sins today. It’s a great opportunity to have spiritual conversations and to impart apologetics to your children. And it creates a great witnessing opportunity for when people visit.

These ark models are now available on our website or at the attractions (please note: the medium and large models ship from Australia, so you’ll have to allow time for delivery). Order one today at AnswersBookstore.com so you can build your own ark.

What are your travel plans for this summer? For many Americans—especially with the 250th anniversary of America taking place this year—summer plans include a road trip and seeing some of America’s greatest sights. (How about the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world?) I recently shared my tips for visiting the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter on your road trip, and today I want to share my suggestions for touring an evolutionary natural history museum.

Obviously, a secular museum is probably going to present evolution and millions of years as fact and may have other scientifically or biblically problematic content. So how do you and your family tour these museums, enjoying the artifacts, displays, and more, without absorbing evolutionary ideas? Here are my six tips:

1. Learn the 7 C’s of History before you go. At the Creation Museum, we summarize the foundational history God has given us in his Word (Genesis 1–11, the foundation for everything) in the 7 C’s of History. It’s an easy way of remembering this foundational history and the gospel chronologically. When you have the framework of Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation in your mind, it makes it easier to properly interpret museum exhibits. And it’s a great teaching tool for kids. You can walk up to an exhibit and ask, “Which C of History does this fit into?” and have some great discussions, teaching them to interpret everything through the lens of Scripture.

   You can learn more about the 7 C’s of History in this blog post.

2. Discuss the importance of worldview and the two kinds of science. Science is not some kind of neutral endeavor (one is either for or against Christ) where the evidence speaks for itself. Everyone (including every scientist) has a worldview, and they use that worldview to interpret the evidence we have in the present. That’s why it’s important to understand the difference between observational science and historical science.

   Observational science is directly testable, observable, and repeatable (think technology and medical innovations).

   Historical science, though, deals with the past. We only have access to the present.

   The worldview you bring to the evidence in the present will determine your interpretation.

   Fossils, rock layers, etc. exist in the present, and we can’t directly test, observe, or repeat the past. We didn’t see how they were formed. So the worldview you bring to the evidence in the present will determine your interpretation.

   It’s not a battle of science vs. the Bible—it’s really this: Will we start with God’s Word or man’s word?

3. Always separate the fact from the interpretation. Museum cases often include the facts (e.g., the fossils), and then the signage and illustrations add the interpretation! Learn to separate what was actually found from the evolutionary interpretation applied to the evidence. For example, fossils rarely contain soft tissues so it’s difficult to reconstruct what that creature looked like when it was alive. Because evolutionists believe life evolved from primitive to complex, they often illustrate life in the lower rock layers as very primitive looking. Remember that the illustration is not what they found—what they found was a fossil (or bits of a fossil). The illustration is merely an evolutionary worldview applied to the evidence.

4. Understand the order in the fossil record. Some museums will present life as a progression from simple to complex through the fossil record. Understanding that the fossil record does not represent eons of time and different eras of life but, rather, different stages of the flood as the waters rose (first burying the deep ocean and later the continents) is important for properly interpreting the rough “order” to the fossil record.

   If you have kids, they can learn all about this in Schus Off!: The Movie, a one-hour special on geology and the flood featuring AiG’s Avery Foley Schu and her family, streaming exclusively on Answers TV. (Why not get an Answers TV subscription, and your kids can watch this movie and the other great, family-friendly, God-honoring programs while you drive?)

5. Remember to ask, “Were you there?” For decades, I’ve taught children that whenever they hear about evolution or millions of years, they should (politely) ask the question, “Were you there?” You see, no scientist was there in the beginning, no scientist knows everything, and scientists often make mistakes. Now, I wasn’t there either and neither were you, but we know the one who was there—and he is perfect, doesn’t make a mistake, knows everything, and has given us an eyewitness account of history in his Word. So even if a museum exhibit stumps you and you don’t know how to properly interpret it, remember God was there and we can trust his Word over the interpretations of man.

6. Give God the glory. As you tour museums and other attractions, you will see many examples of God’s handiwork and creativity. In the midst of correcting the evolutionary signage and offering a biblical worldview interpretation for your family, don’t forget to give God the glory for the wonderful things he’s made!

Oh, and here’s one more bonus tip: Visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter first! Our God-honoring, Bible-upholding attractions help you put on your “Bible glasses” so you can properly interpret the world around you. It’s a great way to help your kids know how to spot error. And I have family after family share with me how refreshing it is to visit attractions where they aren’t having to correct everything on the signage—they can just enjoy their time!

There are certain scientists and researchers who are considered subject-matter experts, knowing more about a specific topic than almost anyone else. These researchers dive deep into God’s creation and are familiar with the astounding complexity of life and the universe—and yet many of them still reject the Creator God. But the evidence confirming an intelligence behind the universe is so obvious—overwhelming, really. One such world-renowned scientist recently passed away, dying an atheist as far as we know. How is this possible?

This scientist was Dr. Craig Venter, a genomics researcher. In other words, he was an expert in DNA, the most complex language and information system in the world. He was one of the researchers who first drafted the human genome. He was a brilliant man who knew an impressive amount about DNA. And yet, as far as we know, he utterly rejected the Creator, attributing the complexity of DNA to random, chance processes. And sometimes Christians wonder how that’s possible. How could an intelligent person who knows so much—and knows how much there is that we don’t know—not see the fingerprint of the Creator?

The Bible gives the answer.

Well, the Bible gives the answer. And I explain what that answer is in this video I recorded after we heard of Dr. Venter’s sad passing (it’s always sad when someone dies, but it’s tragic when someone who rebelled against God and refused his offer of salvation dies):

Yes, the ultimate problem is hard hearts that don’t want to submit to Jesus Christ. What a tragedy!

The Great Pyramid of Giza has stood for millennia, having been built sometime after Babel (secular scientists believe it is around 4,600 years old, but that would put it before the global flood, so we know it is younger than that). Apparently, earthquakes rock that region of Egypt, and yet the immense structure has only lost 33 feet of height after all those centuries. And scientists have just discovered why.

Researchers placed vibration sensors in various places throughout and around the pyramid (apparently a common practice in historic sites to ensure the structure is still stable) and found that “vibrations were remarkably similar” throughout the pyramid. Here’s why:

The new study of vibrations throughout the pyramid’s structure suggests that certain architectural features, such as a series of chambers known as the pressure-relieving chambers above the chamber where the pharaoh Khufu once rested, dampen seismic movement toward the top of the structure. . . .

Other features contributing to the pyramid’s stability include its massive base, strong limestone foundation and symmetrical geometry. . . . The vibrations do increase toward the top of the structure, which is typical in most buildings . . . but this pattern is interrupted by the pressure-relieving chambers that sit about 200 feet (61 m) high inside the pyramid. These chambers lie over the King’s Chamber and are thought to have been built to take some of the weight off the pharaoh’s final resting place. They also, it turns out, dampen vibrations that otherwise might travel toward the structure’s apex.

In other words, the architectural marvel that is the Great Pyramid is even more sophisticated than we thought! As one researcher put it,

The study highlights the extraordinary practical engineering knowledge of ancient Egyptian builders, who developed highly effective construction practices through centuries of experimentation and refinement.

Studies like this, however, show that mankind has always been intelligent and great at solving problems.

Because of evolutionary indoctrination, many people view our ancestors as less intelligent than we are. Evolution teaches that man slowly evolved over millions of years, from an apelike creature to simple hunter-gatherer societies to more complex agrarian societies. Because of this, people imbibe the idea that we’re much more intelligent than people in the past—but we aren’t! That’s why many resort to claiming aliens had to build the structure. Studies like this, however, show that mankind has always been intelligent and great at solving problems.

Of course, in a biblical worldview, this is what we would expect. Mankind was created perfect with perfect intelligence, and, well, we’re actually getting worse due to the compounding effects of generations living in a broken, sin-cursed world! It’s no surprise that, according to the Bible, very early people were working with metals, building cities, and making musical instruments. Mankind has always been intelligent. The only reason we seem more “advanced” is because we’re standing on a few thousand years of advancement and human ingenuity, allowing us to develop amazing technologies.

Yes, the more we study the world around us, the more it confirms exactly what we’d expect starting with Scripture.

Over the years, I’ve found that many Christians are unaware of what’s really being taught at the Christian college they support. They assume because the school claims the name of Christ, teaches the Bible, and says in their marketing materials that they are faithful, that they truly are—but that’s not the case with many Christian colleges (especially many of the most well-known ones). So what’s really being taught?

These schools may say they believe God’s Word as the authority, but they compromise with man’s ideas in many areas, including creation and the age of the earth).

In a recent video for my YouTube channel, I shared some of what’s being taught at Christian schools you’ve probably heard of and why these teachings are such a problem (ultimately, it comes back to the issue of the authority of the Word of God—these schools may say they believe God’s Word as the authority, but they compromise with man’s ideas in many areas, including creation and the age of the earth).

You can watch that video below:

But despite the rampant compromise throughout much of Christian academia, there are still a minority of schools that do stand on the authority of Scripture—so much so that they are willing to publicly stand with Answers in Genesis as a partner school. We are thrilled we can recommend these schools to you (though, of course, you must always do your due diligence in checking them out). One of these schools is Emmaus University in Iowa.

This school offers Christ-centered education with uncompromised biblical teaching and valuable professional degrees, all with the goal of educating and equipping learners to impact the world for Christ.

Emmaus offers academic programs in a wide variety of fields, including applied mathematics, Bible and theology, business administration, computer studies, counseling psychology, educational ministries, health sciences, intercultural studies, music, and teaching.

If you’re looking for a Christian college that stands rooted on God’s Word—and won’t plant seeds of doubt in your child or teach them to compromise—I encourage you to check out Emmaus. Or make plans to attend our free Creation College Expo, November 5–7, 2026, and visit their booth and many others in person.

I’m thrilled to announce our 2027 Answers VBS theme: Spy U: Uncovering Counterfeits, Discovering the One True God. Our VBS team does an incredible job choosing themes each year that are relevant to our culture, are filled with deep biblical truths, equip children to stand strong, and are evangelistic. And 2027 is no exception!

When kids—“cadets”—attend Spy U, they’ll discover there are many counterfeit views of gods but only one true God as they uncover the nature of our Creator God and learn to spot the fakes.

When kids—“cadets”—attend Spy U, they’ll discover there are many counterfeit views of gods but only one true God as they uncover the nature of our Creator God and learn to spot the fakes. It’s a spy-adventure–themed VBS that shows kids the emptiness of religious pluralism and vague “spirituality” by pointing them to the one true God, whom we know from his Word.

For you are great and do wondrous things;
  you alone are God. (Psalm 86:10)

They’ll 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.

Through lessons, music, games, snacks, crafts, and science experiments—yes, everything is designed to point kids toward the truth—kids will discover there’s no one like our God, as he’s unique and set apart from the counterfeits our world has to offer.

As with every Answers VBS, Spy U will feature apologetics content to help kids know why we believe what we believe as Christians.

• 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.

I encourage you to welcome the kids in your church and community to Spy University next summer to help them discover the truth about God—it’s the most vital message in the universe!

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.

Did you know that you only have a few months—at most—left to live? Yes, that’s right, because a climate scientist from the University of Arizona predicted back in 2016 that the climate situation was so dire that in a mere decade he couldn’t imagine there being a single human being left on planet earth. Well, this year makes 10 years since he made that prediction . . . so are we all about to die from extreme temperatures not seen in “two billion years”?

Dr. Guy McPherson has published 55 peer-reviewed articles and is a professor emeritus. His “near-term human extinction” theory—that humans will be extinct very soon—is considered “fringe” by most scientists, but that certainly hasn’t stopped him from touring, speaking, publishing, teaching, and interviewing as a climate expert! Take, for example, this interview from 2016 in New Zealand when he made this prediction:

Yes, he really said,

In terms of the human race, we’re done, it’s locked in . . . We’re in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. . . . I can’t imagine there will be a human on the planet in 10 years.

It’s been 10 years, and human beings are still thriving and nowhere near extinction.

Of course, it’s been 10 years, and human beings are still thriving and nowhere near extinction. His prediction was utterly false. Things have not rapidly declined to the point where humans are desperately clinging to life with only the hope of microbes and fungi left to repopulate a desolate planet. Since he has the wrong starting point—evolution, millions of years, and atheism—he reaches utterly wrong conclusions.

In 2018, climate-change activist Greta Thunberg tweeted an article that quoted another climate activist/professor saying that climate change could “wipe out humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.” Again, a dire prediction that hasn’t taken place.

Al Gore’s environmental activism is another example—a lot of the prophecies he made about climate change in his 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, have not come true.

Climate models are only as good as the data put into them and the interpretations driving the conclusions. Dr. McPherson and climate alarmists like him don’t have all the information (climate science is extremely complex, after all) and have a wrong interpretation of the past when it comes to climate, so they make wrong predictions that fail again and again.

Our climate did not evolve. It was created by God, intelligently designed with wisdom and foresight. And humans will not go extinct by soaring global temperatures. God has already decreed how it will all end when he returns in judgment and creates a new heavens and a new earth.

Climate alarmists will continue to predict the end of the world or the end of humanity, but they will continue to be wrong.

For Christians, the future is not bleak and hopeless—we will spend eternity in perfection with our Creator. But for those who reject God, the future is hopeless. Not because of a man-made climate crisis, but because God will judge sin and those who have rejected Christ will forever be apart from him. That’s the reality! (Praise the Lord we have hope in Christ!)

Climate alarmists will continue to predict the end of the world or the end of humanity, but they will continue to be wrong.

Instead of getting worked up about the supposed hopelessness of the future, Christians are to continue following the mandate God gave us: to have wise and godly dominion over this creation (this means taking care of it for God’s glory and our good), doing the King’s business until he comes, contending for the faith, being salt and light, and making disciples—all with the hope of a brand-new creation when Jesus returns someday.

What a difference a biblical worldview makes!

What’s the truth about dinosaurs?

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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