“How much would you pay for a smarter baby?”

That’s the question an article in The Economist is asking as it highlights boutique IVF clinics, part of a “burgeoning industry aspir[ing] to reshape the way humans are made” by allowing parents to screen their embryos for IQ, height, and eye color.

These start-ups are front and center in the commodification of children, turning human beings into products so wealthy parents can—according to their advertising on the New York subway—“have [their] best baby.”

Of course, this kind of specialized screening is out of reach (thankfully!) for most couples using IVF, as the screening currently costs up to $50,000. But these start-ups believe that AI and other technological advancements will soon make it more affordable. And if that’s the case, parents are going to use it. The article notes, “demand for such tests could be substantial.”

Nearly three-quarters of American IVF patients say they would use such tests if free.

. . .

A survey published in 2023 in Science found that 43% of all IVF participants would use polygenic screening to increase their child’s chance of getting into an elite university, provided it were safe and free. [Safe for whom? Certainly not for the babies who are discarded simply for potentially having a lower IQ than their siblings!] A third said the same for genetic editing.

These tests are just the next step in the commodification of children.

These survey results should be utterly shocking—we are talking about parents deciding which of their children are born and which either become medical waste or are frozen indefinitely simply based on IQ, height, eye color, or future health risk. How evil!

These tests are just the next step in the commodification of children. Listen to how the men and women behind these start-ups talk about these services (keep in mind these are babies—real human beings made in God’s image—they are talking about):

Late last year New Yorkers noticed a series of strange advertisements on the subway. “Have your best baby,” one promised. “IQ is 50% genetic,” noted another. Predictably, they stirred controversy. Yet Kian Sadeghi of Nucleus, the embryo-screening startup behind them, was pleased. “This is a mass-market product. What’s a better way of showing that it’s a mass-market product than the subway?” (emphasis added)

. . .

Noor Siddiqui of Orchid, a competitor, likes to say that “sex is for fun; embryo screening is for babies.”

. . .

As for ethics, Mr Asparouhov argues that all parents-to-be engage in a form of genetic selection when they choose a partner. “If this is eugenics, then so is Hinge,” he argues. [Of course, he’s ignoring that there’s a big difference between embryo screening and dating websites in that when you “swipe left” on someone on a dating app, you aren’t killing them or indefinitely putting them into a freezer!]

Or listen to what one parent who used this technology shared:

“Most of my professional career I’ve been a product manager in tech, and so in some ways this is just like another product to manage,” he says. . . . “All I could do is look at the results for my six embryos and say: ‘Okay, it kind of seems like this one is better.’” (emphasis added)

Yes, he looked at his six children and then picked the one that looked the best, just like he was managing some kind of tech product. One wonders what happened to the other five children who didn’t look as good to him.

As I said, this kind of boutique screening is currently only available for the wealthy, but that doesn’t mean the average IVF user isn’t also screening their embryos. They are, just not to this degree. As the article explains,

Some screening is already common among IVF patients. One example is PGT-A, which checks embryos have the right number of chromosomes, and which some studies claim lowers the miscarriage risk (many experts are sceptical). Certain clinics also offer PGT-M, which checks for disorders caused by a single gene, such as cystic fibrosis or Huntington’s.

Babies who have the wrong number of chromosomes (e.g., children with Down syndrome), have a high miscarriage risk, or will have a disorder like cystic fibrosis are typically never given a chance to live; they are routinely discarded. As I shared in a blog post last year, more babies are discarded through IVF than children killed in abortion in the US.

Of course, those discussing this new technology and these screenings never mention what happens to the embryos that “don’t make the grade.” Consider how the testing is framed as “reducing risk”:

It claims that, if it tests ten embryos for a couple where both parents have type-2 diabetes, it can reduce their child’s absolute risk of developing the condition by 12-20 percentage points, from a baseline of 40-60%.

But they aren’t reducing a child’s risk of diabetes. They are killing (murdering) the babies that have a higher risk of diabetes and only allowing the baby that looks the least likely to develop that condition to live. That’s evil! Each of those 10 embryos is a person made in God’s image, not a commodity to be chosen for a chance at life or discarded because of his or her genetics.

Consider also the ramifications of this in parenting. Imagine you paid $50,000 to ensure your lab-made baby would have a high IQ and be healthy and attractive. What if all the hype proves false (according to The Economist, the science behind these screenings might not even be sound) or because of environment or personality, the child simply doesn’t live up to the parent’s lofty expectations? What will that do to the parent-child relationship? After all, that parent paid “good money” for this child, and he or she isn’t living up to the promises. That’s a recipe for disaster!

We already see this kind of thinking on social media. For example, watch this video of Josh Wood from the organization Them Before Us responding to a reel from an IVF mom:

Children are people, made in the image of God with inherent dignity and value right from fertilization.

Children are not commodities or products to be genetically manipulated according to adult desires. Children are people, made in the image of God with inherent dignity and value right from fertilization.

It is God who fearfully and wonderfully knits each child together just as He wants them to be—IQ, eye color, height, diabetes risk, and all. We must stand up and defend these children who are being so callously discarded.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, And render justice to the afflicted and needy. (Proverbs 31:9)

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.

“The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”

That was a claim reportedly made back in 2019 by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). Of course, doing the math, that means we all have a mere five years left (unless you take a different climate prediction that put the end of the world due to climate change smack-dab in 2026!).

The clip of AOC’s “climate prophecy” has resurfaced because she recently posted a video showing her injecting herself with hormones so she can freeze her eggs to maybe have a child someday. And so people are asking, “If the world is ending in five years—in just 2031—why are you planning to possibly have a baby?” And, of course, the answer is because none of the dire climate predictions of the past have come true and there’s no sign that hers will be an exception to the rule! In fact, I predict it will not come true—unless Jesus returns!

And the data confirms that. Recently, a man who goes by the name “The Honest Broker” created a US Extreme Weather and Climate Change Dashboard that “follows the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) framework for detecting a change in climate in the context of internal variability. This dashboard tracks 38 variables associated with 8 types of extremes: heat waves, cold extremes, tornadoes, flooding, drought, winter storms, wildfire, and hurricanes.”

And what was the result? In terms of long-term change, there was no detected change in five of the eight categories. Of the remaining three categories, one (cold extremes) is decreasing, and only two are currently increasing (heat waves and wildfires). That’s a very different story than you will hear from the mainstream media! Anytime there’s a weather event—a hurricane, tornado, flood, heat wave, etc.—it’s always blamed on man-made climate change. But the data doesn’t support that hype!

Yes, the climate is changing. It’s changed in the past, and it will continue to change in the future.

Yes, the climate is changing. It’s changed in the past, and it will continue to change in the future. There’s been climate change ever since Noah’s Flood. But the idea that it’s man-made and catastrophic, leading to an apocalyptic scenario in just a few years if we don’t do something dramatic, isn’t supported by the data. And that’s why these end-of-the-world doomsday claims never come to fruition. They’re poor interpretations of the data based on a certain environmentalist worldview.

We believe that God created the climate. He made it intelligently and designed it for life to flourish. Yes, it varies over time (the global Flood of Noah’s day was the most dramatic climate change of all time, resulting in the Ice Age), but it’s relatively stable and self-correcting. And that’s what we actually observe!

The world isn’t going to end in five years due to climate change, no matter what politicians say. The world will end when Jesus returns to judge sin and make a new heavens and a new earth. In the meantime, we’re to be good stewards of creation, caring for it with wisdom and using what God has provided for our good and His glory.

And remember God’s promise to Noah (and therefore all of humanity):

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)

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?

I recently saw a headline that basically read “Charles Darwin was just proven right after 150 years”—and, for once, I can agree with that sort of headline! Something Charles Darwin believed actually was just proven to be correct.

Of course, Darwin is most well-known for his ideas regarding naturalistic evolution—and this new study had absolutely nothing to do with that. What Darwin is less known for is his obsession with carnivorous plants such as sundews (pitcher plants and Venus flytraps are other well-known carnivorous plant species).

Darwin spent countless hours feeding various things to these plants and recording his observations, which were published in his 1875 book Insectivorous Plants. In that book, he apparently speculated that two species, Saxifraga rotundifolia and Saxifraga umbrosa (both low-growing plants with tall flower stalks), were insect-eaters. These plants have hairlike structures that ooze a gooey substance that Darwin observed was frequently covered in gnats. He thought this plant might be digesting the gnats, but he could never prove it.

Inspired by this hypothesis, a team of researchers put it to the test, using Saxifraga candelabrum (an alpine species in the same kind), as the test plant.

Here’s how they pulled off this rather high-tech study:

Through chemical analysis, scientists showed how the plants attracted tiny gnats with tempting odors and then digested trapped prey using an enzyme called phosphatase. Isotope labeling — a technique for tagging forms of an element with different atomic weights — highlighted the transfer of the nutrient nitrogen-15 from insect prey to the plants that dissolved them, indicating a direct path from trapping to digestion.

Genetic analysis then clarified S. candelabrum’s relationship to other sticky carnivorous plants, revealing shared genes linked to traits such as prey attraction, digestion and nutrient absorption. When the scientists expanded their investigation to include other types of traps, they found dozens of genes across different plant groups related to digesting insect remains.

In other words, Darwin was right—this plant was indeed purposefully luring in insects, trapping them, and digesting them to supplement its need for nitrogen (the alpine soil they grow in has low levels of this necessary nutrient). And researchers think their study can be used to reveal hidden carnivory in a variety of other species.

“Some species of the plants previously only known to bear sticky glandular hairs or trap insects incidentally may actually have undiscovered digestive and nutrient absorption capabilities. . . . Carnivory is likely far more widely distributed among angiosperms” — or flowering plants — “than previously believed, and new carnivorous plant lineages may be discovered in the future.”

It’s an interpretation of the evidence in the present based on a view of the past.

Of course, this is all observational science. Researchers are doing experiments and using technology in unique ways to uncover the mysteries of plants. Like Darwin’s experiments in the 1870s, they are doing good observational science. But, also like Darwin, these researchers then leave the realm of observable, repeatable, testable science to try to explain where this ability came from—and they’ve now stepped into historical science. Historical science isn’t directly testable, repeatable, or observable. Rather, it’s an interpretation of the evidence in the present based on a view of the past. That’s what evolution is: an attempt to explain the past based on a particular worldview (an atheistic, naturalistic worldview that excludes the supernatural).

So how do they explain this carnivory in over 750 species (across what is likely 14 kinds) of plants? Well, a botanist not involved with the study was cited as saying that

at least 350,000 species of flowering plants exist, of which more than 750 species are known to be carnivorous. Different styles of carnivory evolved independently in 14 plant families — a process called convergent evolution — and the study provides important new information about this intriguing lifestyle.

In this view, the ability and necessary adaptations to eat insects independently evolved 14 different times! Yes, evolution is a belief system—a blind-faith belief!

Now, how do we understand these sorts of “murderous” plants in a biblical worldview? Well, God’s original creation was “very good,” but now it is fallen, and that fallen state includes modifications to plants, including “thorns and thistles” as Genesis 3:17–18 says. The ability to trap and consume insects may be one of these post-Fall modifications that allows plants to thrive in a world with many different environments, including nutrient-poor ones. (There’s also debate on whether insects meet the criteria for nephesh life, and therefore perhaps they, like plants, don’t “die” in the biblical sense.)

Plants continue to show the handiwork and creativity of God.

Plants continue to show the handiwork and creativity of God. As the botanist cited above noted, “identifying S. candelabrum as carnivorous also reminds us that plants are full of surprises and that there is much to still be discovered about them. . . . ‘We are still barely scratching the surface of botanical knowledge.’” Yes, the more we learn, the more we learn that there is more to learn!

So, yes, Darwin’s hypothesis, based on observations of plants in the present, was recently proven correct. But what will never be proven correct are his worldview-based assumptions about the past that led to the development of modern-day evolutionary beliefs. Evolution is just a fairy tale!

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.

Sometimes I come across a study that just makes me wonder, “Why did anyone do this study?” And this recent study is a great example of that. The study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, looked at ape and human skulls to see if ancient human infants were as helpless as today’s human infants—all in an effort to discover when our larger brains supposedly evolved—and, well, I don’t think you’ll be shocked by the study findings!

Here’s how they describe the “need” for this study in the abstract of the paper:

Unlike other catarrhine primates, modern humans deliver a helpless newborn who requires prolonged extensive care. Such helpless infancy is associated with fetus-like, rapid postnatal brain growth, which is essential to produce the large human brain. In the debate about its evolution, a key question has been whether it emerged in Homo erectus, whose brain sizes were approximately 20–40% smaller than Homo sapiens.

To test this, the authors examined 1,504 “cranial specimens,” including nearly 1,000 from great apes and over 500 from modern humans, looking for deformational plagiocephaly, otherwise known as flat head syndrome. This deformity comes from human babies lying too long on their backs or in the same position and being unable to lift their heads. Apes do not suffer from this condition as they have stronger head control from birth.

The researchers assume that if a skull shows this deformity, it must be because the infant was helpless, like today’s infants. They then looked at cranial fossils from archaic humans, Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis (the so-called “Hobbits”), and found that two of the H. erectus specimens and one of the H. floresiensis specimens exhibited this deformational plagiocephaly. The researchers’ conclusion?

These support a deep evolutionary origin of hominin helpless infancy, and imply both elaborate parental childcare and cooperative social behaviours that could likely have accompanied it.

In other words, humans had babies that looked and acted like human babies! What a shock!

The paper even notes that while Australopithecus—another supposed human ancestor that was really just a variety of ape—was not included in the study, they believe, based on other data, that this species would have had a “postnatal brain and cranial growth pattern” that was “probably different” from the similar-size H. floresiensis (they were quite a short people group) and therefore:

The brain size reduction in the lineage of H. floresiensis was not a simple evolutionary reversal toward the Australopithecus condition; it was rather a unique adaptation that occurred in an insular Homo group while retaining human-like infant growth pattern accompanied by helpless infancy.

In other words, the apes had babies that were apes and looked and behaved like baby apes, and the humans had babies that were humans and looked and behaved like baby humans. What an incredibly shocking study!

The more evolutionists attempt to prove their worldview of millions of years of slow and gradual processes, the more they reveal the truth: God created all of life according to its kind.

The more evolutionists attempt to prove their worldview of millions of years of slow and gradual processes, the more they reveal the truth: God created all of life according to its kind. Apes have always been apes, and humans have always been humans.

We aren’t related to today’s living apes or to extinct ones like Australopithecus. All humans—Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis, and any other variety (falsely called “species”)—are descendants of the first human couple, Adam and Eve, and made in the image of God. Variety in humans is the result of the genetic diversity God created at the beginning and of the event at Babel, which split the human genome up for a time.

The Bible, not evolutionary fairy tales (which is the correct description of the research mentioned above), explains what we observe.

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.

God formed earth for mankind.

For thus says Yahweh, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it a formless place, but formed it to be inhabited),

    “I am Yahweh, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:18)

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, so that they will have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

God formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorify God with.

The modern environmental movement is about more than just protecting earth’s creatures and resources (something we must do as good stewards of God’s creation)—it’s an inversion of God’s design. This movement puts the creation in dominion over man—the opposite of what God instructed. God formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorify God with.

The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men. (Psalm 115:16)

But today’s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from a new study that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200:

The authors argued that data shows population growth leads to a decline in wildlife abundance, an increase in CO2 emissions, an increase in energy consumption, a greater ecological footprint, greater freshwater use, mineral extraction, plastics production, and pesticide use.

“Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems,” the authors asserted.

They draw the conclusion, therefore, that “in the long run, population growth itself is unsustainable.”

According to these researchers, humans are the ultimate problem and the only sustainable solution is for us to get ourselves out of the way by continuing to decrease the global fertility rate (which is only at 2.2, barely above replacement level) through providing more “reproductive health services” (by that they surely mean abortion [murdering children in the womb] and birth control) and “improving girls’ educational opportunities, especially in poorer countries.”

This kind of thinking regarding humanity has been around for a very long time, but it’s important to note that none, none, of the dire predictions of these alarmists have come true in decades past. And that’s partly because these researchers view mankind as primarily consumers, not as producers.

Part of having dominion over this planet is that we don’t just endlessly consume—we “tame” the world for our good and God’s glory. In other words, we put ourselves to work on how to solve problems . . . and history shows humans are good at coming up with solutions! As the population grows and new problems arise, humans have invented new technologies to cope with the problems or to solve them. People are doing that right now!

Here are some examples one of our staff members shared with me:

• Plastic pollution is a massive problem around the world, and there are companies working to produce a plastic replacement using renewable algae or mycelium (fungal networks). Others are working to use fungi to break down certain types of plastic.
• Researchers are using AI to monitor bird activity around wind turbines and then adjusting turbine activity to prevent collisions and protect birds, especially raptors.
• And one farmer in the Netherlands—a nation that has always struggled with not having enough land—has created a cow farm that floats on a harbor and is a “closed loop” system (zero waste).

The great threat to humanity is not that there will be too many people. The problem is the looming population collapse!

Yes, humanity is very good at using our God-given intellect and creativity to solve the problems facing our world, and we will continue to do so. The great threat to humanity is not that there will be too many people. The problem is the looming population collapse! As fertility rates continue to plummet around the world, the population ages, the workforce shrinks, and the economy suffers or even collapses. A LifeSite News article on this new study put it this way, with a quote from other researchers on this coming collapse:

“Even if below-replacement fertility is sustained only for a few centuries, the size of the global population could become very small.” . . . This means that a whole slew of harmful effects to society will follow population decline, likely including a decline in basic services and infrastructure; unemployment; a decline in innovation; insufficient end-of-life care for the elderly; and a decline in mental health.

Even the World Economic Forum (WEF) has admitted that the effects of population collapse will be “severe.”

As mankind increasingly ignores God’s command (which He has never revoked) to “be fruitful and multiply,” a command which came in tandem with his command to have dominion, humanity will suffer. God’s instructions to the first human couple were to both have children and take dominion. As a whole, humanity can’t ignore either part of God’s design for us without serious consequences.

But environmentalists don’t just get their view of mankind wrong, they also have a wrong view of God. Many of them are either atheists, who do not believe God exists, or pantheists, who think that God is in everything or that God is nature (or “Mother Nature”). The result is that they worship the creature, rather than the Creator, and are reduced to foolishness (just read Romans 1).

The biblical God—the only true God—is a generous God who specifically designed earth to be inhabited by humans. Yes, it’s a fallen creation; it’s groaning; it’s filled with “thorns and thistles.” Having dominion is hard work now, but God has still provided generously for our needs through His creation. Wise stewardship, creativity, and thankfulness to God are what are needed to solve our environmental crises, not a severe reduction in the population of those who bear that Creator’s image!

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.

I can’t believe the so-called “curse of Ham” is back in the news again!

What is this claimed “curse of Ham”? Well, it doesn’t refer to my surname! Rather, it’s a reference to the supposed curse Noah put on his son Ham in Genesis 9, which supposedly meant all of Ham’s descendants—in this view, primarily the people who settled in Africa—are cursed to be slaves.

And this ridiculous idea is back in the news cycle again thanks to a sermon series from an Arizona pastor, Dale Partridge (who is well-known for his disparaging remarks toward various ethnic groups and for his racism).

Apparently, Partridge has been preaching through Genesis 9, spending substantial time on the so-called “curse of Ham”:

The description of one instalment on his own sermon podcast says the passage reveals God’s design of distinctions among what he calls the ‘three macro-races of humanity’ descended from Noah’s sons, and frames later sermons as testing whether Noah’s words were fulfilled in history.

Partridge claims ‘the African peoples’ and some people from India are the modern descendants of Ham. He teaches that they have been divinely assigned to be ruled over by, and dependent upon, the supposed descendants of Ham’s brothers Shem and Japheth, whom he identifies as White people, Europeans, Asians, Jews, and Arabs.

Does the Bible teach “three macro-races of humanity” and a curse of servitude for Ham’s descendants? Let’s start with the Genesis text:

Then Noah began to be a man of the land and planted a vineyard. And he drank of the wine and became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent. Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took the garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. Then Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him. So he said,

    “Cursed be Canaan;
    A servant of servants
    He shall be to his brothers.”

And he said,

    “Blessed be Yahweh,
    The God of Shem;
    And let Canaan be his servant.
    May God enlarge Japheth,
    And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
    And let Canaan be his servant.” (Genesis 9:20–27)

First, you will note that Ham is not cursed—it’s his son, Noah’s grandson Canaan, who is cursed! (You can take a look at this article for reasons why Canaan, rather than Ham, may have been cursed by Noah.) And Genesis 10 traces Canaan’s genealogy. He was the father of many of the tribes that the Israelites would eventually expel from the land of Canaan (the promised land). His descendants were incredibly wicked (practicing rampant sexual perversion like at Sodom and Gomorrah) and either were wiped out by the Israelites as God’s judgment on their sin or became Israel’s servants. The “curse of Ham”—which is really the curse of Canaan—had nothing to do with Africa or so-called skin color (we’re all the same basic color—brown—anyway, just different shades).

What about the idea that God was creating three “macro-races” here?

If you start with the Bible, there is only one race—the human race.

That idea doesn’t come from the text; it’s been read into the text because of preconceived notions or prejudice. If you start with the Bible, there is only one race—the human race. Everyone is descended from Adam and Eve through Noah (and, consequently, through his three sons). And Noah blessing two of his sons and cursing one of his grandchildren (Ham had other sons who were not cursed) does not somehow divide humanity into three races. As Acts 17:26 says:

And He made from one man every nation of mankind to inhabit all the face of the earth.

Biblically speaking, there’s only one race. That’s why Jesus, the Last Adam, is the Savior of everyone—He was a member of Adam’s race who died for Adam’s race to redeem Adam’s race. And that includes “a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands” (Revelation 7:9). The Bible never makes some arbitrary distinction between three so-called “races.” To argue otherwise is to read your own ideas into the text.

And the reality of there being only one race has been confirmed by the science of genetics. The genetic differences between any two people anywhere in the world are so minor (a fraction of a percent) that researchers declared there can only be one genetic race of humans.

For someone to say that the people of Africa are all descendants of Ham and therefore subject to a curse of servitude and dependence on the other so-called “macro-races” is: (1) reading ideas into the text (again, the text says nothing about Africa or skin “color” or Ham and all his descendants being cursed) and (2) ignorant of both genetics and human history. There are no genetically distinct “races,” and the descendants of each of Noah’s sons have mixed so much that it’s ridiculous to claim any kind of pure descent from Ham.

Research biologist Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson has shown through his research—which starts with the biblical timescale and the reality of Noah and his family—that we are much more connected and closely related than you might assume. You can read more about that fascinating research in Traced: Human DNA’s Big Surprise.

There is no “curse of Ham.” Those who attend the church of Pastor Dale Partridge should challenge him to show them where the Bible makes any such claims about Ham’s descendants, skin shade, Africa, and the rest of it!

Instead of adding ideas into Scripture, we need to start with God’s Word as our authority. And it’s clear from Genesis 3:15 (the first mention of the gospel) through Revelation that God’s plan for humanity has always been to save the one human race from the curse of sin. When people teach favoritism of some groups of people over others, they are committing the sin of partiality and need to repent.

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.

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?

As Canada allows more and more people to opt for “MAiD”—Medical Assistance in Dying, their government euthanasia program—churches are faced with a pastoral problem: What do you do if someone in your church decides to end their own life at the hand of a doctor? Well, according to the Anglican Church of Canada, you go to their bedside with a liturgy ready to go.

Now the document doesn’t appear to celebrate MAiD. Read what it says in the introduction to this 60-pagePastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Contexts of Medically Assisted Dying document:

Many of the conversations around what constitutes a good death seek to enshrine dignity of the dying person as the highest value. Very often, the understanding of dignity is tied to one’s autonomy in agency—being able to think, act, and make decisions on one’s own. Human dignity, however, rests in our being created by a loving God. It is not something to be tied to a question of worth to be determined according to standards that place autonomy as the highest value of dignity. God has given us dignity and worth as part of who we are as God’s creatures. Our agency in health care decisions is, furthermore, something that we need to entrust to God in our discernment. We do not make decisions alone, but in the presence of God.

Of course, we would agree with much of that—autonomy is not what gives us dignity, rather God endowed us with dignity when He created us in His very image (interestingly they say “God’s creatures,” rather than being made in God’s image. That’s not surprising given that, by and large, this liberal denomination accepts evolutionary ideas). But instead of stopping there and denouncing euthanasia as to what it is—the intentional killing of a human being (murder)—and urging people to start their thinking with Scripture on this issue, they say:

It is not our intent to enter into the ethical arguments regarding MAiD, nor to provide a moral argument for or against MAiD. This resource is about responding to pastoral needs of those who are dying.

In other words: “It might be right; it might be wrong. Who are we to say? But here’s a resource to give you prayers and Scripture readings at the bedside of someone ending their own life.” They go on to suggest some pastors might not be okay with seeming to bless MAiD, but don’t worry, you can “walk the challenging path” of choosing and adapting prayers so as not to imply God blesses the procedure:

A critical consideration for some pastors will be the question of whether or not in pronouncing God’s blessing on the person who is dying, they are blessing the act of the decision towards or blessing the procedure itself. To some following some Dioceses’ guidance or their own consciences, it will be important to walk the challenging path in choosing and adapting prayers in this resource that do not imply that the procedure, the medical assistance in dying itself, and the decision to employ MAiD, are not being given God’s blessing. It is, however, a normal part of pastoral care to be praying for and to offer God’s and the Church’s blessing on the person who is dying.

However, after all these careful caveats, the introduction then says this:

People who choose MAiD freely and without coercion may indeed be ready to go. They have been living with and suffering through complex health challenges and they want the pain to stop. They want to be able to sleep. They desperately do not want their families and loved ones to watch and wait, wondering how much longer? They have exhausted all medical options, and they know, everyone knows, that there is no cure. Some wish, most of all, not to be alone at the time of their death, and to die well. Some, who are Christian, also desire not to be alone at the time of their death, and to die well, and with the grace and blessing of God and with the presence of the Church at their side.

That reads an awful lot like a stamp of approval on MAiD from the writers of this liturgical guide!

The guide then gives prayers, confessions, and Scripture readings, along with instructions for communion, to be administered before and after the physician gives the lethal injection and the person’s life ends.

This guidance is an example of someone using the Bible and very Christian-sounding language without actually believing the Bible or having their worldview shaped by Scripture. They have an “appearance of godliness” in their Christianized language, but in reality, they are claiming that it is a person’s choice whether or not to end their own life and pastors have a duty to be there when that person dies to walk them through it—not to persuade them otherwise or show them from God’s Word that murder is wrong but to participate in their death through the liturgy.

God is our Creator, and He holds our lives in His hands and has sovereignly written in our book the number of our days.

It certainly appears compassionate, but only because they use euphemisms to obscure what is really happening: A physician is murdering a patient. Just because the patient has requested to be murdered doesn’t make murder okay!

In a fallen world, we will all suffer, but we do not hold the authority of life and death over our own bodies. We are not autonomous. God is our Creator, and He holds our lives in His hands and has sovereignly written in our book the number of our days. We look to Him, not our own fallible human wisdom, for what is right and good.

Whether they want to admit it or not, a euthanasia liturgy is the church blessing the choice of self-murder. It is the church condoning evil. Those who are suffering need palliative care from the medical profession—not a lethal injection—and compassion, kindness, and love from the church (and the gospel if they don’t know Christ!). What they don’t need is approval of a sinful choice that takes control into our own hands instead of trusting in the Creator who numbers our days.

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.

Well, this is truly horrifying.

In 2025, 25 Republican lawmakers “signed a letter calling on the Trump administration to determine whether the abortion pill mifepristone has an environmental impact on the U.S. water system.”

Mifepristone is the first in a set of two drugs that end the life (are used to murder) of an unborn child, typically early in pregnancy (up to about 10 weeks gestational age). This drug is basically an antiprogestin, blocking the woman’s body from receiving the hormone progesterone that allows the uterine lining to accept the baby’s placenta. Unable to receive nourishment from mom due to the lack of progesterone, the baby dies and a second drug induces contractions to deliver the dead baby’s tiny body.

About 63% of abortions today are these chemical abortions (642,700 babies killed in 2023), and an increasing number take place at home. But what happens to the mifepristone after the woman takes it and kills her baby? The baby and the mifepristone leave the woman’s body and are flushed down the toilet to presumably be removed by the wastewater treatment plant—except no one was testing if conventional water treatment removed drugs like mifepristone from drinking water. Turns out, according to a new study, it doesn’t.

This study published in Issues in Law & Medicine found “a statistically significant amount of mifepristone was found in all but one of the nine water sources” that were tested (water came from Austin, TX; Blacksburg, VA; and Carbondale, IL). The study authors write:

Conventional water treatment was not effective for removing this EDC [endocrine-disrupting compound] from water in all cities we tested. Two cities showed significant mean concentrations even in tap water.

What impact does this have on the health and fertility of the people drinking the water or the plants and animals that live in or around the water? No one knows because it’s never been studied! But the study summarizes what we do know about these kinds of compounds that disrupt the endocrine (hormone) system:

Past research has shown that endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), including steroid hormones, synthetic estrogens and progestins found in oral contraceptives, are present in water supplies. This problem remains an environmental and health concern, especially given the widespread use of contraceptives and the increased prevalence of medication abortion in recent years. These compounds have a number of deleterious effects on human and animal biology, particularly aquatic animals. Small amounts of these chemicals (parts per trillion) can affect the endocrine system of animals and humans. Progestins, including specifically the anti-progesterone synthetic steroid hormone mifepristone, have been found to have disruptive effects on the fertility and reproduction of fish. Moreover, further highlighting the potential for environmental toxicity and contamination, the FDA recommends treating any unused mifepristone pills as hazardous waste.

In other words, we don’t know the effect on human and environmental health yet for sure, but it’s probably not good!

According to an article reporting on this story:

“The EPA relied on studies that were done . . . in 1996  . . . to make sure that the excreted chemicals in the wastewater and the thrown away pills . . . would not reach a level that would hinder U.S. fertility rates,” [Vice chairman of the Committee on Health and Human Services in the Kansas House of Representatives Ron] Bryce said. “Since then . . . up to 63% or more of abortions are done by chemical abortions. Maybe—who knows—a million a year. And so the levels of mifepristone in our wastewater have grown dramatically.”

Infertility has skyrocketed . . . 84% between 1990 and 2021 globally. . . . The abortion pill was first approved in the U.S. in 2000 and approved in many European countries in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. In 2021, the study found that more than 110 million women faced infertility, and one in 10 women within the reproductive age range were infertile.

Bryce . . . is calling for a study to be done that analyzes infertility in light of mifepristone in the U.S. water system.

“[A] study that was done about a year ago on female frogs [found that] when they were exposed to mifepristone that is considered the level that is in our drinking water today, they had half as many babies,” he said. “And so we’re looking at fertility rates that are very low in the United States and in the Western civilization. . . . It’s either environmental factors or it’s behavioral factors. It’s probably a combination of the two.  . . . We really need to get to the bottom of the environmental factors that might be contributing to this, and it’s just obvious that we need to look at the levels of mifepristone in our water.” [emphasis added]

Abortion harms everyone, babies first and foremost, but also men and women—even those not involved in any way with abortion.

Abortion advocates love to say that what a woman does with “her body” (but really, we’re talking about a woman’s body and a totally separate body, her unborn child, which is not part of her body but has his or her own DNA—a unique combination of information different to any other human being) is a medical decision between her and her doctor. But abortion doesn’t just impact a woman and her baby, who loses his or her life. This new study highlights yet another way abortion impacts everyone as millions of un-consenting Americans ingest harmful compounds that may wreak havoc on their own endocrine system and their future fertility (not to mention the environmental considerations that also impact everyone in one way or another!).

Abortion harms everyone, babies first and foremost, but also men and women—even those not involved in any way with abortion. This new study is just another example of the consequences of a culture that has abandoned God’s Word as the foundation for morality and has legalized and commercialized the slaughter of the unborn.

Oh, and it’s a good reminder to filter your tap water! The study suggests, “Maximum removal requires tertiary treatment, such as membrane bioreactors [like a reverse osmosis system], oxidation, or ozonation.”
