Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis (AIG), joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the challenges Christian ministries face in an increasingly hostile world. Throughout his career, Ken has encountered opposition, yet he has seen God use these challenges to further the gospel. Protests outside The Ark Encounter are a regular occurrence, but instead of responding with anger, AIG staff members witness to protestors, demonstrating Christ's love. Ken shares that stepping out in faith, such as building The Ark, often seems insurmountable, but God makes a way. Ken's journey has been filled with trials, yet each step has reinforced his trust in God's provision. Historically, faith thrived in times of persecution. Ken explains that Christianity's influence in the West was once dominant, but secularism has eroded the foundation of biblical belief. Generation Z is increasingly distant from faith, though many in the church are awakening to the need for a stronger biblical foundation. A key point in the discussion is the importance of biblical authority. Ken explains that all reasoning is circular, but the Christian worldview is based on a virtuous circle, where the Bible provides a foundation for understanding reality. Without absolute truth, morality becomes subjective, forcing even non-believers to borrow from Christian principles when making moral claims.Ray reinforces the idea that opposition often fuels the spread of the gospel. The guys discuss how most non-Christians simply repeat arguments they have heard rather than forming well-reasoned objections. AIG equips believers with apologetics training, helping them defend their faith with clarity and confidence. Ken has written a devotional that merges apologetics with scripture, providing practical tools for engaging with a skeptical culture. Ken and the guys remind Christians that faith is not blind but responsible. Christians are called to step out in faith while using wisdom and discernment, trusting in God's sovereignty. Ken reminds believers that the ultimate solution to society's problems is the gospel.The discussion closes with a challenge to Christians to live fully for Christ. Athletes push themselves to their limits for temporary rewards, yet believers often hesitate to give their all for eternal purposes. Ken urges Christians to be all in, recognizing that every person they encounter is someone who will spend eternity either with or without Christ. With this urgency in mind, he encourages believers to go into the world with love, sharing the gospel fearlessly and pointing others to JesusSend us a textThanks for listening!

Ken Ham joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the growing opposition to Christianity and how challenges can strengthen faith and spread the gospel. He shares how AIG faces protests but uses them as opportunities to witness with love. Reflecting on building The Ark Encounter, he explains that stepping out in faith can be daunting, but God provides. The discussion highlights Christianity's declining influence in the West, particularly among Generation Z, yet history shows faith thrives in times of persecution. Ken stresses the importance of biblical authority, as morality collapses without absolute truth. AIG equips believers with apologetics training to defend their faith confidently. The guys remind Christians that faith is not blind but responsible, and the ultimate solution to society's problems is the gospel. Ken challenges believers to live fully for Christ, sharing the gospel boldly and recognizing the eternal significance of every soul. Send us a textThanks for listening!

It's Monday, March 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian pastor's body found after he described recent death threats Pastor Praveen Pagadala, a renowned Christian evangelist and apologist, has been found dead under suspicious circumstances in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, weeks after expressing concerns for his safety, reports The Christian Post. The 46-year-old pastor, who is survived by his wife and two young children, was traveling from Hyderabad to Rajahmundry when he was discovered lifeless along a roadside in the early hours of the morning last Tuesday. Reports indicate that he had recently shared concerns about threats to his life, particularly stemming from his outspoken defense of Christianity and criticism of other religions, according to Open Doors UK, which noted that he had attended a prayer meeting the day before his sudden death. It's our prayer at The Worldview that this sobering story, and others like it, will motivate you to make every day count for God, living each one as though it were your last. Psalm 90:12 states, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Appeals court rules DOGE can continue operating at USAID A federal appeals court on Friday granted the Trump administration's motion to extend a stay allowing the Department of Government Efficiency to continue operating at the United States Agency for International Development, reports Fox News. That's great news since DOGE has already saved the taxpayers $130 billion which is $807.45 per taxpayer. Appearing on Fox News, Daniel Cameron, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, was thrilled. CAMERON: “It is a fantastic win for the Trump administration and their perseverance! “Unconventional doesn't necessarily mean unconstitutional. USAID has become a haven for the radical Left. We want to see a president that is cutting waste, fraud and abuse. “As a conservative, we've been talking about this for 30 years. Ronald Reagan started it, and Donald Trump is going to get the job done.” Last week, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, a federal judge in Maryland appointed by Democrat Barack Obama, ruled that efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency to halt USAID functions were likely unconstitutional, ordering its reinstatement. Thankfully, last Tuesday, a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia issued a stay, temporarily blocking the judge's order that prohibited DOGE from working with USAID. 2,000 young people in Illinois Pro-Life March Last Tuesday, March 25th, 2,000 pro-lifers – primarily teenagers and young adults – walked down the streets of Springfield, Illinois in the Illinois Pro-Life March, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Unlike the dozen scowling pro-abortion protestors, who promoted abortion as so-called “healthcare” at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Second Street, the pro-life young people were cheering, dancing, singing, smiling, laughing, and praying. Oceana Huang, a freshman at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, was enthusiastic. HUANG: “I came out here because I think it's important to give a voice to the voiceless. And I love seeing loads of people come together for a common cause.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” MALE PRO-LIFE MARCHER: “I feel like that, as a community, we should help these unborn children have a life.” Ella Timmermann, a junior at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, spoke to God's plans. TIMMERMAN: “I firmly believe that everybody should have a chance to grow up into the blessings that God has given us, and I believe that God sets us out for a purpose into the world.” Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” MALE PRO-LIFE MARCHER: “I came out here today because life's important. Once we forget about the importance of the sanctity of human life, we forget about the sanctity of every moral aspect of our life.” Hummingbird chicks observed pretending to be caterpillars to avoid being eaten And finally, when Jay Falk and Scott Taylor first saw the white-necked Jacobin hummingbird chick in Panama's dense rainforest, the biologists did not know what they were looking at, reports the GoodNewsNetwork.org. The day-old bird, smaller than a pinky finger, had brown fuzz all over its body. When Falk and Taylor walked closer to the nest, the chick began twitching and shaking its head—a behavior they had never seen in birds before. It turns out the hummingbird might fend off predators by mimicking a poisonous caterpillar that lives in the same region. In a new paper published March 17 in Ecology, Taylor, an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, described this unusual mimicry behavior found for the first time in hummingbirds. TAYLOR: “When we looked at the nest and saw how strange this baby hummingbird looked, we thought this looks exactly like a caterpillar. So, some caterpillars cover themselves with urticating hairs, which, when touched, they can be really painful and even cause nausea in humans. When the white-necked Jacobin chick hatched, we noticed that its long, fluffy down feathers could make it look dangerous to predators, just like these caterpillars. “Tropical forests are filled with mysteries and discoveries waiting to happen. Our findings show that every detail can reveal something extraordinary.” Scientists refer to this survival strategy of mimicking a harmful species as Batesian mimicry. For example, some non-venomous milk snakes have developed a pattern of red, yellow and black coloring similar to that of venomous coral snakes to ward off predators. Taylor said, “A lot of these really classic examples of Batesian mimicry involve butterflies mimicking other butterflies, or snakes mimicking other snakes. But here, we have a bird potentially mimicking an insect, a vertebrate mimicking an invertebrate.” Well, Answers in Genesis, the creation science group known for its Ark Encounter in Kentucky, said, “The origin of mimicry has always been troublesome for evolutionary dogma. Mimicry occurs in numerous groups of animals and provides a benefit to at least the mimic. However, according to many evolutionists, such as Richard Dawkins, evolution is merely a string of unordered events with ‘no purpose in mind.' Given Dawkins' belief system, mimicry is indeed a significant problem for the evolutionists.” Job 12:7-10 says, “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the Earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?” Including the white-necked Jacobin hummingbird chick!

Allen Greene is the Senior Design Director at Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. With a background in theme park design and experience working at Kings Island and with firms like Jack Rouse Associates, Allen brings a wealth of expertise in immersive storytelling and attraction development. The Ark Encounter, a life-size recreation of Noah's Ark in Williamstown, Kentucky, and the Creation Museum, located 45 minutes away, are part of Answers in Genesis, an organization dedicated to faith-based educational experiences. In this interview, Allen talks about building the ark, designing through the lens of the guest, and faith-based attractions. Building the Ark “It was a unique goal for our team to try to recreate as real as possible Noah's Ark, but also in such a way that it's a themed experience that anybody can walk into.” Constructing the Ark Encounter was a massive undertaking that combined biblical history with modern building techniques. The Ark itself is the largest timber-frame structure in the world, standing at 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet tall. Allen describes the meticulous planning process, including consulting with shipbuilding experts and using standing-dead Engelmann spruce harvested from Utah. The project required a balance between authenticity and modern guest expectations, incorporating accessibility features such as elevators and ramps while maintaining the look and feel of an ancient ship. The design team worked in parallel with fabricators to build immersive exhibits inside the Ark, ensuring that guests could engage with the story of Noah in a meaningful way. Designing Through the Lens of the Guest “Having a frontline exposure, and seeing what guests naturally do, the questions they ask, the desires they have, that comes into the designs that we think about every day.” Allen's early career in ride operations at Kings Island helped shape his approach to attraction design, giving him first hand insight into guest behavior and operational challenges. This experience influences his design philosophy at Ark Encounter, where guest flow and storytelling are seamlessly integrated. The Ark's three decks follow a structured narrative—preparing for the flood, life on the Ark, and life after the flood—providing a mix of immersive sets, historical exhibits, and interactive displays. Balancing thematic integrity with practical functionality, the team ensures that guests not only experience the story but also navigate the attraction comfortably. By continuously evaluating guest feedback and operational pain points, the team refines exhibits and pathways to enhance the visitor experience. Faith-Based Attractions “What we're trying to create is more than just a fun day at a park. It's more than just escapism. We want people to experience an encounter, not just with the Ark, but with God.” Faith-based attractions like Ark Encounter differ from traditional theme parks in that they strive to provide a deeper, more meaningful experience for visitors. Allen explains how their mission extends beyond a single visit, offering resources such as books, educational programs, and Vacation Bible School materials to help guests continue their journey at home. He also acknowledges the challenges of catering to a specific audience while maintaining an inclusive environment where all visitors, regardless of faith, feel welcome. The team aims to balance entertainment and education, using modern tools like virtual reality to bring biblical stories to life in new and engaging ways. The demand for wholesome, family-friendly attractions continues to grow, and Ark Encounter seeks to meet that need by providing a space where guests can both enjoy and reflect.

This episode is part 6 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.2 Nephi chapters 26-27 continue Nephi's prophecies. After the ascension, Jesus would show Himself to the Nephites. However, after four generations of a righteous remnant, the Nephites would forsake God. Gentiles will destroy them. The record of their history and prophecies will be sealed until the latter days.2 Nephi chapter 27 is like Isaiah chapter 29 but expanded for commentary about how God would give His book to an unlearned man and three witnesses will see it before it's released to the public. God will open some sealed content later in due time.We briefly look at these "three witnesses" to the Book of Mormon and how they all apostatized from the LDS Church over the same issue with Joseph Smith.

Mary welcomes Dr. Danny Faulkner of Answers in Genesis to discuss the heavens and all that is in them. The Psalmist tells us that they declare the glory of God - and the God Who made them lives in the believer. How can that not inspire awe all by itself? As a culture, going from the beginnings of the space race in the 1960s to today's complex telescopic arrays and the Hubble, we know more than ever about the heavens, vast and boundless. Looking up at the night sky, humans have been doing that from our own beginnings, this connects us all across the millennia. Today we discuss astronomy, the science - what is it, how does it differ from other sciences? The Bible refers to the heavens over 700 times, so there should be no question as to how they came about, but the complexity, that's an endless subject. Auroras, nebula, galaxies and novas describe things and power far beyond our human comprehension. More glory than we can even consider, but we will try in this fascinating hour with Dr. Faulkner. Dr. Danny Faulkner holds an MS in physics from Clemson University, an MA and a PhD in astronomy from Indiana University, and he taught at the University of South Carolina—Lancaster for over 26 years. He has published over 100 papers in various journals. He works as a researcher, author, and speaker for Answers in Genesis.

One of our favorite guests returns! Ronn Bauman is back to tell us about his experience at The Ark Encounter where we learn all about how Noah’s Ark is actually possible and what dinosaurs were on the ark. There is, of course, biblical evidence to back all of this up (no there isn’t)! Ronn also […]

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism.A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it.In part 11 we look at three parables to see if they lean more socialist or free market capitalist:The hidden treasure in the fieldThe pearl of great priceThe vineyard tenantsBecause the parable of the vineyard tenants is Jesus' ultimate parable about the history of Israel, one would think the illustration would be important. The vineyard owner took risks, set up capital equipment, and established a business. The vineyard laborers seemed to prefer a violent revolution and to take over ownership of the vineyard. This very "capitalist" illustration seemed to indict the rebellious Israelites for crucifying Jesus in ways that resembled modern Marxist actions.Scriptures Referenced:Matthew 21:33-46*** Castle Rock Women's Health is a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

Ken Ham is founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and its two life-changing attractions, the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Ken is a biblical apologist and author of more than 30 books. Some of his latest include Divine Dilemma (understanding death, disease, and suffering), Divided Nation (about today's culture wars), and the devotional commentary Creation to Babel. Ken is a blogger and speaker on Answers…with Ken Ham.Ken described the climate change movement as a religious, anti-God movement that causes man to become his own God. In this regard he described the time last year when John Kerry returned from the World Economic Forum. Kerry described how there's an elite group of people that will save mankind and the planet. That's unbiblical because it's God who saves, not man. So just as with the creation/evolution issue, the beliefs of people determine their worldview. That in turn determines how they'll view things like fossils, life, or in the case of this broadcast...climate. It appears to be all about fear mongering in order to obtain control. Why do we need carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Why is water vapor so important? Why is there an emphasis on not eating meat and not having children among the climate change crowd? Can man destroy the earth? Hasn't the climate always been changing? Does observational science compare with the information put forth by those spreading fear of climate change? Ken answers these questions, as he describes his new book, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Send us a Text Message.This week, Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the Democrat presidential ticket.Christian journalist Julie Roys, the same one who has tried to slander John MacArthur out of ministry, posted an article on her website that characterized Walz as a “Minnesota Lutheran dad”.But is that an accurate description of Walz? What has he said and what has he done in office? We will open the program this week with a deeper examination of Walz' worldview.Later in the program, we will also air more interviews from our Road Trip to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Mark Looy, co-founder with Ken Ham and chief communications officer of Answers in Genesis (AIG), will join us to talk about God's hand in the development of the ministry.Hope you join us for a packed program!-------------------------Two New Store Resources:Shepherds for Sale by Meg Basham - on sale for $26.39Who Am I?

In this episode of the New Evangelicals Podcast, Tim and April discuss various topics, including the controversy surrounding the Olympic opening ceremony, Trump's remarks at the Believers Summit, and their experience visiting the Ark Encounter. They express frustration with the outrage over trivial matters and the lack of attention given to more important issues. They also highlight the need for Christians to represent Jesus well and focus on issues that truly matter. In this conversation, Tim and April discuss various topics, including the controversy surrounding the Believer's Summit, the problematic views of Doug Wilson, Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, and the implications of Project 2025. They also touch on the absurd interpretations of the Olympic opening ceremony and announce their attendance at Theology Beer Camp. Takeaways The outrage over trivial matters distracts from more important issues that require attention. The focus on cultural controversies often stems from a weak and narcissistic form of evangelicalism. Jesus does not need defending; he needs people to represent him well. The interpretation of Trump's remarks at the Believers Summit can vary, but it is concerning to hear him suggest that Christians won't have to vote again. The outrage over the Olympic opening ceremony reflects a fear and discomfort with people living as their authentic selves. There is a need to prioritize issues such as genocide, poverty, hate, and greed over trivial controversies. The Believer's Summit sparked controversy due to the presence of controversial figures like Doug Wilson, whose views on sex and slavery are highly problematic. Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention was met with criticism, as he evaded direct questions and made insensitive remarks. Project 2025, a conservative playbook, continues to be a cause for concern, despite the director stepping down amid backlash from Trump. Tim and April will be attending Theology Beer Camp, an event that brings together theologians, podcasters, and individuals seeking a better way forward in their faith.

May 30, 2024 is a day that will live in infamy! Donald Trump became the first former President of the United States to be brought to court on felony charges and have a jury reach a verdict of guilty. Not to mention that this happened while he is currently running for President again and is the highest polling candidate.The ripple effects of this historical day will be felt indefinitely. The debates will rage over whether or not this was justice or merely political lawfare.In part 4, we cover the defense witnesses--such as they were. Trump decided not to testify. The judge's restrictions prevented a campaign finance law expert witness from testifying. After one paralegal briefly showed a chart, Robert Costello was the remaining witness.Costello's testimony resulted in the judge almost throwing out his testimony. Shenanigans or court decorum? You decide.Finally, the trial ended with closing arguments: Todd Blanche for the defense went first, and Joshua Steinglass for the prosecution followed.

Send us a Text Message.GUEST: KEN HAM, CEO and Co-Founder, Answers in GenesisWe just returned to Minnesota after a road trip to northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio to visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, both of which are Bible-based, gospel-proclaiming theme parks owned and operated by Answers in Genesis.Later in this weekend's program, Ken Ham, co-founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, will join us to recount the history of God's guiding hand in how these two attractions came to be and why the early chapters of Genesis are foundational to…well, everything.While on this trip, we watched in horror, like many of you, at the assassination attempt on former President Trump at a campaign event in western Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13. The God who “is sovereign over all”, including speeding bullets, chose to direct the bullet away from Trump's head by a mere quarter inch, wounding his ear instead. Positioned in the line of fire was Corey Comperatore, a husband and father and reportedly a Christ-follower, who took a bullet and was brought home to heaven. Two others were wounded.With US Secret Service and other law enforcement officers on site, it begs the question how the 20-year-old shooter was able to climb a ladder to the rooftop of a building just 160 yards away from Trump. Even more perplexing was how security allowed Trump on stage after being suspicious of the man hours earlier and rally-goers informing security about a man with a rifle on the roof minutes before shots rang out.I can see only two explanations for how this took place: either the Secret Service agency is unbelievably incompetent or someone (or several) with the governmental agency were intentionally attempting to assassinate former President Trump.We'll provide some reported details in the opening of the program and you can come to your own conclusion.-----------------Visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter - learn more or purchase tickets!
On Saturday, July 13, at a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Trump was giving an outdoor speech. Six minutes into it, gunshots were fired!The President felt one round whiz by his head. A second one bloodied his right ear. He ducked in the nick of time to avoid a third one that likely wouldn't have missed.Thankfully, he was Ok. He expressed valiance as his security detail escorted him out.The world-changing news just won't stop! The USA is careening toward third-world status.Please pray for former President Trump, the current President Biden, and for a true revival.Whatever happens in November, violent activism isn't the solution.

Send us a Text Message.My family and I are currently on a road trip to northern Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, both of which are owned and operated by Answers in Genesis, the ministry founded and led by Ken Ham, which boldly proclaims the authority of God's Word and the gospel.We have been conducting interviews with Ken and several others during the visit that we are going to air next week on the program. In fact, later in today's program, we are going to air a portion of one interview with Bryan Osborne, an author and popular speaker for Answers in Genesis that we did on site at the Ark Encounter following his presentation on the global flood detailed in Genesis 6-9.Before we get to that, we are going to air an interview our longer-time listeners may remember from back in 2016 with Michael Joens, an animator and creator of Theo, a 15-episode series dedicated to teaching children God's Word and the gospel.Joens is a highly credentialed animator, having worked for studios such as Hanna Barbera, Filmation, Warner Brothers and Marvel Productions.Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says, “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.“What are “these words” that are to be on our hearts and taught diligently to our children? Biblical doctrines—truths about God and how we are to live and worship Him.But how? How can we teach biblical truths or doctrines to children?One excellent way is through an animated cartoon series called Theo. Our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview is Michael Joens, the creator and director of Theo, a 15-episode animated cartoon series that we highly recommend and are offering to listeners.The production and teaching of biblical doctrines in Theo is of the highest quality and we encourage you to preview and order the series for your children and grandchildren. You will enjoy and learn too!--------------------------Related LinksTHEO - Volume 1, "God's Love" for a donation of any amount.THEO - Full 5-DVD Set for a donation of $50 or moreCreation Museum and Ark Encounter
We're celebrating the anniversary of the opening of the Ark Encounter by answering five common objections to the account of Noah's ark and the flood.
Does the account of the rich, young ruler in the gospels show that Jesus taught that we could obtain eternal life by keeping the commandments of the law to the best of our ability?It can seem that way--unless we really pay attention.Let's not gloss over the lesson Jesus taught not only to this rich, young man, but also to His disciples around Him and to us today.What are we trusting for God's acceptance? Jesus Christ Himself is the answer!Scriptures Referenced:Matthew 19:16-26Mark 10:17-27Luke 18:18-27*** Castle Rock Women's Health is a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

Ark Encounter is a Christian theme park that opened in Williamstown, Kentucky, United States, in 2016.[2][3] The centerpiece of the park is a large representation of Noah's Ark, based on the Genesis flood narrative contained in the Bible. It is 510 feet (155.4 m) long, 85 feet (25.9 m) wide, and 51 feet (15.5 m) high.
In today's episode, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar are joined by Ken Ham, founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis (AIG), the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter. Accompanying him is Joe Boone, the president of AIG. The conversation delves into the rich history of AIG, a ministry devoted to biblical authority, the gospel, and upholding the authority of God's Word. This ministry emphasizes the importance of believers being able to articulate and defend their faith.Joe Boone underscores the significance of apologetics by sharing a poignant story from his teaching experience. He highlights how unanswered questions often contribute to individuals leaving the church. The conversation encourages Christians to embrace an open dialogue about their questions, acknowledging that believers shouldn't have a blind faith but rather a reasonable faith that can withstand scrutiny.The name “Answers in Genesis” is derived from 1 Peter 3:15, a verse that calls on Christians to always be prepared to give an answer. The ministry's focus is on providing answers, with the realization that many of these answers are found in the book of Genesis. Genesis, specifically chapters 1-11, is considered foundational to everything, offering a worldview and essential information for building a biblical perspective.Joe Boone reflects on a transformative moment in his life that led him to his current work with AIG when he attended a homeschool convention featuring Ken Ham as the keynote speaker. Despite a personal loss, Ken delivered a powerful talk that left a lasting impact on several attendees. Ken, in turn, shares the influence of his father on his faith, highlighting his father's commitment to the Word. He stresses the importance of parents immersing themselves in God's Word to set a genuine example for their children.The conversation turns to the attractions in northern Kentucky: the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. The Creation Museum is described as a captivating walk through the Bible, featuring numerous exhibits that bring biblical narratives to life. The Ark Encounter, a full-size replica of Noah's Ark, stands as the largest freestanding timber frame structure in the world. Both attractions serve as powerful evangelism tools, providing answers with an apologetics emphasis.Listeners are encouraged to explore the Answers in Genesis website to learn more about the work happening with AIG and The Ark Encounter. The exhibits serve as impactful tools for evangelism and provide believers with an opportunity to engage with non-believing family and friends through the lens of biblical truths.Thanks for listening!

Can we REALLY believe in Noah's ark? Practically speaking, the idea of a massive flood, a giant ark, a rainbow covenant, and the preservation of animals through the care of one small family on an ancient ship sounds outlandish at best. But are there legitimate answers to some of the most common objections raised by skeptics in regards to this well-known Bible story? Earlier this month, Frank had the pleasure of visiting the Ark Encounter, which is an AMAZING exhibit that features a full-size replica of Noah's ark based on the dimensions specified in the Bible. During his time at the Ark Encounter, Frank got to meet up with the founder, Ken Ham, and The Ark's content manager, Dr. Timothy Chaffey. In this unique and exciting podcast episode, Tim joins Frank to answer some questions about Noah's Ark and The Ark Encounter such as: Around what time period did Noah enter the ark and how long did it take him to build it? How did Noah track down all the different animals? Could a million animal species fit on Noah's ark? What do young-earthers and old-earthers have in common? Is there evidence for a global flood outside of the Bible? What's the origin story behind the Ark Encounter and were Kentucky tax dollars used to fund it? Most atheists, scientists, and philosophers agree that space, time, and matter had a beginning out of nothing. While they won't admit that God is the cause, they are admitting the evidence for the Bible's greatest miracle--Genesis 1:1. And if Genesis 1:1 is actually true (and it is), then Noah's ark is certainly possible! This podcast episode will only scratch the surface in the discussion of Noah's ark, so be sure to pick up a copy of Tim's book 'Inside Noah's Ark: Why It Worked' (co-authored by Laura Welch) and add an Ark Encounter visit to the top of your bucket list!
