1 NSWERS A O U R T H E M E monthly newsletter equipping Christians to uphold the authority of the Bible from the very first verse update W E R E T A K I N G T H E M B A C K Christianity: child abuse? A virus? V O L U M E 1 3 I S S U E 3 Children are especially vulnerable to infection by the virus of religion. Richard Dawkins If someone had predicted thirty years ago that gay marriage would be legalized in some American states (and all across Canada), many in the church would have scoffed at the possibility. If someone had predicted sixty years ago that prayer, Bible reading and creation KEN HAM Worldrenowned speaker, author and president of AiG US. would be thrown out of America s public schools, well, most in the church back then would have also thought it to be ridiculous. But they have happened! Now, what if I said the following? If America continues on its present course of abandoning the absolute authority of the Word of God and teaching generations of students that they are the result of random natural processes Christians who teach their children to believe that God created in six days will have those same children taken away and the parents will be arrested for child abuse. Would you scoff and say, That could never happen here? Would you think that I m just over-reacting? Friend, that day may be closer than you think! In a TV program broadcast* recently throughout the United Kingdom (and no doubt soon to be shown on American television as well), the world s leading spokesperson on evolution, atheist Dr. Richard Dawkins of Oxford University, made these remarkable and shocking statements: I m very concerned about the religious indoctrination of children. I want to show how faith acts like a virus that attacks the young and infects generation after generation It s time to question the abuse of childhood innocence with superstitious ideas of hellfire and damnation. And I want to show how the scriptural roots of the Judeo-Christian moral edifice are cruel continued on page 2 wer singenesis.org Last-minute spots still open!

2 continued from page 1 and brutish. What in the 21st century are we doing venerating a book [the Bible] that contains such stuff? The raving continues After saying that religion is a form of child abuse, Dawkins tirade (he became very angry at times on the program) against Christianity did not wane: The God of the Old Testament has got to be the most unpleasant character in all fiction jealous and proud of it, petty, vindictive, unjust, unforgiving, racist, an ethnic cleanser urging His people on to acts of genocide.... ** When it comes to children, I think of religion as a dangerous virus. It s a virus which is transmitted partly through teachers and clergy, but also down the generations from parent to child to grandchild. Children are especially vulnerable to infection by the virus of religion. As you read such comments from atheistic evolutionists, you can see that it can often get quite emotional for them when they attack creation and intelligent design and get very upset when the arguments against evolution are presented (especially in public school science classes). While many secularists say that creation should not be allowed in public school science classes but should be relegated to the religion or philosophy class, a school in California was threatened with a lawsuit because the topic of creation was taught in a new philosophy course. The school dropped the course. Genesis can t even be discussed in a philosophy class! The bottom line Christianity is now marginalized in what was once the greatest Christian nation on earth. And the more control that secularists grab in this nation, the bolder they will become (following Dawkins example) in applying their atheistic philosophy which simply cannot tolerate Christianity and its We just came back from the [Wayne, NJ] conference extremely excited. I finally got some questions answered on why we are missing the mark in evangelism. We are very grateful to AiG for trying to teach us in all humility but with the strength of God s Word (and with a touch of humor thrown in). absolute morality. Yes, it could happen one day. In fact I believe that the die is cast and we will face that day in the not-too-distant future unless Christians start really believing the Bible and acting out their faith! If this generation fails to share the good news of the gospel, beginning in Genesis, your children or grandchildren may be accused of child abuse because they teach the Bible to their children. (Let s not forget the rapid cultural and social transformations of China, Russia, etc. in the first half of the 20th century.) That s why AiG produces and distributes so many DVDs and books, pours out information through the AnswersInGenesis.org website, produces radio programs and runs hundreds of The year started out with a large conference in Wayne, New Jersey (near New York City). About 6,000 young people and adults attended! We hope to see you next year at the museum if God wills it. M. & G., Walden, NY teaching conferences across the nation. Of course, it s also why AiG is building the Creation Museum (see next page), with the potential to infl uence millions and millions of lives. And that s why so many evolutionists are, frankly, afraid of AiG. Recently, BBC-TV in the United Kingdom aired a program hosted by Lord Robert Winston (a member of the British House of Lords) who interviewed me at the museum last year. Here is what Lord Winston declared: I ll admit I was dismayed by what I saw at Ken Ham s museum. It was alarming to see so much time, money and effort being spent on making a mockery of hard-won scientific knowledge. And the fact that it was being done with such obvious sincerity somehow made it all the worse. This is a reminder of the spiritual war we re in (Ephesians 6:10-20). And what a reminder that we need to be soldiers equipped with the whole armor of God so we can do battle for the souls of people. AiG is at the forefront of a massive battle over the 2

3 Big bird lands at Creation Museum! He s not yellow and does not live on Sesame Street, but he s definitely big! He won t sing songs or tell bedtime stories, but he will be part of the story of God s creation. Standing nearly eightfeet tall, this bird will exhibit features of the giant extinct moa, the ostrich, the rhea and even the emu. And it will be nesting in the future Creation Museum. The colossal bird will be set among other somewhat startling creatures in the museum s Garden of Eden scene a sloth, sheep/goat, anteater, rhinoceros and many more. But they will The sculptures look like they could come to life! look different from any modern animal we know today. Visitors will be reminded that God created animals according to their kinds. For example, the original dog kind was the ancestor of all dog breeds, as well as the wolf, coyote and jackal (and probably the fox). The appearance of the original dog kind remains a mystery to us, so we have carefully blended traits of all types of dogs. Talk about artistic liberty (but built on good research)! It is so encouraging to see our talented museum sculptors setting their creative gifts to the task of fashioning the incredible creatures of Eden. $25 million $20.2 million received as of Jan. 31, 2006 $342 K PER MONTH FOR A 2007 OPENING CREATION MUSEUM UPDATE Museum donations to date total $20.2 million.

Join us in contending for the faith against the onslaughts of evolutionary humanism which is intent on destroying Christianity. Please pray that we and you will not grow weary. Endnotes *Interestingly, the program was called The root of all evil? With this title, Dawkins is piggy-backing off I Tim. 6:10, but he, of course, is referring to religion as this root of all evil! ** For a rebuttal of this argument, see the chapter entitled the Character of God in the book Many Infallible Proofs by Henry Morris (see p. 9).

4 CREATION IN THE NEWS Science curriculum finally found! We have searched far and wide for a science curriculum that we could endorse. Well, after much research, we are delighted to announce that we finally found one; and we liked it so much we decided not only to endorse it, but to offer a publishing agreement with the authors and make it an AiG product! The God s Design series was written by Richard and Debbie Lawrence (right). Richard and Debbie are both electrical engineers and have homeschooled all four of their children, one of whom is now in college studying electrical engineering. Frustrated at trying to find a biblically based complete science curriculum, the Lawrences began developing the God s Design series in They published the first book in 2001, and now have eleven books in all (see pages 6 7). These excellent science books have been used by many, and have received outstanding reviews from both educators and homeschool parents. Go to our constantly updated website, and read fascinating articles on newsworthy topics like: the evolution wars in schools across America (in Utah, Kansas, Ohio, etc.) the TV documentaries on creation/evolution and AiG s controversial Creation Museum that are increasing in number the effectiveness of the Intelligent Design Movement Type in some of the key words above in the search box found on the top of our homepage and then see what pops up on your computer screen. Ken Ham, AiG president (right), holds up the contract signed with the Lawrences. The Lawrence s passion is to teach children the wonders of God s creation and instill a biblical worldview, showing how real science supports the biblical account of creation. The God s Design series is a complete curriculum for life science, earth science, physical science and Creation at Oxford U ntil recent times, Christians attending secular universities had very little access to biblical apologetics teaching on their campuses (and their on-campus Christian groups often were of no help, for most either promoted compromise views on Genesis or ignored the book altogether). Today in this information age, Christianity-defending teaching is readily available 24 hours a day for them: on the AiG website. A student at a prestigious university (where atheist and vehement anti-creationist Dr. Richard Dawkins teaches see pages 1 2) in England wrote us recently: I am a graduate entry medical student at the University of Oxford, with a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuroscience. I love the AiG website and chemistry. It is suitable for third through eighth grade students (some materials are for grades 1 2), and the lessons are short, easy to teach and flexible so parents can teach multiple ages at the same time. But short and easy does not mean lacking in substance God s Design books are very comprehensive. Most importantly, the books in the God s Design series approach science from a biblical worldview, emphasizing God s handiwork in the world around us. Using this curriculum will help strengthen your child s faith in the Word of God and build a biblical worldview. (See pages 6 and 7 or for more information on this wonderful resource now available from AiG.) have been deeply influenced by the logical and articulate arguments presented. Your hard efforts have provided me with a solid basis for answering questions and arguments from professors and fellow students. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do in clearly and accurately articulating the biblical account of origins.

The movement s trigger was the publication of a book: The Genesis Flood by Drs. John Whitcomb and Henry Morris. These men are recognized as giants in the battle for biblical inerrancy. Both men are in their 80s, yet remain active in the creation movement in their own ways. Dr. Morris continues to write and Dr. Whitcomb still has a busy and impacting speaking ministry. With this issue of Answers Update, we are pleased to announce Dr. Whitcomb s availability to speak on behalf of AiG. By the way, Dr. Whitcomb is an excellent and gracious presenter. In fact, he received a standing ovation when he finished his presentation on the Genesis Flood at AiG s Mega Conference last summer. Dr. Whitcomb can give a variety of non-technical talks on creation and the Flood. He will bless your church (or churches think about finding a few Biblebelieving churches to band together and promote a regional meeting in an adequate-sized facility to host this giant of the faith ).

12 Antibiotic resistance in organisms like bacteria is actually the opposite of molecules-to-man evolution. DID YOU KNOW? Resisting evolution Did you know that while evolutionists continually insist that evolution is science, I really think most of them don t fully understand it? The blatantly evolution-biased National Academy of Sciences has been sending books and other resources to public schools across America. These materials declare that evolution is fact. Many supposed examples of evolution are given for teachers to use in their classes. One example: antibiotic resistance in micro-organisms. Teachers (most of whom naively assume that textbook writers have proof for their statements) are told that this is an example of evolution that we see happening before our very eyes. But antibiotic resistance in organisms like bacteria is actually the opposite of molecules-to-man evolution. You see, most scientists know that when antibiotics are used, some bacteria already have genes to enable them to be resistant. This is an inherited resistance. Also, some bacteria can become resistant because of mutations (which are mistakes, that cause loss of information) in the genes. But loss of information is the opposite of evolution. It actually fits with Genesis, that things are running down because of sin (Genesis 3), not evolving!
