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 i am ashamed v O l U M e 1 3 i S S U e 1 2 Jesus Christ was a young-earth creationist. As a speaker and writer with AiG, I get all sorts of correspondence. This one arrived by and was from a former pastor. He said: I just finished watching Millions of Years: Where Did the Idea Come From? for the second time in as many days. Dr. Mortenson nearly brought us both [the wife, too] to tears. Both of us are Christian college and seminary grads who NEVER had anyone but progressive creationist or theistic evolutionary professors. Your case for a biblically grounded hermeneutic with respect to Genesis was well made, cogently articulated, and more than a little scary. DR. TERRY MORTENSON Speaker and author for aig US Thank you for your EXCELLENT lecture. It kept gaining intensity from the truth you proclaimed as you went further into it! In a follow-up he went on to explain that: Although raised to believe in a literal Genesis, my education in a leading Christian college and academically top-flight evangelical seminary convinced me that I would have to accept millions of years. He then told me he was ashamed to admit that although he believed the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, he had for years told his church that the age of the earth doesn t matter as long as we affirm the literal creation of Adam and reject Darwinian evolution. In the early 1990s, one of his laypeople persuaded him to have AiG President Ken Ham speak in his church. He testified that while I found his biblical creationism engaging and strangely persuasive, the depth of my indoctrination into the millions of years view kept me from doing any follow-up investigation on my own. So he just continued on in his compromised view that the age of the earth doesn t matter. As the question of origins became more of a public continued on page 2 wer singenesis.org Have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year to serve the Lord! this issue december Museum race 4 Bahamas bounty 5 11 Upcoming events 12 evolutionist evangelists Six pages of special offers!

2 2 continued from page 1 Answers in Genesis presents... Answers debate, he found it more difficult to ignore the issue. After hearing that two of his favorite theologians, Dr. Albert Mohler and Dr. R.C. Sproul Sr., advocated the young-earth view and then remembering how impressed he was with Ken s talk years ago, he found his way to the AiG website and began purchasing materials to study. The truths he learned radically changed his view. We praise God that he is one of an ever-increasing number! A few weeks ago after I had spoken in a church in Illinois, a lady in her 70s told the pastor: I m so ashamed that it took me this long to realize that the Bible is true. Just before my seminar she had actually told the pastor s wife: You can t really believe all the Bible. Such is the faith-shattering impact of the belief in millions of years. Hearing the truth of Scripture and some of the scientific evidence that confirms that truth liberated her. The age of the earth is a vital doctrine. It s important because acceptance of millions of years: contradicts Genesis clear teaching about the age of the earth. (The days of creation were literal days because Genesis 1 defines them as such in verses 5 and 14, Genesis 1 numbers them and associates them with evening and morning; 2007 family camp Apologetics for the whole family!

My biology prof. continuously assaulted creationism, and just fell short of calling it sheer stupidity. When I openly revealed my position, he made me out to be a fool to my classmates, even though I held the top very good ) involves the acceptance of anti-biblical philosophical/religious assumptions that are at the root of this millions-of-years idea. Our just-released New Answers Book (p. 5) has chapters dealing with the important subjects of radiometric dating, why Christians shouldn t accept millions of years, and the fact that Jesus was a young-earth creationist. May our Creator help each of us not to cave in to the cultural pressure to accept the false belief in millions of years. Let s not be ashamed to believe His holy Word from the very first verse and to proclaim its truth with boldness and graciousness. position in all the classes he taught. My faith verged on breaking; however, God used the books distributed by AiG to open my eyes. I will begin my first year of medical school, and as a youth Sunday school teacher, I join you in upholding the truth of all of God s Word. N. A., Iowa

3 The race is on! As the new year rapidly approaches, the Creation Museum team is racing for the finish line of opening day. Every day sees something new at the museum site near the Cincinnati Airport cats, bears, deer, and, yes, even dinosaurs.

Further down the museum s corridors, new murals bring life and color to the creation walk, and blank walls are being transformed into brick, stone, or wood. There s so much going on! Please pray as scores of skilled and dedicated workers now enter the final sprint of this years-long race. In particular, ask God to keep the museum staff and contractors safe and to provide much needed finances. Actually, the end of this race is a whole new beginning: the opening of a national center that will proclaim biblical truths and the gospel message in a way never seen before! We expect the faith of hundreds of thousands to be deeply strengthened each year, and untold numbers of souls to be saved! Museum sculptors work with amazing skill and speed. They are knocking out a to-do list of over 30 major animals, plus hundreds of museum props and characters. did you know that the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky (west of the Cincinnati i airport) is just a 5-hour drive from Pittsburgh (the blue star)?

CReaTiOn MUSeUM UPdaTe Wonders for her faith I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your ministry. I grew up in an atheistic home, and when I came to a knowledge and love of Christ, I realized there was still something missing: I still believed in millions of years and I couldn t reconcile that with the Bible. I came across your ministry maybe about a year and a half ago, and it has done wonders for my faith. I now understand (if not perfectly, at least better) that the Bible is always right. Thank you for such a great job, and I look forward to visiting the museum when it s ready. H.W., Georgia Blessings put into proper perspective I am more thrilled every time I receive an AiG newsletter. What you people are doing is totally awesome. I get goosebumps and want to laugh and cry, pray and rejoice. Keep up the good work. Blessings, blessings, blessings on you. But don t get the big head. Is there anything you have that you did not receive? In humility and strength go forth, and may the enemy tremble. God bless you all. I wish I had a million dollars to send you. E. E., Tennessee 3

12 Billions of tax dollars are spent to train up children in an anti-christian worldview. did YOU KnOW? Training up evolutionists? Did you know that most atheists and evolutionists in their own way acknowledge the truth of Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it? It s so important for believers to understand that in these challenging days, Christian parents must give their children a firm foundation on the Bible and its practical truths. But in their own perverse way, secular evolutionists also understand what this verse means. They want to teach children that we re just animals who have evolved through millions of years of death and suffering. Just think of the morality that goes with that! Yet the government gives billions of your tax dollars to secular institutions to train up children in an anti-christian worldview. Sadly, many parents naively think that as long as they take their children to church on Sunday morning, they will learn a worldview based on the Bible. But think about it: one or two hours in church once a week simply isn t a match for five days in a public school plus secular TV, evolutionary science museums, etc. Yes, evolutionists are trying to train up a child your child! Instead, we must teach young people to stand on God s Word because it really is accurate from the very first verse.
