As you may know, Answers in Genesis has opened a huge Creation Museum in Kentucky. On Ken Ham’s blog, he gives some responses by people at the University of Cincinnati.
“What I have a problem with is how the Answers in Genesis movement twists science — repeatedly taking facts out of context — in order to [...]
There’s a story on Yahoo that reports that the murder rate in the US is going up.
The FBI reported that the number of violent crimes nationwide went up by 1.3 percent last year, following a 2.3 percent increase in 2005. That had been the first rise in four years and the biggest percentage gain in [...]
