Armenia Praise Report!

Many people say that the day of mass evangelism is over – but look at what happened in Armenia – this demonstrates the miraculous power of God!

Swine flu—Is it evidence of evolution?

Just as with AIDS and avian influenza (‘bird flu’), the latest virus alert is being hailed as proof that evolution is true.

In some places (e.g. Egypt), pigs were slaughtered in an effort to guard against swine flu. But with human-to-human transmission of the virus now confirmed, authorities in countries like Australia are looking to increased quarantine measures, including school closures and travel restrictions, to limit its spread.

A real floating Ark makes headlines

around the world

There's been lots of publicity of late regarding Johan Huibers' “Ark” replica (Creation 30 (4):12–14, September 2008), with many people emailing press reports/photos from around the world. But those reports don't make clear the key message of the replica, viz., that the Bible can be trusted! Hence we have decided to break our usual 12–month web embargo, and make available our online archive of the Creation magazine article right now while public interest in the “novelty” of Johan's “Ark” is so high. Our hope is that Christians will let their friends and acquaintances know of the article, which clearly states Johan's passion and reasons for constructing his “Ark”—i.e. to proclaim the Good News of our Saviour Jesus Christ. This is a great article about the truth of the Ark to forward around.
