Life, the Universe & Everything: The Bible Versus the Search For ET?
Yesterday, a post entitled, “Do Aliens Have the Answers to Life?” appeared on Ken Ham’s blog on the Answers in Genesis website.

An Age of Credulity: Two More Drive-By Posts About the Ark Encounter Parrot the Same Old Lies
You know, I keep hearing that science is about facts and religion is about belief, so why is it that evolutionists cannot seem to get the facts about creationism right?
