Creation Science in the Media
This section lists articles that appear in newspapers, magazines, online news sites, and in television.
Creationist preacher Ken Ham to ‘prove’ dinosaurs roamed with Adam and Eve - News.com.au (Australia). Rumor has it that Ken Ham will prove that dinosaurs are young by claiming there is soft tissue in some Edmontosaurus fossils that he obtained. Of course this is just strong words meant to influence his YEC followers, as scientists are sure to reject any claim he makes.

Scottish Government: Creationism Banned from Science Class - The Herald (Scotland)
Update from Scotland - NCSE
'Christian' Pastor Says Josh Duggar Did Nothing Wrong if Evolution is True - Raw Story
Answers in Genesis
Evolution (Not Creation) Is a God of the Gaps - Tuesday's article tries to shift the attention away from the many god of the gaps claims that are found in young earth creationism. True, creationism as a whole could be said to not be god of the gaps, but there are many thousands of arguments over the years from YEC ministries, that individually, are god of the gaps claims.
Amazing Ark Animals Being Sculpted for Ark Encounter - Monday's article is a plug for the Ark Encounter. Looks like they will try to include many extinct species from the fossil record to try to convince people that "the Flood did it."
Bird-Saving Spider Webs - Daily article for 24 May. Reports on the use of a feature of spider web that a glass manufacturer has copied and used to help save birds. Not an age of the earth issue.
Iceland and Gay Marraige - AiG discusses this issue on 23 May. Although not directly related to creationism, some believe it has implications in evolution, and the issue definately depends on your rules for Biblical interpretation. OEM does not usually comment on such issues, however, the person who runs OEM takes a literal, inerrant approach to the Bible, so he agrees with AiG on this issue.
Bill Nye Agrees: There's No Such Thing As Race - Daily article for 23 May.
Creation Ministries International
Dinosaur-faced Chickens? - As expected, young earth creationist ministries have replied to the science news article about chicken embryos with altered beeks.
Diamonds--Are they Really all that old? - Yes, it is true that you can create diamonds in a lab quickly. YEC's see this as proof of a young earth. However, diamonds found in nature were not created in a lab!
Near Death Experiences and the Authority of Scripture - CMI daily for 23 May. This is a response to feedback received, and is not related to age of the earth issues.
Institute for Creation Research
Remembering Mount St. Helens 35 Years Later - Due to this volcano showing that you can make landforms quickly (something old earth geologists already knew, becuase the rock record contains other examples), YEC's love Mount St. Helens. However, it does nothing to prove that the earth is young.
Creation Today & Other Minor YEC Ministries
Shocking News - Josh Duggar is a Sinner - True, and he took steps to address his behavior and should be forgiven.
'Christian' Pastor Says Josh Duggar Did Nothing Wrong if Evolution is True - News article about CT's Eric Hovind.

Did you know that you can be a Christian,
and believe that the earth is billions of years old? You can even
believe in evolution and be a Christian. There is no conflict
between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper
understanding how to merge science and the Bible. To learn more
