<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This month, we are publicly launching a very special, much-needed, and powerful project for an end-of-year challenge. I believe you\u2019ll truly be excited by what we\u2019ve planned\u2014I\u2019m certainly excited! I can\u2019t wait!<\/div>\n
\n

Let me give you some background.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, we live in a culture that loves death! Now, I don\u2019t mean that people are doing it formally and intentionally\u2014of course, most would not see death as desirable. Rather, this love of death is the result of that which people love and brings much death to the culture\u2014and ultimately the\u00a0second death<\/i>\u00a0(eternal separation from God) for them.<\/p>\n

As I was thinking about this observation, I was reminded of Proverbs 8:36: \u201cFor whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD, but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the USA, 2020 is a major presidential election year. And there\u2019s no doubt one of the main topics that will be featured in the promises made by those running for the presidency and other elected positions will be where they stand on abortion.<\/p>\n

Most candidates, sadly, will gleefully shout their \u201clove of death.\u201d How? By promising to bring death to mothers\u2019 wombs! It\u2019s a shocking state of affairs\u2014downright evil! I believe abortion is the greatest holocaust ever! In our modern era, at least 1 billion children have been slaughtered by abortion worldwide, and about 60 million of those murders have occurred in the USA since the sacrifice of children to the \u201cgod of self\u201d was legalized in 1973.<\/p>\n

In fact, I call abortion \u201cchild sacrifice\u201d\u2014because that\u2019s what it really is! To me, there\u2019s no such thing as a so-called \u201cpro-choice movement\u201d\u2014it is a pro-murder movement.<\/p>\n

And consider just a couple of the many passages where God addressed child sacrifice in his dealings with the Israelites, such as:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you present your gifts and offer up your children in fire, you defile yourselves\u201d (Ezekiel 20:31).<\/p>\n

\u201cDeclare to them their abominations\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols\u201d (Ezekiel 23:36\u201339).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really, what the Israelites did in sacrificing their children to idols is no different from what\u2019s happening with abortion today\u2014only it\u2019s called \u201chealth care\u201d or some other name to try to hide the fact that it\u2019s actually the ruthless killing of human beings made in the image of God in their mother\u2019s wombs.<\/p>\n

We at Answers in Genesis stand against the abortion holocaust. We\u2019ve produced various DVDs, books, and articles dealing with this tragedy. This month, I wanted to let you know that we\u2019re launching a special Creation Museum project to build a powerful \u201cFearfully and Wonderfully Made\u201d exhibit. And here\u2019s what\u2019s also exciting: we\u2019re designing the first phase of the exhibit to be replicated as a mobile exhibit that groups of Christians or churches can obtain and display in their local communities.<\/p>\n

This large new exhibit will be designed and constructed by AiG\u2019s talented designers, artists, sculptors, and fabricators (with the assistance of our PhD scientists)\u2014the same team that produced the great exhibits at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. So you know this exhibit will be of spectacular quality!<\/p>\n

Let me walk you through an outline of what phase one will entail. Through the use of 3D models, signage, videos, and other creative and innovative displays, the following eye-opening content will be covered:<\/p>\n

Section A: Biblical Relevance<\/h2>\n

This section will start with The Wonder of Life. Here, the powerful words of the Psalmist will be brought to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother\u2019s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well\u201d (Psalm 139:13\u201314).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Fearfully<\/div>\n

Once this Scriptural foundation is established, our guests will then learn what it means that every person is created in the image of God. It\u2019s what makes us distinct from animals. In fact, we are created to rule over them (and to live forever):<\/p>\n

\u201cThen God said, \u2018Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.\u2019 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them\u201d (Genesis 1:26-27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because all people are made in the image of God, everyone is inherently valuable. And the unborn child is just as valuable as anyone else (Exodus 21:22). As a child in the womb, John the Baptist leaped in the presence of the unborn Jesus (Luke 1:41). Also, God has made each person unique! From the moment of fertilization, every person has a one-of-a-kind combination of DNA, half of which comes from the mom and the other half from the dad.<\/p>\n

Section B: Life in the Womb<\/h2>\n

This superb section of the exhibit will feature medical and scientific information about the sanctity of life. 3D printed models, vivid images, and informative videos will show the various stages of the baby growing in the womb. Nearby signage will explain certain key points of development, focusing on God\u2019s intricate design.<\/p>\n

\"Exhibit+<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

The next stage of this large exhibit will further highlight the sanctity of human life. All human life (regardless of age, ethnicity, physical condition, etc.) is created in the image of God and therefore has inherent value. Thus, we must oppose abortion and euthanasia.<\/p>\n

We will address the common objections raised by our culture against those who stand for a biblical pro-life view. Answers will be given to the following questions to help visitors gain the proper perspective and learn how to address these issues when they face them. (As Christians take a stand for the unborn, equipping them is essential.)<\/p>\n
