This is Ken Ham, inviting you to visit the full-size Ark attraction in Northern Kentucky.

What the researchers discovered was a well-preserved, nearly complete baby ape skull. They even admitted the skull belonged to a creature that was fully ape! So why all the hype? Well, due to evolutionary ideas, the age assigned to this fossil placed it somewhere deep in our ancestry. But nothing about the skull pointed to a shared ancestry with humans! In a biblical view, we understand that this skull represents the remains of a variety of ape buried in a post-flood catastrophe—and that’s it! Dig Deeper It Is What It Is! and It’s Not What It’s Not! Do Humans and Chimps Share a Common Ancestor?
