Why So Much Interest in Magic?

Answers with Ken Ham

This is Ken Ham, head of the ministry behind the popular Answers Bible Curriculum.

Yesterday we learned there’s a university in the UK offering a masters degree in magic and the occult because of how quickly the occult is growing. But why is this?

Well, today’s generation is very secularized and atheistic, but they’re still made in God’s image. And even if they deny it with their mouths, they know they aren’t just a physical body or an animal. God has put eternity in their hearts so they long for something outside themselves. And, like all of us, their hearts are sick and deceived and they’ll turn to anything other than submit to God’s authority.

So what’s the answer? The same as it’s always been: the answer is the gospel!
