Creationism Museum To Open Next Year (Kentucky)

wonder if the local public school children will be taken there for field trips :eyes:

PETERSBURG, Ky. --Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the Earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve.

That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that's the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky.

Its inspiration is the Bible -- the literal interpretation that contends God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them just a few thousand years ago.

"If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that's our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there," museum founder Ken Ham said during recent tour of the sleek and modern facility, which is due to open next year.

Visitors to the museum, a few miles from Cincinnati, will be able to watch the story of creation unfold in a 180-seat special-effects theater, see a 40-foot-tall recreation of a section of Noah's Ark and stare into the jaws of robotic dinosaurs.

"It's education, but it's also doing it in an entertaining way," Ham said.

Mark Looy, a vice president at Answers in Genesis, said the museum has received at least $21 million in private donations. He said two anonymous donors have given $1 million, and he expects the museum to be debt-free when it opens next May.

that had a creationism amusement park or something and got busted over tax fraud?

There's a great deal of inter-Nicene conflict within the anti-science fundie community. Ham and his group look down on Hovind (aka Dr. Dino) who runs Dinosaur Adventure Land. Sounds like this is going to be a much more high end thing, DAL is a glorified playground.

:rofl:

You're such a hippochrist.
