The controversial Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., marked its second anniversary this past week with slightly lower numbers than its first year but with much excitement.
“We enter our third year excited about the growing opportunities the museum provides for reaching people with the creation gospel message,” commented Ken Ham, the founder and president of the 70,000-square foot museum.
“We believe God is using us to make a difference in our post-Christian culture, and we will continue to do everything we can to help believers defend the Word of God, from the very first verse,” he added.
When the museum first opened to the public on May 28, 2007, it drew a great deal of media exposure, largely because of its literal interpretation of the Bible. Packed with high-tech exhibits that include animatronic dinosaurs and a huge wooden ark, the $27-million museum attempts to align the Bible’s literal account of creation with natural history. The museum’s staff and founder, like many other Young Earth creationists, believe dinosaurs appeared on the same day God created other land animals

Hey guy, you might want to alert your ping list.
Creation Museum 1 year Anniversary ping.
Does this mean that the earth is now 6,001 years old?
Probably closer to that than 4,600,000,001.
>>But it is amusing how much this must aggravate the hell out of the radical evolutionists.
As opposed to what? Radical mathematicians who say that pi is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space? Hee Hee, how fun it is to get their goat when we all know pi can be adjudicated to be 3.131!
And those silly radical physicists who use trigonometric vector addition to describe the effects of known physical laws. Haw Haw, how silly they are to know that their calculations are all wrong since the Universe is 6.000 years old.
Math, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy — how silly the followers of these are.
I mean, all ideas are equal when you remove scientific requirements.
I personally don't believe in witchcraft but the science is the same as the Creation Museum.
This is religion — you shan’t be hearing from me again.
Ping!
>>I do not get how aggravated people get over this museum. Just don’t go.<<
I am thinking of opening a “astrology museum” as an alternative to that silly “astronomy” that is taught in schools.
The underlying science doesn’t matter at all. I can show that when the Moon is in the 7th House that it is completely scientific and people should understand that it is The Man who keeps it under lock and key!
Most of your pingees don’t even believe that Humans and Dinosaurs lived together.
There may be interesting dichotomies of interpretation of Genesis (really, the only basis for debate), but the intelligent ones don’t see Fred Flinstone’s Bedrock as ever having happening.
Kool. It could be interesting. Good luck.
Npw there is a liberal in the white house, I might be able to get a grant to start one.
It will have a heck of a lot more scientific basis than this so-called “museum.”
Understandable. Opinions come cheap when you don’t have a clue as to what you’re talking about.
Don’t they?
There is indeed a diversity of opinion on my ping list. However, we are all united in our opposition to Darwin’s discredited Evo-religious creation myth.
This is the religion forum.
Please do not use personal attacks.
I am already edging, so will desist from here on out.
