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

FreeDumb doesn’t preen, he just let’s his feathers deteriorate. That is why he is a flightless bird. He calls that “evolution.”
That's a straw man argument. I don't know any religious believer that wants to do away with science. The scientific method has been a boon for mankind. I appreciate science and its contributions to our health, wealth, and standard of living.
I do have a problem when faith in science tries to supplant faith in God. There is enough doubt and contradictory evidence about evolution to warrant an opposing viewpoint being presented.
But that might upset the current consensus apple cart and challenge the secular-humanist government-sponsered psuedo religion taught to our children.
Can't have independent thinking along THOSE lines now can we?
Oh, drat! Looks like I killed another thread. Is it just me or does it happen to you too?
Why do you say false clues? It’s apparent that God made Adam as an adult, so it stands to reason He could do whatever he wanted in making the earth, including making it appear older than it is.
” largely because of its literal interpretation of the Bible. “
I guess I missed the part in the Bible where it discusses man riding around on saddled dinosaurs ....
You are correct, but Darwinist liberals created that nonsensical strawman argument, attacking creation, because liberals don't like the Bible.
Conservatives agree it is shameful to see liberal DU attacks repeated on Free Republic.
Actually, I find it rather amusing that these guys can scam the willing, again and again ....
Sometimes straw men and ad hominem are all they have left.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Roger that—GGG
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping!
“This is religion — you shan’t be hearing from me again.”Hehe …

Thanks. I’ll save that for when I need it.
I am sure evolutionary biologists look at the Creation Museum as being as much an existential threat as the Flintstones cartoon.
YABBA DABBA DOOOOOOO!!!!!!
