How can a museum teach history using the bible? Ridiculous?

Question

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.

Ham, an Australian native who started the Christian publishing company Answers in Genesis in the late 1970s, said the goal of his privately funded museum is to change minds and rebut the scientific point of view.

"We're going to show you that we can make sense o

that we can make sense of the different people groups, we can make sense of fossils, we can make sense of what you see in the world," he said.

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.

Answer 1

What a pathetic man. To feel the need to discredit science because it clearly discredits a holy book written in the bronze ages. How did this man get enough funding? Are there others that actually believe that adam and eve were buddies with the dinosaurs? Why aren't these people ridiculed and shamed?

Answer 2

It will last a few years as a novelty, kind of like Ripley's, but once the novelty wears off it will fold like a house of cards because most people will not go and see that.

Answer 3

The faux museum you speak of is indeed misleading!!Ham is a joke and wants everyone to believe that he knows what he is talking about. He knows NOTHING and IS a LIAR!
