Answer 1

I suppose the reason for them establishing a museum that tries to substantiate something as dubious as Creationism, instead of funneling their money into more charitable causes is because their faith is legalistic, and therefore far from conforming to the precepts of Christ. They would rather justify the mythic minutia of Genesis, than follow the injunctions of Christ to be self-sacrificial and benevolent towards the less fortunate because :

1. The former is easier to do than the latter
2. Their faith is so weak they truly cannot act in accordance to their Savior, so they partake in this “intellectual” exercise in order to compensate for their lack of faith and obedience to their Lord.

Answer 2

I see, then you think it's a waste of money to teach people about creation, which in this instance is not entirely correct as the earth is billions of years old and creation lasted more than just 6 days, actually man has only been here a little over 6000 years, animals have been here longer by a big spread. But what about the billions upon billions of dollars wasted going into space, for what purpose, we are never going there to live because the earth was created as our home, how much money has been wasted trying to promote evolution which is a farce? Let's see, you could feed 27 million hungry people one or two meals then your back to square one, 27 million hungry people the following day, or you can spend 27 million dollars promoting the word of God which leads to everlasting life which is worth far more than refined gold, you add it up, preaching the good news of God's kingdom is of the greatest worth. www.watchtower.org. By building a museum he is creating jobs which he can hire poor hungry people that will then be able to eat and feed and clothe their children for life, ever think of that?

So when Trump opens a casino instead of feeding the poor is he also wrong? Or when you eat out instead of saving that money and giving it to the poor are your wrong? How much time and money have you given to the poor the last few years? Check this fact out. Christans are the most giving people in all the world. More christian orgs feed MORE people in the world than all the other religions and all the other country's COMBIND! You ever hear of Mother Theresa's work? Yep shes was a christian Feed The Children ( Christian) MOST (80%) of the soup kitchens around the US ( Christian) Compasion International feeds THOUSANDS of childern around the world (Christian) Christian children fund etc.... You add it up.

Answer 4

Well building a museum is just a waste of money, comparitive to a human being; because a man is far more important than musem so built, no matter how great that museum is or for what - one person is a celebration of life!

Answer 5

What this man is doing is an abomination to the Lord and he will pay dearly for it with his soul. There is no historical evidence that man and dinosaurs co-existed at the same time. I do not believe in the 6000 year time line that some theologians pander, but i do not believe in Fred Flintstone either. Too much money is being wasted on idiotic projects like this, when the money would be better spent building up our society. This is the great sin of America---commercialism. Instead of one half-million people going to Kentucky to visit a silly museum, Kentucky would be better off if that same one half-million people donated their services and money to helping the needy people of that state.

Answer 6

ya creationism is a lie a proven lie with mounds of evidence what do they have a book written by some people recording what they thought of the world religious books are tainted by what they people writing the wanted to put in because they thought it made scene back in that day its all an assumption . if people didn't like what it said they took it out or changed it all to there benefit why people choose to believe it is because people will just accept what people tell them. they don't want to look at the facts themselves that want it to be easy just follow don't look at the facts yourself . why would you look at the facts when you could spend so much money building a museum that cost 27million .which could have fed so many people found ways to make it they could fed themselves and be self sufficient.na, where not going to do that were going to celebrate a lie. where is the logic in that?

Answer 7

Where is it our responsibility to feed the poor?

The poor of today has it many times better than the kings of old.

Now many of the poor and homeless are in their situation by personal choices and bad decisions?

Answer 8

There are plenty of museums out there that celebrate a lie (evolution) Its refreshing when a man of Christ wants to spread the truth of creation by putting up a museum as such brother Ham's.

Answer 9

Answer 10

$27 million down the drain-what a waste. Still it might provide some people with a bit of amusement. N.B. None of those involved in the project are actually qualified biologists but they want to educate people about biology.
