I think it's a disservice to all of mankind and promotes the dumbing down of society and the acceptance of ignorance.

So what colour are Adam and Eve going to be? The bible never did say what colour anyone was! Geeee...sigh. Will they wear fig leaves?Will the horses be Thoroughbreds or Arabians?
Seriously, if it were the 'real' history of Creationism 'that' would be very interesting...though somewhat disturbing...morbidly fascinating. It is not going to be a true museum though is it?
My father was a museum professional and I don't believe that this is able to fall under that category unless someone has been tampering in order to get it in. Really, that is true.
If it holds religious artifacts dealing in that subject it could be a legitimate museum. But it isn't is it? It would have stick to that without becomming biased. Museums have already been going through a long intense purge in order to rid themselves of this kind of thing. It would set the profession back in a very serious way. I doubt they could become legitamate.
What it is is a fantasy park isn't it?. A museum has to have a sincere objectivity. It is a place of collections, artifacts and evidence. Even what are called living or reenactment styles of museums are based on archaeological and scholarly evidence.
No, it is not right. They are fighting the dinosaur bone evidence and other things like that so that htey can convince their children that the story is real. I ran into a teen recently that thought dino bones were faked. I was so shocked.
I am an artist with a very good eye and a solid understanding and knowledge of forgery in art. It is hard to fool a microscope darlins! I have met museum people, archaeologists and historians all my life and that! is insane! I know what pains these people go through to authenticate and piece these things together! No, no and no. NO!
Peace and the light of truth!

Even before I was a Christian, there were 2 things about museums that really bothered me. One was that beside an exhibit of say, a piece of a bone, would be a large sign with an explanation and DRAWINGS of what the bone supposedly came from. It was all just speculation. I could never find actual evidence or photographs of evidence that showed that any transitional forms of animals ever existed.
The other thing that bothered me was that with each new "discovery", there came a miriad of new questions. There seemed to be no real answers.
So I always had doubts about evolution. When I began to seriously think about creation and the historical record found in the Bible, I found solid answers. For example, a worldwide flood can easily explain most of the fossil record, among other things.
I was always thought it would be great to have a museum that presented the other side. So I have been very excited since Answers in Genesis announced their intentions about 10 years ago. In fact, I am a charter member of the Creation Museum. I have already made reservations, and will be visiting the museum, with my children, in a few weeks. I would encourage you all to be open-minded enough to at least check it out before you attack it.

Stone Mountain, GA has a Gallery of Creation. It's pretty cool, even to a nonbeliever, because the guy who started it does animatronics, so there's a whole bit where a lion and a lamb are talking to each other. It's far out. I'd recommend it.
I can only imagine the Creation Museum will be almost as awesome.

This world is a CREATION MUSEUM...
The problem is the people ignore the museum
guide book - the Bible - that explains the world.
Why is there death and suffering, what is the reason and purpose of this world and why are we here?
It is sad we need a Museum to teach us the basics
that the Bible teaches so plainly and clearly. Evolutionism has biased and blinded its followers so the museum is a good thing to get people to face the facts that have been
censored for years...

I think that if someone wants to open a museum then that is their choice and right.
There are museums dedicated to shoes, Food Boxes, bad art,bananas, barbed wire, jell-o and more.
I can see how these show the the intelligence of society *sarcasm*
If you don't like the museum, then don't go to it.

It's good that Creation Scientists are presenting true science, and how it fits in with the biblical aspects of the origins of life.

Being agnostic, I think it's a big joke. But, hey, it's not hurting anyone, if that's your thing, go and enjoy.

I think it is an affront to science and education. It should not be considered a museum, and the people behind it should be ashamed.
