My children WON'T be learning that, thanks.
As for the backwards hicks in Kentucky, they can build all the temples to their own ignorance that they like.
(I don't mean ALL Kentuckians are backwards hicks. Hell, I used to live in Kansas. The ones who put up this museum, though, are pretty obviously knuckle-draggers.)
Except then I read this: "A Gallup poll last year showed almost half of Americans believe that humans did not evolve but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years."
Something REALLY needs to be done here.

My children were never exposed to superstitious beliefs. They're grown up not with no superstitions at all. I had to fight my way through all kinds of stupid superstitions about spells, curses, evil eyes, fortune telling, gods, angels, devils, and so much more garbage, it's a wonder that humanity survived.
We're still not there, though. People still believe so much foolishness. Right here on Answers, we get so many questions about Zodiac - - pure superstition. Religions - - - pure superstition. Meaning of dreams - - - pure superstition.

I want them to have an open mind, so I would tell them this museum is put up by those with another belief, but that they should study all the science and make up their own minds using hard judgment. I am confident that they would see it for the crackpot deal that it is.

No. I would take my children to visit the museum though. I would like to expose them to a broad range of ideas and theories, no matter how absurd.

I want my child to be aware of it. I want him to hear about evolution and creationism. I want him to learn about Atheism, and Christianity, and Buddhism, and Islam, and Hinduism. I want him to learn about all these things so that he can live his life and make decisions based on facts.
You see, I want him to be able to answer my last question on Yahoo answers before he makes a choice about creationism or evolution. Interestingly no one here can answer it.

No. Actually, hell no.
I'm just glad that stupidity is in Kentucky, not the state where I am at. I think it's both hilarious and sad at the same time.

No, I mean it's a lie not to mention I heard that this museum is right next to the It's ok to marry your cousin Museum.

Absolutely not. Creationists are pseudoscientists and as long there is a thing called Reason this will not pass to any sane parent/person.

I am not christian, but I would love my children to learn from all experiences. I don't desriminate against any religion as long as they stop trying to convert us, and learn from and respect one another.
