Great idea or greatest idea?

Horrible idea, it's a lot of money spent to perpetuate fairytales. I agree with one commentator's remark - a national embarrassment. I wish Ken Ham would go back to Australia and humiliate his own country in front of the world. I'm glad to see that you posted this question in the Mythology & Folklore section where it belongs.
Congratulations on your Best Answer, DawnL

I went to a creation museum near Glenrose Texas about fifteen years ago. It might even,still, be there. Some Christian friends, all working at the Uni, asked me to go. They started with a smile, half way through they had a frown, and after we were out of the owner's hearing they apologized for wasting my time. The three that organized the junket said their shouter had spoken of the museum making believers out of unbelievers. I guess the only thing proven was that faithful PH.Ds can be taken in by shouters like anyone else.
I got them grinning again by saying, "well, let's go to the nearby State park with the dinosaur tracks and we'll have some hot dogs and argue about the dinosaurs. I'll take the side that it was an amorous male after a female and Y'all can argue that one was trying to eat the other or they never existed.

Visit my museum in Pensacola, it's much better. Besides, I still need money to pay all my fines

I think it's great that they are showing that you can believe the Bible plainly and still have respect for operational science. I applaud that they spread the truth regardless of people who like to portray creationists as foolish and naive.

Total idiocy. It requires nothing more to disprove the bible other than a shovel and the ability to count: the annual layers of the Antarctic ice cap go back hundreds of thousands of years. No flood.

I think we ought to have a museum featuring a model of Terry Pratchett's Disc World, too.
That would be just as reasonable.
