Why is the opening of the new Creation Museum taking such heavy fire from the, seemingly, most "open-minded"?

Answer 1

Because the museum is ignorant, not open minded. Go to a library for once.

Answer 2

It can be summed up in this I think...


"Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist." --C. S. Lewis

The debate on 24 hour day and old earth will go one in and outside the Church until Jesus's return I have no doubt but on God doing the creating Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine said "The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."

Even Professor Antony Flew the former atheist (30+ years of speaking as an atheist) that had debated men such as C.S. Lewis recently said that the latest biological research "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved."

Answer 3

It strikes me as hysterical that the humanist/skeptic group that calls themselves "FREE INQUIRY" are actually against "FREE INQUIRY".

The Creation Museum actually presents both views and and lets the visitors judge and weigh the evidence themselves. The Creation Museum should be supported by the "FREE INQUIRY" groups. I don't expect it anytime soon, because their bias and assumptions will not allow that to happen because they are against questioning Evolution. Why,
Because if people are given the evidence that puts evolution in a bad light, they may not believe it... and that is against their religion.

Why do they even care if people believe in God or not? What does it matter to them. They reject the idea that there could even be a Creator God. What do they fear? Perhaps they fear, being exposed as fools?

Question Evolution

Answer 4

Because they're calling it science, which is incredibly misleading, because:

1) Creationism is not a science.
2) Less than one tenth of a percent of biologists agree with anything that's in there.
3) No decent biologist in the country even thinks that anything in that museum COULD be true.

There are many people who are going to go to that museum and come way thinking that some scientists are actually entertaining these ideas, like the thought of dinosaurs and man co-existing -- and they're not. It's blatant misinformation, and it's wrong.

Answer 5

One reason is , I understand, they think because the Bible does say "One day with God is a thousand years." that the earth is only 6,000 years old.

They fail to recognize "days" can be of varied lengths. Creative days were about 7,000 years each, plus there is an undetermined time between one day ending and another day beginning. Science clearly shows it was longer just for the earth to cool from dust to rock.

I'm not sure of other things but I remember this from a news program interview.

Answer 6

Because they are not as "open minded" as they claim. This is the true test. They got an F. lol Personally I think it's hillarious to read all the lame excuses WHY they won't go, OR wouldn't go, and it boils down to them having 100% faith in secular scientists, and the inability to be as open to Christian scientists finding and anything that might collaborate with the bible. They may have to change their hard nose view.. horrors!!

Answer 7

I wonder how you'd feel about a museum founded on the notion that God himself was the general manager of the Boston Red Sox.

Answer 8

Because people will be using it to educate their children and that's irresponsible. Open minded is one thing. Completely ignoring reality, logic and common sense is something else.
