The Creation Museum Inside & Out

We visited the Creation Museum this weekend. The photo shows one of the sculptured dinosaurs on display inside. The lily, pictured below, is on display outside in the museum's botanical garden.

The Creation Museum is located in Petersburg, Kentucky just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio. The museum has been opened about a year and a half. They had 400,000 visitors in their first year and over 4,000 visitors a week ago Saturday.

The museum not only has a variety of displays, but endless looping audio-visual presentations that enhance the physical displays. There is a Walk Through the Garden of Eden, and a Special Affects theater. A well stocked bookstore is centrally located. We happened to take in an hour long lecture by a human biologist who's lecture answered the question, "Is Creation Relevant in Today's World?"

A pond graces the grounds of the Creation Museum. A variety of God's creation beautify the botanical garden across the pond that sits in front of the museum's entrance.

The Creation Museum tells the Biblical story of the origin and history of life and man on earth. This stands in stark contrast to the secular humanistic account found in most of this nation's natural history museums. Unafraid to share the story of evolution as purported by the secular scientists and academics in many of the displays the two accounts are laid out side-by-side for the visitor to consider.

.

The contrast of the explanation of the beginning of life could be summarized in what each worldview considers the age of the earth. Biblical creation considers the age of the earth to be six thousand years, while secular evolution considers the earth's age to be billions and billions of years old. Ultimately it comes down to faith. Faith in God and the Bible versus faith in man and fantastical, unproven evolution. One is right and the other is wrong. Based on the evidence I saw on Saturday, Biblical creationism takes less faith than secular evolution as an explanation for the origin of man.

The Creation Museum is a family-friendly vacation destination or get-away excursion. There is even a petting zoo for the kids. The museum sits at the intersection of education and amusement. I recommend an annual trip to every American and visitor to America, especially Christians and those who reject the predominate religion found in our government schools and institutions of higher or advanced propaganda. It is the movie Expelled on permanent display.
