The Creation Museum is an outreach of Answers in Genesis, a non-profit ministry located near the Cincinnati International Airport, in northern Kentucky, USA. This 50,000 square foot facility will proclaim to the world that the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice and in every area it touches on. Scheduled to open in 2007, this "walk through history" museum will be a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture.

It'll be a "wonderful alternative" alright.

Just like when I used to read Tolkien at school when I was supposed to be reading my history textbook.

Yeah, I heard about this from Lord Robert Winston's documentary. Ken Ham didn't take too kindly to him questioning his beliefs and the validity of the museum.

Hey, for those who believe in that stuff, it's a great place to take the kids. I sincerely hope that no funding for the place was received through tax dollars, though.

I have never heard anyone complain about the "Magic Kingdom" at Disney World, although I could make some comparisons between the two places.

What is the relevance of your assertion that you "have never heard anyone complain about the "Magic Kingdom" at Disney World"?

I would like to hear your comparisons between the two places, by that I assume you mean the similarities and not the differences as you do not specify.

Would you explain why you consider it "a great place to take the kids" "for those who believe in that stuff" given the context of the following four blurbs:

"this "walk through history" museum will be a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture".

"Our increasingly anti-Christian country must return to a belief in the authority of the Bible and be presented with the life-changing gospel message. Evolutionary indoctrination has undermined the Christian foundations in America."

"Almost all natural-history museums proclaim an evolutionary, humanistic worldview. For example, they will typically place dinosaurs on an evolutionary timeline millions of years before man. AiG's museum will proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will show that there is a Creator, and that this Creator is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-20), who is our Savior."

"The 50,000-square-foot museum will be filled with life-sized dinosaur models, fossil and mineral collections, waterfalls, live exhibits (poison dart frogs, fish, turtles, bugs and more) and many other first-class exhibits that will proclaim the authority of the Bible from its very first verse."

One persons religious shrine is another persons Disneyland. Jimmy and Tammy-Faye Baker had some sort of Christian Disneyland they developed also ... just before they were sent to prison.

The Jews, the Muslims, and the Christians all have the very same "Holy Land", all for different reasons, for different saviors, and different faiths.

No one wants to take your fairytales away from you ... I think a good imagination is a fantastic thing.

Chumly- I would suspect that the people who take their children to that museum are those with a vested interest in the Bible and creationism. They are the folks who take their kids to church every Sunday, and take literally all the biblical injunctions. It is not a large conceptual leap to understand that this museum will be a delight to these sorts of parents.

As children, the young ones are exposed to many varieties of make believe, froim fairy tales to Disney world. I perceive this museum as simply another form of make believe. Hopefully, as the youngsters grow to adulthood, they will have the discernment to separate out truth from fancy.

Do I like the idea that kids are being taught make believe instead of truth? Of course not. But that is not my call. The parents who take their kids to this museum have the right to do so, whether I like it or not.

I would suspect that some children who buy into the things that are taught in this museum would have followed the message of the museum, even if it were never created. Hopefully, the more thoughtful youngsters will be able to see through the whole thing.

I go along with Phoenix on this one, to the extent that the proposed museum will not be inculcating something which is not already in prospect for the children concerned. At all events, "it's a free country," they have every right to do this.

I'd rather have children see "normal" adult sex, than be exposed to that pornography.

All well and good vis a vis freedom and imagination, but I contend that the Creation Museum goes beyond freedom and imagination into the realm of anti-science, anti-evidence, anti-reason and as such represents a threat to those self same freedoms and imaginations.

I have seen no such underlying intent from Disney.

This is quite the imperative rhetoric:
"Our increasingly anti-Christian country must return to a belief in the authority of the Bible and be presented with the life-changing gospel message. Evolutionary indoctrination has undermined the Christian foundations in America"

Adults who have sex in front of children are not normal, neither are those who think of it as normal.

Chumly,

What of the Sci-Fi movies with all the different species? The technology? Are these real? Are they anti-reason? I would say some definitely are, wouldn't you? Sure, it is commonly accepted that these are "fictional" I understand that. But, are they fictional in a child's mind? Don't some believe in this kind of thing?

I'm with Setanta on this one (don't faint anyone ), the right to have this museum is clear. Not visiting it is also a clear right.

While i don't think it wise to flagrantly engage in adult sexual practice in the presence of children, that statement is without foundation. Throughout most of history until quite recently, most people lived in hovels, and even when in furnished houses or rooms, frequently made do with a single, large bed. It has been common for most of human history for parents to engage in sexual intercourse in the proximity of their children, if not actually "on display."

One of the disgusting traits of christians is the constant attempt to dictate to everyone what is "normal."

You are qualifying here some hundredmillions of people to be not normal, besides nearly all of everyone's anchestor's - as Set already explained.

Thanx for that link Greyfan. That's pretty cool. I guess it's just like Disneyland in some respects, it's not for everyone. :wink:
