The Creation Museum

"The Creation Museum is a 60,000 square foot, $27 million museum in the United States designed to promote young Earth creationism. The museum presents an account of the origins of the universe, life, mankind, and man's early history according to a literal reading of the book of Genesis. Its exhibits assert that the planet is just a few thousand years old and that man and dinosaurs once coexisted, a view contrasting with the findings of over 99% of the scientists in relevant fields who accept that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, and that the dinosaurs became extinct 65.5 million years before human beings arose.[1] The museum has generated criticism by the scientific community, several groups of educators, several Christian groups, and in the general press.[2][3][4][5]

The museum is privately funded through donations to the apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis and opened its doors to the public on May 28, 2007.[6] Based on projections, the museum is anticipating 250,000 paying visitors in its first year of operation.[7]"

Interesting museum. I like the rafting story, because it's bit far fetched.

20 dollars!, I have already found a coupon which will give me a $5 discount! (When are we going?) They also have a planetarium!

About asking questions, I always thought all humans die, no matter if they questioned the word of God?

If that's true, I feel a little bit like the snake from Eve's garden. (Don't tell God)
