Visit the Creation Museum

(From Ken Ham's blog)

If you haven’t been to the Creation Museum, then read this email and see if it encourages you to do so soon:

“… our family went to the Creation Museum … The area has much to see … There’s more than enough at the Creation Museum to keep your family busy and interested for at least a day, more likely 2 days. The Cincinnati Zoo is nearby and is rated in the top 5 zoos in the country …. [The museum] far exceeded our expectations. It is equal in quality to the world class museums we have visited - British Museum in London, Smithsonian in Washington, etc. - but unlike those government funded museums, this museum’s purpose is to glorify God and show that the physical world we can observe today is explained better by God’s account in Genesis than by an evolutionary paradigm.

“I thought the quality was better as well. Like the governmentmuseums, it had first class displays, fossils, etc. However, it also had over 60 videos running in loops to help explain what was presented as well as animatronics. These videos are state of the art productions and convey much more information than you typically get at a standard museum. Videos and animatronics really grab the kids as well (we had a 5 year old who really loved all the moving dinosaurs and people).

“The next room is the Wonders Room that presents the case for Intelligent Design, followed by a room designed to show the decay of our contemporary culture (and church) that has abandoned Christ and embraced secular humanism.

“The rest of the walk presents history from the Bible’s account. We particularly liked the Ark section — a very large room where a very small part of the Ark is shown being worked on. Information about how the physical evidence we can observe today fits better with the Bible’s account than evolutionary science’s account, is mixed in as you go.

“The Planetarium is fantastic also…the Creation Museum’s planetarium is state of the art digital. The latest photos from NASA can be mapped onto the planets as they become available and compared to the older projectors that come with a fixed number of stars, the Creation Museum’s projector is — astronomical in possibilities And the PhD astrophysicist they have on staff, Dr. Jason Lyles [sic], puts it through it’s paces — to the glory of God … This museum (and AiG) will be a great tool if you use it.”


Thanks for stopping by and thanks for
praying.
