The Creation Museum

A New Perspective

   Last week I went to the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in Virginia, both very interesting places. Each tackled issues between creation and man's idea of how things came to be. First, I'll start with the Ark.

   First, the bow is in the left of the picture, even though it looks kind of weird for the front of a boat. Second, the inside of the actual scale Ark is full of exhibits about the truth of the flood and the methods that would have allowed such an amazing thing to happen. This includes methods for holding all kinds of animals, feeding and watering the animals, and methods for living. 

  It is possible dinosaurs would have been on the ark, but died due to natural selection. The flood would explain fossils and frozen fish found atop mountains. Also, Noah wouldn't need every animal. He would only need pairs of different types of animals, for example, he wouldn't need lions, tigers, leopards, and cheetahs. Only one type would be necessary. They would then spread and adapt after the flood.

   There is way more I could talk about, but there is too much to cover, so I'll skip to the Museum.

   The museum focuses more on creation than the ark. It goes from creation all the way to Christ. The entire museum is very thought provoking. However, one thing cannot be avoided: Controversy. Many atheists poke fun at these museums. "We are now teaching children to believe humans and dinosaurs lived together..." "Ken Ham (founder) is an idiot." As much as I really enjoyed the two locations, it pains me to hear those who are lost put down something so unique. I recommend both of these to anyone, saved or unsaved, with or without doubt.
