Creation Museum

Well since it's raining and I have the time I thought I would update the blog. This past spring break we took the kids (and the Sheppard kids) over to Lawrenceburg, Indiana. We stayed with Leanne's Aunt Becky and Uncle Bill and we visited the Creation Museum just outside Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Creation Museum is a museum which promotes the belief that life is more than mere random chance and supports that belief with archeological evidence and intellectual reasoning. It's quite amazing to hear creationism thoughts such as purposeful creation, a young earth, dinosaurs and man coexisting, etc ...

We were told that a tourist package had been created that included tickets to the Creation Museum as well as the Cincinnati Zoo. When the zoo got wind of this they demanded that they be excluded from the package. They did not want any association with the Creation Museum because of the contradictory teachings the museum supports. Wow! I wonder who is more "close-minded?" It's interesting to me that if you are an "animal lover" and support nature wholeheartedly .... why would you be threatened by creationism? What makes an "animal" more special? Would it be that they just happened into existence and are nothing more than a random combination of DNA ... or would it be that God uniquely created them with care, intentionally, and with a purpose? So goes for you and I.

Anyway here are a few pictures.
