While millions of Americans head to beaches, campgrounds and amusement parks over Memorial Day weekend, a Christian conservative group will be launching a very different type of attraction: a $27 million high-tech museum devoted to creationism.
Dubbed simply the Creation Museum, the venture will share many of the features common to all big natural history displays: dinosaur bones and fossils, a planetarium and a model of the Grand Canyon. But the tag line for the Kentucky-based center — “Prepare to believe” — reflects a devotion to the “young earth” movement, which holds that the Book of Genesis is an accurate historical record. The museum, which rejects evolutionary theory, maintains that the earth is 6,000 years old and that humans coexisted with dinosaurs. (From The Forward:
