COPLEY — Check your assumptions at the door: This isn’t your father’s
dinosaur museum.
William Sanderson displays the jawbone of a Wooly Mammoth and the
teeth of a pterodactyl, but at his soon-to-open Akron Fossils &
Science Center located in Copley, a different kind of idea emerges.
The idea the Earth is fairly young after all.
According to Sanderson, his center is the only one of its kind in
Ohio: a creation-based science museum that offers the opportunity for
children and adults to challenge their assumptions about creation,
evolution, dinosaurs, prehistory, nature and the world as we know it.
The center is devoted to teaching creation science and intelligent
design models in contrast to evolutionary models.
Sanderson believes dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures co-
existed with humans during the time between the creation of man and
the flood of Noah as told in the Bible. The Ice Age then followed the
flood, he said.
Before the flood, he said, the Earth’s atmosphere was so different
that animals, plants and humans were able to grow much larger and live
much longer than today.
“There’s a lot of science that supports that, and that’s what we’re
trying to make the case for,” he said.
Among his many pieces of evidence on display at the center, Sanderson
has a casting of an original Ica burial stone. (Only 11 original
stones exist, according to Sanderson, and he said he is trying to
obtain one. If he does, however, he won’t display it in the center.
He’ll keep it in a safety deposit box instead, he said.)
