In the News: In the beginning . . . Adam walked with dinosaurs |
From the article:

With its towering dinosaurs and a model of the Grand Canyon, America's newest
tourist attraction might look like the ideal destination for fans of the film
Jurassic Park.
The new multi-million-dollar Museum of Creation, which will open this spring in
Kentucky, will, however, be aimed not at film buffs, but at the growing ranks
of fundamentalist Christians in the United States.
... . .More controversial exhibits deal with diseases and famine, which are
portrayed not as random disasters, but as the result of mankind's sin. Mr Ham's
Answers in Genesis movement blames the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School
in Colorado, in which two teenagers killed 12 classmates and a teacher before
killing themselves, on evolutionist teaching, claiming that the perpetrators
believed in Darwin's survival of the fittest.
Other exhibits in the museum will blame homosexuals for Aids. In a "Bible
Authority Room" visitors are warned: "Everyone who rejects his history ?
including six-day creation and Noah's flood ? is `wilfully' ignorant.''
