Creationist Museum Keeps Building
PETERSBURG - Eighty years ago this month, high school science teacher
John Scopes went on trial for standing in the face of popular belief
and teaching the theory of evolution in Dayton, Tenn. At the time,
teaching that man evolved from apes was illegal and Scopes was tried
for breaking the law.
Today, Northern Kentucky's Ken Ham, an Australian expatriate who has
gained national media attention for his Creationist Museum, is seen as
controversial for the exact opposite reasons Scopes was.
"This is just the start," Ham said of his under-construction Creation
Museum. "The more we get the message out to people, the better."
Ham's $25 million museum, on 50 acres in Petersburg and visible from
Interstate 275, is slated to open April 2007. The creation of the
group Answers in Genesis, which Ham helped found in Australia in 1979,
the museum will display an alternative to Charles Darwin's evolution
theory. It will house exhibits that promote the Bible's version of the
creation of Man; that God created all living things in six days.
