The Creation Museum is open for business!
What's it all about?
From their website: http://www.creationmuseum.org/about
The state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the
Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and
placing them in familiar settings.
Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden.
Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden's Rivers.
The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and
Evil.
Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and
details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings.
Sounds cool!
What else you got?
You will find our dinosaurs living in our gardens and sauntering
throughout our exhibit halls.
These eye-blinking, mouth-chewing, tail-swinging creatures may startle
a few of our guests.
Children will be excited to see the variety of sculpted dinosaurs in
our collection, including the stegosaur, dilophosaur, and of course,
the giant Tyrannosaurus rex!
They can saddle up on our triceratops and have their picture taken
with a dinosaur.
Awesome!
Just like Jesus on Palm Sunday.

Unfortunately there was a slight hiccup during grand opening week -
according to the Associated Press:

Creation Museum Actor Owns Porn Site
The man picked as Adam by a museum based on the Bible's version of
Earth's history led quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden,
flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a line of
clothing with an explicit mascot.
Registration records show that Eric Linden, who portrays Adam taking
his first breath in a film at the newly opened Creation Museum, owns a
graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat.
He has been pictured there, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a
T-shirt brandishing the site's sexually suggestive logo.
Linden, a graphic designer, model and actor, also sells clothing for
SFX International, whose initials appear on clothing to spell "SEX"
from afar and serve as an abbreviation for its mascot, who promotes
"free love," "pleasure" and "Thrillz."

The museum's operators, informed Thursday by The Associated Press of
Linden's online appearances, acted swiftly to suspend airing of the
40-second video in which he appeared.
The clip is one of 55 featured on tours of the museum, in Petersburg,
Ky., which tells what organizers call, the Bible's version of Earth's
history.
"We are currently investigating the veracity of these serious claims
of his participation in projects that don't align with the biblical
standards and moral code upon which the ministry was founded," Answers
for Genesis spokesman Mark Looy said in an e-mail statement.

"For the Creation Museum, I did what I did as an actor. It doesn't
necessarily mean I believe in evolution or a believe in creation,"
Linden said.
"I'm hired to get a point across. On the flip side, if I was hired to
play a murderer, that doesn't mean I'd go out and kill somebody. It's
make-believe."
Humans and dinosaurs living together in perfect harmony is
make-believe?
Say it ain't so!
