PETERSBURG, KY.
The controversy surrounding the opening of a northern Kentucky museum
that teaches the biblical story of creation hasn't hurt it at the box
office.
The Creation Museum hosted its 100,000th visitor by late July, less than
two months after it opened, putting the museum on pace to easily exceed
the 250,000 visitors organizers were hoping to get in the first year,
the Enquirer reported.
Evolution is derided at museum, which is packed with high-tech exhibits
designed by an acclaimed theme-park artist, animatronic dinosaurs and a
huge wooden ark. In this Old Testament version of history, dinosaurs
appeared on the same day God created other land animals.
The museum also contains fossils, hung in glass cases in a room visitors
spill into after taking a tour of Old Testament history. Museum
officials said most fossils were created by the massive flood detailed
in the book of Genesis.
