Creation Museum Opens

Recently, we ran a short article about the opening of the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Yesterday was the big day, and the museum opened with great reviews and great protests. As you can imagine, the protests continue today as media outlets tell their version of the grand opening.

In all, over 4000 people attended the opening yesterday. Some were amazed and happy by what they saw, while others thought the displays were an outrage. Many others gathered across the street to protest the museum.

As you can guess, I think this museum is a great thing. It is needed and will help teach many people. It will also be a good thing if it causes people to debate the historical accuracy of the Bible in an open way. I hope to be able to visit the museum sometime. I think, besides being a great faith-builder, it would be intellectually stimulating.

Here are a couple of selected press releases that discuss the museum from both a positive and negative perspective:

ITV (from United Kingdom): Science Ignored at Creation Museum

Associated Press (as published on San Fransisco Gate): Ky. Creation Museum Opens to Thousands
