The Creation Museum
May 28th, 2007 by admin

Whatever you think about a literal creation reading of Genesis, of worth noting is the opening of the Creation Museum.
The Creation Museum is located just 7 miles west of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and within a day’s drive of almost 2/3 of the U.S. population (within 650 miles of the museum).
Here is their mission and purpose:
The Creation Museum will be upfront that the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice, and in every area it touches upon.
We’ll begin the Museum experience by showing that “factsâ€? don’t speak for themselves (click here for a proposed drawing of this exhibit). There aren’t separate sets of “evidencesâ€? for evolution and creationâ€â€we all deal with the same evidence (we all live on the same earth, have the same fossils, observe the same animals, etc.). The difference lies in how we interpret what we study. We’ll then explore why the Bibleâ€â€the “history book of the universeâ€?â€â€provides a reliable, eye-witness account of the beginning of all things.
After that, we’ll take guests on a journey through a visual presentation of the history of the world, based on the “7 C’s of Historyâ€?: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, Consummation. Throughout this family-friendly experience, guests will learn how to answer the attacks on the Bible’s authority in geology, biology, anthropology, cosmology, etc., and they will discover how science actually confirms biblical history.
The complex, near Cincinnati, Ohio, will also be the headquarters for AiG-USA and will house the ministry offices, recording studio and resource distribution center. The museum will also feature classrooms for use by school groups, pastors and others.
Museum mission statement*
Exalt Jesus Christ as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer through a safe, wholesome, family-friendly center for learning and discovery that clearly presents major biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation.
*This center will equip Christians to better evangelize the lost with a sense of urgency, through a combination of exhibits, research and educational presentations that uphold the inerrancy of the Bible.
*This center will also challenge visitors to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and to accept the authority of the Bible by providing culturally relevant biblical and scientific answers from a biblical worldview.
And then, if you want to take an online tour, you can go here.
Even though I’m not a staunch literal creationist (dare I say, I still believe MG Kline’s Framework theory makes the most sense to me and is most consistent with the biblical text), I would still like to visit. So if you’re in the Cincinnati area, I think it would be worth a visit.
