The Creation Museum officially opened its doors Sunday, May 28th in Petersberg, KY. According the Guardian newspaper, ‘Some exhibits show dinosaurs aboard Noah's ark and assert that all animals were vegetarians until Adam committed the first sin in the garden of Eden. When Mr. Marsh was asked to explain the existence of fossilized remains of man's ancestors, he replied: "There are no such things. "Humans are basically as you see them today. Those skeletons they've found, what's the word? They could have been deformed, diseased or something. "I've seen people like that running round the streets of New York."’

Fortunately, there are not any running around the streets of Petersberg, KY.

A force behind the new museum, Mr Ken Hams offers more insights about our friends the dinosaurs.

“According to the Bible: Dinosaurs first existed around 6,000 years ago. God made the dinosaurs, along with the other land animals, on Day Six of the Creation Week (Gen. 1:20–25, 31). Adam and Eve were also made on Day Six—so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people, not separated by eons of time. Dinosaurs could not have died out before people appeared, because dinosaurs had not previously existed, and death, bloodshed, disease and suffering are a result of Adam’s sin (Rom. 5:12,14, 1 Cor. 15:21–22).

Representatives of all the kinds of air-breathing land animals, including the dinosaur kinds, went on board Noah’s Ark. All those left outside the Ark died in the cataclysmic circumstances of the Flood—many of their remains became fossils. After the Flood (around 4,500 years ago), the remnant of the land animals, including dinosaurs, came off the Ark and lived in the present world, along with people. Because of sin, the judgments of the Curse and the Flood have greatly changed the Earth. Post-Flood climatic change, lack of food, disease, and man’s activities caused many types of animals to become extinct. The dinosaurs, like many other creatures, died out. Why the big mystery about dinosaurs?”

The Tyrannosaurus was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators, measuring over 43 feet in length and weighed up to 6.8 metric tons.

That Ark was one heckuva boat! And Noah was an amazing floating zookeeper. He kept two on them content and well fed during the great flood that lasted over a year.

The new museum is only about 25 miles from my home in Cincinnati. An admission ticket is $19.95. Interacting with patrons is probably worth the price of admission. I wonder if any of them will bring their pet t-rex's along?
