The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

The Creation Museum is open!

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports some 4,000+ visitors went through the Creation Museum on opening day, Monday May 28th. That means that four thousand people saw God's truth presented in a fashion to rival secular museums, and presented God's truth in a way that they may never have seen it displayed before. The demonstrators on hand were, well, less than imposing:

Beyond the gates, several dozen protesters staged a "Rally for Reason," arguing that the museum's central tenets conflict with scientific dating techniques.

So much for this huge outpouring of anger. Evolutionart theory: several dozen, God's truth several thousand. I guess it is easier to sign a letter rather than have to face someone who is armed and ready to show that evolution is NOT a closed issue.

People came from all over:

The museum opened at 10 a.m. with about 500 people in line and with license plates from 31 states and two Canadian provinces in the parking lot of about 600 spaces.

How great is that! I loved the contrast here, let's see who sounds like the person engaging in reasoned, thoughtful and open debate:

"The guests were very happy with the museum experience," (spokesman Mark ) Looy said. "Of course, we had some naysayers come through and engage us in conversation, and that's fine - we want them.

"We want skeptics and non-Christians to come here - we encourage that," Looy said...

"It's really impressive - and it really gives the impression that they're talking about science at some point," said critic Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics and astronomy and director of the Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University.

On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being best, "I'd give it a 4 for technology, 5 for propaganda," Krauss said. As for content, "I'd give it a negative 5."

I would give it a negative five on a scale of one to five? This guy is a scientist? Maybe he can call Ken Ham a doodiehead, that would be an equally devastating critique. I can't wait to plan a trip to Northern Kentucky with my kids!
