I just wanted to take a minute to rant about a wonderful place called "The Creation Museum"
It opened eight weeks ago and they planned on having 100,000 people visit the first year. Already they have had more then 100K in the first eight weeks. They have petitioned the city in order to add over 150 more parking spots that are needed despretly. They also have to build additional bathrooms and a canopy to protect the masses that wait daily to get inside. They have changed the goal from 100K to well over 250K which I believe they will meet very easily.
Buses, Trucks Campers and RV's travel daily from all over the country. In order to go to the planetatioum you have to get the tickets early in the morning because ti sells out all day very early.
The bookstore is filled with great books on Creation, Bibiles, John MacArthur, and Spurgeon.
THe Museum walk through is very open minded. Suprisingly it's not a "This is what you have to believe because it is fact" sort of museum like the Smithsonian. Even top atheist say it is alot more open minded then they thought it would be and it's in no way a "Cult" Museum like protestors claimed.
You start out going through the idea of Presuppostions. Evolution evidences and Creation Evidences are compared side by side in giant wall displays and videos.
From there you are shown how the Bible is true. You walk through some evidences and then after about 1 hour of alking and reading and watching you get to the first theater which powerfully shows visually God's creation of the Universe.
Then you start the Museum.
Yep. THats right. You don't see any museum until the first hour of walking and demonstrating.
Then you go from Creation, TO Eden, To the Fall, to the Flood, TO the Tower of Babel, to the Prophets, To the Apostles and To the Savior (Another Fantastic Video)...
Incredible.
I encourage churches (Mine Included) to place the Sight and Sound Theater on Hold for one time, and go here instead. The Robots, The Movies, The Drama trump one play from the S&S theater. This is not meant to ridicule the S&S theater it's just to say that there is more a Church could benefit from (Kingdom Oriented).
