> [@](#): > > PETERSBURG, Ky. - Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the Earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve. > > That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that’s the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky. > > Its inspiration is the Bible — the literal interpretation that contends God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them just a few thousand years ago. > > “If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that’s our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there,” museum founder Ken Ham said during recent tour of the sleek and modern facility, which is due to open next year.

I wonder if Walt ever considered calling Disneyland “The Mickey Mouse Museum.” IT’S A THEME PARK, MR. HAM! MUSEUMS ARE WHERE SCHOLARSHIP TAKES PLACE! Sheesh. ---

Ugh, there was a booth at our county fair this weekend where they offered to explain to you how Man and dinosaurs lived together. I wanted to stand outside and yell at them, but my wife talked me out of it. ---

From the SDMB, January 2, 2005: [Museum exhibit to show dinosaurs and man co-existing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294841). Has it finally opened, or something? Why is this news, again? ---
