The following is taken off the Answers In Genesis website and is an FAQ regarding the 50,000 square foot Creation Museum which is set to open in Kentucky in 2007.
10 most-asked questions about the future Creation Museum--
- Why is this museum needed?--Our increasingly anti-Christian country must return to a belief in the authority of the Bible and be presented with the life-changing gospel message. Evolutionary indoctrination has undermined the Christian foundations in America.
- What is so different about this museum?--Almost all natural-history museums proclaim an evolutionary, humanistic worldview. For example, they will typically place dinosaurs on an evolutionary timeline millions of years before man. AiGÂ's museum will proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will show that there is a Creator, and that this Creator is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-20), who is our Savior.
- What kind of exhibits will I find in it?--The 50,000-square-foot museum will be filled with life-sized dinosaur models, fossil and mineral collections, waterfalls, live exhibits (poison dart frogs, fish, turtles, bugs and more) and many other first-class exhibits that will proclaim the authority of the Bible from its very first verse.
- When will it open?--The museum is being built only as the funds come in--our goal is to have it debt-free when the doors open--so it is impossible to project an opening date.
- Why did you choose the Cincinnati area?--About 2/3 of America's population can drive to Cincinnati in one day! In addition to those 170 million Americans, millions of Canadians in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec can also drive here in one day. Most convenient, the museum will be close to I-75, the busiest north/south interstate in America.
- What will the complex cost?--$25 million. This includes $12 million for the building and land and $13 million for interior design and exhibits. The support will come from sacrificial donations from AiG supporters and also through "gifts in kind" (i.e. a gift of materials and/or services in lieu of a cash gift).
- How can people give?--In addition to outright gifts of cash, supporters can consider donations of appreciated securities, appreciated real estate, and also gifts that return income (e.g., charitable gift annuities, trust remainder bequests, etc.).
- Will the museum be "family friendly"?--Children and adults will enjoy interactive exhibits, special workshops for all ages, videos, nature trails, etc.
- Who are the leaders of Answers in Genesis?--AiGÂ's board of directors consists of Christian leaders who are thoroughly committed to proclaiming biblical truths and reaching the world for the cause of Christ. The individual members bring to the board a wide background of professional and pastoral experiences. Each is a godly man who walks with the Lord in wisdom and maturity. AiGÂ's president is Ken Ham, well-known speaker, author and radio host. AiG is a trans-denominational ministry, having no affiliation with any particular denomination.
- How can I find out even more about the project?--Regular updates are posted on the Web at CreationMuseum.org.
I have not edited or altered this in any way. For reference the image is entitled "Adam Naming Animals". Enjoy.

So many comments, so little time.
1) Is that a puppy that Adam is attempting to sodomize as he extends his welcoming hand to the wolf, as if to say, "Care to join us in a little threesome?"
2)"Christian foundations in America"...any time I see those words grouped together in that order, I instantly dub the author a "fucking nutbag".
3) "Almost all natural-history museums proclaim an evolutionary, humanistic worldview. For example, they will typically place dinosaurs on an evolutionary timeline millions of years before man." -- Oh, you mean they believe in science?! It says "history museum". Why would anyone bring science into it?
4) "The support will come from sacrificial donations"...beware the calls for "sacrifice"!!!
Part of me wants to continue. However, I think I'll just thank you for posting this latest reminder of how organized religion has the potential to turn people into complete buffoons!!!
I appreciate the thoughts as my head is about to explode every time I think of this "Museum". This is one of those things that is almost too impossible to understand if you have a brain.
