CONTROVERSY OVER NEW CREATIONISM MUSEUM: WAS IT CREATED OR DID IT EVOLVE FROM PREVIOUS MUSEUM DESIGNS?
by R J Shulman
PETERSBURG, Ky – Not even finished, the $25 million dollar Creation Museum is already causing controversy. The question is whether the museum, which takes the Bible literally and features dinosaurs roaming the forests at the same time Eve takes a bite from an apple, was created or whether the museum is the natural evolution of natural history museums.

"This museum is entirely my creation,” said museum founder Ken Ham as he toured the sleek high tech facility set to open some time next year. However, even among creationists, there is disagreement. “Ken Ham is not the Creator,” said Zachariah Naismith of nearby Burlington, Kentucky, “only God creates things and by God, the Almighty is the one who created this museum.”

“The Creation Museum is not made out of whole cloth,” said museum historian Thaddeus Bolinsky after a tour of the 60,000 square foot facility. “It is strikingly similar in structure to previous natural history and science museums, except that in this one, there is precious little science.”
