Jason and I enjoyed our much-needed mini-getaway for our 7th anniversary. We spent the weekend in Cincinnati while our boys spent the weekend with grandparents. Due to the gracious gift of passes from a friend, we took the time to visit the Creation Museum for two days. We didn't take an inordinate amount of pictures, so there are just a few to show some of the highlights of the museum.
I like this comment...so true! Do we care more about what we think or what the Bible says?
Time to get the "storybook" Noah's ark picture out of the brain. Noah's ark was massive and very capable of holding the number of animals aboard. We got a chance to step inside a bit of Noah's ark.
Another focus of the museum was dinosaurs. The museum showcased their existence in total compatibility with a timeline that supports a Biblical worldview (age of the earth being approx. ~6000 years old). God created dinosaurs, they were aboard the ark, and lived among humans. (see Job 40-41). Recent discoveries have found soft tissue and red blood cells in dinosaur bones, making it nearly impossible that dinosaurs are billions upon billions of years old as taught in evolutionary theory.
The Grand Canyon has marine/ocean fossils in its top layers. Wow! Makes complete sense to me! ...And why don't people believe in a global flood again??
Mt. St. Helens provides excellent examples to show how our age-dating methods are not as accurate as we think they are. Many fossils created from the catastrophic 1980 eruption can be dated using the age-dating methods as billions of years old.... Makes me think twice about the general reliability of those methods, that's for sure!
We also really enjoyed the planetarium shows as well as a seminar about the relevance of the Bible in today's world. We definitely enjoyed our trip and felt compelled to continue studying and learning about our Biblical worldview.
