Creation Museum tour
If you're still scratching your head about what might be in that Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky (which I mentioned earlier), you can read all about it. If that leaves you sour because it tramples on your firmly-held beliefs, many people have been making observations and testing hypotheses to answer just that question. Read up on that at http://www.talkorigins.org/, where many of your lingering questions will be answered in the FAQ.

Creation Museum now open!
Have you ever met a Biblical scholar who was a biblical literalist? I haven't. Mostly, those folks understand that the documents were written tens of centuries ago by people who had a much different understanding of the world. They didn't have cars, airplanes, trains, or even printing presses. It was before the industrial revolution. Woodblock printing was high-tech, and the spinning wheel was 500 years in the future.[1] Yet some people maintain that the Bible is the ultimate authority on all things. (Excuse me - would the people of that day have been able to understand modern physics even if it had been presented reasonably?) Which Bible? Oh, yeah, it has changed over the ages as well, and then there are those extra books the Catholics use.[2]
Enter the Creation Museum where you can go and learn that man and dinosaurs roamed the earth together. (Oh, yeah, there's a petition against it, too.) I'm all for folks standing firm in their beliefs and free speech, but do these people ever think? Lest there be some confusion, let's also link straight to the source: Genesis 1-2. (Sorry, I don't have a link to the Hebrew.)
