Dr. Bengtson noted that to explain how the few species aboard the ark could have diversified to the multitude of animals alive today in only a few thousand years, the museum said simply,
There’s a creationism museum in San Diego. I’m going to go next month just to check it out. Maybe I’ll write up a little report for MoH with pictures and everything.

Woohoo! Our undercover agent in the field! Be sure to wear a trenchcoat and fedora.
If I’m ever near Cincinnati with nothing to do, I may wander by this place. If it’s not too expensive for its admission price. And if I don’t decide to go poke around in those rocks looking for the fossils directly instead.
See, these kinds of things get my head going.
I became a Christian a few years ago, and I mostly practice it alone. However, as a Kid, I was a Dino-Nut, and I know all about the Times, and Evolution, and etc etc.
I honestly don’t know what exactly happened, or whatever, but it gets my head going and often causes me to question my own faith; Something which can be VERY hard on the mind.
I’m the kind of person who likes to ‘See to Believe’, and I have little faith personally, but I try my best, and listen to what both sides have to say, just in case.
Sorry to rant, just had to get the off mah Chest!
I think this has been posted about before.. but yeah, there’s a few such exhibits around. It’s laughable, really.
Only to people who believe the Earth’s been around for millions of years…
People who know, not “believe”. Know from hard scientific evidence, that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Purporting that the modern geological timescale and evolution are “just beliefs as well” is the new strategy of creationists. That idea is seriously flawed though.
The geological time scale and the palaeontology linked to it are based on the very same science that makes microwaves work, nuclear reactors work, airplanes fly, TV-sets work. We don’t just “believe” how they work: they really work that way, otherwise they could never have been engineered and function.
It never seems to occur to Young Earth Creationists that when they question the validity of radiometric dates (for no other reason than that they are at odds with their biblical timescale), they actually question the validity of Physics. The very same Physics that provided us with much of the technology we use daily. If physics really were that fundamentally flawed as YEC’s suggest, our modern technology wouldn’t work.
Maintaining the validity of the biblical time scale in that sense really is an anachronism.
