The Society Storms the Creation Museum

This weekend, a quorum of the Society made haste for the urban wasteland of lower Cincinnati to dive into a wholly other perspective of the natural world. The Creation Museum, located on the northern border of Kentucky, is a 28million-dollar fundamentalist Christian project that presents the history of earth and man's relation to it through a utterly literal interpretation of Genesis 1 and the Noah flood account in Genesis 9.

The Society poses for a candid photo at the foyer of the museum's entrance:
Good times were had by all: After an early early wake-up call, a hearty 5.5 hr drive, and a stopover at Hardee's for some breakfast grease (and ice cream for some), we perused the museum's exhibits, including a reconstruction of the Garden of Eden pre-fall (penguins, leopards and vegetarian Tyrannosaurs living peacefully with Adam and his strikingly Barbie-esque Eve), an animatronic re-enactment of the building of the ark, and mutlimedia explanations for the 6-earth day creation, the distinctly layered geologic and fossil record, and the reasons for painful child-bearing and carnivorous animals. It was widely agreed upon by all attended that the best display was a baby triceratops with a saddle on its back (for use by Adam and Eve in the Garden):Keep on the look out for a more in-depth presentation of our inquiry into this museum of the supernatural history of life on earth, coming soon.
