Creation Museum

We had a great time at the Creation Museum.  The first part of it was mostly for adults, but once we got to the Garden of Eden, the kids really enjoyed it.  Here is my goofball, N:

And here they all are reading a sign (exciting, I know).  In the background, right at the brim of my hubby's hat, you can see Adam:

Here is a sad picture.  It is of the people you didn't believe Noah.  As one lady at the Museum said, "Now they believe."

They had so many neat facts there about how the earth is only thousands of years old and not millions and how it can be proven and how scientists know that they are wrong but because they don't want to explain things using God, they only have evolution. 

I have been looking forward to going to the Creation Museum for a long while now.  I was so excited when it finally opened this year, and have been patiently waiting for a good time to go.  Now was just perfect!  We had just started our history program, which starts at the very begining.  So we just learned about Adam and Eve and were starting to move towards Noah.  The museum stops when they get to the flood because the point of it is to prove the earth was made only 6000 years ago. 

 

They did a really good job of showing the fall.  They had this which shows the agony on their faces over the first blood sacrifice:

And then after that they had a black and white hall with pictures of things like a toddler with some sort of bumps all over him and a woman in childbirth and a cemetery of soldiers.  It was sad to see what sin causes.
