Creation Science Museum
Will the exhibits at a creation science museum convince evolutionists that the world was created by God in six days only about six to ten thousand years ago? Will secular scholars of ancient literature admit reading about dinosaurs in the Bible? Probably not. Any evidence, no matter how credible, seems to be ignored if it doesn't fit with their preconceived ideas about the origins of life. A person's philosophical worldview rests on this singular issue: is man a created being or an evolved being? How one chooses to answer this fundamental question actually starts a snowball to which other very specific viewpoints attach themselves. For example, in believing the truth that God created mankind, one accepts that people are made in God's image, we are different than other living creatures because we have a soul, and a spiritual realm exists. Humans are given the task of being good stewards of the earth and the bounty God provides.
Evolutionists, by denouncing Genesis as a myth and placing their faith in missing links that do not exist, feel free to call humans such names as "upright mammalian weeds," promote animal rights as being equal to human rights, and scoff at the idea that angels, both good and evil, exist. They idolize the environment at the expense of people. Of course, not everyone who believes in evolution goes so far in their thinking, but it is the logical progression when God is removed from an individual's philosophical worldview. If humankind does not have that divine spark, if there is no spiritual realm, no eternity, then why not eat, drink, and be merry? Why not compare the slaughter of chickens to the Holocaust as some extreme animal rights activists have done? Naturally, the creation was only the beginning of God's divine plan for reconciliation and salvation. But this is a crucial issue that logically points people toward specific viewpoints regarding the value of human life.
Creationists read truth in the Genesis account and understand the need to share this truth with others. A major controversy has to do with dinosaurs. Evolutionists claim that the huge beasts lived millions and millions of years before humans and mysteriously died, perhaps from disease or because a giant meteor hit the earth. But creationists know that there are dinosaurs in the Bible and that they lived at the same time as Adam and Eve. The first chapters of Genesis say that God created all the animals and then Adam. Many scholars believe that the grass-eating giants acted as gargantuan lawn mowers in the lush paradise. The animals came to Adam to be named and no living creatures died until after Adam and Eve were forced to leave the Garden of Eden. This is just one reason that the designers of some creation science museum exhibits show dinosaurs and people living in close proximity to each other. The mysterious demise of most of the large beasts occurred when God destroyed the earth with water -- the Flood. Even the geological evidence proves that fossil layers were formed by some cataclysmic event that quickly buried living creatures. Those who refuse to equate that cataclysmic event with the Flood aren't being objective observers of the evidence. They refuse to believe the Flood occurred because they don't want to accept the Genesis account of either the Flood or creation.
From other Biblical evidence, Noah must have had dinosaurs, probably youngsters, on the ark. An amazing description of dinosaurs in the Bible is found in the Old Testament book of Job. Most Biblical scholars believe that Job is the first book of the Bible to have been written, but Job, the man, lived after the time of the Flood. God shows Job a great creature and says: "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. . . . He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. . . . Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares" (Job 40:15-24). With a tail like a cedar tree and the ability to drink "a river," can this be describing anything other than a dinosaur? Strangely, some commentators say the behemoth must be a hippopotamus or an elephant, but neither of those animals have tails that can be compared to trees. For Job to see the behemoth, both man and beast must have lived at the same time.
A creation science museum near Glen Rose, Texas actually has exhibits showing human and dinosaur footprints found in excavations near the Paluxy River. The museum's founder and director is Dr. Carl Baugh whose doctoral dissertation, "Academic Justification for Voluntary Inclusion of Scientific Creation in Public Classroom curricula, Supported by Evidence that Man and Dinosaurs were Contemporary," was based on the conducted research. The museum continues to sponsor excavations and exhibits fascinating artifacts and fossils that support the Genesis account. A newer creation science museum, located in Petersburg, Kentucky, is a 70,000 square foot "walk through history." The sophisticated animatronics, computer-generated visual effects, and large murals of its 160 interactive exhibits appeal to families who can purchase annual passes and memberships. Such places exhibit evidence that support creationism, the Flood, and the existence of dinosaurs in the Bible. The creationist's worldview rests on a strong and firm foundation.
