It looks like the Big Day is getting close for the Grand Opening of AiG's Creation Museum. I can scarcely wait.
But until that happy event, we must content ourselves with reading of it and watching it's progress, as I have pretty much done ever since Ham started digging the foundation.
So, to help further tide us over (be still, my trembling heart), here's something of an update on the Most Amazing, Illustrated, Twenty-Five-Million-Dollar Fairy Tale Ever Told. quote:
So what's with all the dinosaurs?
The world's first Creationist museum - dedicated to the idea that the creation of the world, as told in Genesis, is factually correct - will soon open. Stephen Bates is given a sneak preview and asks: was there really a tyrannosaurus in the Bible?

The Creation Museum's motto: Prepare to Believe.
Just off the interstate, a couple of junctions down from Cincinnati's international airport, over the state line in rural Kentucky, the finishing touches are being put to an impressive-looking building. When it is finished and open to the public next summer, it may, quite possibly, be one of the weirdest museums in the world.
The Creation Museum - motto: "Prepare to Believe!" - will be the first institution in the world whose contents, with the exception of a few turtles swimming in an artificial pond, are entirely fake. It is dedicated to the proposition that the account of the creation of the world in the Book of Genesis is completely correct, and its mission is to convince visitors through a mixture of animatronic models, tableaux and a strangely Disneyfied version of the Bible story.

I think people should use the power of humor to laugh this idiocy into oblivion. One funny thing about it: Animatronics expert Patrick Marsh says "... as for scientists, so much of what they believe is pretty fuzzy about life and its origins ..." yet he relies on the very detailed picture that scientists have developed about how dinosaurs looked and moved.
I would like to see an Evolution Museum next door, with the theme, "Talking with Dinosaurs." It would include animatronic dinosaurs that speak, and tell people about their actual lives, and the ancient environment in which they lived. Perhaps the final exhibit might be "What would have happened if people actually walked with dinosaurs?" That would have a T. Rex and maybe some velociraptors tearing into and devouring animatronic Bible-thumpers.
