Last weekend, we drove up to northern Kentucky for a wedding. We'd heard some great things about the Creation Museum, and since it was only ten minutes away from our hotel we decided to visit on Saturday morning. We only had a few hours to try to take it all in, but we had a great time and were extra excited that they offer free tickets to military.
Will really enjoyed looking at everything, and got a kick out of the dinosaur exhibit. The museum itself has a large walk-through portion where the stories from the Bible literally come to life. It also offered really helpful explanations detailing the truth of creation based on God's Word versus human logic. The side by side comparison of these teachings and the use of Scripture was really well done. It was simple enough for a child to understand, but deep enough to make an impact on adults.
Aaron and I were both amazed by how many things society is taught to accept as "scientific fact" that are not only contrary to Scripture, but can actually be explained just as logically, though in a different way, through the Bible. Anyways, we both left with a much better understanding of questions (how old is the earth? how did all of those animals fit on Noah's ark? etc.) that didn't so much require a huge leap of faith, as sound Biblical knowledge to explain.
The walk-through was based on the 7-C's timeline: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, Consummation. For the flood (Catastrophe), they had a scaled model of Noah's ark which as pretty fascinating... it's neat to have a mental picture when you read of cubits and gofer wood.
Unfortunately, we had to skip the movie presentations and planetarium since we were short on time. We breezed through some of the gorgeous botanical gardens and made a quick beeline over to the petting zoo.
On any other day we would have signed up for a camel ride, but today we were content to say hello to the little donkey, sheep, and goats. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to revisit!

You should check out drdino.com. He is a lot like this place you went to. He is a Christian and science teacher who disproves evolution with not only the Bible but scientific fact to back it up. We are doing a series of his right now in a small group- very interesting!
Thanks, Elizabeth! Looks like a great resource!
I'm glad you liked the museum! Its nice to know what you thought of it and I have a better idea of what it is about. Now I feel more comfortable recommending it to people. See you soonish :)
