We were so excited for the opportunity to visit the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky.
We had planned to start our visit inside, but several (read: 10+) bus loads of senior tours had just been dropped off, so after a half-hour attempt to explore inside, we decided to go outside first and do the inside later.
There were fun things to do outside.
Spot the dinosaur on the garden.
Back inside, we started with the standard 7 C's that are foundational to Answers in Genesis' discipleship plan. They start with recognizing that people have different worldviews.
And show how that impacts the way you see different parts of creation.
The Bible is the ultimate authority in everything.
This scene is straight out of Inherit the Wind - a movie we read about and watch in Challenge B.
The Garden of Eden was perfect.
Then sin enters the world and the flood comes.
Noah...
Addressing the geology of the Grand Canyon in light of the flood. We were just talking about this while we were there so this information is so timely to confirm and enhance what we were talking about.
Sy still just loves dinosaurs.
The insect exhibit didn't allow photography inside but there were HUGE beetles and more. (These butterflies were outside the exhibit.)
Back outside...
A Zorse and Zonkey (both zebra mixes) were in the petting zoo area that showed the breeding of similar "kinds".
The goats could only be fed from outside the fence, so they were always facing out.
We were so blessed by our trip here. Though much of the information presented was new to us, we were excited to find that much of it was not new! Rather it was confirming and reinforcing things we've already learned.
Overall, the museum was well done. In some ways, we've been spoiled with great museums and aquariums and zoos in SoCal so that the exhibits didn't stand out as much as it would have if we'd not had those experiences. (They were similar in quality.) If we lived nearby with young children, this would be such a great place to have annual passes to! We always had zoo or aquarium passes, but this place is so great because it gives the Creator all the credit.
