Prepare to Believe!

Part of the reason we drove so hard yesterday was because today we are going to the Creation Museum which just opened the end of May. So having just a short drive into Kentucky was very nice.

We love their brochure's headline "Prepare to Believe".

It has been called the "most scrutinized museum on the planet" and it can withstand the scrutiny because it is true to God's Word. We were absolutely thrilled with the Creation Museum and highly recommend it to all.

This state of the art 60,000 square foot museum is the project of Answers in Genesis an organization we have loved and supported for years. Their goal is to present a God-centered message showing the unity of history, science and the Bible.

Upon entering you are immersed into an experience that masterfully brings the Bible to life using cutting-edge multimedia technology. The museum offers over 50 video presentations, the Six days of Creation theater, the 78 seat Stargazer Planetarium, and a 200 seat special affects theater. There are also numerous displays designed by the former attraction designer for Universal Studios Florida. Every part has been thoughtfully designed and is carefully presented not to please man but to exalt God.

Your gonna love this New York Times comment on the museum's opening: "...where the Bible is treated as gospel".

Ya think??

The article also states that it is "stunningly designed".

The Creation Museum goes far beyond just presenting facts, it stirs your heart. We were incredibly blessed and were actually the last ones to leave the parking lot. Note: you will need a full day - two would be even better - to see it all. We definitely could have used more time.

We made a stop for supplies and dinner before arriving in Lexington Kentucky. We are staying at the Kentucky Horse Park. It was already dark when we go there so we set up and then tried to get to bed early so we can get a good start on our day tomorrow. Looks like this going to really be fun!
