Creation Museum

We just got back from a great 4 day trip to Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. The Creation Museum is in Kentucky, just across the river from Ohio, and we went to eat once (also across the river) in Indiana. The Museum is just wonderful! Amazing and such great information. We all enjoyed the shows, the planetarium, the artifacts, the dioramas, the presentations, the animals, and more. Jackson was a little bit wary of the moving, fire-breathing dinosaur until he realized it wasn't real; of course he asked that question probably 5 times. Of course it was more than just about dinosaurs. If you don't believe the first 11 chapters of Genesis, you cannot embrace Creationism. Evolution is an option but goes completely against Biblical beliefs but more than that, their theories are based on a lot of assumptions. You have to assume a lot of things that are not proven facts to believe in evolution. Also, you would have to accept the billions of years ("old earth") idea to believe in this as well. It all depends upon your starting point. We learned so so much, especially about how a catastrophic flood could have changed the earth's continents, climates, and land forms into what we see today. And, this was a new thought, that the earthquakes, volcanoes, and other "disasters" that happen currently on a much lesser scale than after the flood, are still occuring as "after shocks". The first 11 chapters of Genesis are the basis for believing the whole Bible! You have to go to see for yourself and it sure does make you think differently even if you do believe what Genesis says. Scott and Jeff went to a seminar where they learned how to share all this information, to know what you believe and then be able to articulate it. This is so important today as we all walk around believing certain things but when questioned cannot defend our faith.
The animals outside were a huge hit for the children. They had so much fun feeding and petting, and running all over picking up food off the ground for more feed. At one point I asked Jackson (jokingly) "Are you ready to leave?" Jackson said with a straight face, "No, I'm the farmer."
Another highlight we got to see "Aunt Felicity", meet her husband Kevin and new baby, Eliana. Kevin is a pastor in Berea so we went to church with them and then out to lunch. That was a nice ending to a great trip.
