Local Rumors: Creation Museum Cutbacks?

Our extensive network of sometimes-reliable, anonymous sources spreads to us the unconfirmed rumor that AIG's Creation Museum is reducing the hours of some of its employees. We infer that attendance is dropping from the initial flood of attendance.

Will the Creation Museum's initial flood of attendance prove to be global or merely local? Will the museum prove fit enough to survive? How far does Noah's curse on Ham extend? Time will tell.

We have 2 overly expensive museums in the area that nobody wants to go to. The first one was the Freedom Center. Now, the Creation museum.

Maybe they can pool their resources and have exhibits like "Uncle Tom's cave" and the "Underground fossil."

That's interesting. Our church tried to schedule a trip to go and we were put on a waiting list for 4 weeks in advance.

We were then called and told they had to cancel our group because groups had been flooding the museum and that there was a 3 hour wait outside to get inside every day of the week.

So we weren't able to get a group spot until late September.

Dr. James McGrath has an interesting little post (exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com/2007/07/breaking-news-creationism-museums.html) which speaks about the irony of the Creation Museum's (literal) foundation. The post links to a YouTube video, which is about 10-minutes long. I wouldn't necessarily call the whole deal earth-shattering, but it is certainly good FYI-type material.

Went last week. The crowd was so large it tooks us over 4 hours just to get through.

What a great testimony the Creation Museum is to the truth of Scripture!

Sorry, "tooks" should have been "took" in the above post.

We regretfully disagree that the Creation Museum is a testimony to the truth of Scripture. As a believer in the truth of Scripture and a scholar of it, we find the Creation Museum to be filled with consequential distortions of Scripture.

We embrace the employees of AIG as brothers and sisters in Christ, and we welcome their graciousness to us personally, but we continue to object to the disturbing misappropriation of the Bible and mischaracterization of its message that AIG perpetuates.
