Creation Museum

We spent Saturday at the Creation Museum in Cincinnati.  First off, some wonderful friends gave us 2 comp tickets so that instantly saved us $50.00, and we bought our tickets at the hotel so we only spent $24.00 to get in.  So, for that price we enjoyed it.  The gardens outside were AMAZING!!  Words can't describe how beautiful they were.
The rest of the museum was very nice, everything was very high quality and nicely done and the message was presented several times.  I guess the name of the museum should have tipped me off, but I wanted more than just creation.  They believe that the world is young, only about 6,000 years old.  That when God created the world in 6 days everything was created then, including Dinosaurs.  That Dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark and just recently died out...  And it seemed the whole museum was about that.  I understand why they believe that, reading the Bible it is right on.  But, I don't think it's imoirtant enough to harp on and harp on...  I don't understand science enough to declare that they are right and everyone else is wrong.  I believe without a doubt that God created the Earth and all living things.  The rest of it is just stuff to not worry about... 
Over all, we decided not to use their science curriculum.  I'm afraid that that's what they will put alot of weight on and I've already heard enough about it... 
Fun, but overkill...

  2. Sorry, I just saw that you commented on this!! I'm just going to use The Usborne Science Encyclopedia. I can't find anything I really like and this covers everything. Plus, we can get as involed in any subject as we like :) We'll see, if I find something down the road I may get it...
