Creation Museum - Why it Made My Heart Ache.jpgThis morning, Tricia and I had the privilege of visiting The Creation Museum just outside of Cincinnati, OH.  We’d been once before, but really desired a return trip with more time set aside to read and experience all that the museum offers.

And we were not disappointed.

The collection of facts and theology, from a creationist point-of-view, is breathtaking.  It is stunning and overwhelming all at the same time.  Almost impossible to completely take it, the sheer volume of information is enough, if given the proper attention, to truly move you from a position of fact-seeking to a posture of worship.

Sure, you could just look at fish, get annoyed with multitudes of people and kids everywhere, fume over the 30 minute coat check, and be disgusted by the fish smell in the place and completely miss this. Totally contained and out of original context, the size, movement, and stark beauty of these creatures is completely extraordinary…if you stop and take it in.  Read More→
