How and when did life begin? Ken Ham wants you to find the answer in his $25 million Boone County creation museum

PETERSBURG - Ken Ham wants to save your soul.

He's so bent on that mission that he has spent 11 years in Northern Kentucky creating a museum to answer one of the most debated questions of our time: When and how did life begin?

Soon, visitors to Ham's still-unfinished Creation Museum will experience his view: that God created the world in six, 24-hour days on a planet just 6,000 years old. This literal interpretation of the Bible runs counter to accepted scientific theory, which says Earth and its life forms evolved over billions of years.

When that museum is finished, it's going to be Cincinnati's No. 1 tourist attraction," says the Rev. Jerry Falwell, nationally known Baptist evangelist and chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

"It's going to be a mini-Disney World."

1. Yeah, these deceivers always think that their fake Christian

parks and museums are going to draw crowds. They end up drawing small Christian schools and a handful of homeschoolers. There was a Christian amusement park that opened in Florida a few years back with a lot of press coverage and advertisement throughout the Christian community. It closed within a year.

2. well he's got some following

(though the website hits are highly questionable -- even if people were just curious) -- 725 radio stations is a pretty good reach -- but would those who believe the same as him come that far if they were in a state across the country?

"Ham sees the museum as a way of reaching more people - along with the Answers in Genesis Web site, which claims to get 10 million page views per month, and his "Answers ... with Ken Ham" radio show, carried by more than 725 stations worldwide. That's in addition to his talks around the country, the sales of books and DVD's, newsletters e-mailed to 120,000 people and Creation magazine, which has 25,000 U.S. subscribers."



By the way -- it's not opening for another 2 years - though the bookstore and shops are opening this year....

Of course they don't know how many of those hits are people who are curiosity seekers going to see how loopy they are.
