Answers in Genesis: Upholding the Authority of the Bible from the Very First Verse

A number of petitions are now circulating on the Internet to get people
to sign up to show their opposition to the Creation Museum. It is amazing that with all the evolutionary propaganda that pours out of secular museums, zoos, schools and
colleges, TV programs, etc. that evolutionists are extremely worried about one
Creation Museum.

I’ve pasted in copy from 2 of these petitions below. The first one was
prepared for scientists from Kentucky, Ohio, or Indiana. A number of
scientists have already signed this petition that states they “are
concerned about scientifically inaccurate materials at the Answers in
Genesis Museum.” Just think about this: none of these scientists have
seen the Museum (it is not opened yet), none have read the signs,
none have watched the videos—they have not seen or read anything in the
Museum in regard to its teaching—but they can sign this petition.
Amazing. Of course, they would claim they know what is going to be
taught, because they know AiG stands on the authority of God’s Word in
Genesis. Therefore, regardless of what scientific material is in the
Creation Museum, these biased scientists have already made up their
minds without even researching the issue properly. When they
come and visit, they will scoff at what is said because they already
reject God’s Word in Genesis—regardless of what information is in the
Museum.

Petition 1:

Statement of Concern about Impact of AIG’s “Creation Museum”
Parents, educators, scientists, clergy, and other citizens are concerned
about scientifically inaccurate exhibits at the Creation Museum in
Petersburg, KY, operated by Answers in Genesis, a fundamentalist
Christian ministry.

The statement below has been prepared by and for scientists in KY, OH,
and IN. Please feel free to sign if you are a scientist from KY, OH, or
IN. And, please circulate this statement among your colleagues.

Statement of Concern
We, the undersigned scientists at universities and colleges in Kentucky,
Ohio, and Indiana, are concerned about scientifically inaccurate
materials at the Answers in Genesis museum. Students who accept this
material as scientifically valid are unlikely to succeed in science
courses at the college level. These students will need remedial
instruction in the nature of science, as well as in the specific areas
of science misrepresented by Answers in Genesis.

Petition 2 (interesting how this petition says “Ham’s nefarious
campaign to confuse America’s children… .” Of course, evolutionists
don’t want children “confused” with the facts–they just want these
children dogmatically taught evolution without any opportunity of
hearing evidence against molecules-to-man evolution or evidence that
confirms the history of life as given in the Bible). And AiG is NOT
“anti-science” as claimed! This is a typical emotional attack that we
hear over and over again to intimidate people to stand against AiG. A
number of Ph.D. scientists are employed by AiG and work with AiG to ensure
scientific accuracy in what is taught.

Fighting Ignorance. The opening of the Creation Museum is only a few
weeks away. In preparation for this anti-science institution we have
launched a petition for national educators.

From Kindergarten teachers to tenured professors, we are calling on
those who know first hand just how dangerous the religious right’s war
on science is to sign our petition condemning the Creation Museum.
Let’s make one thing clear, this isn’t about religion, it’s about bad
science. Ken Ham has spent $27 million to create a world where lies are
true. Check out this tidbit from the site of Answers in Genesis – Ham’s
creationist organization:

Adam and apes share the same birthday. The first man walked with
dinosaurs and named them all! God’s Word is true, or evolution is true.
No millions of years. There’s no room for compromise.

Nice attitude. Ham is of course free to believe what he wants, but we
are also free to voice our concern over Ham’s nefarious campaign to
confuse America’s children and undermine scientific understanding. If
you’re not an educator, click here to tell teachers, professors, and
scientists in your life to join our campaign.

AiG ACCUSED OF POLITICAL MOTIVES

As you are (or should be) aware, AiG has no political motives. Our
major emphasis is to disseminate information that is basically censored
from the culture. If people use this information to influence decisions
of school boards or politicians, so be it. However, AiG does not
involve itself in any political agendas. Our motive is pure and
simple: to teach people that the Bible is true and to proclaim the
gospel that is clearly taught in the Bible.

When someone signs one of the petitions against the Creation Museum, they are prompted to send the following email to a friend asking them to add their name:

The “Creation Museum,” an institution designed to promote the falsehood
that science supports the notion of a 6,000 year old Earth, is only the
most recent example of the religious right’s war on science education -
whether in the form of anti-evolution stickers in textbooks or the
promotion of intelligent design in the classroom.

As an educator, you are in a unique position to help defend science
education from the religious right’s outrageous campaign to teach
ignorance. Please, add your name to the petition created by the
Campaign to Defend the Constitution. Together, we can help protect real
science education.

Well, the Creation Museum certainly is gaining notoriety!

I’ve included a photograph of the new Pergola being built and two photos
of the work being done to asphalt the walking trails.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying
