Baby Dinosaurs in Noah's Ark!

Transcript of today's show:

Yes, there were baby dinosaurs in Noah's Ark, according to Australian evangelist Ken Ham, whose Creation Musuem opens this Memorial Day. The Baby Dinosaurs were in the Ark because they were small enough to fit and co-existed with mankind on an Earth that is only 6,000 years old, according to Answers in Genesis, the organization responsible for the Museum opening May 28th near Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Voice of Science: Shelley Greene, Ph.D., comments:
Sure, Ken, go ahead and rewrite anthropological history. Hey, your guess might be as good as anyone elses'. Though it's too bad you don't like that carbon dating thing. I understand how it completely throws off your biblical data vis-à-vis the age of the earth, the time of the dinosaurs and the date of Noah's voyage. So, yeah, if the empirical tool doesn't support your theory, hell yes, throw it out! (And don't let the scientists' vehement disapproval of that practice deter you. What do they know? Most of them are atheists!).

And Ken, if you're going to ditch a precision scientific tool, carbon dating is the perfect choice: now you can date historical events to your heart's content! For a Biblical literalist, you can get a lot of mileage out of this one. Brilliant, Ken, you've done it again.

The Voice of Faith: Peter Williamson, M.Div., comments:
They said it couldn’t be done. By “they” I mean the godless Darwinists who claim that Biblical knowledge cannot be reconciled with science. Ken Ham has done so seamlessly, elegantly and with a child-friendly presentation. He has not left science behind, as the unbelieving naysayers insist. The quality of the exhibits and the science from which they were conceived and created rival the best natural history museums in the world. It is not what Ken Ham 'left out' that makes this museum so controversial, it’s what he has revealed -- the Gospel truth about our origins, which incidentally, hundreds of millions of Christians and Jews have accepted for thousands of years. This museum is for their edification and pleasure. And for you who cannot handle the Truth, take the kids to DisneyWorld.

A creationist museum replete with Noah’s Ark

Transcript of today's show:

In May 2007, Australian evangelical Ken Ham will open a 47 acre museum completely oriented around stories from the Old Testament. Here you will see actual exhibits, including Noah’s Ark, depicting the earth’s creation. The flamboyant, outspoken Ken Ham describes his museum as a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are, quote: “turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture.” [source: Answers in Genesis]

The Voice of Science: Shelley Greene, Ph.D., comments:
Our good friend Webster defines museum as "A building, place, or institution devoted to the acquisition, conservation, study, exhibition, and educational interpretation of objects having scientific, historical, or artistic value. Mr. Ham's creation museum will certainly be artistic, but in no way will offer scientific nor historical meaning. I do hope that school children are not brought to this museum under the guise of a science or history field trip. What a great disservice that would be to the integrity of our kid's science education.

The Voice of Faith: Peter Williamson, M.Div., comments:
The real story -- the true story -- of our origins and history need to be told. I applaud Ken Ham for his grand and bold depiction of the stories and events that have been supressed far too long by atheistic science. This museum is an outstanding vehicle for proclaiming the inspiring truth of the Bible, and I pray that it spread the word to countless thousands and contribute to the transformation of our society.
