Advice to Travellers II (Life before Adam and Eve)
My advice to travellers series draws attention to localities and happenings around the world which you should avoid (see no. I) or visit (this one). In this post, you will see what we and all creatures on earth were like before Adam and Eve:
(Based on BBC News, 14.4.2007)
A new creationism museum is being built in Kentucky, in the middle of North America, within a day’s drive of two-thirds of the US population, and just 10 minutes from Cincinnati International Airport. That is why it was picked as the site for a new museum, due to open in a couple of months.
“It is the dream of Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, a Christian ministry that promotes the idea that the Biblical book of Genesis should be taken literally in describing the creation of the world, life and humans as carried out by God over a six-day period a few thousand years ago. He lectures or broadcasts almost daily and clearly has the charisma to raise $27m (£14m) for this ambitious museum.”
Apparently, “Tyrannosaurus rex and humans co-habited Earth
In one exhibit, on a rocky ledge, there is a pair of small theropods - young T. rex individuals, we’re told. And near to them (”hold onto your hat”, says Ken, anticipating our disbelief) there are two human children playing by a stream.”
“Most geologists would say humans and dinosaurs were separated by more than 60 million years. And those dinosaurs have very sharp teeth!
“So do bears”, says Ken, “but they eat nuts and berries! Remember, before the sin of Adam, the world was perfect. All creatures were vegetarian.” (bold by me). One of the dinosaurs lets out a rather contradictory roar.
Though the Bible does not mention them directly, Ken Ham thinks there is no reason to suppose that dinosaurs were not still around at the time of the flood.”
I believe the museum will be a roaring success and it is a must for everybody! You might meet a few illustrious people there!
