The Creation Museum and Christianity

This account is from the New York Times story on the opening of the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky:

There are 52 videos in the museum, one showing how the transformations wrought by the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 reveal how plausible it is that the waters of Noah’s flood could have carved out the Grand Canyon within days. There is a special-effects theater complete with vibrating seats meant to evoke the flood, and a planetarium paying tribute to God’s glory while exploring the nature of galaxies.

The Museum captures the heart of contemporary, evangelical Christianity--putting on a good show.
