Museum says dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark

Like many modern museums, the newest US tourist attraction includes some awesome exhibits — roaring dinosaurs and a life-sized ship.

The Christian creators of the sprawling museum, unveiled, hope to draw as many as half a million people each year to their state-of-the-art project, which depicts the Bible’s first book, Genesis, as literal truth.

Here exhibits show the Grand Canyon took just days to form during Noah’s flood, dinosaurs coexisted with humans and had a place on Noah’s Ark, and Cain married his sister to people the earth, among other Biblical wonders.

Scientists, secularists and moderate Christians have pledged to protest the museum’s public opening. An airplane trailing a ‘Thou Shalt Not Lie’ banner buzzed overhead during the museum’s opening news conference.

Opponents argue that children who see the exhibits will be confused when they learn in school that the universe is 14 billion years old rather than 6,000. A Gallup poll last year showed almost half of Americans believe that humans did not evolve but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years.
