A $25 million creation museum is under construction in rural Kentucky, with the intention of challenging the scientific consensus view of origins. MSNBC tells us about it in a story titled High-tech museum brings creationism to life. They quote Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis saying,
If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, thats our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there,
I appreciated this post from Monastic Mumblings. (HT: The Moderate Christian Blogroll [RSS]) I would like two add just a couple of notes. First, I think we begin to depend on politics when we cease to depend on the gospel. If we truly believe that Jesus can change lives, then we also must believe that…

I missed that MSNBC article about the Creation Museum, so thanks for linking to it in your post. I agree with you: I think the museum’s approach is all wrong. That Faith, Form, and Time book looks pretty interesting; I might check that out when I chance.
