Non-government organization Answers in Genesis has just put up a US$ 27 million Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky depicting a dinosaur sailing on Noah's Ark.

It might sound funny to some and it might look a bit absurd but this has bigger implications and is part of the endless debate between the creationists and evolutionists.

The museum showcases the creationists' stand that our Earth was created by God in six days around 6,000 years ago. Other exhibits include the Grand Canyon taking just days to form during Noah's flood, dinosaurs co-existing with humans and Cain marrying his sister to people the earth.

Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham commented, "What we've done here is to give people an opportunity to hear information that is not readily available... to challenge them that really you can believe the Bible's history."

Those who are not in favor of the museum maintain that it will ultimately confuse children, however.

"Teachers don't deserve a student coming into class saying 'Gee Mrs. Brown, I went to this fancy museum and it said you're teaching me a lie,'" said Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education Dr. Eugenie Scott just before the said museum was opened last Saturday.
