    RIGHTING AMERICA AT THE CREATION MUSEUM by Susan L. Trollinger and William Vance Trollinger, Jr. A Concise Overview • The Creation Museum is the crown jewel of the Answers in Genesis apologetics enterprise, an impressive and sophisticated visual argument on behalf of young Earth creationism and a highly politicized fundamentalism. • More than anything else, the Answers in Genesis enterprise (including the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter) is best understood as a Christian Right site that relentlessly and aggressively promotes a highly ideological and radically politicized young Earth creationism as true Christianity, and that aims its attacks on – in particular – academics, feminists, gays/lesbians, and political and religious liberals. • The Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis seek to shape, prepare, and arm millions of American Christians as uncompromising and fearless warriors for what it understands to be the ongoing culture war in America. • To understand how American politics got to be where it is in 2016 -- where Donald Trump is the Republican presidential nominee, and where "facts" seem to have little bearing on his popularity -- one very good place to start is the Creation Museum. • At the Creation Museum and (of course) Ark Encounter the Flood of Genesis 6-8 is very important: not only is it used to explain away mainstream geology, but it also describes an overwhelmingly violent past Judgment that prefigures the future Judgment that will result in slaughter and eternal damnation of billions of people not in the camp of True Christians. • As bizarre as it may seem – with its claim that the God of the Bible created the universe in six consecutive 24-hour days less than 10,000 years ago – the Creation Museum lies squarely within the mainstream of the American cultural, political, and religious right.

  • Ken Ham Biography
    Ken A. Ham President/CEO Answers in Genesis Ken Ham is the president and co-founder of Answers in Genesis, an apologetics (i.e., Bible defending) ministry upholding the authority of the Bible from the first verse. The visionary behind the popular, high-tech Creation Museum near Cincinnati – which has had more than 2.5 million visitors in eight years – and also the future Ark Encounter, Ham is also a best-selling author, (“The Lie,” “Already Gone”) popular speaker, and host of a daily radio feature on 1,000 plus stations. Ham, a native of Australia, earned a bachelor’s degree in applied science (with an emphasis in environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology and a diploma of education at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. Upon graduation, Ham began his initial career as a science teacher in Australia’s public schools. He holds three honorary doctorates. In 1974, a friend from church told Ham about a book called “The Genesis Flood,” in which Drs. Henry Morris and John Whitcomb scientifically explain the geologic-transforming effects of Noah’s global Flood. Over 40 years later, it is appropriate that Ham will be opening a life-size Noah’s Ark south of Cincinnati (July 7, 2016). Burdened to tell others the facts supporting a biblical view of creation and the truth of Scripture, Ham spent his weekends speaking to various groups about creationism. In 1979, Ham left his teaching position and co-founded The Creation Science Foundation (CSF) out of his home. He borrowed money to build an extension onto his house and used a small retirement payment to buy the ministry’s first photocopier and electric typewriter.

This has been occurring as God’s Word has been progressively removed from almost every area of public infl uence. The Bible has been deemed by many to be a book of fables and stories, and the church has lost much of its salty infl uence (Matthew 5:13). Research has revealed that two-thirds of our youth growing up in Christian homes are walking away from the church. The exodus is largely happening because young people aren’t being given answers to the skeptical questions of this era and it has caused them to doubt the Bible is true. They also have seen so many Christian leaders who were compromising God’s Word beginning in Genesis. Yes, we live in a world that is growing spiritually darker every day.

  • Fossilized Jews and Witnessing Dinosaurs at the Creation Museum: Public Remembering and Forgetting at a Young Earth Creationist “Memory Place”
    SCJR 14, no. 1 (2019): 1-25 Fossilized Jews and Witnessing Dinosaurs at the Creation Museum: Public Remembering and Forgetting at a Young Earth Creationist “Memory Place” DUSTIN NASH [email protected] Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA 18104 Introduction1 Since opening in May 2007 in Petersburg, Kentucky, the Creation Museum has defined itself as a “$27 million, high-tech masterpiece.”2 The facility is the brainchild of Ken Ham, co-founder and president of the Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis (or AiG). As such, it represents his decades-long de- sire to erect a museum that would challenge a secular, evolutionary description of our planet’s natural history.3 In its place, the Creation Museum argues that sci- ence, when properly understood, aligns with the biblical account of God’s creation of the cosmos. This claim stands at the heart of Young Earth Creation- ism: a particular religio-scientific ideology and counter-cultural movement that claims God created the Earth and all life upon it a little less than 6,000 years ago.4 1 Examination of the Creation Museum by my students in the course “Proving the Unprovable: Reli- gion, Science, and the ‘Unknown’ in Modernity” from 2016-2017 greatly advanced the research that supports the present study. I wish to cite them by name in thanks for their insights and probing ques- tions: Lauren Brinkman, Michael Colasurdo, Faryd Daza, Colin Deitch, Steven Di Preta, Michael Dougan, Nathan Emrick, Brianna Ennis, Ariana Feliziani, Evan Giannetti, Devin Goldsmith, Daniel Hanna, Jared Hildreth, Sarah Hunter, Benjamin Katz, Emily Lax, Stephen Lederkramer, Jocelyn Lengen, Alexander Mack, Maxwell Marcus, Ari Matlick, Delsin Mayne, Arianna Mesrobian, Chris- tian Nazare, Patrick Palmer, Raquel Rotem, Brent Siegel, Benjamin Solomon, Jon Stoerrle, and Liana Zaino.

Category Storms At the time of writing, Hurricane Florence is gathering off the coast of the Carolinas. A compulsory evacuation order has been issued. Those who could not make their way out of the path of surging waters due to the prohibitive costs of transport, incapacity, imprisonment, or some other form of confinement, or for whom taking shelter in public emergency facilities might precipitate deportation, have been left to survive a disaster defined as natural.1 These compulsory evacuation orders are not the empowerment of movement. They are the stratified distributions of risk and loopholes of liability—the speech acts of a remarkable convergence of eschatology, government, and finance that defines the limits of insurability, and treats the contingent circumstances in which individuals find themselves as necessity, an inherent but fateful or fortunate property. In the wake of the devastation that took place in Puerto Rico a year ago, definitions of “natural disaster,” questions of causality, and the numbering and evaluation of the living and the dead are uppermost and controverted, as are questions about the infrastructures of care that filter emergency relief.

Little did she know the dynamic impact that her visit would W have, not only on her life, but our family’s as well. Maybe, after reading this commentary, it will also change your perspective of Scripture as inspired by our Heavenly Father. The change I’m referring to had more to do with what happened after Kathy’s return home than her actual experience touring the Answers in Genesis awe-inspiring replica of Noah’s Ark. In the course of showing us her various photos, one thing led to another and eventually the discussion of Creation versus Evolution arose. Kathy is one of those kindred spirits who loves listening to creationists’ answers to evolutionists’ claims. She has joined us in watching many hours of creationist Kent Hovind’s video seminars, and in the course of discussing our insights, we occasionally discuss my old college days when I was either an agnostic or atheist, depending on how you look at it.
