Are you tired of sending your children to the museum and having them come back acting all smarter then you? Well then this is the museum for you.

The Christian creators of the sprawling museum, unveiled on Saturday, 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.

While the $27 million museum near Cincinnati has drawn snickers from media and condemnation from U.S. scientists, those who believe God created the heavens and the Earth in six days about 6,000 years ago say their views are finally being represented.

"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," said Ken Ham, president of the group Answers in Genesis that founded the museum.

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.

I think that I may have lost a few brain cells just reading the "information" above.

So I guess if you want your children to grow up just as ignorant and superstitious as you are then this is the place to send them.

But what can you expect from a religion that claims we are still being punished for Adam and Eve's original sin of seeking knowledge? Because as every fundamentalist Christian knows, learning is bad and believing is good.
