Halfway into its first year, the Creation Museum is on the verge of surpassing its projected year-long attendance goal of 250,000. Officials now expect nearly 400,000 people to pass through the doors by year&#8217;s end. At least 10,000 people have paid for year-round access. The museum argues that the Bible&#8217;s book of Genesis is exactly how the world was formed \u2014 in six 24-hour days. Specifically, the museum&#8217;s exhibits claim that the Earth is 6,000 years old, not billions; that dinosaurs and man coexisted; and that geologic features such as the Grand Canyon and fossils were created in a global flood provoked by Adam&#8217;s and Eve&#8217;s original sin. Polls show that many Americans already agree with some of the museum&#8217;s claims. A 2006 CBS poll found that 51% of Americans think God created humans in their present form. Just 15% said that humans evolved and God was not involved.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: Of course, you all know about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/LIVING\/wayoflife\/11\/02\/g-d.tube.ap\/index.html\">GodTube<\/a>, the Christian YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigh.
