Science! A Cadre of Old, White Guys Plot a Creationist Science Museum
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Last spring, cartoonist Jack Pollock and I attended the 25th annual Northwest Creationist Conference and were surprised to discover that our regional band of creationists are planning to build the nation's largest Bible-based science museum right here in the northwest! Woohoo!
The museum, if you recall, will be a life size replica of Noah's Ark (visible from the Interstate!) with a dinosaur skeleton on the front. They need $25 million to build the museum in Treasure Valley, Idaho. As I was nostalgically reminiscing about the best stories of the year, I checked out their website and hey! They have a new promotional video.
