Did you know...?

Instead of posting pics of the Creation museum displays, let me just share some of the things I learned. (These are exact quotes from the exhibits.)

1. Virtually anywhere we look we find an amazing variety of organisms. There is not enough time, even in billions of years, to get such differences from a common ancestor. The Bible tells us where this amazing variety came from -- created by an all knowing, all powerful, creative God.
2. Fossil layers were formed by Noah's flood (~4,350 years ago) and its aftermath.
3. Dinosaur fossils don't come with tags on them telling us how old they are, where they lived, what they ate, or how they died. We have to figure out that from a few clues we find. But because we never have all the evidence, different scientists can reach very different conclusions, depending on their starting assumptions.
4. The Bible claims the universe had a beginning. Philosophers and scientists rejected that claim for over two thousand years. Now astronomers believe the universe had to have a beginning.
5. What did dinosaurs eat? Before man's fall, animals were vegetarians. In a "very good" creation, no animal would die, so there were no carnivores.
6. The current Colorado River does not cut downward, suggesting that modern erosion cannot explain the Grand Canyon.
7. Basalt lavas dated by different methods give very different dates, suggesting radioactive decay rates were faster in the past.
8. As North America cooled after the flood, larger species replaced smaller species. Present changes are too small and too slow to explain these differences, suggesting God provided organisms with special tools to change rapidly.

Words escape me, but I'm fairly certain that no further commentary is required.
