Answer in Genesis's Creation Museum was shamelessly attacked this week along with the Cincinnati Zoo, when a package deal for both events was released to the public. Unwittingly, the controversy generated international publicity better than anything planned by the companies marketing departments, let's pray that God continues to support the work of Ken Ham and all of the dedicated employees and volunteers at the Museum.

The chief complaint is that a "scientific" institution is siding with a religious institution. No, it is because it is a Christian institution claiming the bible as it's source of authority, specifically Genesis 1:1-10.
Since most people count creation as fable and myth, why the uproar? What harm is there to those that don't believe in the biblical account of the beginning of mankind? Those that don't want to attend can simply purchase discounted tickets via another avenue. Tickets to the Cincinnati Zoo's festival of lights are available at most companies in town for a discounted rate. Certainly the promotion does not force anyone to attend or support something they don't believe in.
The problem is that society is tolerant except to those that they believe "arrogantly" claim as truth: that the biblical account of creation is true. The backlash started from the atheist group, Panda's Thumb, and specifically PZ Myers.
If you as a Christian do not believe in the truth of six day creation, you might rethink your position. Unbelievers and atheists have expanded a great deal of energy to fight a simple promotion. They claim the museum is laughable. What they really fear is that this promotion makes the creation account credible and the general public might rethink their postion of creation vs evolution. If creation was really a fable and unbelievers truly believed it was a laughable fable, than they would not care about this promotion. Deep down they fear the creation story. Defend the truth Christian, the atheists are on the defensive. There is more to this story and more to their nervous denials of "in the beginning".
