CREATION MUSEUM ~ September 25, 2007

The day after we went to Legoland, we visited The Museum of Creation and Earth History in Santee, CA just northeast of San Diego. While there’s been a lot of interest in the AiG Creation Museum in Kentucky since it opened this summer, it’s nice to know that there is a Creation Museum on the west coast for those of us who aren’t able to travel back east. The Museum of Creation and Earth History is operated by the Institute for Creation Research Center founded by Dr. Henry Morris. (This is where Ken Ham used to work before he founded Answers in Genesis.) Exhibits are laid out like a walk through time, explaining the history of the earth and universe according to the Bible beginning with Creation. (This part reminded me of the Adventure walk-through at Legoland!) Other exhibits explain ongoing ICR research in genetics, plate tectonics, radioisotope dating, and weather modeling. Plan to spend 1½-2 hours at this museum with your children, although high school students and adults could stay even longer. Admission is FREE! However, you will probably want to purchase some educational resources in their bookstore to bring home for further study. Visit their website: http://www.icr.org/museum
