The Courier-Journal reports:
Two years after its controversial opening, the Creation Museum has drawn 720,000 visitors, far more than the 250,000 annually organizers predicted. It brought in $7 million in receipts last fiscal year, with organizers saying it has had an economic impact of more than $20 million.
While this is no surprise, the most disturbing part of the article said this:
Several public schools have made the trip, museum officials said, declining to identify them.
According to Kentucky’s Department of Education representative Lisa Gross, there is no law against teachers talking about creationism or evolution. In fact, Kentucky schools aren’t required to teach science at all (although most do).
When the Creation Museum first opened, I linked to a great YouTube video that shows the Museum was built upon a world famous fossil layer. The video has now been expanded and in two parts. The irony is unbelievable.
