Has anyone ever visited a Creation Evidence Museum? I have seen television shows and websites sponored by a museum in Texas, and my impression was not favorable. I thought the information they put out was dishonest to the point of hilarity.
I would love to hear what someone who has actually been to one of these museums thinks.

Stay on Target..Stay on Target!!
It really doesn't have anything to do with why I started the thread. I just wanted to know what people thought of these museums and if anyone had actually visited one to give a first hand account. Living in Virginia, you'd think we would have one with all the Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons running around. Statewide we don't have crap for museums of any kind, science or otherwise...I suppose we leave that up to D.C.
From what I read (from their own web sites no less) about the Creation Evidence Museum in Texas, its just a lot of junk. "Archealogical" digs to find pottery with "evidence" of human/ dinosaur interaction. Recreations of the Garden of Eaden where a T-rex is eating a melon...things like that.

Re: Stay on Target..Stay on Target!!
Buz,
I don't consider artifacts junk. I guess by "junk" I was commenting more on the methods and content and direction the museum takes. If you dress things up and make them look official and cloak it in religion...you trick alot of people. The from of their web site
http://www.creationevidence.org/cemframes.html
there is a bit about human and dino foot prints together. Do you think this is real? Native American pottery that is supposed to have show eye witness accounts of dinos? Come on. He's so amazingly wrong its almost funny, but he's serious.

Review of this Museum
Here is a website that critiques the founder of the Creation Evidences Museum in Texas, one "Dr." Carl Baugh.
IBSS - Other Views - Carl Baugh
I found all kinds of stuff debunking this guy, from theories he proposes (such as a vegetarian T-Rex) and his dubious credentials. Even with all the questions about him, he still has a TV show on some religion only network call Trinity Boadcasting. Go figure.
