#9. The Creation Museum Opens
The Creation Museum, which opened in Petersburg, Ky., in May is a
multimillion-dollar extravaganza that reaffirms the scientific validity of
the Flintstones. The museum illustrates so-called "young earth" creationism,
which takes the Bible's description of God's six-day schedule literally. The
attraction exceeded its one-year attendance expectations within five months.
The museum will be attended mostly by fly-over citizens, but it is a
valuable reminder to folks on the coasts that more than 70% of Americans
(and at least one current Presidential candidate) believe in some sort of
Creationism.
