Soon, very soon, Kentucky will officially be recognized as the Mecca of creationism.<\/p>\n

Ken Ham has his Creation Museum and soon he\u2019ll also have a Noah\u2019s ark themed water park.<\/p>\n

Well, it looks like there\u2019s a newcomer on the block who\u2019s looking to set up shop right between the two, turning rural Kentucky into the premier vacation destination for fundamentalist Christians everywhere.<\/p>\n

Another creation science attraction plans Northern Kentucky home<\/h1>\n
By Mark Hansel, The Cincinnati Enquirer<\/em><\/p>\n
If the dream of a New Jersey group comes to life, another creationist attraction will locate in Northern Kentucky.<\/p>\n
Founders of the Creation Science Hall of Fame, which now exists only as a website, would like to build a brick-and mortar structure along Interstate 75. The group will consider vacant land and the renovation of an existing site.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we have the funds, we would like to locate on the highway, about halfway between the\u00a0Creation Museum\u00a0and the Ark Encounter,\u201d said Terry Hurlbut, secretary\/treasurer of the group. \u201cWhat better place to locate than between these two attractions? We envision that, as people fly or drive in to see them, we will be a stop along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hurlbut emphasized that the\u00a0Creation\u00a0Science Hall of Fame is not affiliated with the\u00a0Creation Museum\u00a0in Petersburg, which opened in 2007. The 70,000-square-foot museum includes displays featuring\u00a0Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden\u00a0and dinosaurs, which its founders believe co-existed.<\/p>\n
Nor is the Hall of Fame affiliated with the planned Ark Encounter, a themed attraction in Grant County, about 40 miles south of Cincinnati. It\u2019s envisioned to include a replica of Noah\u2019s Ark and other attractions.<\/p>\n
The Creation Museum is run by Answers in Genesis, the ministry that embraces a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis and believes the earth is only 6,000 years old. Answers in Genesis is also a partner in the Ark Encounter project.<\/p>\n
\u201cCertainly, it\u2019s fair to say that we share with them the belief that we did not get here by accident or through some cosmic crapshoot,\u201d Hurlbut said.<\/p>\n
The Creation Science Hall of Fame was developed as a website in 2009 and is devoted to sharing the beliefs of creationism.<\/p>\n
