35. My brother just visited the " Creation Museum"

and sent me lots of pictures of the exhibits pushing this "grand canyon was formed by Noah's flood"
"theory". I was shocked. It was a oage taken straight out of medieval times.
This attraction draws millions each year.
Now I am wondering what other types of exhibits they will force on the believing public, and wonder how far they get to go with this. They already have dinosaurs boarding the ark.
