10 most-asked questions about the future Creation Museum

1. Why is this museum needed?
   Our increasingly anti-Christian country must return to a belief in the authority of the Bible and be presented with the life-changing gospel message. Evolutionary indoctrination has undermined the Christian foundations in America.

2. What is so different about this museum?
   Almost all natural history museums proclaim an evolutionary, humanistic worldview. For example, they will typically place dinosaurs on an evolutionary timeline millions of years before man. AiG’s museum will proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will show that there is a Creator, and that this Creator is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-20), who is our Savior.

3. What kind of exhibits will I find in it?
   The 60,000 square-foot museum will be filled with life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, fossil and mineral collections, waterfalls, live exhibits (poison dart frogs, fish, turtles, bugs and more), and many other first-class exhibits (plus a planetarium) will proclaim the authority of the Bible from its very first verse.

4. When will it open?
   Our faith target date is May 28, 2007.

5. Why did you choose the Cincinnati area?
   Almost 2/3 of America’s population can drive to Cincinnati in one day (within a 650-mile drive)! In addition to those 185 million Americans, millions of Canadians in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec can also drive here in one day. Most convenient, the museum will be close to I-75, the busiest north/south interstate in America, and for those who might fly here, the Cincinnati Airport is only two exits away.

6. What will the complex cost?
   $27 million. Virtually all the money has come in (as of early April 2007), and today additional donations are being received for the museum’s operating costs.

7. How can people give to help with the operating costs as the museum prepares to open May 28?
   In addition to outright gifts of cash, supporters can consider donations of appreciated securities, appreciated real estate, and also gifts that return income (e.g., charitable gift annuities, trust remainder bequests, etc.).

8. Will the museum be “family friendly?”
   Children and adults will enjoy interactive exhibits, videos, a planetarium, nature trails, etc.

9. Who are the leaders of Answers in Genesis?
   AiG’s board of directors consists of Christian leaders who are thoroughly committed to proclaiming biblical truths and reaching the world for the cause of Christ. The individual members bring to the board a wide background of professional and pastoral experiences. Each is a godly man who walks with the Lord in wisdom and maturity. AiG’s president is Ken Ham, well-known speaker, author and radio host. AiG is a non-profit para-church minstry, having no affiliation with any particular denomination.
