We visited another of the exhibits of Answers in Genesis, going to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, today.
 |
| Before we left to go to the Museum, our new friends Linda and Gary left on their motorcycle with their wonderfully compact pop-up behind them! Unfortunately it started raining pretty heavily just as they were getting ready to head out, so they had to don raingear at least for a little bit of their journey today. |
The Creation Museum was about an hour away from our campground, and we got there a bit after 11am, again thinking that the early morning folks would be further along through the museum by this point. Unfortunately, no one had *left* the parking lot yet, so we had to park quite a distance from the museum, but that allowed us to get some of our steps in on our way to the main entrance! And, I do think it helped with putting us behind the big crowds in visiting the museum.
 |
| This is a map of the inside of the museum. It was pretty neat how it led you continuously through, with a very long ramp that took the exhibit space down from the second floor (where we entered) down to the first floor. There were "bypass" doors that could be used to skip through to another part of the exhibit, but we just stayed on the main path. I enjoyed using the audio tour (via internet site) with Ken Ham narrating in the various parts of the museum. |
Some pictures from within the museum:
 |
| Some of the human authors of the Bible - Isaiah, Moses, David (I remember so enjoying visiting museums and churches in Europe with Aunt Libby because she always knew who the paintings or sculptures were depicting by what they had in their hands - Isaiah with the scrolls, Moses with the tablets of the law, David with a musical instrument -- in this diorama)... |
 |
| Peter and John at the empty tomb... |
 |
| Paul |
 |
| There were also those who served to preserve scripture - Martin Luther... |
 |
| and his Theses... |
 |
| A reproduction of the Gutenberg press that allowed scriptures to be more widely available. |
 |
| At the end of the tour, we ended up in the huge bookstore. There was again an audio recording with Ken Ham pointing out features of the bookstore - even with its great size, I don't think I would have noticed the dragon reading a book if I had not listened to the audio! |
 |
| On our way back to the parking lot, we took the path through the gardens... |
 |
| - it was quite beautiful... albeit HOT! |
 |
| We then had dinner along the Ohio River (on the Kentucky side) with former co-worker of Dwayne's Terri, her husband Paul, and grandson Michael (behind the to-go box - he didn't want to be in the picture!). |
 |
| After dinner, we drove to the Marriott in Covington where Dwayne stayed when in this area to see the murals along the river. They are called the Roebling Murals... |
 |
| Evidently named for the bridge nearby which was built by John A Roebling. |
Interestingly, we met a lady and man who were also viewing the murals (and staying at the Marriott) - they asked us if we were there for the Physics meeting... we said "no", but asked about what meeting they were attending. It seems that they were here for a Physics Teachers Association - they are both teachers of Physics at a college in Oklahoma (the name of which I can't remember). We talked a bit about Physics and where their students end up working (many in medical physics now). For those who do not know... I majored in Physics (and Math) way back in the dark ages at College of William and Mary in Virginia. It was interesting to talk with the two teachers of Physics and learn some about the current students in the field.
Even though the ticket that we got allowed us to go to the Creation Museum for two days, we decided we had enjoyed all we wanted to do today... so we're planning a relaxing day at the rig tomorrow before leaving here on Sunday.
