What moved you to create \/ to build a first-class museum called the Creation Museum?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Well, you know some of the history of my parents and their influence on us and then me becoming a teacher. When I was teaching, I also took my students to secular museums; and they\u2019re all from an evolutionary perspective. I had that real burden\u2014I was thinking\u2014like that Nehemiah principle, you know: \u201cWhy don\u2019t we do something about this?!\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was thinking: \u201cWhy can\u2019t we have a creation museum? Why can\u2019t we have a museum, where we actually teach the truth from God\u2019s Word?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBack in the early \u201980s, I and a Board member of the ministry I started in our house in Australia\u2014we actually found a piece of property, and we prayed over that property together that God would let us build a creation museum. I didn\u2019t know that the Lord would answer that prayer, nearly 40 years later, in the state of Kentucky in America. Actually, it\u2019s within a one-day drive of two thirds of America\u2019s population\u2014so it\u2019s very central to the population. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe moved out to Kentucky, specifically, to fulfill that vision \/ that burden the Lord had given me many, many years earlier in Australia\u2014that we prayed for. It\u2019s a reminder, too, that things don\u2019t always happen the way <em>we<\/em> want them to happen. God\u2019s ways are not <em>our<\/em> ways. I\u2019ve always reminded\u2014I\u2019ve been reminded, many times, over the years of\u2014well, how did the Israelites conquer the Promised Land? It was little by little by little by little.

But that\u2019s really where the burden came from.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>A lot of people think about a museum\u2014and maybe they\u2019ve been to the Smithsonian; or if they\u2019ve been to London, they\u2019ve been to the museum there and seen the Rosetta Stone. They think of exhibits behind glass; and you walk through, quietly, and you look and you look. Your idea of a museum is kind of like\u2014<em>that<\/em> meets Disneyworld; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Right; exactly. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You put the two together to make it something that would be, not just interesting, but <em>fun<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ken: <\/strong>Well, I had this script I\u2019d written on the walk through the Bible\u2014because, really, that\u2019s what the Creation Museum is\u2014a walk through the Bible. What I want to do is\u2014to present the history in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation; answer skeptical questions to help people understand that history is true; wanted mums and dads, with their children, to be able to experience creation, and the flood, and the Tower of Babel; and to help them connect the Bible to the real world. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe Bible connects to fossils and to the Grand Canyon; it connects to the American Indians; it connects to death and suffering\u2014it connects to everything. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI had this concept of: \u201cOkay; a chronological approach to teaching the Bible,\u201d and then\u2014using fossils, and dinosaurs, and things that you would see in museums and that\u2014but doing it from a perspective of the Bible\u2019s history being the foundation for this. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe didn\u2019t know how to build a creation museum. I and one of the other founders with me\u2014we designed a building\u2014big box, if you like. I remember saying to Mike, who was one of the founders, \u201cI don\u2019t know how we\u2019re going to do this.\u201d We met a guy called Buddy Davis, who had these dinosaur sculptures: \u201cWe can use the dinosaurs; but \u201cWhat are we going to do? I mean, how are we really going to do this?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOut of the blue, we received an email from a guy called Patrick Marsh, who was in Japan. He said, \u201cHey, I heard you were building a creation museum,\u201d because it was actually in the newspaper. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd he said: \u201cHey, I\u2019ve worked for Universal Studios in Florida as head of design for <em>King<\/em> <em>Kong<\/em> and <em>Jaws<\/em>.

I know the most-asked questions people ask today\u2014it\u2019s: \u201cHow can you believe the Bible?\u2014the science and history of the Bible?\u201d \u201cNoah couldn\u2019t get the animals on the ark.\u201d That\u2019s one of the reasons we wanted to build a life-sized ark; because we heard that question over and over again: \u201cHow could Noah fit all the animals on the ark?\u201d and \u201cWhere\u2019s the evidence for the flood anyway?\u201d and \u201cWhere did Cain get his wife?\u201d \u201cWhat about the ape men?\u201d \u201cWhat about dinosaurs?\u201d We\u2019ve heard all those questions; and at the museum and the Ark, we answer those questions.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI remember there was\u2014one of the non-Christian leaders in our community in northern Kentucky wanted to go to the Ark; and I took him there.

I didn\u2019t realize Noah\u2019s ark was <em>so big<\/em>!\u201d You <em>really<\/em> can\u2019t understand it till you go there and stand there, and actually stand below it, and then go into it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then he turned to me and he said this\u2014keep in mind, he\u2019s a non-Christian\u2014he said, \u201cYou know, maybe Noah could have fit all those animals on board.\u201d You see, that really is the point\u2014that as soon as the kids see this, it gets rid of all those fairy-tale-like ideas. They realize this was a huge ship; because it was designed as a wooden ship and built as a building\u2014that\u2019s what we did. They see it built with real wood, and it makes it come alive and real for them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You built it with hundreds of workers and cranes and trucks. Noah built it with his three sons.

What tools did he have?\u201d \u201cUh, well; I don\u2019t know.\u201d See, a lot of people actually have an evolutionary view of history, where they think: \u201cNoah\u2019s not as good as us,\u201d and \u201cHe was primitive,\u201d and so on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut look at what Scripture says\u2014within seven generations of Adam, there are workers of bronze and iron. When you have people\u2014like, think of some of the most brilliant people that have invented all sorts of things in our modern day\u2014like Thomas Edison\u2014imagine if you have people like Thomas Edison living for hundreds of years.

Who knows what technology they might have accumulated?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, just as we hired all sorts of contractors to build the Ark, maybe Noah hired all sorts of contractors.
