Creation Museum still a hit (Ky)
Instead of going directly to a family gathering in Illinois, Larry and Shirley Lawrence of Hattiesburg, Miss., stopped by the Creation Museum in Petersburg.
Larry Lawrence said he wanted to visit the museum because you see so much in the media and so much has been written proving evolution.
"It was just real interesting to me to see something that gives the opposing viewpoint," he said.
The Lawrences are among thousands of visitors that have trekked their way to the controversial museum since it officially opened on Memorial Day last year. A year after that opening, the museum continues to draw thousands of visitors.
The museum depicts creationists' literal interpretation of the Bible's Book of Genesis on how the Earth and mankind were created. Answers in Genesis, a Christian organization, operates the museum that was years in the making.
The Lawrences had gone through part of the museum and Shirley said the museum was "right on target with the Bible."
The museum is approaching its 400,000th visitor, exceeding expectations.
