I think the poster your commenting to was stating that the creationism museum was the 'worst' and the marine getting a robotic hand was the 'best' of America.

If I'm wrong I will

and he referred to it as the "worst" by calling it the "retard museum".

That's a really interesting article. So Answers in Genesis believe that a non-assument park will influence people to go to the Creation Museum? Why would one in-door ride about Abraham and Moses boost tourism and help increase attendance the Creation Museum?

And the final part is rather interesting too.

The Creation Museum evolves: Hoping to add a life-size ark project, the museum hits fundraising trouble

...
Once the Ark Encounter is built, Zovath is hoping 1.6 million people will flock to it in its first year—and boost the Creation Museum's attendance, too.
...
Ark Encounter will be a "Biblically themed attraction," not an amusement park, although there is one ride. "It's an indoor ride ... taking guests through the history of Israel from the call of Abraham and then Moses through the 10 plagues, and it ends with kind of a fun ride through the Red Sea as the Red Sea parts,"...
...
When I visited in June, a girl who looked about 10 years old rushed up to an exhibit that showed a giant hummingbird. Next to it, in shadow, were three other creatures—a pterodactyl, a bat and a small finch. "Look, this is evolution!" she said, pointing at the four creatures.

Her mother jerked her head around and walked up behind the girl. "You know what, honey? Those are just other animals that are designed to fly," she said, pointing at the exhibit's description.

"Oh," the little girl said, embarrassed she'd gotten it wrong.

From the news article:

Quote:

To add to the bad news, the Creation Museum is having its lowest attendance year yet. Last fiscal year, 280,000 people visited, compared to 404,000 the first year it opened in 2007. Zovath thinks that potential visitors have been less willing to travel to the museum because of the poor economy.

This brings to mind something about clouds and silver linings.

God will make sure they get all the funds to finish it, just have some faith. He doesn't necessarily help them get enough money to finish it quicker than Noah did -- and it took Noah a leisurely 600 years -- its not like anyone is actually going to need it.

Let's not get too far. Unless I misread the article, the Creation "Museum" isn't having money problems, rather they're having difficulty rasing the money for this new theme park. As good as it would be to see this place close down, I don't think that will happen for a good long time.

There is a billboard for the museum here in California ("Dragons," it says). So they obviously have enough money to advertise, at least.
