Tomorrow, just across the river from Cincinatti, Ohio the Creation Museum will open its doors and a shot will be fired from the ranks of Creationism onto secularists' beliefs based on the theory of evolution.
Most Americans have been taught through secular public schools to believe that the universe evolved over millions of years. Since no one was there to scientifically observe and record what happened in the beginning, we have only speculation and conjecture upon which to base our origin theories.
At one time, Darwin's views were blatantly rejected. But as time went by, those anxious to escape accountability to a Creator embraced a system of beliefs that excluded a Designer. Evolution gradually became accepted as truth and Biblical literacists are now scoffed and ridiculed for believing the universe originated with an Architect and a design.
It takes faith to believe in either Darwin's theory or the Biblical version of beginnings. And despite secularists' insistence that humankind has evolved over millions of years, a challenge to the status quo will present itself Monday when the doors on the Creation Museum open to a completely different perspective on the universe, one Creationists suggest may be only 6,000 years old.
Congratulations to those visionaries who privately invested $27 million in this education source for the American public. Free-thinkers everywhere should revel in this revived debate about our universe's origins.
It's the first breath of intellectual fresh air we've had in years.
