You'd think with all the faithful we have here in God's Country, this Christian Nation as some refer to it, a museum about Adam & Eve, the Ark and who knows what else the good book sells, would thrive.
Well...apparently not.

Gee. I can't imagine what could have gone wrong...

Mark Joseph Stern from Slate.com writes:A spectacle like the Creation Museum has a pretty limited audience. Sure, 46 percent of Americans profess to believe in creationism, but how many are enthusiastic enough to venture to Kentucky to spend nearly $30 to see a diorama of a little boy palling around with a vegetarian dinosaur? The museum’s target demographic may not be eager to lay down that much money: Belief in creationism correlates to less education, and less education correlates to lower income.
In hopes to draw repeat customers, the museum has added zip-lining and sky bridge courses to their attractions this summer. But when confronted by critics who wonder what the zip-lining and sky bridge attractions have to do with the museum’s message, Mike Zovath, the museums co-founder and vice president, says that the extra activities are irrelevant.
