I posted here because I am viewing the existence of this museum from the point of view of psychology & sociology.
It amazes me that there are allegedly educated folks who believe in some variation of creationism.

At the 75,000-square-foot Creation Museum, the pages of the Bible dramatically come to life. Journey through biblical history as you marvel at the Garden of Eden alongside Adam and Eve. Spot the serpent coiled among the tempting fruit, and discover more about Noah’s Ark and the Flood. You’ll see state-of-the-art exhibits, fossils, and even a full-size Allosaurus skeleton. Next, soar on our zip lines or challenge your skills on an aerial adventure course. Then tour the beautiful botanical gardens as you make your way to our petting zoo and camel rides.

Creationism needs the kids too. Every inch of the $27 million dollar Creation Museum, from the towering mastadon skeleton in the lobby to its zip lines and petting zoo, is designed to appeal to children.
Animatronic puppets explain the exile of Adam and Eve from their paradise of frolicking vegetarian dinosaurs and the construction of Noah’s Ark, while videos showing teenagers consuming Internet pornography or wives dissing their husbands behind their back are used to illustrate the fallen nature of the world.
With its alternative narrative of a world where the biblical flood carved the Grand Canyon, racial differences were created by a mass migration following the destruction of the Tower of Babel, and all human suffering can be reduced to a rejection of Christianity, the Creation Museum offers hope for parents who want to arm their children against the atheist indoctrination of evolution.
There are several different forms of creationism. But Ham’s organization, Answers in Genesis, is perhaps the biggest proponent of young earth creationism – the belief that the Earth is at maximum ten thousand years old

). Sometimes this is in pursuit of another belief. Ken Ham and the creationists, for example, think society has become godless - and thus degenerate - as a result of the philosophical materialism of science and want to re-insert God into science teaching. Affecting to believe in creationism is for them a means to that end.
