Ham contends that faulty science incorrectly dates fossils by millions of years. The animals we have today are descendants of those that got off Noah's ark, going back to those that God made originally. I believe God created all the animals virtually instantaneously. Most texts say dinosaurs roamed the Earth during the Mesozoic Era about 65 million to 225 million years ago. Ham says man and animals date only to the generations named in the Bible, covering about 6,000 years.
Dinosaurs figure prominently in plans for the museum.
Ham has a warehouse full of models and is building more, including a 50-foot tyrannosaurus Rex. We're going to have the largest collection of life-sized dinosaur models in America. He also has 16 semitrailer loads of exhibits bought from a Baltimore museum. Dinosaurs are incredibly popular. Kids are fascinated by them.
