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. So are parents. Over and over again in the secular world they are equated with millions of years, they are equated with evolution. Ham contends that the word dinosaur doesn't appear in the Bible only because the word is of relatively modern origin. He cites the behemoth in Job 40.
