"PETERSBURG, Ky. — The entrance gates here are topped with metallic Stegosauruses. The grounds include a giant tyrannosaur standing amid the trees, and a stone-lined lobby sports varied sauropods. It could be like any other natural history museum, luring families with the promise of immense fossils and dinosaur adventures.
But step a little farther into the entrance hall, and you come upon a pastoral scene undreamt of by any natural history museum. Two prehistoric children play near a burbling waterfall, thoroughly at home in the natural world. Dinosaurs cavort nearby, their animatronic mechanisms turning them into alluring companions, their gaping mouths seeming not threatening, but almost welcoming, as an Apatosaurus munches on leaves a few yards away.

I've never had a problem reconciling Genesis with Science, and evolution. As a matter of fact, I see a wonderful symmetry in "Let there be light", and the Big Bang. It is possible to believe in a Creator and be scientific at the same time. It's too bad this organization spent so much money to provide what is essentially a strange amusement park because I think they missed an opportunity to show how religion and science can co-exist rather than being mutually exclusive. It's also dangerous as some people will actually believe that humans and dinosaurs existed together.
