==Controversy==

There has been much controversy since the Kentucky-based Creation Museum was announced. Lawrence Krauss (a [[physicist]] and [[astronomer]]<ref>[http://www.phys.cwru.edu/faculty/index.php?krauss Lawrence Krauss, Faculty Page]</ref>) stated that the museum is both a "fraud" and "hypocritical" because it "repeatedly misrepresents the process and results of [[science]] and distorts the scientific record. Yet in every case it takes advantage of the technical wizardry of science to get its point across, with a series of dazzling [[animatronic]] displays and explanations"<ref>Kraus, L, 2007 quoted in "Museum of Misinformation", New Scientist, May 26th 2007, p24</ref>

There has been much controversy since the Kentucky-based Creation Museum was announced, and it has been widely criticized by those who oppose the literal-historical view of Genesis, because it differs with the Theory of Evolution.

Greg Neyman, of [[Answers In Creation]], expressed concern about non-[[Christian]] museum visitors.  "They will see the museum, and recognize its faulty science, and will be turned away from the church.  This will increase the already widening gap between the unchurched and the churched. ... [[Atheist]]ic people and organizations are increasingly attacking the [[church]], because they perceive that the findings of modern science cannot be reconciled with the [[Bible]]."<ref>[http://www.answersincreation.org/rebuttal/aig/daily/2007/20070330_creation_museum.htm Answers in Creation - Creation Museum Media Mania, March 30, 2007]</ref>
