Location "chosen?"
::Well, I ''don't'' think "illustrate" means "prove." But I'm keeping my promise and will not edit that sentence again. Let me check: "Illustrate 1a. To clarify, as by use of examples or comparisons: The editor illustrated the definition with an example sentence. b. To clarify by serving as an example or comparison: The example sentence illustrated the meaning of the word. 2. To provide (a publication) with explanatory or decorative features: illustrated the book with colorful drawings." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 13:44, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

== Location "chosen?" ==
The article says:
:a location chosen due to having almost two thirds of the United States population within a 650-mile distance
However, the [http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070520/ts_alt_afp/uspoliticsreligion_070520222942 cited reference] says no such thing. It does indeed say that "nearly two thirds of the population of the United States lives within a 650-mile (1,050-kilometer) drive of the Creation Museum" but does not even hint that that was a reason why that location was chosen.
I think it is far more likely that it was chosen for its proximity to the headquarters of Answers in Genesis, at 2800 Bullittsburg Church Rd., Petersburg, KY 41080.
Not sure how to tweak the wording... this factoid does not seem to me to be lead-paragraph stuff. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:59, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
