I’ve posted before (1, 2) about the $25 million Creation Museum set to open near Cincinnati, Ohio. Yesterday’s Cincinnati Enquirer has a long profile of founder Ken Ham. In the article, Jerry Falwell says that Ham is “the most informed creationist in America” and that the museum is “going to be a mini-Disney World.” From the Enquirer article, here are a few of Ham’s beliefs:

• Earth is about 6,000 years old, a figure arrived at by tracing the biblical genealogies, and not 4.5 billion years, as mainstream scientists say.
• The Grand Canyon was formed not by erosion over millions of years, but by floodwaters in a matter of days or weeks.
• Dinosaurs and man once co-existed (see above photo), and dozens of the creatures – including T-rex – were passengers on the ark built by Noah, who was a real man, not a myth.
