Traveling creationism museum makes a stop at Cape Christian School

Outside Cape Christian School on Tuesday, thunder, lightning and torrents of rain reminded many inside of the biblical flood. The students inside learned how that flood fit into the science of creationism.

A traveling creationism museum visited the school to share scientific facts behind creation.

For the last 13 years, Project CREATION executive director Sean Meek has traveled the country with exhibits on the days of creation, the flood, the ice age and dinosaurs showing scientific and historical information in support of the Genesis account of Creation.

"There is no conflict between the Bible and science, there is none at all," Meek said. "The conflict is between the evolutionists and the Bible."

Meek got the idea for the museum from the Creation Museum in San Diego, Calif., he said he knew everyone would not be able to travel to that museum so he created a traveling version. His current museum is the fourth version.

Amid giant blue posters decorated with colorful pictures of fish, horses, rainbows, DNA strands and butterflies Meek spoke to attentive students about the "imaginary, nonsense world of evolution."

"Evolutionists love to make up stories," Meek said, referencing the big-bang theory and the many books published on the theory.

He compares evolution to a building.

"Here's the evolutionist version of how this building got here, one day all the raw materials were mixing around and hit exactly right and the building went up all by itself," Meek said. "It would be easier for this building to have popped out of the ground all by itself than it would be for a living cell to become something else."

Meek says the goal of his presentation is to clear up misinformation, nonsense and deceptions that evolutionists tout, and give comfort to people who believe in the Genesis account by giving them facts.

"Creation is the foundation of the Bible, take out the foundation and the whole structure collapses," Meek said. "You cannot have the Bible be true unless you understand fully that the facts are there."

Principal Beverly Smart said the museum gives her students scientific facts to back up their beliefs.

Fifth-grader Joshua Sander said in the past he has debated evolution and creation with people and enjoyed the presentation because "it was very factual."

"In nature there is so much evidence of creation, this gives us reasons why not to believe in evolution and why to believe in creation," Joshua said.

Sarah Stroup, a fourth-grader, said she learned a lot of new things, such as a caterpillar turns into a gloopy, watery mess before it becomes a butterfly.

Meek also talks to church groups and Sunday schools. He has been to more than 1,000 schools and hundreds of churches.
