British creationism museum with pics

PS I'm quite relaxed about the creation museum - obviously nobody visits it. The clue is right there in post #8: "everything worked". So they've obviously never had a single school party through their door. QED

I suspect they get as many sceptics visiting as believers. There are just not that many creationists in the UK, and it is a very small museum (I'm pretty sure I've walked past it without noticing).
 
When cycling through that area a few weeks ago, I noticed 'Diggerland' ahead on the map, and said to myself something like "Haha, what's that? A theme park devoted to mechanical diggers? Hahaha. No, seriously, I wonder what that is."

Then, when I went right past the place, that was precisely what it was.
I live about 3-4 miles from one. Never been.
 
Are you sure that's the Portsmouth Creation Museum? It sure looks like Ken Ham's folly in Kentucky.

Ken bleedin' Ham, that reject from the Bible Belt of Australia, Queensland. I'll bet he had a hand in it.
 
I tend to speculate further that the museum itself is just a form of advertising to get people into the shop. That way, in this free museum, whether you are a believer, curious, or science-based visitor, you pay them something, if for nothing else, the memory.

I think you are right.
 
Very Interesting! In an extremely sad sort of way...

But thanks so much for posting

I live up in Canada, and will be heading out to a Creation museum in Alberta. After that i plan to go and make my yearly trip to the Royal Trell Dinosaur meseum...

Kind of ironic, dont you think
 
Still closed. Whats the odds it will never reopen?
 
Genesis Expo has reopened. Not a lot has changed - there's an extra floor with some fossils, a few signs and some leaflets for sale. Same high quality arguments for creationism.

Weird. The first I'd heard of this place was today at lunch when a friend mentioned it. He lived in Portsmouth for a few years and was disappointed the expo was shut (he wanted the laughs).

This remarkable coincidence must prove something :)
