Both the Creation Museum and Noah's Ark replica are spearheaded by Ken Ham. He is termed a Christian fundamentalist and a 'young earth creationist'. He believes in the literal interpretation of the Bible.

Some say that a 'day' in the Bible means 'some amount of time'; may be longer or shorter than what we call a 'day'. Because of some Bible original writings and many references to 'day' throughout the Bible, Ham believes a day is 24 hours just like today.

Which do I believe? Either is possible. Do I believe our God could make all of His creation in a that amount of time? I think He could have. Am I sure? No, but it doesn't make a difference to me. I agree that God created all of this and set it into motion.

According to the Bible, the first verse and first chapter of Genesis say "In the beginning God created....".

Among other things, on the first day, "God said let there be light. And said it was good."

The second day, God separated waters and made the sky. God saw that it was good.

Third day: God made the plants and trees and seeds. God saw it was good.

Fourth day:  Next came sun and moon. God saw that it was good.

Fifth day: Next came the animals. And God saw that it was good.

Sixth day before God rested on day seven:  God said, "Let us make man in our image...to rule over all the earth." But this time God said, "It was very good."

Did you catch that? According to God, His creation was good. But we, created in His image, was very good!

So one time today, look in your mirror and say, "Hmmm, God says I am very good!"
