Arkansas Promotes Creationism

June 2005

An advertising supplement paid for by the state Department of Parks and Tourism in Arkansas includes a promotion of a new creationism museum.

"Located on the grounds of The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs, the Museum of Earth History presents the biblical account of early history with high-quality, scientific exhibits displayed in a totally biblical setting," the Parks brochure says.

"Viewers will journey through three epic periods of ancient history often overlooked by modern historians: life before the fall, the post-fall world and life after the devastating effects of the great flood described in the Book of Genesis."

Director Richard Davies defended inclusion of the creationism museum as a bonafide tourist attraction. The department has promoted the Passion Play for years.
