A&O Meetup: The Creation Museum is Dino-mighty
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest Disney-Britton
I left the Creation Museum, the featured event for the August AOA Meetup in Kentucky completely knocked over by the wonder and beauty of life seen through the lens of the Garden of Eden. It's a 60,000 square foot forced-walk experience from Creation to Crucifixion, and it's done in spectacular fashion including dinosaurs in Eden, Pharaoh's temple, and Noah's Ark. The scripting, the graphics, exhibits, videos and animatronics all make a compelling case for their story and builds genuine excitement about what's around the next corner. While there is no Fine Art, nor I suspect actual fossils inside, skeptics will be delighted by the "wow" factor, and believers will want to come back again and again, for more.

I assume therefore that Schaeffer's brand of religious art which condemned the artists of the Italian Renaissance would not be an advocate for religious freedom in art. Two of his most well known supporters today at congresswoman Michelle Bachman and Nancy Pearcey. Read more http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/15/110815fa_fact_lizza#ixzz1Vmm02IHS.
Following the August 7 AOA Meetup to the Creation Museum, our founder and Creation Museum fan, Ernest Britton noted the absence of religious art in the museum (and questioned whether there were real dinosaur fossils on view) and invited comment from the musuem via twitter: @CreationMuseum. His statement about actual fossils was corrected (see above) but curiously there was no mention about the absence of religious art.
