In pictures: Inside Ohio's creationism museum
Just off Interstate 275, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, you’ll find a sophisticated museum that transports you back 6,000 years, to when T. Rex and others roamed the planet along with humans. That’s the timeline followed by the Creation Museum, a four-year-old facility that adheres to the belief that everything written in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, is literally true.
