Canada's first permanent museum dedicated to creationism opens its
doors next Tuesday in rural Alberta.

The Big Valley Creation Science Museum, located in a village northeast
of Calgary, sets out to show that the earth was created by God in six
days about 6,000 years ago.

"Basically, we are pointing out that scientifically speaking, there is
a lot of good evidence putting to a supernatural creation," said Ian
Juby, a consultant to the museum.

The small museum, which cost $300,000 to build, is filled with
displays of fossils and model DNA strands meant to support a literal
interpretation of the Bible.

The Big Valley museum offers "a scientific and biblically based
alternative to the evolutionary view of earth history as presented by
the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller," according to its website.

The Royal Tyrrell Museum, a popular museum known for its collection of
dinosaur fossils, is only 60 km away.

Juby created displays for the Big Valley museum with the assistance of
the Creation Research Society, an organization committed to the idea
of scientific creation.

"We have no problem with the dinosaurs, but dinosaurs have been kind
of hijacked as some kind of evidence for evolution, even though it is
no evidence," Juby said.

"Most people don't realize that it appears that the Bible refers to
dinosaurs regularly. For instance, in the Bible it refers to dragons."
