This theme park is based on fundamental Christian beliefs,
including creationism, the theory that God created the universe in six days and
that it is only about 6,000 years old.
This means that it directly contradicts the Theory of Evolution and is
an example of Bible literalism, the belief that the Bible is literally true and
Evolution is wrong.
It is important to remember that many Christians are not
bible literalists, they can accept Evolution/Big Bang and still believe in the
Bible symbolically, i.e. that God created the universe but not literally in 6
days, instead God is the 'first cause' or 'designer' of the universe and God is
actually responsible for Evolution/Big Bang.
And if you think this is an exclusively American phenomenon, why not pop down to Portsmouth to check out the UK's very own Creationist Museum!
