"CINCINNATI – Leaders of the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky unveiled a new dinosaur exhibit last week which they say ‘will challenge evolutionary theory.’
Since 2007, the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum has displayed exhibits which affirm and illustrate the history of the world from a biblical perspective.
Creation Museum leadership announced the grand opening of a brand new dinosaur exhibit featuring a well-preserved allosaur skeleton. The exhibit, titled “Facing the Allosaurus,” features one of the best-preserved Allosaurus fragilis skulls ever discovered, according to the release.
“Allosaurs, sometimes confused with a T. rex, were large theropod dinosaurs,” the press release explains. “This allosaur, named Ebenezer, is exceptional not only for its almost-complete, three-foot-long skull (including 53 teeth) but because its bones, rather than mixed and scattered, were found together (with many in their articulated position). The creature probably weighed 2.3 tons.”
Ebenezer was donated to the Creation Museum by Michael and Stephen Peroutka of the Peroutka Foundation, who said the exhibit showcases God’s power in creation.
Ham said dinosaurs play an important role in the evolution versus creation debate.
“Evolutionists use dinosaurs to reach children more than anything to promote their worldview,” he said. “Our museum uses dinosaurs to help tell their true history according to the Bible.”
Dr. Andrew Snelling, a geologist for Answers in Genesis, shared the history of the historic dinosaur skeleton. He said Ebenezer was discovered in northwestern Colorado, and the skeleton is different from other allosaur skeletons.

After the unveiling of the Ebenezer exhibit, many evolutionists bashed the Creation Museum via online comment threads, alleging that the biblical creation model is not a valid scientific argument.
“The Bible should come with a disclaimer saying that it is a work of fiction and not a history book,” another commenter proposed. “This [Ebenezer exhibit] is absolutely ridiculous.”
Nevertheless, many Christian scientists maintain that the biblical account of world history is accurate and correctly makes sense of many scientific discoveries. For example, as previously reported, Canadian scientists last year discovered well-preserved dinosaur skin which purportedly could not survive millions of years, as evolutionists claim."
