Museum of Earth History Location Eureka Springs, Arkansas Type natural history museum from Christian perspective Director G. Thomas Sharp Website http://www.moeh.org/ The Museum of Earth History is a controversial[1] young Earth creationist museum based on fundamentalist Christian theology. It features replicas of dinosaur skeletons in exhibits and the Book of Genesis biblical scripture. Located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, an area known for its Christan attractions.
Exhibits explain that extinction of dinosaurs was caused by the Great Flood rather than a comet. Noah carried dinosaurs aboard his ark. A Tyrannosaurus alongside Adam and Eve are described as living in peace with each other therefore Tyrannosaurus was a herbivore rather than a carnivore.[2]
