From a radio interview with Ken Ham, founder of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky:
This idea (for the museum) came about from when I was a teacher in public schools in Australia actually, teaching in the science classes and students saying, "Sir, you're a Christian, how can you believe the Bible when we know that's not true because of evolution and what's in our textbooks?" And then when I took them to museums and saw that they were presented evolution as fact, I thought why can't we have a creation museum? And so I had this embryonic idea 25 years ago in Australia. But of course, Australia's not really the place to build such a facility if you're going to reach the world. Really, America is.
