Kentucky Visitors Bureau Removes Inflammatory Language Promoting Creation Museum
According to cincinnatti.com, the online site of The Enquirer newspaper, the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau has removed some highly inflammatory language from its website. Referring to the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, the language on the Visitors Bureau site said "This 'walk through history' museum will counter evolutionary natural history museums that turn countless minds against Christ and Scripture." The Kentucky Paleontological Society and others had protested this language, claiming it was inappropriate for a taxpayer-supported institution. It does not appear that the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau was deliberately trying to take a controversial stand. Instead, they had merely copied language from the Answers In Genesis website. The offending language has now been removed. The Visitors Bureau has not offered any public statement concerning the removal. Read the full newspaper article for more details.
