Time Tunnel - God's Handiwork
Upon exiting the previous exhibit, Culture in Crisis, you enter the Time Tunnel:
a pitch black tunnel with tiny white lights meant to
represent distant stars scattered over the surface reminiscent of a
giant Lite-Brite. As the name implies the tunnel brings you all the way
back to the beginning of time.

Six Days of Creation
Six Days of Creation is a short film with stunning visuals, but it's the dramatic reading of the
Biblical account of the first six days of creation that leaves a lasting impression. The narrator booms out the
word of God creating the effect that they are being spoken by almighty
God Himself. The film is rather short and unsurprising as God’s word is
presented just as it appears in the Bible. Like the other movies
throughout the museum you are greeted by a friendly museum attendant
who is more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Wonder of Creation - Truth in Complexity
Next up is the Wonders of Creation exhibit. This exhibit brings you
back to the sophisticated art gallery feel that was prevalent in early
exhibits. Flat panel displays dominate the room, each showing a
different vignette dedicated to the exaltation of God's work as the
Creator. The common thread traversing through each vignette is the
divine order of God's design, and the complex symphony of the universe,
and the futile toiling of secular science.
In this exhibit the complexity of the universe is taken for
granted and given as proof for the existence of a divine Creator. The
idea that secular science should persevere in its quest for
understanding is unthinkable to those who believe in the impossibility
of humans to decipher the work of an all-powerful God. The vignettes
vindicate the faithful in surrendering their position to one of awe,
standing mouth agape ogling the wonders of Creation. Such a humble
position doesn't leave room for questions or doubt. Science is reduced
to a toy wielded by misguided children whose work is seen as a
monstrous gaffe.
