Ready to give an answer


Yesterday, I took William and Jared to the Creation Discovery Museum in Ft. Lauderdale. Jacquelyn was not able to come with us because she was doing the Math FCAT . We were given the VIP treatment. They opened the museum exclusively for us and we had an hour tour with a guide. Her name was Dawn and she was very patient with the children, answering all their questions.

They learned about Genesis 7:11, when the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened; in other words; "The Flood". They also learned about "the behemoth" in Job 40:15; a huge dinosaur that was alive after the flood and was a grass eater.

We were able to discuss the six 24 hour period of the creation of the heavens and the earth from Genesis chapter 1, the ice age, fossils, and how there is enough evidence to support what the bible teaches about creation. Not that we need evidence to believe the Word of God but the evidence comes handy when we're faced with questions doubting His amazing work. Like the scriptures says in I Peter 3:15 ~ And be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.
