Allie Martin OneNewsNow.comMay 29, 2007 The president of Answers in Genesis says he’s not surprised that protesters turned out for the opening of the Creation Museum. But Ken Ham finds it ironic that one group claiming to be defending constitutional freedom wants to silence the creation story.

Thousands of people visited the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky for its opening weekend. While overflow crowds toured the apologetics museum, a handful of protesters stood outside the gates. At one point, a group called DEFCON (”DEFend the CONstitution”) flew a plane overhead, quoting the Ninth Commandment: “Thou shalt not lie.”

Ham found DEFCON’s protest ironic. “There’s an atheist group, a humanist group and a group called DEFCON, which supposedly are a group to defend the Constitution,” Ham noted. “But all they’re doing is defending their liberal agenda.”

Why would atheists be concerned about the 9th amendment?

The Creation Museum has its own uniformed security team, to keep protesters at bay.

“Here they are protesting the opening of a creation museum. In fact, they’re saying things like we shouldn’t be allowed to present the science we’re presenting. They’re scared of us,” Ham charged. “[Do you] know why they’re scared? Because for the first time we’ve built a major facility where we’re using real observational science to confirm the Bible’s history.

“They don’t like that at all,” Ham concluded. “They don’t want people to hear this information.”
