Creation Evidence Museum, Creation science museum in Glen Rose, United States
The Creation Evidence Museum is a museum in Glen Rose, Texas, founded in 1984 by Carl Baugh. Its building has walls of light-colored, rough-cut stone blocks, a large arched window of dark rectangular panes divided by a vertical stone strip, and a projecting entrance with a reddish-brown wooden gabled canopy. Inside, exhibits include the London Hammer, the Burdick Track, and a 12-foot statue of Tom Landry on the second-floor balcony.
Carl Baugh founded the museum in 1984 after several years of field research along the Paluxy River, where he documented tracks in limestone he interpreted as simultaneous human and dinosaur presence. The facility evolved from a small field camp into a permanent building with exhibition rooms and research areas.
The facility's name reflects its focus on physical evidence supporting a young Earth view, while exhibition halls guide visitors through geological layers interpreted from a creationist standpoint. On lecture evenings, people from the surrounding area gather to hear discussions about biblical timelines and fossil discoveries.
The museum opens Wednesday through Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with admission for adults and children five years and older set at 10 dollars. Visitors should plan about one to two hours for walking through the exhibition rooms and viewing the displays.
The museum's hyperbaric biosphere is a chamber meant to reproduce the atmospheric conditions its founders attribute to the pre-Flood world. Carl Baugh has said tests there tripled the lifespan of fruit flies and detoxified copperhead snakes; a much larger version is under construction in the new building.
