"The centrepiece of the museum is a series of huge model dinosaurs, built by the former head of design at Universal Studios, which are portrayed as existing alongside man, contrary to received scientific opinion that they lived millions of years apart."
"Mr Ham is particularly proud of a planned reconstruction of the interior of Noah's Ark. 'You will hear the water lapping, feel the Ark rocking and perhaps even hear people outside screaming,' he said. More controversial exhibits deal with diseases and famine, which are portrayed not as random disasters, but as the result of mankind's sin."
"Elsewhere, animated figures will be used to recreate the Garden of Eden, while in another room, visitors will see a tyrannosaurus rex pursuing Adam and Eve after their fall from grace. "That's the real terror that Adam's sin unleashed," visitors will be warned."
However, I would like to commend the article's author, who seems to well avoid breaking impartiality by, for instance, describing what received scientific knowledge says, and what Ham interprets the bible as saying, without saying either is true.

Or something.
