If you aren't openminded about how the world came into being, then skip this because it'll be a waste of your time and you'll just want to call people names. If you're open to hearing a different view than the one taught in government schools or if you believe the Christian Bible to be true than you'll glean much from this museum. I scheduled a tour for two teenage sons and myself for a Wednesday morning during spring break. Paying for the tour was only a little more expensive than purchasing admission for the 3 of us. If you have a larger group you'll save money doing the tour. I highly recommend the tour; it lasts about 2 hours. The guide was well informed, interesting and open to questions. The exhibits are well done and full of in-depth information. The tour does not take you through the anatomy section or the tabernacle section so budget additional time for those if you're interested.The gift shop/book store has many resources to purchase(research books, picture books, dvds etc.) if this is a subject matter that you're interested in delving into.
This museum is a fascinating place to see, read and hear from those who believe "real science" and The Holy Bible are compatible. The people who operate this museum are interested in making sure that all visitors receive courteous service and an enjoyable experience. My wife and I love going to see new exhibits that frequently are added to the already impressive offerings. This is the best museum of its kind in the West. You will need to allow at least 2 hours to simply view the exhibits in all rooms but the nicest feature is that in every room there are brief pamphlets that you may take for further reading on a host of subjects. It is unforgettable!
This place is a hoot! If you want true science,please stay away from this idiocy.What Christianity believes if fairy tales.
The biggest load of fantasy and mis-information I have ever seen. Great place to have a good laugh at what some people will accept as "science" though.
The science is researched and documented. The art in the exhibits is amazing. The complete visit will challenge your thinking and confirm your faith!
I am 20 years old, a student at The University of Arizona. I visited this "museum" with my family who lives in San Diego. We took with us 7 children and there were 3 total adults. The kids and adults both enjoyed this exhibit. We all learned a lot about what Christian's believe and how it can be related to science and all the different religions out there. Definitely had a great time. The exhibit is very children and parent friendly, clean, pretty, and easy to find. They offer some souvenirs to take with you, including home school books for kids.
This is a great place for those looking to see what pro-creationism scientists have to say about everything from carbon dating to plate tectonics and astronomy.
Be sure to allow an extra hour for their new human body wing, Lots of well explained human biological processes and colorful interesting models. We usually visit this museum once or twice a year to see the the Biblical model of creation, Noah's ark and flood geology, Tower of Bable, the origin of "races" and Bible history. A GREAT place to bring family and friends, whether visiting from out of town, or, have never seen Creation or Bible history "visualized". It's FREE and you may prearrange a guided tour through the museum. TIP: Visit Santee Swap Meet early, then visit the museum!
5 Stars for my beliefs and views. Great place to discard some if not all of your old beliefs and see what is the truth. A must visit for all believers. Entry is free and their is a descriptive show about 45 minutes long. http://www.lifeandlightfoundation.org/museum.html gives address - times etc. Various rooms with very interesting information
Very well put together, and I love that there are dozens of pamphlets you can take with you to study later. There is a lot of content and it's hard to absorb it all right away, as you walk through the many, many exhibits. The owner's and maintainer's passion for the subject shows. Though I am a science guy, raised with the traditional explanations for Earth's history that we get in school, I found it refreshing to read about and see other interpretations and explanations for things that we have taken as fact for our whole lives. It is indeed a good reminder that many of our "facts" are merely theories. Their website makes it look like maybe a handful of rooms to walk through, but there is much more. We saw maybe a third of it in about 30 minutes..
