USA Today:

PETERSBURG, Ky. -- If the dream of a New Jersey group comes to life, another creationist attraction will locate in Northern Kentucky.

Founders of the Creation Science Hall of Fame, which now exists only as a website, would like to build a brick-and mortar structure along Interstate 75. The group will consider vacant land and the renovation of an existing site.

"When we have the funds, we would like to locate on the highway about halfway between the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter," said Terry Hurlbut, secretary-treasurer of the group. "What better place to locate than between these two attractions? We envision that, as people fly or drive in to see them, we will be a stop along the way."

Hurlbut emphasized that the Creation Science Hall of Fame is not affiliated with the Creation Museum that opened in 2007 in Petersburg, Ky., along the Ohio River about 20 miles southwest of Cincinnati. The 70,000-square-foot museum includes displays featuring Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and dinosaurs, which its founders believe co-existed.

When I flew to Cincinnati four years ago to work on the Obama campaign, the Creation Museum showed up on the "Places of Interest" listing on my Boarding Pass...

3. Or the giant ball of string.

I wonder who will be honored in this "hall of fame". Oh right. God....I think that God is the only one who was involved in the Creation, right?
