The Museum of Earth History is a controversial[1] museum which intertwines fundamentalist Christian theology with science. It features replicas of dinosaur skeletons in exhibits which focus on tying the existence and extinction of dinosaur to events from the book of Genesis through biblical scripture. Located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, an area known for it's Christan attractions, the museum is often part of ticket packages and tours arranged by the The Great Passion Play.
Exhibits explain that extinction of dinosaurs was caused by the Great Flood rather than a comet. Noah carried dinosaurs aboard his ark. A Tyrannosaurus alongside Adam and Eve are described as living in peace with each other therefore Tyrannosaurus was a herbivore rather than a carnivore.[2]
