Massive museum based on ministry

Massive museum based on ministry A "ministry" that spends millions to show Adam and Eve with dinosaurs? Sure, says Ken Ham, founder of the Creation Museum, a multi-million dollar extravaganza in Boone County, KY. Apparently, the editors of the Cincinnati Enquirer agreed enough to write the headline without batting an eyelash.

But here's what gets me. They did a sidebar story on 'what people are saying' about the creation museum, and all the pro/con comments centered on the questions of science, not ministry.

In other words, What does this so-called 'ministry' have to do with healing the sick, bringing good news to the poor, release to the captives, or even 'making disciples'?
