Dinosaur billboards go up to spread word about Kentucky's Creation Museum

Our take: The Creation Museum, in Petersburg, Ky., has launched a new campaign with comic-style dinosaur billboards that have been placed in cities around the U.S. to help spread word about the museum, which is staunchly creation-based. Taking a page out of the evolutionists' book, the Creation Museum uses dinosaurs as a basis for research, except their goal is to prove that the Bible's account of creation is true, based on scientific fact.

The Creation Museum of Kentucky has launched a nationwide billboard campaign featuring dinosaurs and other prehistoric lizards.

The Petersburg, Ky.-based museum set up several billboards featuring comic-book-style cartoons of various dinosaurs last week in cities like Chicago, Houston, and San Francisco.

Mark Looy, co-founder and chief communications officer for Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, told The Christian Post that the Museum annually conducts ad campaigns.

"This year we decided on using billboards, partly because our regional billboard campaign to promote the Creation Museum was so effective a few years ago," said Looy. "It was so successful that a tourism association in Kentucky, KTIA, gave our museum billboards its top advertising award in 2009, out of 200 entries."
