Today we continue our 9,150-mile virtual tour across the US and Canada, visiting creation museums in North America while passing through 26 states and 3 provinces. We’ve completed 5,450 miles of the tour so far with 3,700 yet to go.
Continue the tour from Santee, CA by driving about 1,750 miles north to Big Valley, Alberta in Canada. The tenth and final stop on the Creation Museum Tour (aka Coyote Mystery Tour) is the Big Valley Creation Science Museum in Alberta.

The Big Valley Creation Science Museum was Canada’s first permanent creation museum. It features world-class fossils and explains fossils and the geological column in terms of Noah’s Flood.
Many dinosaur fossils are displayed along with evidence that dinosaurs lived recently and co-existed with man. The evidence contradicts the evolutionary dogma that dinosaurs died out millions of years before man “evolved”. Dinosaur trails outside the museum lead children on a tour of dinosaur fossils.
Highlights of the museum include a fossilized human foot in a boot, an iron pot in a lump of coal that’s purportedly 312 million years old (according to evolutionists), and a giant model of Noah’s Ark. A huge DNA model illustrates compelling evidence for design by a Creator and refutes evolutionism’s claims of naturalistic, random evolution.
An “Age of the Earth” display covers dating methods, fast fossil formation, rapid cave formation, and displays of “out-of-place” artifacts.
Lambeth Palace is the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury in London, England. A genealogical display of scrolls from Lambeth Palace traces the genealogy of King Henry VI (1421-1471, King of England and France) all the way back to Adam and Eve. The displayed scrolls are photographic reproductions of two 52-foot parchment scrolls, MS 1170 and MS 1171, from the Lambeth Palace Library.
Dr. Bill Cooper, a renowned authority on ancient genealogies, said this about the genealogical tables on the two Lambeth scrolls:
“These tables show the descent of Britain’s medieval kings from Adam through Noah and Japheth. They were compiled in the 15th century from much earlier sources, and display a remarkably accurate and detailed knowledge of early history and chronology. Most of the names listed here can be checked against surviving records and show the compiler of these tables to be surprisingly well-informed in other (non-British) ancient sources. Of particular interest are the unexpectedly detailed list of Anglo-Saxon patriarchs in MS 1170, the tables of the Medean kings, and the knowledge of Egyptian dynasties. Whoever compiled the tables was a remarkable scholar.”
For Christ and His Kingdom. Soli Deo Gloria.

We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
