Is Genesis Still Relevant?

The Creation Museum’s Relevance of Genesis exhibit provides a sharp contrast to the Biblical Authority room behind it. This space, themed as a modern reclaimed warehouse, is open and brightly lit with less to read.

It would be easy to pass quickly through it on your way to the next exhibit . . . unless you look a little closer.

The theming of this room isn’t merely a stylistic choice. Rather, it’s a metaphor of the church. Because this “warehouse” had a strong foundation, it was able to be restored and was worth restoring, despite years of neglect.

In a similar way, much of the modern church has neglected or outright rejected the foundational book of the Bible, Genesis, and has suffered consequences as a result. However, all is not lost. The solid foundation of God’s Word—all of it, including Genesis—remains.

The notes and artistry of the unseen character who restored the warehouse tell the story of someone who grappled with the truth and realized that an accurate understanding of God’s character and of the gospel itself hinges on the foundational truths clearly stated in the first chapters of Genesis.

Next time you walk through this exhibit, soak in the subtle details of its theming and murals and the truths behind them. Start planning your visit to the Creation Museum today and see how Genesis is still relevant to our world today.
