Canada's first permanent museum dedicated to creationism opens its doors next Tuesday in rural Alberta.

The Big Valley Creation Science Museum, located in a village northeast of Calgary, sets out to show that the earth was created by God in six days about 6,000 years ago.

"Basically, we are pointing out that scientifically speaking, there is a lot of good evidence putting to a supernatural creation," said Ian Juby, a consultant to the museum.

The small museum, which cost $300,000 to build, is filled with displays of fossils and model DNA strands meant to support a literal interpretation of the Bible.

The Big Valley museum offers "a scientific and biblically based alternative to the evolutionary view of earth history as presented by the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller," according to its website.

The Royal Tyrrell Museum, a popular museum known for its collection of dinosaur fossils, is only 60 km away.
