Red is not just in politics
The Creation Museum is in the red? Financially? From Answers in Genesis:
As the year draws to a close, I’m asking you to pray diligently about how large a gift you can give to support AiG’s year-end ministry and start 2008 strong.
We need to raise $400,000 by December 31 to finish the year on-budget—armed to stand as effective witnesses for Christ against Satan’s attacks while 2007 closes and a new year begins. I have no doubt we can reach that goal, if every person who truly wants to see the world acknowledge the truth of God’s Word will reach out with one final, generous gift in these last few weeks of 2007.
Pray to find how God wants to use you in this situation…
I fear that God wants to use me to laugh uproariously.
Mad Magazine apparently finds the museum risible, too. They’ve listed it as #14 in the 20 dumbest people, events, and things of 2007

But not, y’know, actually give anything.
“We need to raise $400,000 by December 31 to finish the year on-budget—”
Oh.
“—armed to stand as effective witnesses for Christ against Satan’s attacks while 2007 closes and a new year begins.”
C’mon, papa needs a new sword of wounding!
“I have no doubt we can reach that goal, if every person who truly wants to see the world acknowledge the truth of God’s Word will reach out with one final, generous gift in these last few weeks of 2007.”
Gimme, gimme, gimme! Money, money, money! Of course, all fundraisers sound like this. The fundraisers I ran at Centre actually gave to the community, however.
“Pray to find how God wants to use you in this situation…”
Or you could just decide on a course of action, a donation amount that won’t break your budget. But why would we encourage you to do that when we can guilt you into giving more than you can afford?
Love,

You’re being a lot nicer about it than I ever have. I think that being laughed at is the least of what they deserve. And it serves them right for building their noxious “museum” anywhere near Big Bone Lick, which is a place that ought to show people how wrong AiG is. Not that their devoted fans could ever see it.

Aha! The museums that are fit will survive, and the unfit will perish without progeny.
