Solomon’s Temple was destroyed in 587 BCE by Nebuchadnezzar II, and the Second Temple was razed in 70 CE by the Romans. Now, the Creation Museum of Petersburg, Kentucky is weighing a plan to rebuild the Temple after it finishes construction of Noah’s Ark and the Tower of Babel (with taxpayer funding). The Creation Museum is run by the anti-evolution group Answers in Genesis, whose leader Ken Ham recently found himself fighting with other creationists after he fiercely criticized a fellow creationist speaker. Mark Looy, the cofounder of Answers in Genesis, told a giddy Matt Friedeman of American Family Radio that the Creation Museum is considering plans to reproduce the Temple. “We’ve been thinking about that,” Looy said, “but it’s not going to be some kind of secular temple where all sorts of weird religious ceremonies are held.”
