The Creation Museum has a new exhibit that aims to debunk the evolutionary theory that an “ape-man” or apelike creature existed.

A year in the making, the “Ape Man” exhibit was dedicated this week and joins some 160 other exhibits that illustrate a literal interpretation of the Bible.

“There are and always have been – since the sixth day of creation recorded in Genesis – apes and humans. But there never have been any ‘ape-men’ as part of an evolutionary process,” said Ken Ham, founder of the Petersburg, Ky., museum, in a statement Thursday.

The Creation Museum provides visitors with both sides of the evolution debate while teaching them “how to correctly think about science,” Ham told The Christian Post when the museum first opened in 2007. Visitors learn of what Ham considers the bankruptcy of evolutionary ideas and are taught how to answer attacks on the Bible’s authority in geology, biology, anthropology, and cosmology.

The newest addition features Dr. David Menton, who formerly taught anatomy and histology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, describing to visitors from a video monitor the differences between apes and humans.
