}}Northwest Science Museum is a creationist museum in Idaho. It opened on June 14, 2014.[[3] The museum's directors plan to create a 350,000 square foot facility including a full-scale model of Noah's Ark near Boise, Idaho, replacing the museum's current "Vision Center" near the state capitol in Boise.[4] The museum's founders say that their collection of Ica stones offer proof that humans and dinosaurs coexisted,[5] that out-of-place artifacts constitute "damaging evidences [sic] against evolution",[1] and they can show with other evidence the Earth is 6,000 years old and it was physically possible for Noah to bring dinosaurs on board the Ark.[3][8]]Inspiration Fundraising documents published by the founders cite the Creation Museum in Kentucky as establishing the viability of a similar concern in Idaho.[9] CollectionThe museum's collection includes petrified wood, fossil dinosaur eggs, the Ica stones mentioned above and a replica of the "Lone Star" mastodon skull.[10] They present the fossils as having been formed about 4,500 years ago in the Biblical Flood.[10] CriticismAlmost three years before the museum opened, Hemant Mehta said "this place is going to be ripe for mockery...misnamed twice over — it's not science and it's hardly a museum".[12] The Raw Story called Northwest Science Museum's Ica stones "fraudulent" and "a favorite artifact of many conspiracy theorists".[13] London's The Independent newspaper filed the museum's opening under "weird news".[ A Salon.com editorial called it a "beyond frustrating [n]ot just because of the pseudo-science dribbling out, but the fact that young children are being fed nonsense under the guise of 'true science'"[8] Salon also found "much to take issue with — right down to the organization’s misleading use of the terms 'science' and 'museum.'"[8]] References1. ^{{citation|title=Exhibits|publisher=Northwest Science Museum|url=http://www.northwestsciencemuseum.com/about/exhibits/|accessdate=2015-03-30}}
