Yes, because the Bible has never had an impact on the arc of humanity.
I get it. It's easy and fun to dunk on certain sects of Christians for their demonstrably false beliefs. However, this isn't the Creation Museum. While I haven't been to The Museum of the Bible or The Creation Museum, I have found absolutely nothing that supports that The Museum of the Bible pushes creationism (https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/17/16658504/bible-museum-hobby-lobby-green-controversy-antiquities https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/17/16658504/bible-mus...). This museum's focus is on the history of the Bible, widely known as the most printed book of all time. The Bible upon whose basis 100s of millions or even billions of people order their systems of moral belief. To suggest that there can be no real scholarship about the Bible is to shove your head in the sand and pretend Christianity has had no impact on society.
- roywiggins 7y agoYes, but one project of the Bible Museum is an explicitly religious one: to prove that the wording of the Bible has stayed constant, as evidence that its preservation has been inspired by God, and the text of the Bible should be therefore taken as inerrant. https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/17/16658504/bible-museum-hobby-lobby-green-controversy-antiquities https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/17/16658504/bible-mus...
