Is Nature History?

The first field trip of the year sent us to our local Natural History Museum. In we walked, ready to view the same ol' same old stuff we see every year. Not so! Much to our surprise the museum has changed some of their rooms, added new exhibits, and given the toured an opportunity to touch and play with some of history. The students loved it. The Parents loved it too.
Beginning with the new dinosaur rooms, we explored those that are long gone. We were still inundated with the MILLIONS of YEARS theory.. They have put lots of effort into promoting the ideas - even coming up with some new whoppers that they unknowingly contradicted  within the same exhibits - It made me wonder if they had one person read everything or just trust that everyone must write and believe the same thing, therefore it will all be correct.
I found the most fascinating display was of the dinosaur fossil found in Kansas of a Plesiosaur type animal that died while still carrying the unborn fetus. How did it and the other water dwelling fossilized animals get in Kansas you ask? Well their idea is that there must have been an ocean that ran through the middle of North America ages ago.  Hmmmmm. I have another theory....
Despite the lack of clear logic in some of their arguments we all enjoyed the lovely exhibits displaying the variety and creativity of God's creation. Does Nature tell a history? Yes, if you know where to look.

 "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth,

who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

 the moon and the stars, which You have ordained;"

 Psalm 8:1, 3
