When you visit this museum, be sure to go armed with this booklet. It highlights interesting details and fascinating insights concerning the displays in the museum. All commentary in the booklet is from a creation-based perspective. This guide comes complete with a map of the major exhibits in the museum.

This handy booklet highlights fascinating insights to the displays in the museum. Dinosaurs and
marine reptiles are on display as expected, but there is also a large section which provides
arguments for evolution. This guide provides answers to the arguments and fascinating details
concerning the dinosaurs and other fossils. This guide comes complete with a map of the major
exhibits in the museum.

Shipping cost for one copy is only $2.

Enclosed with this guide is a list of topics you can search on HeadStart our online resource that provides more detailed discussion of some related and important issues such as origin of life arguments, and evolution related topics like the geological column, rock record, fossils (what are they?), Cambrian explosion, extinct Alberta creatures (mostly marine reptiles) and dinosaurs (a separate topic).

Naturally one can only absorb limited amounts of information as one proceeds through the museum. However, the guide also serves as a briefing source of further insights once one has left Drumheller.

In recent years, Christians have become more alarmed over climate change. Both secular and Christian voices have urged them to heed the “all-but-unanimous scientific consensus” on the issue. But is that consensus based on solid science?

In the early 19^th century, if one were looking for a future great scientist, Michael Faraday would not strike one as promising. His family was poor and his education limited. But young Michael Faraday had a deep faith and curiosity about the world that God has made. As a result his employers provided this lad with extra opportunities and information. Michael dreamed of and tried experiments involving physical properties. As a result, we have electricity and related inventions. Children 8 – 12 years will love this inspiring story.

This is a personal account of Dr. Brian Thomas’ spiritual and intellectual journey from non-believing science student to Christian conversion, to his intellectual struggle with Genesis, to his later career as a research scientist and communicator of the gospel and wonders of God’s creation. This account takes us to discussions of a wide variety of scientific fields, some less familiar to us than others. It totally broadens our horizons in a non-confrontational way.

Fossil Tissues: Digging into the Biomaterial Mystery

In the Creation Collection Series

During the past two decades, many people who follow scientific news, have been fascinated by accounts of fossils which contain non-fossilized organic material. These remains consist of original biochemical compounds or parts thereof from fossilized specimens of extinct creatures. The first report involved the accidental discovery of soft tissues inside a T. rex bone. Although the scientist who made the discovery was herself a mainstream scientist, there were many critiques of this work since the idea that organic molecules like proteins could resist decay for millions of years, did not seem possible. It still doesn’t.

Brian Thomas of Institute for Creation Research, whose Ph.D. research involved similar research, in this booklet documents the subsequent cascade of discoveries of many fossilized animals and even some plants that still contain undecomposed material.

Dr. Thomas describes explanations used by mainstream scientists to try to explain these highly unexpected results. Over several chapters Dr. Thomas demonstrates that only a short time interval can explain the persistence of these proteins, collagen and other compounds. The remains of DNA is especially surprising since it is such a fragile compound.

If ever there was a stimulating and fun account of the results of research on an origins topic, this is it!   (Dr. Thomas discussed this topic at Creation Weekend 2025 but this book was not out yet.)
