Beginning of Time- Science and Religion

I've been super busy these past few days; new house shopping, my boyfriend was sick, and working a lot.  Therefore, I have been slacking on posts and on the 30 Day Challenge.  But, I wanted to post the pictures that I took at the Origins Museum that my boyfriend and I went to last weekend.  It was a very interesting exhibit, especially being that it came to Wasilla.  Supposedly, the guy who owns all of the materials actually is a proctologist in Wasilla, but the exhibit travels around the world.

  1. Interesting! Awww you took a pic of early "Finlandia" for me - how sweet! They did a pretty good job with the maps considering the technology or lack thereof. Maybe they had more brains those days.
