What is the Creation Research Museum of Ontario?
It's a rock, fossil and mineral collection making up several displays and exhibited in different
areas in Southern Ontario showing a "Better Interpretation of the Rocks" that being evidence for
Creation and Catastrophe/Noah's Flood reaffirming that the bible can be trusted from cover to cover.
The majority of the collection is housed at Goodwood Baptist Church in Goodwood Ontario.
In 2017 the museum was totally renovated and with the addition of 3 more displays.
New colour and style was modeled after Big Valley Creation Science Museum in Alberta Canada.
Added to the Ontario museum is a “Fossils of Nova Scotia show case a Montana dinosaur bone
showcase and a stalactite shelf. The existing showcases are now separated in categories;
living fossils, trilobites, cephalopods, trace fossils, vugs (cavities), catastrophe, minerals/metals
and the Ice Age. Also evidence demonstrated for intelligent design.
Here's what Pastor Liew says about the importance of Creation:
"We are living in a time when our society is so influenced by the humanistic philosophy
of evolution, it is imperative for the Bible-believing Churches to promote the ministries
such as Creation Research. If we don't do it, our country will be drifting farther away from
the Christian principles & the Bible will become irrelevant to guide our lives with no notion
of what is right or wrong. Today children are growing up with no clear understanding of the
Biblical accounts of creation & therefore their faith is no longer grounded in the Word of God.
I believe that the Creation is one of the strong foundations of our faith. We strongly commend
& support the ministries of Creation Research & Martin. We also appreciate the display cases
he kindly placed in our Church".

Ministry Needs
Can you help?
1) We are looking for a gas powered concrete saw to remove fossils
from the field. Using a hammer would potentially destroy them.
December 2017 Update. Thanks to a couple who wish to remain
anonymous a rock saw has been donated!
2) We are always looking for better fossil collecting sites and quarries.
Any that you know of near you?
3) Fossil storage. As is the usual in most museums, only a small percentage of fossils are displayed.
We are always looking for secure fossil storage areas.

Museum Feedback
Dear Martin,
A friend mentioned your ministry, so I looked up your newsletter and then your site. We are missionaries to Brazil, but reside in London, Ontario, during furlough. I had seen that there were new creation museums popping up in Canada, and had watched Ian Juby's site, but have always wished we had something a little closer to London. The Goodwood/Collingwood area is an improvement for us, and a boost for the whole area. May your tribe increase!
We seriously do hope that your ministry can grow and touch more people. I sometimes feel that many of our churches are creationist tolerant at best, when they should be creationist friendly or creationist promoting. We hope that things go well for you and will hope to visit on our next furlough. In Christ, John Baab
Hello Martin,
Thank you for emailing us. Yes, please do let us know about any details regarding John Mackay in Feb 2011. For your encouragement, we pray for you and the Lord's ministry through the wonderful work that you do. We are very thankful for you.
In Christ, the Ng family
