The Mount St. Helens Creation Information Center (previously the 7 Wonders Creation Museum), also 7 Wonders Museum of Mount St. Helens, is a ministry, museum, and bookstore dedicated to promoting young Earth creationism. The museum is located along the main road off of I-5 at Castle Rock, Washington near Silverlake, Washington (or Toutle, Washington) near Mount St. Helens, United States. Admission is free, and often accompanied by a guided tour of volcano sights. The museum was founded in 1998 by Lloyd and Doris Anderson, and is now directed by Paul and Geraldine Taylor. Lloyd Anderson has a master's degree in theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, and is a retired pastor; his wife Doris has worked as a registered nurse and journalist. The 7 Wonders Museum takes its name from seven Mount St. Helens land features that changed in no more than a few years. The Museum presents geologic evidence and facts about Mount St. Helens as being consistent with the Bible as "without error in the original writing." The eruption and rapid formation of structures are presented as divine evidence for a young earth. ==Criticism== Most of the scientific community currently considers creationism to be pseudoscience.〔 "By one count there are some 700 scientists (out of a total of 480,000 U.S. earth and life scientists) who give credence to creation-science, the general theory that complex life forms did not evolve but appeared 'abruptly'"〕 As a result, science organizations, such as the National Center for Science Education, criticize the promotion of creationism as a form of non-science. Scientists say the museum rejects modern science because of the museum's preconceived religious views, and misleads visitors by extrapolating very special geologic events into equivalence with much longer-term events. Wilfred Elders, an emeritus professor of geology at the University of California-Riverside and a former chairman of the Education Committee of the Geothermal Resources Council of the U.S.A. stated:
