More of a satire in response to the Creation Museum, Matt et. al.

It is created by an internet radio show but they do use a very important fact:

If you are to take the Bible literally, then you must pay attention to the 8 mentions of Unicorns in the Bible. Hence as a counterpoint to the Creationists who believe the Earth was created in 6 days and is 6000 years and the Earth was actually entirely Flooded, if the Bible mentions unicorns, they must be true as well!

So yeah, there is no "actual" museum... yet.

other translations of the Bible say "wild-ox" instead.

it's worth remembering that the Bible is translated from Hebrew or something.
then Latin, then English from Latin (i could be wrong, but the main idea is that the Bible IS a translation).

it was translated by university scholars, in a time when the world wasn't well-known and words translate in a number of ways, there would be no reason for them not to believe a unicorn was being described and not something similar.

the Bible has many translations, and no one seems to have a problem with the lack of unicorns in most translations. the descriptions are probably mostly (i only saw one) metaphorical in which case the choice of a fictional animal is by no means odd.

True, but that doesn't matter ... people who take the bible literal should believe in multiple Gods, the Old Testament, two 'genesis' stories etc. as well. It's all too obvious the bible as a whole can not be literally correct, hence the weird interpretation-this-like-that-we-do.

Quite disturbing that they do not even believe in their own literalcy.
