"downplays the "molecules-to-man" line of Darwinian thinking" -
You've got to be kidding - this is a good thing? Creationism is a fantasy that's more akin to Disney than science. Let's make some shit up based on a fragmented and self-contradictory series of ancient myths, and stick some dinosaurs in it!
The ad is quite clever though, I'll give them that. I'll applaud it as I drive past in my atheist bus.

"the Creation Museum touts the idea of natural selection versus evolution"
I'm pretty sure the idea of natural selection is part of evolution. And the Creation Museum is known for propounding the idea of "Creationism".

This is a distinctly anti-evolution, anti-science museum, featuring pastoral dioramas of humans living peacefully with dinosaurs.

Are you kidding me? Did you just get punk'd or did we? Perhaps you're just being even-more-than-usually dry, but the line "Interestingly, and unlike many other museums, the Creation Museum touts the idea of natural selection versus evolution and downplays the "molecules-to-man" line of Darwinian thinking..." sounds a lot like something clipped from a flack's pitch.
For a different perspective on the absurdity of the Creation Museum, it's worth reading this AFP piece: http://bit.ly/2YW2e
Sample quotes:
... "It's sort of a monument to scientific illiteracy, isn't it?" said Jerry Lipps, professor of geology, paleontology and evolution at University of California, Berkeley. ... Its presents a literal interpretation of the Bible and argues that believing otherwise leads to moral relativism and the destruction of social values. ...
The billboard is indeed good, but so was a lot of tobacco advertising in the 80s.

Why isn't there a picture of a caveman riding the flying Dino?

The Earth is 6000 years old... that pterodactyl was hunted by humans when Christopher Columbus landed in North America... they ate a T-Rex for Thanksgiving and Charlie Chaplin fought the UN for control of pangea.
