Evangelical Right: Creation Museum Hired "Sirfuxalot" Model To Play Adam

The evangelicals behind the just-opened Creation Museum are up-in-arms upon discovering that they hired a Sirfuxalot Model (Eric Linden) to portray Adam in one of the videos they've been showing to children. Additionally, the AP reports that Linden also owns the domain Bedroom Acrobat, a sexually suggestive site where he has appeared posing with a transvestite.

From Linden's website:

Adam was the one who brought sin into the world, and apparently I have brought it into the Creation Museum, and for that I sincerely apologize... And that would be a paradox ladies and gentlemen.

Creation Museum's 'Adam' shared sex exploits online

The man who portrays Adam for a museum based on the Bible's version of history led quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a line of clothing with an explicit mascot.

Registration records show that Eric Linden, who portrays Adam taking his first breath in a film at the newly opened Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., has owned a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat. He has been pictured there, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site's sexually suggestive logo.

Linden, a graphic designer, model and actor, also sells clothing for SFX International, whose mascot promotes "free love," "pleasure" and "Thrillz."

The museum's operators, informed yesterday by The Associated Press of Linden's online appearances, acted swiftly to suspend airing of the 40-second video in which he appeared.

The clip is one of 55 featured on tours of the museum, which tells the Bible's version of Earth's history that the planet was created in a single week a few thousand years ago.
"We are currently investigating the veracity of these serious claims of his participation in projects that don't align with the biblical standards and moral code upon which the ministry was founded," Answers for Genesis spokesman Mark Looy said in an e-mail.

Linden said he no longer is affiliated with the Web site.

"It's a different story when you grow up a little bit," said Linden, 27. "I'm a Web designer and I was trying to think to the future and capitalize on different domain names, just trying to be clever. I handed the domain name off to somebody, so I really don't know what's going on with it."

Ownership records available through the NetworkSolutions database show that Linden registered the site 18 months ago.

Linden, who now lives in Los Angeles, said his modeling work is just one of the many jobs that make up his career. "They're just like a kind of hip, trendy clothing line," he said.

He said he learned of the opportunity to play Adam through a childhood friend and has great respect for the founders of the Creation Museum.

"For the Creation Museum, I did what I did as an actor. It doesn't necessarily mean I believe in evolution or believe in creation," Linden said. "I'm hired to get a point across. On the flip side, if I was hired to play a murderer, that doesn't mean I'd go out and kill somebody. It's make-believe."

Linden said he was selected for the role from a lineup of contenders because his looks were sufficiently generic.

"I'm very proud to be Adam," he said. "But just because I'm Adam on the screen, that doesn't mean I'm Adam off the screen. What I do shouldn't have anything to do with who they think Adam is."
