Creationist museum challenges evolution
By Martin Redfern
BBC News, Kentucky, USA

For some a battle between science and religion is being fought for the soul of America. The Creationists argue God created the world in six days and want their beliefs given equal status to evolutionary science.


Petersburg Kentucky is in the middle of North America. It is supposedly within a day's drive of two thirds of the US population.

For the rest, it is just 10 minutes from Cincinnati International Airport. That is why it was picked as the site for a new museum, due to open in a couple of months.

1. No, it proves there's a sucker born every minute

bet they don't get the numbers of visitors they are counting on.

2. I bet they didn't build it in six days either.

They have surely skimmed their cut no matter what happens.

3. Not really

it proves CREATIONISTS are morons, but this says nothing about the general population. These Bible theme parks always go under pretty quickly

4. There's a Noah's Ark display at my favorite ice cream store.

The store is run by a local guy, a real nice man, and he hires similarly nice kids to help him. He likes to put up stuff to decorate the place like cow themes, an electric train, and the like. This week, he put up three separate Noah's Arks with crowds of various animals. In one of them, he included two dinosaurs -- they don't match each other (obviously not a mating pair). I'm hoping it's just a goof, but I'm afraid to ask.

6. We put odd things in our "religious" displays also.

Sometimes Noah's ark isn't about fundamentalism, same with our christmas creche which includes the Holy Robot and Nurse in Waiting. Sounds like he has a sense of humor about it.

8. That's my guess, as well.

The two dinos are a T-rex and a pterodactyl (pteronodon or whatever -- flying lizard). It he were being serious, he'd have them strictly paired as he did with the giraffes, apes, etc.

7. most of them are nice people

but there's something pathological about their mental processes. It's not so much about what they believe but how they arrived at their reasoning that I find disturbing.

5. Ask a creationist who opposes global warming

if they believe the earth was warmed by natural cycles millions of years ago. They will say yes. So they believe nature was warming the planet during a period of time they do not believe existed.

Trick fucking a moron, its too easy.

10. I'm gonna have to use that one

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I know several good thumpers-I can't wait to try it out on them.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Its their argument against Al Gore

they say the earth warms naturally in cycles because every 100 thousands of years or so the earth is slightly closer to the sun. That's abolutely true. And they use that argument to say man has nothing to do with global warming and their way to link the warming only to nature. But there is that little clash with genesis. And I've yet to see one of these constitution haters stoning to death anyone who works on the sabbath. I guess the bible is just a paper weight to most of them.

9. I wonder if these ass carrots get a tax exemption, like Church's.

[opihimoimoi]

12. Faith allows these peeps to embrace Delusion like its the last thing on EARTH

You can't tell them shit...they got their minds made up...Brainwashed to the point of ABSURDITY....and yet...they adhere to their present position....truly amazing in this day and age of supposed REASON....

[formercia]

13. Even a simple experiment

divide the depth of the Grand Canyon by the number of Years since Noah= average number of feet per Year of erosion. According to them it will be measurable, but just try to get them to do the experiment and they will find all kind of excuses why it won't work.

The Bible was written by Men, hundreds or thousands of years or more after the fact. Most is allegory, some distorted fact, a lot just plain bull.

those people need to get a life. They just can't handle reality.
