Anti-Science Museum Set To Open
The Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky, a $27 million religious showcase is scheduled to open it's doors on Memorial Day this year.The "museum" (quotes are appropriate every time I mention this place but will get annoying so implied quotes for the rest of this post please) is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible: The world was created in six, 24-hour days, some time between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. Humans appeared on day 6, and they didn't evolve from nothing.
The museum explains that there were dinosaurs of every kind aboard Noah's ark and some dinos even managed to hang around until just a few hundred years ago. Wait, Noah's arc? These people have obviously not seen Jurassic Park II - The Lost World because if they had, they would know that when you put a dinosaur on a boat, pandemonium ensues!
Some other great facts you'll learn while making your pilgrimage to KY:
- Tyrannosaurus Rex was a strict vegetarian and lived with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
- The light from the stars we see did not take millions of years to get here
- Fossils in rock layers are animals that drowned in the flood
- Belief in evolution is a major cause of abortion and pornography
- Answers in Genesis (the group building the museum) are ass-raping the word "science"
It seems that the people who are so opposed to the idea of evolution are coincidentally the same people who are pushing to devolve the scientific knowledge of the world. Ironic, no?
This is not a museum, this is just another attack in the war on science. This is an affront to common sense. This is where you can take your home-schooled kids for a field trip (whew, finally - poor home-schoolers). This is a salute to brilliant TV shows like the Flintstones and Land of the Lost.
This is pissing me off.
When the Gallup Poll asked people about their views on the subject last March, 47 percent of Americans polled said that God created humans in their present form some time in the last 10,000 years. That belief was strongest among those with less education, regular churchgoers, people 65 and older, and Republicans.
I'm not anti religion. I support diversity. This museum gets me mad because it masks religious beliefs (which are fine) as science and fact (not cool). That's just plain propaganda.

for posting a picture of jesus carrying a cross on the back of a dinosaur.
I am going to make this pilgrimage. Its sort of on the way to the park where you can see neon fairies. Which were created by God on the 5th day if I am correct. Or something.
Fairies are the devils work I beleive.
It's very simple, really. They want to call reading the bible and thinking really, really hard about what some obscure prose means 'science'? Fine. But we're going to be borrowing some of their terminology for a bit. Examples:
Pedophilia: "Spreading the word of God to the children"
Masturbation: "Rapture"
Beer, TV, and Doritos: "The Holy Trinity"
I could go on, but I'd rather not get my house burned down.
dogGod?"I'm just going to stick to worshiping false idols and keeping my hands idle to better facilitate demon puppet shows.
facts? do you deny the gospels were all written twenty to seventy years after the death of Christ? passed down orally for seventy years- the longest known game of telephone- the New Testament, centuries later. you have put faith in thousands of people you or anyone living have ever met- none of them actually Christ- people that made their damn good living from tithing- do you believe the world was created approximately 10,000 years ago? because if you do, you are a moron. if you don't, then maybe you and all your reasonable christian friends should stop judging all the sinners and write a new millenia testament that is a little less ridiculous.
you haven't seen a scientist beat a creationist in a debate? that's because a scientist needs FACTS. creationalist can make things up based on faith. you people lay the faith on too thick- and for people too young to understand when to use it instead of common sense, it creates a lifetime of poor decision making. but honestly, if it makes you happy; more power to you. namaste anonymous.
The fact that you left your comment anonymously and the fact that your comment sounds preconceived and doesn't respond directly to anything in the post brings me to the assumption that you are cowardly and a propagandist. You're actually not the first - I've been hit with Islamic comment spam too.
Considering your "type", you will most likely never read this reply (afraid of debate or afraid of facing the truth?) but I'll respond anyway.
I won't go into the naughty/illegal details but if it were a contest, I think I might win.
That's because scientists, real scientists, don't need to debate evolution. It's a fact that is supported by evidence all around us. It would be like debating gravity. What would you think of someone who insisted on debating the existence of gravity? Additionally, why would a scientist want to argue your faith? They are two different things - a fact you are obviously not clear on due to your repetitive use of the phrase "creation science".
Why isn't creationism taught in schools? Because it is a religious concept. Whe do not teach religion in our schools because (unlike the Taliban) we are not a theocracy nor should we seek to foster/stifle any one faith under the guise of education.
Excellent response, Papillon. It seems that within the (very open) confines of GorillaSushi, science has won this battle (today).
Interesting idea of posting your cell number on a publicly viewed website though (almost 2 months later).
I think Charles Darwin has done a fine job at proving evolution - for me to argue it would be an insult to his findings.
The bottom line? How can I argue with someone who beleives in some invisible magic guy in the sky that controls and has created everything? Rational people know that unicorns don't exist but if I said "they do exist but they're invisible" then who would want to argue with that?
The basic beleif in a magic God that can do anything nulifies the opportunity for any sort of rational debate.
thats fucking awesome. post that # in the shout box with a "call for free $25.00 Old Navy Gift Certificate" message.
geez. and i thought 'believing' made him irrational...
