I once was having a facebook conversation with a friend who had recently come back from there. He was telling me about how in Psalm 91 ([i]...shall trample the young lion and the dragon[/i]) really dealt with dinosaurs and how they were there at the same time as David and the Isrealites..

For penance I decided to watch a talk by the founder of that museum yesterday. He started with a very crude description of basic genetics, some hand-waving, and then carried on with his own bizarre version of population genetics based on the idea of change within "kinds." There's a reason why this croutons isn't going to appear in [i]Nature[/i] any time soon, and it isn't because of a Darwinist conspiracy. hehe.

Srsly, next time we drive through that area I'm taking a detour. I'm curious to see the titles in their book store.

What I think really hurts about all this is that it gets media attention and automatically people think all christians or catholics think the same. It's just so stupid.

Where did you see the vid?

Wow. Half of me wants to laugh and the other half wants to go terrorize whoever's responsible for this... And the sad part is that it's aimed straight for the kids.

Did anyone else find their slogan-thing funny? "PREPARE TO BELIEVE!"

Oh, such an inflated view of their own irrefutable logic.

[Basilisa Marie]

Aww, what a cute exercise in mental gymnastics. What lovely dioramas. We should get those kiddos some cookies for their hard work. And after that pop in some old Bill Nye videos for them to watch.

... Their one price for two days charge also gives a hint that they aren't doing too well either.

Well, people will buy toilet paper before spending their money on extraneous activities. Interesting to see what happens to them though in the long run.......although the damage has already been dealt.

[Ash Wednesday]

Ah, can't help but wonder what Luther would have thought of all this.

[Archaeology cat]

I love how people always try to discount carbon dating to prove the world is younger, but tend to ignore potassium-argon and uranium dating. I've yet to see anyone be able to disprove dendrochronology, either.

ETA: I actually do understand the desire to disprove these things, having been raised in a YEC area.

That's interesting. I didn't know that.

I've been shocked recently to learn that intelligent people who I otherwise respect buy into creationist beliefs. For example, a very prestigious theology professor dropped the old Gould quote-mining creationist canard on me. Apparently Gould secretly knew that punctuated equillibrium is evidence of repeated acts of creation in the history of life and that it disproves common ancestry and macroevolution. I'm stilling picking my jaw up off the floor.

My studying archaeology got me in trouble a little back home.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is razzle dazzle. Seeing him exposed would ruin everything for me as I do not want to see him naked, as I am sure this would ruin everything for everyone else.

[mortify]

I am not a creationist in the strict sense of the word, but at the same time I'm skeptical of the secular dogmas being proposed for belief. There are many serious flaws in the theory of evolution that have not been properly explained, and are left more as mysteries (starting to see the religiosity?) Sadly for the creationists in the creationist museum, their misunderstanding of the geneologies in the old testatment forces them to fit the history of world within 6 thousand years. The reality is those genealogies are not comprehensive, and that rather than listing immediate descendents one after another, actually relate key figures in a much wider time gap. There irrationality is a symptom of their spiritual bankruptcy.

Such as? And what do you mean, not a creationist in the strict sense?

The question I use to stump the hyper-creationists is this: if Genesis is to be taken super-literally (including in matters of science), where is the dome in the sky that holds back the water, and where are the gates that open and close to let out the rain? After all, NASA must have had to find a way to pass through it in order get to the moon.
