Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky
Noel Linback writes "A new creationism-espousing museum is opening in the state of Kentucky. According to a New York Times article the museum depicts humans and dinosaurs living together in traditional 'diorama' style exhibit. 'Whether you are willing to grant the premises of this museum almost becomes irrelevant as you are drawn into its mixture of spectacle and narrative. Its 60,000 square feet of exhibits are often stunningly designed by Patrick Marsh, who, like the entire museum staff, declares adherence to the ministry's views; he evidently also knows the lure of secular sensations, since he designed the Jaws and King Kong attractions at Universal Studios in Florida. For the skeptic the wonder is at a strange universe shaped by elaborate arguments, strong convictions and intermittent invocations of scientific principle. For the believer, it seems, this museum provides a kind of relief: Finally the world is being shown as it really is, without the distortions of secularism and natural selection. '"
I mean, the whiskey has to count for SOMETHING, right?
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
And they rested on the seventh, but that was due to union regulations.
Satan.
See, isn't this easier than thinking?

If having state-of-the-art special effects and fake sea breezes makes you happy, then go for it. Probably would be cheaper and more effective to just down a fifth of bourbon, but this is for the whole family.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Wait... wait... wait. You're telling me that some Christians believe in evolution? Hmm, so if you're willing to compromise on evolution, why not gay marriage?
That's it, I'm starting the Homosexual Creationism Museum which honors homosexual Neanderthals and dinosaurs.
I think that's a fair compromise.
The dinosaurs wouldn't uh... stand still long enough. Cave-men drawn pictures are time-exposed shots.
Agreed
"The other catastrophe, in the museum's view, is of more recent vintage: the abandonment of the Bible by church figures who began to treat the story of creation as if it were merely metaphorical, and by Enlightenment philosophers, who chipped away at biblical authority"
As a poet, I'm offended by the phrase "merely" metaphorical.
My turnips listen for the soft cry of your love
Some of the contractors might tell you it actually took a lot longer, but Satan just sent them here to deceive us.
most non-christians and even many christians don't really know the real Jesus. There's a perception that he's gentle and kind and meek...but that isn't the savior you get to know when you really get up to the higher tiers of a REAL Christian church. We know our Jesus. He was ripped, aggressive, a take-no-prisoners-in-your-face kind of guy. And why not? He was god, he had the truth, can't argue with that! Yes, you non-believers (or unenlighted faux-believers) can wallow in your ineffectual caricature of our Christ, being "charitable" to the lazy and satanic poor, and promoting hellish pacifism...but we'll be down at our Kentucky museum observing truth, smashing whiskey bottles on the Devil's head, cuttin down some trees to burn some scientific lies, and paving an extra-wide thoroughfare to heaven for us and our kids!...Have fun taking the rutty dirt path to hell...sinners.
Since God gave man dominion over the earth, it wouldn't look right if a dinosaur was eating a man. If the museum flops, it can always be turned into a minature golf course.
You'd think that being the master of deception he'd at least be able to draw more than rough stick figures and such. Satan needs art classes. Or maybe it's because he was younger and less experienced back then...
Give Kashyyyk back to the Wookies
heh. Did you see the "dragon hall" ?
dragon hall
I guess the dragons didn't make it to the ark because they followed the unicorns.

That just about covers it, I think.

And on the Seventh Day... god rested by switching off the creationists brains!
Now I'm torn between supporting young-earth creationnists or an organisation with a marquee on its website. Help me Slashdot !
"And fried chicken, mmmm..."
OK, so man and dinosaurs lived together. That must mean then, that all the Biblical hero's were pansies. I mean all they did was kill few wolves (David) and enter a Lions den (Daniel) . If they were real hero's why did they not slay one of the T-Rexes that were wondering around eating everything in sight or enter a den of hungry Velosoraptors. Then they would have been real hero's.
Undetectable Steganography? Yep, there's an app fo
WTF! You mean there's no gravity?
... I always thought Creationism belonged in a museum.

I think they might be on to something... its quite possible that natural selection is wrong, given that people this stupid exist! Otherwise their ancestors would have been eaten by bears.
Also, they probably feed their plants with Brawndo: "Its got what plants crave!"
I almost modded you up for the Bill S. Preston, Esq. quote, but you didn't get it quite right.
... Party on, dudes!
It is: Be excellent to each other. (from here)
And then, of course, Ted says
HIV Crosses Species Barrier... into Muppets
We actually know for a fact that Jesus rode a raptor into Jersualem: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/UnNews:Legitimate_Bib lical_archeologists_discover_raptor_tracks_in_Jeru salem/
Nope. The Earth sucks!
What?
I don't beleive in gravity, only in intelligent downward pressure...
Watch my keen, tactical observational and logical skills:
Bears, boars, and lions all exist, so they made it to the ark. These creatures are manly.
Dragons, unicorns, and faeries are all mythical, so they didn't. Girls like these creatures more, in general.
Humans tend to like things similar to themselves. Therefore, dragons, unicorns, and faeries are girly.
Girls take FOREVER to get ready to go anywhere.
Therefore, they all missed the ark because they were "still putting on their face" when the ark left.
Damn women.
On a side thought, if the entire world was flooded, why don't we find fossils/fish remains on the top of tall mountains, usually? You'd think the fish of the world would have swam to these new areas.
ooh it turns from one type of drink to a slightly different one! It hasn't turned into a monkey yet - or your grandfather, though, has it?
The title *should* have been:
Creationism relegated to museum.
You are so right! God is fucking with our minds! That must explain dinosaurs.
...your "creation science" museum has a notice saying:
"Please note that the Creation Museum is a smoke-free facility. Firearms and pets (other than service animals) are not permitted in the museum."
