A Field Trip To the Creation Museum
Lillith writes "The anti-evolution Creation Museum opened last weekend and Ars took a field trip there and took lots of pictures. 'There were posters explaining just how coal could be formed in a few weeks as opposed to over millions of years, and how rapidly the biblical flood would cover the earth, drowning all but a handful of living creatures. The flood plays a big part in the museum's attempt to explain away what we see as millions of years of natural processes. There was also an explanation as to why, with only one progenitor family, it wasn't considered incest for Adam and Eve's children to marry each other.' (Myself, I liked the picture of the velociraptor grazing peacefully next to Eve, who is wearing some kind of dirndl, in the Garden of Eden.)" The reporter posted more photos from the museum on Flickr.
And can someone explain what is bad with a naked body? Typical religious bullshit. Nudity is not bad, we are all naked. Violence is bad, nudity is good.
If you mod me down, I *will* introduce you to my sister!
Wow,
./ers who have probably never had their preconceived notions of the origins of life challenged in any substantive way. I thought the whole idea of online discussion forums was to present many views on an issue and consider them all thoughtfully. I guess I'm being optimistic to assume that today's closed scientific community has the patience and fairness required to consider opposing views on complicated and far from cut and dried issues.
I'm amazed at the vitriol and hatred coming from many
Just try to take a view countering the dominate culture on many open scientific issues today and watch the screamers and shouters substitute arrogant one-liners for reasoned debate.
Have any of you gentle readers ever heard of such distinguished SCIENTISTS as Sir Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler? These men were not ignorant and uninformed and above all they were certainly no anti-scientific, but they believed that God created the world.
Please stop the name calling and decrying the end of civilization as we know it. Take a breath. Open your minds. And think.
Is there anything about Buddhism? Did they say anything about Dalai Lama?
There is a spark in every single flame bait point.
Any population that kills its babies is going to be out bred by a population that holds killing of babies in low regard. From an eugenics standpoint, voluntary abortions are counter-productive. In other words: you're going to have to enforce something at some point, or resign yourself to cultural oblivion.
Can you be Even More Awesome?!
You could also consider Christians polytheistic: The father, son, and holy ghost.
