Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction

Posted by kdawson on from the going-the-way-of-the-dinosaurs dept.

gattaca writes "A small Texas museum that teaches creationism is counting on the auction of a prehistoric mastodon skull to stave off extinction. The founder and curator of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, which rejects evolution and claims that man and dinosaurs coexisted, said it will close unless the Volkswagen-sized skull finds a generous bidder. 'If it sells, well, then we can come another day,' Joe Taylor said. 'This is very important to our continuing.'" Meanwhile, the much larger Creation Museum in Kentucky that we discussed and toured when it opened last year seems to be thriving.

    You do understand that it was Europe that dumped this religion on us?

    I think I got it. The powerful desire for creationists. If evolution does not exist there is no reason you can't marry your sister, first cousin.

    Arguing the existance of God with an athiest is like arguing the existance of red with a blind man. No, sorry, arguing the existence of God with an theist is like speaking with a little kid about Santa.
    I have nothing against religions, except when they force their morality or their "make believe" on me.

    Your joke failed and I wish there was some way of punishing you for it other than telling you that it failed. How about I call you a "fag" as well?
