Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction
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.
... no one buy it!
Two states where I'm pretty sure you could find arguments against evolution just by looking at the local populace. I guess if they don't believe in evolution they don't feel the need to do so themselves.
today is spelling optional day.
The funny part about the original CNN article I read on this said that Heritage Auction Galleries estimated the age of the thing to be at around 40,000 years old. At least the musuem guy is letting smarter people sell the thing.
How can they sell this skull as a 40,000 year old artifact if they claim it's less than 6000 years old?
c) purchase the skull and put it on a pike outside the front door as a warning to others.
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
'If it sells, well, then we can come another day,' Come again?
I think that means his wife is cutting him off until he gets that damned thing out of the house.

I thought it just minored in Asia.

This is getting worse than Mac vs PC.
Well, at least their prospects for selling it look rosy. I'm sure a member of the large "creationist fossil hunters with lots of money to burn" community will come to bail them out.

I just read Slashdot for the articles.
And don't forget world 36 on Super Mario Brothers. That one can be pretty tricky if you don't know what to expect.
