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.

Re:Evolution is a theory too

All the substantiation behind it maybe? The fact that it doesn't break laws of thermodynamics etc.

If an all-powerful god can create all of life and everything, how do you explain cancer and the other flavors of suffering god's creatures are facing? If he's involved in the day to day, he's pretty nasty, our best hope is that he's an absentee landlord.
