Posted by: RickyDawkins 2 years, 6 months ago..AiG's museum will proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will show that there is a Creator.. HAHAHAHAHA "The nature of the science process that's presented at the Answers in Genesis museum is very different from how science is really done by real scientists."

May 31, 2007, 12:07 p.m.A quick run through of the FAQ reveals much about the mindset of the people running this project, and the danger therein:
"Why is this museum needed?
Our increasingly anti-Christian country must return to a belief in the authority of the Bible and be presented with the life-changing gospel message. Evolutionary indoctrination has undermined the Christian foundations in America."
America anti-Christian? A country with a bible in every hotel room, where being president requires you to proclaim your faith, and where one cannot watch a boxing match without seeing a boxer thank the all-mighty creator of the universe for helping him beat the crap out of his fellow man, is anti-Christian?!?! Pray tell, how would Mr. Ham describe Iran?

May 31, 2007, 12:12 p.m.What is so different about this museum?
"Almost all natural history museums proclaim an evolutionary, humanistic worldview. For example, they will typically place dinosaurs on an evolutionary timeline millions of years before man. AiG's museum will proclaim the authority and accuracy of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and will show that there is a Creator, and that this Creator is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-20), who is our Savior."
But what in the world does Jesus being our Savior have to do with the age of the dinosaurs?
Again, I've never seen anything about humanism in natural museums. It's not humanism, but a willingness to examine the geological record, or tree rings, or ice cores, or the stars, and the ability to count, that leads one inevitably to the conclusion that the earth is far older than 6,000 years, and that dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans.

May 31, 2007, 12:35 p.m.Here's the kicker though, Rick. Ham thinks it's REAL. At least that's what he says. Idiot. I think, maybe, I'm not quite sure yet, but I may be done with treating religion and its various forms with anything approaching respect. I mean, I don't tread lightly around those that still believe in Zeus or Apollo.
If a person can look at the evidence that is overwhelmingly in support of evolution and still close their mind, to the point of donating money to some douche that wants to perpetuate the idiocy, I guess that's fine. I mean it's a free country. But, I have the right to point and laugh and ridicule them for the backwards mythologists that they are.

May 31, 2007, 12:40 p.m.And of COURSE Susan Parrish sunk this story. I mean, Rick, aren't you posting this story just so people can see how far out in left (well, I guess in this case Right) field these people are? I mean, heaven forbid that we actually use our minds and rationally look at the evidence rather than slamming the door on our mind shut so tight that it won't ever open. I guess a lot of people would rather have a 2,000 year old fairy tale full of murder, rape, vengeance, violence, incest, adultery and general Old Testament wrath as their guide rather than the wondrous vision and ability of the human mind.
By the way, no offense intended Susan. If you want to shut off your brain, that's your concern, not mine.

There are tons of pictures of it on Flickr (Prepare to laugh a lot):

May 31, 2007, 1 p.m.I loved this paragraph, true poetry!:
"America anti-Christian?

Does anyone think we should get the guys from 'Mythbusters' in on this? I do.

May 31, 2007, 1:09 p.m.Here's an online walk-through. Notice that they are sure to have a gift shop and that the corporate offices are almost as big as the 'museum' itself.

May 31, 2007, 1:20 p.m.Here's what you have to do to be a part of the security detail at the Creation 'museum'.
"Items needed for possible employment
* Resume
* Salvation testimony
* Creation belief statement
* Confirmation of your agreement with the AiG Statement of Faith"
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/jobs/...
Actually that's for any job at the museum. Here's the "AIG Statement of Faith"
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/about...
If it was anything other than religion it would be rightly considered to be totally out of line. But, since it's religion we are all supposed to just say that it's fine. Ridiculous.

May 31, 2007, 2:08 p.m.Sadly there are people who believe this nonsense. Sadly they are manipulated by the hucksters selling this load of shiite.
Sadly at the republican debates only 2 hands went up when asked if they believed in evolution. (As if anyone on that stage was qualified to examine scientific data). These people vote. Hence the mess we are in. I find it quite difficult to respect any religion, though I try. Ultimately its all nonsense.
Except the flying spaghetti monster of course.
Who has recently been seen in Germany!

May 31, 2007, 2:16 p.m.Thanks for the post. I might have missed out on all the fun if I hadn't been informed that this is a comedy museum.

May 31, 2007, 2:29 p.m.As I said in another post, I don't think it is stupid for them to build this thing. I just don't want it to be able to be called a "museum." That title is reserved for institutions of learning. This thing is a church.
Or, you could call it an art installation if you wish.
It is not a museum.

May 31, 2007, 2:50 p.m.I know what happened to the dinosuars. After the flood, they all found that Christ was their saviour, had their own rapture, and they all went to heaven, only their bones remain. This is true because you cannot disprove it. LOL

May 31, 2007, 3:08 p.m.Holy Crap....there are a bunch of these places.
http://nwcreation.net/museums.html
I am going to make an effort to visit the one in Pensacola next month. Should be a hoot!
Seriously though, it is pathetic that any parent would take their children to such a place to learn about science. Hopefully someday these kids will grow up and be exposed to reality.

May 31, 2007, 4:17 p.m.I guess I'll believe it when we find a homo sapiens fossil in the fossilized digestive tract of a T. Rex.
Unless, of course, before the Fall of Man, the T. rex was a vegetarian.

May 31, 2007, 11:08 p.m.Boy, You all sound so sure about evolution. I just find it hard when i look at my daughter and son. To believe that it was all just a accident. The other part i have a hard time with is that people were once apes. I would love to hear how that happened. I guess strange things happen everyday. Makes me nervous that maybe one moring i'll wake up and my dog will turn into a bear or something. She keeps getting bigger. I'll have to keep a close eye on her.

June 1, 2007, 1:21 a.m.You can fool some people all of the time and all people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time! And after some 2000-years of recorded christianity, the point is near, for all to see, that when a creed is about to cave in under the weight of its lies and "miracles", its adherents will go to desperate lengths to prolong the chicanery...

June 1, 2007, 9:26 a.m.It's OK folks, don't panic, how can we be so stupid as to not recognise this as one massive hoax?. The clue to all of this is in the bloke's name i.e. "Ham"!

June 1, 2007, 11:45 a.m.What's most amusing about this whole thing is how threatened you all appear to feel by this organization's existence. If it's such obvious tom-foolery, then why worry? Other than a waste of 27 million dollars, (which pales in comparison to the billions and billions wasted by the government every year) it's just a harmless fantasy.

June 1, 2007, 11:21 p.m.ok maybe the dog to a bear was a little bit of a strecth. Even though i was surprised to hear that a bear is related to a pig.
Still my point is correct that one animal just cannot turn into another. The bird flu idea sounded interesting but its still just another form of a flu.
Things just don't change from one animal to another. Even if there is a resemblance.
Teaching kids that they evolved from monkeys is stupid. No wonder the public schools are having such a hard time. They teach no value for how presious life is. Then they cry about how all these kids act like animals.
Maybe if we got back to the truth that each of us was created by a loving God. Who made us with a purpose. We would have kids searching for God's Will for them.
