The Creation Museum is a $27 Million state-of-the-art facility intended to teach the "truth" of the biblical creation story and promote the belief that the Universe is 6000 years old, Adam walked with the dinosaurs, and the Bible is a wholly accurate historical record.
At a time when U.S. children's proficiency in Science and Mathematics is among the lowest in the modern world, we feel that the Creation Museum represents a challenge to the education and well-being of America's youth.

Didn't Mary ride one of those to the north pole?
The sad thing is these people will no less likely believe the unicorn museum is legit than the "cretin" museum exhibits.

Unicorns must have been killed off by all those dinosaurs in the garden of eden.

You can have your unicorns, but I'm partial to Pegasus. It's the only way to fly!

Is it just me, or is this just one of many signs that the old generation doesn't want to admit that the world is changing far faster than they are?
The more educated people are, the broader their experiences are, the more people they meet and places they go, the more they see and hear, the less likely they are to be hard-right religious. Religion is comforting to people who don't know a hell of a lot or who aren't very bright.

I don't really have a problem with the Creation "Museum" itself. If people want to spend their money to be lied to, that is their business.
I think it's idiotic and a waste of money, of course, as any intelligent person would.
My problem with it is calling it a Museum gives it some remote scientific credibility. It should be called a church, as that is what it is, plain and simple.
Also, museums usually have grant funding from the local government. I hope to God that the Creation CHURCH didn't get any such funding. If it did, every citizen who paid for it should revolt against their city hall and demand that the CHURCH pay that money back.
Funny story though.

There are no unicorns. There is no flying spaghetti monster. The Hamburgler is real however, and I can prove it. I saw him with my own eyes at my 5th birthday party at McDonalds. I used all of my reasoning ability, the best I could muster and reasoned that he was real. I actually sat in his lap and even saw him try to steal little Suzies hamburger. Not only did I use my best reasoning power, but I had empirical evidence. Also, my conclusion was corroborated by my peers who also used their best reasoning ability and based their opinions on empirical evidence. It should be pointed out that my peers were not even of the same world view and still reached the same conclusion. Little Billy grew up to be a bible salesman who worked graveyard as a janitor at the creation evidence museum to make ends meet, and little Suzie grew up to be a very influential trans gender executive for the local NPR affiliate. Our best reasoning, empirical evidence and corroborated by my peers... it has to be true.

For further evidence I also saw him on television. He was on a commercial during a Discovery channel program, and everything that is on the Discovery channel is true... well not everything. Most programs are though. Like the ones about dinosaurs, and where they came from, how long ago they lived and what they ate and stuff. And the ones about us humans, where we came from and when and what we are all about. And the ones about the universe, how big it is, where it came from and how fast it is expanding. Not every show is true however, like the one I saw about terrorist flying planes into buildings in the U.S. They even called them evil. Sheesh, what has happened to the Discovery channel? Soon they will be airing Christian fundie programming on Sunday mornings...

The unicorn issue again? Seriously? I thought this had been covered to death. I am not the biggest AIG fan but they do a good job on this one.

Plus, you have to love the old tactic of comparing Christianity with something ridiculous to make anyone that might believe it seem ridiculous. Its much easier than doing research, studying something, and making a valid argument or even worse, having to form your own opinion.
