Yes, the flight from fact and reason takes another giant leap forward on May 28, when the Creation Museum opens in Petersburg, Kentucky.
The museum, created by the Answers in Genesis Ministry features Adam and Eve cavorting with dinosaurs, and a special ‘deluge simulator’ theatre. Basically, the museum mashes the selective invocation of scientific principles with the Bible’s creation story.
Were it not for the trapezoidal intellectual exercise of holding two contradictory ideas in mind required by the Creation Museum, it sounds like a pretty fun place. I mean, I’ve always wondered if dinosaurs were on the Ark. And, despite the fact that giant carnivorous thunder lizards would seriously complicate a 40 day voyage, it turns out they were! The builders of modern super-tankers and aircraft carriers could take a page out of Noah’s book. He somehow managed to build a ship- out of wood- that could accomodate all 1.5 million named species, plus the 700 dinos we’ve managed to discover. That’s 3 million animals in one boat, many of which actively considering eating the others. Throw dinosaurs into the mix, and that’s a spicy meatball. Have you seen Jurassic Park? Man, stay away from the velociraptor deck.
Thanks to Ms. Barlow for passing this along.
You’re playing fast and loose with the facts, brother.
It’s clear that the animals would not be trying to eat one another because G-d would have told them not to for the duration of the trip. It wasn’t even mind control, either, because He would just need to say something like, “See how i just wiped out the planet with water? If you don’t behave on the ship, you’re next!”
Who would doubt G-d’s word? Not even a dinosaur is that stupid!
I take your silence on the issue as proof that you’ve bowed to my powerful logic.
Score: 1 for those in the know and a big dinosaur egg for the handbasket set.
Speak truth to liberal media power!
PS – The title you used for the entry suggests that Flat Earthers and Bible readers are somehow connected. That’s just not true. Read your Bible, brother. Earth is a triangle. Word!
You’re right. I have doubted the might powers of [deity's name removed] to further my own liberal heathen agenda.
Although, I would point out that a triangle shaped earth would be flat on three sides.
Five sides, actually. And it’s moving through space the same way that mirror prison does in the second Superman movie. Every once in a while, Hollywood gets something right.
Wouldn’t that, strictly speaking, be a pyramid?
Nope. Two big flat sides and three flat narrow sides. Like a flat, triangle-shaped plate.
I thought you had all kinds of fancy book learning. You need more Book learning!
And don’t get me started on the whole pyramid thing. How is that place a tourist spot these days? Don’t people remember the ten plagues? Would G-d send plagues to a place He wanted us to visit for vacations? Sure, to spread the Good Word, but not for vacations.
I like your blog and think we should be friends. I bet we have a lot of things in common and lots of things to talk about!
