Creation Museum - Video

[Richard]

Oh god(s).



Also I have a very odd request. I am producing a DVD on poetry. One of the poems is called "Women and Men". The vision will be lots of photos of restroom signs. (Male Female / Men Women / Gents Ladies / Man sign, Woman sign) and so on. If anyone can send me photos of funny or odd signs like this from whatever county you are in, I would be grateful. You can email photos to cosmicspoon@gmail.com

"Challenging and controversial"--is that Australian for "utter crap"?

No, it's universal for "This is a news story that we have to dress up to make it sound interesting and serious because if we don't we will wet ourselves laughing."

It's a real shame that Kim Schiffman is so cute, but such a friggin' idiot.

I watched the story too this morning with a slight headshake end a growing sense of disbelief. What a bunch of fools. WOWSERS.... It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Richard,

When do you need the photos by?

The worst part for me as an American, and I've seen several news segments on our national news outlets here, isn't Ham and his BS, but how the general public is just lapping his, Hovind's federal prisoner 1875294's BS with relish. Ham, et. al. are clearly crazy, but it's sad to see so many of my fellow citizens so deluded yet thinking they are sipping from the cup of "truth."

Living so close (~2hr) to this epicenter of insanity makes me feel all the more flabergasted.

I was taught every word in the bible is true. So evolution is just stupid

and from

Every word of the bible is true and we know every word of the bible is true because the bible tells us that every word of the bible is true, and from earlier in this sentence, every word in the bible is true

and I thought they were just being satirical. I didn't realize it was an argument that is actually used.

 

[Miss Anthrope]

Joobz-that video clip sums it up beautifully!

 

[Soapy Sam]

Where in the bible does it say that every word in the bible is true?

I don't actually give a chute, but I find self-referential sentences kinda neat.

 

[hgc]

I was raised up believing [whatever] is true. Therefore [whatever] is true.

Every time someone says this, it is the dumbest thing ever uttered since that last time someone said it.

You mean, something like this?

 

[joobz]

You mean, something like this?

it's funny because it's true.

As a side question, I was hoping that you folks could help me out. On CTV, they're asking for feedback on the museum. Here's the link of what some people had to say so far:

One comment that caught my attention was this one here:

Thank you CTV for the article. Interesting to ask Jeff McKee how he supports his belief about "millions-of-years." Being truthful, Carbon dating has been debunked. Systems are so complex in nature / humans / space that only intelligence could design and make it work.
David Johnston

Bold mine. My question is a simple, WTF? Okay, question 2, I did a search on here for any forums where you may have already discussed this, and why creationalists claim that carbon dating has been debunked. I don't want to get into the debate again, but I can't track down their key points. Well, real key points, and not a crocoduck arguement ("the world is 6,000 years old so carbon dating must be wrong!").

I was raised to believe that one cannot BBQ sober is true. Therefore the fact that one cannot BBQ sober is true. Debunk that!

As far as the topic I think Velocoraptors would have liked having us around because we are slow and crunchy.

Well, according to historical documentation, Velocoraptors were most likely purple and chased frisbees for the enjoyment of early man.

Wow. Wow. Scary link. Here's another nugget. Bold mines. Keep in mind this is actually an argument against evolution.

The new Creation Museum is definitely a source of education, regardless what the skeptics say. There is just as much evidence for creation, if not more, than evolution. The scientific community keeps changing the laws of evolution to fit within not only their own interpretations, but because newer scientific evidence continually proves how wrong they were. They have to change the story to fit the findings.

Anything to disprove the reality of an intelligent creator. To admit that there is an intelligent creator, would mean that they would be accountable for how they live their lives. That doesn't sit well with them. How is it that there is the appearance of billions of fossils which appear to have all died around the same time? Easy, a world wide flood. Why is it that there are no transitions fossils (fossils proving that animals have changed gradually over billions of years), or little so-called "transition fossils?" Easy, "And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good." Same for the sea creatures.


Why is it that there are still some animals around today that haven't changed with so-called evolution Turtles, alligators, crocs, elephants, and prehistoric fish, etc? Easy, they were created that way. Why does it appear that the climate is changing and shifting so rapidly? Easy, we are not billions/trillions years old, but mere thousands. Isaiah 51:6 "...the earth will wear out like a garment.." The earth and everything on it only make sense when you looks at it from God's point of view, and makes little sense at all from man's point of view. Evolution in itself takes faith to believe in as it all seems so ludicrous. What is fact one decade becomes disputed the next. Creation, on the other hand, does not change. Let the kids decide on their own what they would choose to believe. Anyone in the scientific community who takes it upon themselves to rise up against this museum, must be feeling very threatened by what they see.

Yes. Prehistoric elephants.

Joobz, that is a great clip from the Daily Show. Good find.

Regarding the museum, isn't is amazing that there is all this scientific evidence in favor of the Bible's creation story? And it is all displayed right there in animatronic diaramas. Meanwhile, the scientific community is busy wasting its time exploring data, forming logical hypotheses, testing falsifiable theories and publishing the results in peer reviewed journals. Morons.

Yes i agree, and they can vote too -You guys shure have a huge problem, unfortunately it is slowly creeping over the atlantic. Some Danish fundies have tried to get Darwin out of the biology lessons and replaced with creationis'm. Fortunately a huge huge majority still support reason but ......

found this link
http://itotd.com/articles/349/carbon-dating/
gives a decent summation into how it works. The problem is that when people refer to carbon dating of the world, they are really talking about several radiodecay measurement methods, each of which have pluses and minuses (as most analytical techniques).

However, if you are completely aware of your sample and what the catches are, it is a highly reliable source of information. It's the fact that scientists admit the limitations of their techniques that makes creationists think "A-ha, then it's wrong."
