The controversial Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., marked its second anniversary this past week with slightly lower numbers than its first year but with much excitement.
“We enter our third year excited about the growing opportunities the museum provides for reaching people with the creation gospel message,” commented Ken Ham, the founder and president of the 70,000-square foot museum.
“We believe God is using us to make a difference in our post-Christian culture, and we will continue to do everything we can to help believers defend the Word of God, from the very first verse,” he added.
When the museum first opened to the public on May 28, 2007, it drew a great deal of media exposure, largely because of its literal interpretation of the Bible. Packed with high-tech exhibits that include animatronic dinosaurs and a huge wooden ark, the $27-million museum attempts to align the Bible’s literal account of creation with natural history. The museum’s staff and founder, like many other Young Earth creationists, believe dinosaurs appeared on the same day God created other land animals

My mistake — this is religion.
I retract my prior statement.
Your attack on me can stand or not on its own merits.
>>Understandable. Opinions come cheap when you don’t have a clue as to what you’re talking about.
I respectfully ask you what you are talking about.
Science and the scientific method has quite a basis in fact. TToE has billions of data points and millions of adherents.
Which of these do you think I am misstating?
The same folks who think that an allegorical reading of Genesis would make God a (gasp!) liar, have no problem thinking God otherwise sprinkled false clues of an older earth just to fool us.
Looks like the headline was true. Better preen your feathers they look just a tad ruffled.
I wasn’t attacking you personally. I merely pointed out that my list is all opposed to the Temple of Darwin’s Evo-religion.
I live about an hour and a half from the museum, and find myself passing it for some reason or other about twice a year. At those times, I say to self that I’m gonna visit some day.
The Good Lord willin’.
>>Looks like the headline was true. Better preen your feathers they look just a tad ruffled.<<
More than 50% pf Americans voted for the obomanation. So what do numbers really mean?
>>I wasn’t attacking you personally. I merely pointed out that my list is all opposed to the Temple of Darwin’s Evo-religion.<<
You most certainly were. But you get your usual bye and everyone else can make their own call on what happened.
I don’t get it, do you expect everyone to genuflect towards the Temple of Darwin just because you are passionate about your Evo-religion? Except for public schools, universities, government research centers, and various other taxpayer funded Darwin indocrination centers, Americans are entitled to their own opinions!
My post had nothing to do with numbers or politics so here's a metaphorical bunny with a pancake on his head.
I merely pointed out the fact that your feathers seemed ruffled re the headline.
By your response it seems you left some preening undone.
Actually it’s the two-year anniversary. I went the weekend after it opened in 2007.
>>I don’t get it, do you expect everyone to genuflect towards the Temple of Darwin just because you are passionate about your Evo-religion?
No, I hope people will understand and apply scientific principle towards all matters pertaining thereto.
>>Except for public schools, universities, government research centers, and various other taxpayer funded Darwin indocrination centers, Americans are entitled to their own opinions!<<
Yes — funding of science is a terrible idea and has only resulted in things like mapping the genome, seeing billions of years into the past and providing great curatives like Metformin and Glumipride. Bad, BAD, scientists! How DARE you apply scientific methods to problems when there are people who don’t understand science with other opinions! BAD BAD Scientists!!
>>By your response it seems you left some preening undone.
I always have a problem leftover from my childhood. My butt-feathers always need preening.
I should thank you...
“This is religion — you shan’t be hearing from me again.”
“This is the religion forum.
Please do not use personal attacks.
I am already edging, so will desist from here on out.”
Just can’t stay away, can you. Truth in advertising, please.
I’m for returning science to the private sector where it belongs. That way the free market can determine how many scientists we actually need. This would also serve to break the stranglehold over the ideology of science currently being exercised by the taxpayer-funded, judicially protected, jackbooted thugs over at the religiously motivated Temple of Darwin.
You’re welcome. While you’re back there nibble off what the toilet paper missed. You still look a bit ruffled there.
You can’t expect these guys to use logic.
Please take me off this ping list. Thanks!
