The Creation Museum

Nope, I been too busy with Holocaust Denial, Area 51 Aliens, Bigfoot, Apollo moon landing fraud, George Bush engineered the 911 attacks, and building a submarine to search the Loch for Nessie.
Also my medication (when I take it) makes driving hazardous, and the authorities here in Big Bumfukk, Montana, are watching me carefully.
I haven’t been there yet, but the museum has been a long process for Ken Ham. The evolution theory has many holes in it. If you ever get a chance watch some of the debates between Kent Hovind and the academic elite you should. Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, and Mike Riddle, to name a few, simply point out the obvious logic behind creationism, and the evolutionist simply have no facts to back up their claims. The evolution model is simply built upon assumptions and downright lies.
Romans 1:28 ESV And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
I can make no promises - I would love to go to the Horse Park, too - but alas - with neither one of us working - food and gas come first. I do want to go and with this being summer - I might try to push someone here out the door with me.
That being said - there is a group that has been doing the same thing for a long time - I got the info from a bible study on Ft Knox - so that was in the 1990s - did the research and put out brouchures and books to both debunk the ‘science’ and also to show the biblical info (in other words, beyond And God created . . .) I want to say it was called [took a nano second to try the web, it is called] the Institute for Creation Research
http://www.icr.org/
(vaguely remember California0 - hey my memory doesn’t suckI was on their newsletter mail list for a number of years.
In Ann Coulter’s latest book - Godless - she does three chapters on the ‘theory’ of evolution. [Which of course I always found funny that she bashed abortion and evolution into the dust, but the libs went zonkers over her ‘enjoying their husbands deaths (or whatever it is exactly)’ line. - libs always whinning about a split nail when they are bleeding to death from a gunshot wound. . .
I think that the main purpose (of course) is to get and keep God out of everything - but I love the insanity of these people - they screed on and on about evolution but at the same time - you’ll catch them saying - I’m more evolved than that, I’ve heard that alot from women when you try to talk about natural bc, natural childbirth, breastfeeding and of course the ubber woman issue - abortion. [I always had a problem with how ‘being evolved’ justified supporting abortion - and of course they just looked at me like I was an utter moron - and never gave a response]
How about knocking down the theories of gravity and light?
I can think of nothing that has damaged Christianity as much as Creationism—not since Galileo. When the holes in our theories of Light, Gravity, and Allele Modification over Time are modified, it will be done by Real Science.
Most people have no real clue about what evolution theory postulates—it has nothing to say about the existence of God or the beginning of life. To me, it’s like arguing with an non-Christian who demands to see a video of Mary Magdeline raising Jesus and Judas from the dead. WTF?
What gets me is the magnitude of most liberal’s angst against the concept of a Creator, the idea that there was some kind of a push to get life started, in the face of so many ‘improbable’ coincidences that these liberals will grab and hold like straws when the chances of their happanstance is so small...take, for instance, that the ‘triple point of water’ (the temperature just above 32° where water exists as a solid, liquid and gas) is precisely determined by Earth’s positioning in orbit around the sun...fractionally off in either direction, astronomically speaking, and this triple point wouldn’t exist...and neither would life.
First there was nothing, then there was something, then we all evolved from a rock. I would like to know where all the transitional life forms are. The missing link as they say. We should have tons of evidence of this type of thing. From the evolution standpoint every dog, bird, bug, everything, should have some evidence on how they evolved.
If the moon is gradually pulling away from the earth, then how close to the earth was the moon millions and millions of years ago? Millions and millions of years ago is an impossibility. Why does population growth models support a 6,000 year old earth, but not an earth that is millions of years old.I had a conversation with an <looking down nose at me> agnostic who told me that creation science was not science. We agreed that science was the discoverey of truth. I asked him if it just happened to be true that God spoke known creation into existance around 7,000 years ago in six days, whould it not be good science to determine that? He said “No.” Apparently science to him is the study of truth only if the truth is what he wants it to be.
It is also interesting that, as a scientific theory, evolution is still taken seriously after every one of its great examples for the last 100 years has been discovered to be not just wrong, but an intentional fraud against the scientific community. (Haeckel, Pepper Moths, Archaeoraptor, Piltdown man, “vestigial” organs, Archaeopteryx) Any other theory with so many cases of intentional misinformation would have been thrown on the scientific trash heap long ago.
I don’t know much about the either subject. I do know it takes faith in a higher power to believe in Creationism and it takes the same or if not more faith in man’s genius to believe we evolved from apes. Neither is scientifically proven yet evolution is taught as proven science.
Never understood how some apes evolved into what is considered modern man and others remained apes. If evolution did indeed happen where are the ones that lag behind the curve.
Oh shit I answered my own question, they are Democrats.
Approximately 20,000 people visited the museum on its opening weekend. I talked to several folks who visited and they all thought it was wonderful. I live in Louisville and the local liberal rag “The Courier-Journal” ran several articles leading up to the opening and bemoaning the museum and questioning it science. The moonbats came out in-force on the CJ’s reader’s forum with literally thousands of comments suggesting that Ken Ham was a “liar” and christians, especially Kentuckians are buffoons for believing in Creationism. IMO if you believe “In the beginning God...” everything else is pretty simple.
My hope is that Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis continue to reach and teach those who deny the Creator.
Here’s an ally:
“The earth is flat. Whoever claims it is round is an atheist deserving of punishment.” Yousef M. Ibrahim, “Muslim Edicts take on New Force”, The New York Times, February 12, 1995, p. A-14.
Suidae,
Surprisingly times have changed. It is the academic elite who now believe the world to be flat. Secondly don’t make the mistake assuming that if a person claims a religion he somehow qualifies as an example of all religion. Religion in of itself also includes those that worship rocks, bugs, fish, trees, you name it. Biblical Christianity is the only way. Sadly the only exposure some folks have to Christianity is what is twisted by the media.
Romans 1:21-23 ESV For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.Mr. Christian - there are two local ‘free’ papers, mostly about local shows and resturants, but alas they do run ‘articles.’ The one is ok, the other is worthless - since they are free I use them both for the kitty box and garden walkways -
The worthless one ran an article on the Creation Museum - I knew it was going to be biased and slanted - I was appalled.
The Headline says it all ‘Ignorance is a form of Terrorism’; among those 4 or so interviewed:
1) Gene Kritsky: Professor at Mount St. Joseph College and adjunct curator at the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History. His biggest contribution to the conversation on the new museum - ‘eye candy’ (he said that the dinosaurs were eye candy to bring the kids in). . .
2) Lawrence Krauss: Professor of Physics at Case Western Reseve University. His biggest objection was what the museum might ‘foist’ on an unknowing public, especially children. . .
3) Edwin Kagin: Lawyer and American Atheists attorney. He believes to not question anyone’s religious beliefs, allows ‘stealth’ candidates to get onto school boards. And this gem, ‘they want to substitute mythology for knowledge.’ He is the one who contributed the ‘Ignorance is a form of Terrorism’ quote.Krauss also agreed with a Cincinnati Post op-ed that said the museum is bad ‘for business’ as Cincinnati is marketing itself as a hospitable home for a knowledge economy.
I shall try to go and actually see what it is like. Of course now it will be after I write a letter to this rag - for not even attempting to be objective. . .or anything even close to it.
