The Creation Museum
-
Someone took these pictures at the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum. http://web.mit.edu/gjordan/www/creation/slides/_DSC2403.html This one is pretty funny. http://web.mit.edu/gjordan/www/creation/slides/_DSC2393.html
The mad thing about creationists is that they know nothing about the history of the bible. Ask them who wrote the first five books, and they'll tell you God. Ask them who put God's words to paper and they'll look at you blankly.
"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it." -Tina Farrell, a 23 year old thicky from Levenshulme, Manchester.

Didn't Moses write the Pentateuch, or at least, isn't he credited with doing so ? But yeah, you're probably right, most of the time.

Yes he is - and apart from receiving the 10 Commandments upon Mt. Sinai and being banned by God from ever visiting the Promised Land, there's no Biblical evidence that God imparted creationism or anything else.

Well, once can see how Genesis suggests creationism.

Funny indeed. What a fucking joke. Seriously, as I scientist, I should have the right to shoot these people on sight.

Yeah, ever since I heard about these places, it's bothered me tremendously that they can call them 'museums.'

It is commonly accepted that the ten commandments were the only words in the bible actually written by the hand of God. The rest were all written by men, guided by Gods hand (or something like that). I know of no Christians who don't understand that.
The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all.

These are some seriously misguided/delusional people but excellent fodder for piss taking.

Wow! So that's how Noah managed to fit those tens of millions of animals onto his tiny little boat. Many were only pony sized! Oh, so that's why people and dinosaurs have absolutely no evidence of existing together! Because we didn't die together! I assume then that we lived in perfect harmony? It's probably wrong about the crocodiles anyway - I bet somewhere, somehow, a crocodile had died not long after eating a human.

I have no idea why the Biggus Dickus-scene from Life of Brian just popped up in my mind. :~

I laughed so hard the first time I saw that. I could hardly see...

Life of Brian is one of the best comedy movies ever made. I wonder if there will ever be a team like Monty Python again...

Actually, according to the Bible Noah's ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. I would not call that a tiny little boat. All I have seen in this thread is straw man arguments and name calling.

Creationists are not worth engaging in a rational debate with, because they will modify their beliefs to fit around any evidence you give them, usually involving adding some magic act by God. For instance, most creationists will say that the reason that we can see stars farther away than 6000 light years is because God created the light on the way to earth, or if you ask where the flood waters went, they will say that God took them away. Trying to prove such things false would be like trying to prove there is not an invisible elf living in your back yard, or, to use the classic teapot example, to prove that there is not a tiny teapot orbiting the sun between Earth and Mars. It's futile.

Thank you for your rational response. You bring up a difficult point that I have often wondered about myself and is extremely difficult to answer. The following link discusses the question of light from distant stars from a creationist perspective http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/405.asp[^] I think the underlying question is what is the basis of truth. As a Christian, if there appears to be a conflict between what I believe the Bible teaches and scientific theories, I should examine both critically. Scientists have been wrong, and Bible interpreters have been wrong.

Having a PhD in theoretical physics, I am qualified to tell you that the "information" (and I use that term in quotes and in it's most loosest sense) in that link is total horseshit.
