"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," he said.But apparently they're gullible enough to believe that Adam and Eve lived with dinosaurs. :duh

"If the Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that's our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there," museum founder Ken Ham saidThey start with the presupposition that the Bible is an historical account, then they bend the facts to fit their presupposition. :duh

It makes me wonder how in the world the people who are foolish enough to give their money to such an endeavor were smart enough to make their money in the first place.

"Visitors to the museum, a few miles from Cincinnati, will be able to watch the story of creation unfold in a 180-seat special-effects theater, see a 40-foot-tall recreation of a section of Noah's Ark and stare into the jaws of robotic dinosaurs.

"It's education, but it's also doing it in an entertaining way," Ham said."



Maybe they will start to use it in the temple!:slap: :rolleyes:

I'd prefer the Spielberg version, where a couple of dinosaurs gets agitated, crush the Ark, eat many of the pairs in there, terrorize Adam and Eve and make a mess in the Garden. I am sure Eden did not have huge dino dung heaps! :Crazy:

Now THAT is a creationist story I could live with.

These wackos are obviously terrorised by the power of CGA to make the dinosaur era come alive, and that if kids take science's version of events on board, that they will only laugh at the creationist version of events, so they have to access some of that tithing money to create their alternate version of early times, even if they have to concatenate 200 million years and some common early fables into one to pull it off.

Ham, an Australian native who started the Christian publishing company Answers in Genesis in the late 1970s, said the goal of his privately funded museum is to change minds and rebut the scientific point of view.
It's time's like this I am reluctant to admit I came from the same country as this guy :o.

It is staggering that these people think that reading the bible litterally will change peoples minds about science. Perhaps it will, but only emotionally needy gullible people who are willing to sacrifice their grip on reality to the extent necessary to accept a fragile tradition long past it's use by date.

"Genesis is not science," said Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. "Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were."
Well they got that bit right at least.... So now that we are in a generation that actually does know something about science, they propose that everyone pretends to be like the ancients... at least they could plead ignorance.
