Re: EPIC CLASH OF IDEOLOGIES!
“I hate that it exists,” said Jason D. Rosenhouse, a mathematician at James Madison University in Virginia and a blogger on evolution issues, “but given that it exists, you can have a good time here. They put on a very good show if you can handle the suspension of disbelief.”Oh man.Dr. Sato likened the museum to an amusement park. “I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Disneyland,” she said.
Did she enjoy Disneyland?
“Not very much,” she said.

I'd like to know myself, but being the fact that there are soooooooo many things we don't know about the universe, who says it's not possible?Originally posted by Chrono View PostI want to hear how God sped up the speed of light so that we could receive the light from stars millions of light-years away, don't you?Twothorp was in immense pain.

Re: EPIC CLASH OF IDEOLOGIES!
Just when you think they can't possibly pull anything else that utterly ridiculous out of their asses....Dr. Mortenson and others at the museum say they look at the same rocks and fossils as the visiting scientists, but because of different starting assumptions they arrive at different answers. For example, they say the biblical flood set off huge turmoil inside the Earth that broke apart the continents and pushed them to their current locations, not that the continents have moved over a few billion years.
What the hell? Creationism is stupid enough on its own given how many asinine assumptions must be made to begin with, but then they further complicate it by doing this? They mustn't have heard of Occam's razor, that's for DAMN sure!By the end of the visit, among the dinosaurs, Dr. Briggs seemed amused. “I like the fact the dinosaurs were in the ark,” he said. (About 50 kinds of dinosaurs were aboard Noah’s ark, the museum explains, but later went extinct for unknown reasons.)
And they have no sense of scale or anything even remotely resembling scientific knowledge. There are millions of species of organisms out there, and scientists continue to discover new ones every day. If the 6th chapter of Genesis is literal history then Noah was the greatest ****ing naturalist who ever lived! And he saved them all by putting them in a big ass box that just floated around for 40 days. And how damn big was that thing, it must have been huge, yet I've read that wooden vessels can't exceed about 500 ft or so of length because of the engineereing or something. And to think he somehow saved EVERYTHING not just in Europe, Africa, and Asia, but ALSO managed to reach the Americas and Australia and saved everything there too! And did so with just 1 mating pair of each species (or 7 in some accounts), where a viable breeding population requires hundreds of individuals! And he was only preserving part of the animal kingdom, he didn't bother with say, fish. And how did the Flood affect fresh and salt water aquatic orgainisms? And what about plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, etc? Some of that stuff can't survive underwater for 40 consecutive 24-hour periods. Is there even enough water in the whole world to cover the entire planet in 29,029 ft. of water at sea level, because that's how much you need to submerge Mt. Everest! If it rained non-stop on the entire world for 960 hours, would it even produce that much water? And speaking of plants and fungi, how did they survive the pressure from all that water!? How did they not come down with a very severe case of root rot?! And how did plants not die from sunlight not getting through all that water?! And where the hell did all that water go, did God just wave his hand and make it go away?! After all, we know damn well that the earth isn't a flat disk where the sky is held up by mountains at the ends of the earth, where rivers run into seas that run into vast underground reseviors that channel the water back up above the sky dome where it comes back down again as rain when doors in the dome open up! Enough water to cover the ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE EARTH could not have simply drained back into the oceans and settled or evaporated (ever see Waterworld?!)! Hell, where did all that water even come from in the first place, was it just Super Duper Magic Flood Water God just whipped up for the occasion and then got rid of it afterwards?!?! Arg!
Creationists are IDIOTS!!!!
Seriously, how can anyone with even the barest understanding of modern natural science view the Flood story as anything other than what it is, a myth?
No thanks. I have very little interest in voluntarily experiencing the stupidity of creationists.Originally posted by Denmo View Postcheck out the museum's website.Last edited by orius; 07-03-2009, 12:18 AM.

Re: EPIC CLASH OF IDEOLOGIES!
That was one of the best, most common-sense rants about a bible myth I've ever heard! It just goes to show their lack of scientific knowledge back when they were writing the bible.
If they've made a museum about the Christian's view that the universe was created by God, why don't they make a museum for, say, Scientology?
Or better yet, my view, which is that the universe created the Gods
If I were ever in the area, I think I'd go into the Creationist's museum just to be entertained.Currently playing-
Seiken Densetsu 3, Brain Lord, Terranigma (all SNES)
