Jesus Christ.
I grew up in Cincinnati. It was a long, somewhat boring trip that landed me here in New Orleans. But had I known that enlightenment was just a short car ride away, perhaps I’d have never left. That’s right, in just under six days the Creation Museum is opening a couple hours’ drive West of Cincinnati out I-275. Had I only known.
I looked around a little and found out a little about them. first of all, here’s their site Please not the extensive presence of Dinosaurs on the page. I guess the gist of the whole $25 Million project is they’re a natural history museum, er, sort of. See they’re giving a creationist’s view of natural history. You’ll see the standard stuff like any other natural history museum….like Dinosaurs. Only, the creationists sort of ignore any information not explicitly found in the bible. So, using the bible as a guide, there are dinosaurs, uh, with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Nice. Also, I am to understand that there’s a fossil display from the Cretaceous period (I think that’s the period) in which human footprints are shown next to the fossils. And of course, the fossil record, contrary to any scientific proof, comes from the flood in Genesis. Except for the dinosaurs that were taken aboard the Ark, which died shortly after the flood. Wow. Just……wow.
But wait, there’s more, because there always has to be more. Turns out the Creation Museum is financed, sponsored, led, or otherwise affiliated with This piece of netardedness Now if you don’t have anything else to do for a few hours and need a good laugh, this shit is the best!! There’s audio and stories, educational tools….God! I got so worked up I just wanted to nail a Jew to a stick! (btw, that’s a Jesus joke, not a Jewish joke - you people should know me better than that by now.)
But hey, here are some highlights for those of you who don’t like fiction:
“Christians of course claim they do, in a sense, have a ‘time machine’. They have a book called the Bible which claims to be the Word of God who has always been there, and has revealed to us the major events of the past about which we need to know.”
Of course!
“Perhaps the most commonly used explanation is that God created light ‘on its way,’ so that Adam could see the stars immediately without having to wait years for the light from even the closest ones to reach the earth.”
HA HAAAAAAA!!!! I Love It!!
” According to the Bible: Dinosaurs first existed around 6,000 years ago.5-7 God made the dinosaurs, along with the other land animals, on Day Six of the Creation Week (Gen. 1:20-25, 31).8 Adam and Eve were also made on day six–so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people, not separated by eons of time. Dinosaurs could not have died out before people appeared, because dinosaurs had not previously existed, and death, bloodshed, disease and suffering are a result of Adam’s sin…Adam discovered dinosaurs first when he named the kinds of land animals God had created on the sixth day of Creation”
Like the Flintstones!!
Oh, mamma, I just can’t read any more. I’m forgetting how to conjugate verbs from reading all that self-righteous pseudo science. I really do love how they’re trying to disprove science on the grounds that its “theoretical” and “unproved” and therefore we should trust in the word of people who didn’t understand the amount of information the average five year old holds today. I mean, if you don’t understand where babies come from do you really have a chance in understanding the origin of life on the planet? Wait, you didn’t even know you were on a planet, or that it was round, or that you were orbiting the Sun, or that the moon was orbiting the earth….damn…they really didn’t know fuck all of anything did they!?! But one thing they did know was that God was telling them a story. How cute.
The very top picture is borrowed from God is for suckers and I would highly recommend it for all your anti-God commentary needs.

Amazing how we’ve gotten this far isn’t it? You should read “God is Not Great” by Christopher Hitchins. By the way, I completely believe that this museum is hurting children’s education more than helping it.
I figure taking kids to have them brainwashed at this kind of “museum” is only going to fuel, as they get older, a tremendous backlash of anger at their parents. And, to my mind, that will be a good thing. Possibly this will result, as these children get older and into positions of power, a societal shift that prevents this kind of hokum from ever, ever being seriously presented again.
I hope I’m still around to watch and laugh.
all these churchy posts have me looking for my rosary..
ya bunch of sinners!! lmao.. ;D
I’ve been meaning to pick up that book Paul. Just Haven’t managed to do that yet. Ive been too busy sinning. Yeah, that’s right, I admit it Termite. I’ve been I’ve been watching movies with Kevin Bacon in them, listening to music with drums in it, and have what I can only describe here as very, very unclean thoughts on a nearly continuous basis.
Given a chance I’d find another god (a small, gassy chiwawa maybe) and make her an idol and maybe name her God….then I’m going to steal my neighbor’s wife, covet her, sleep with her and lie about it.
I know that’s not breaking all the commandments but the one about keeping the Sabbath holy is just gibberish with no meaning and the other two I won’t break because its wrong - but not because they are commandments.
Happy Hump Day!!

You dork. That museum is in Northern Kentucky, need I say any more? Gov. Ernie Fletcher has to find some way of getting revenue to the good old state of Kentucky. There is much more there, I know that you just touched on one subject. Also, don’t worry it is so close to the “Ohio” river that someday, it will be under water. Only to be discovered later in life by some child who went there on a visit. It may be my daughter, my mother is thrilled to be taking her there this summer, those places exist because of urban spraw and all the people that never leave the “community” and create crap in their backyard.
It’s simple, we accepted other peoples gods
and if we liked the person threw their god in with our conglommerate
of the one God. We named God.
We invented God, therefore, God is a creation of Man.
God is the only way some people can deal with the awesomeness
of how small they actually are in the universe.
Too bad.
As far as we know hell is actually a volcano matrix.
heaven has always been above our heads.

In most ways we are ALL spiritual!! Even my nephew Jack!! Still being in the Cincinnati area…I think I will not visit this place! In agreement with Jack…yeah…turns my stomach!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I guess I just don’t believe there’s anything that can be learned from religion that can’t be learned in another way; so as a result, there’s nothing to be gained from religion in any real sense.
Spirituality, I guess, is more/less hard-wired in our brains and is little more than a chemical reaction. Still, whatever good comes from spirituality was completely destroyed by the institutionalizing of spirituality in the creation of religion.
There’s something necessarily abstract about spirituality in that you aren’t going to paint a portrait of it to be analyzed and critiqued. It is, and should be, an abstraction and something very, very personal.
In that sense, spirituality is basically no one else’s business because they wouldn’t understand it anyway. There’s no way they could because there’s no way to share it. There’s nothing tangible to show (i.e. a portrait) for anyone else to actually get.
Either that, or I’m drunk.
eh.
…or listening to those damn drums again..
Scary actually.
There’s a reason why people follow blindly with out asking questions.
Spanish Inquisition’s anybody?
Conquistadors?
Witch burnings, floatings?
Crusades?
Hhhhm….there’s a theme in here somewhere?
Yeah, blind absolute power.
There is no anti christ.
Spell devil and evil backwards-hmmm-made it all up to control the populace through fear who else is doing that at the time “This is our time now, down here……”
A faithful loyal companion walks by your side and protects your butt-no, it can’t be so simple, can it?

Hey Jack,
Just wanted to let you know that the Indy 500 is over here. Nothing but rain, rain here today and an ark is about to float down to NKY/Cincy with all the drunks from the 500 headed for the creation museum.
