Ready for a Creation Museum expansion?

FundiesScience

Are you lining up for tickets for the dinosaurs-walked-the-earth-with-Man venue this summer? And they want to inflict this anti-science BS on other cities, with mini-versions in churches.

The group behind a museum that focuses on the biblical account of creation plans to expand the facility in Northern Kentucky over the next year, focusing on programs for children. Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham said that among additions to the Creation Museum will be kiosks aimed at kids and an outdoor playground.

The museum, which presents a literal interpretation of the Bible, has hosted more than 400,000 visitors since it opened last May. Officials hope to have 300,000 museum visitors in the next year.

Ham said the popularity of the museum in Petersburg—just south and west of Cincinnati—has brought requests from other religious groups that museums be built in their cities. He said there are no plans to do so. “Once you’ve done one, it’s easier to do another one,” museum co-founder and spokesman Mark Looy said. “But we just opened this a year ago, and we’re just learning how to operate it. Opening a second one is a dream way off in the distance.”

...In the meantime, Ham said the museum is consulting with churches throughout the country to build one-room displays that will serve as mini-Creation Museums.

Faggoty-Ass Faggot’s field trip to the Creation Museum

This is a howler. Brian (a.k.a. Faggoty-Ass Faggot) wrote me and said: “So, I decided to take a little homo tour of the new Creation Museum in Kentucky ... turns out they don’t like the gays. Shocking! Even the anti-gay displays had anti-gay graffiti on them, which I thought was especially Christian.”

Please surf over and check out the grand tour. I will share this tidbit…


I call this the “Hide Adam’s Cock” game. How about a fern?

”...focusing on programs for children.”

...‘cause once you’ve turned the kids into mindless, illogical, superstitious, religio-bots you’ve got an audience (and a voting block) for life!  Hoorah!...

They favor a literal interpretation of the bible?

I wasn’t aware that either ferns, bamboo, or maple trees (what that tree looks most like, to me) were mentioned in Genesis…

Mr. Ham? What an unfortunate name for a fundamentalist.

Was anybody laughing, that’s what I want to know.  I can’t imagine looking at all this stuff and keeping a straight face, but no one has mentioned any snickering amongst the spectators.  How is this possible?  In my mind I see a group where one person starts cracking up, and it spreads, until the whole group is falling-down helpless with hysterical laughter.  Would it spread to the rest of the patrons? Would they get kicked out?  Wouldn’t it be fun?

There’s already a similar program around Arkansas and surrounding states run by the Creation Truth Foundation. They basically run around with mounted dinosaur skeletons hawking their shit. I’ve gone several times for the lulz.

I’ve been to a lot of museums, and let me tell you that the Creation Museum is the most horridly designed museum ever.  It is all standing in line, seriously.  I guess they’re afraid that if people are allowed to walk around freely and independently, they’ll start to question the Bible.

Also, the planetarium isn’t round.  It’s kind of a crescent shape, so if you sit near the front, it’s really difficult to see anything behind you. 

No one designed that museum intelligently. . . hahaha.

Will Geoff “Boy who never had a real job” Davis funnel faith-based pork-barrel funding into his district to help this?

Maybe they wanted it to resemble a flat world?

“Maybe they wanted it to resemble a flat world?”

I wonder if they’re going to get the turtles right.  Nobody ever seems to depict the turtles correctly…

This is as goo a place as any for me to insert my periodic Creationism rant:

Creationism is a work of Satan, intended to 1) persuade scientists that Christianity is inherently anti-intellectual and 2) impair the ability of Christians to think logically.

Creationism says, in effect, “If the Sun is older than the Moon, then there is no God”.  This is a non-sequitur so irrational that it veritably reeks of Satan at his worst.

Science fiction writer John Scalzi promised to take a tour of the Creation Museum and write it up on his blog if his readers hit a certain amount in contributions for some cause or other.  Which we did of course.  His write up is here, and I recommend it highly.  John’s good with the snark.

Oh… OH MY GOD! What is that man doing to that poor little lamb???

Is Adam wearing glasses?

If I were a teenager, I would only go to this museum if I got to see some hot nekkid Adam & Eve action!

Oops! Fundamental mistake…hahaha:

Adam should not have a belly button.

I would like to have one of these museums in my neighborhood, though: Coney Island is just so far away when I’m in the mood for a freak show.
