Ken Ham is at it again! Now with added Dinosaurs!

[Theophrastus]

Yahoo News tells us that Ken Ham's Creationist museum will now feature an exhibit with Noah's Ark. Did we mention there would be dinosaurs on said ark?


That's right, despite the ridiculousness of the original ark claim, believing that one of every species of every animal in THE WORLD could be kept still on a boat without eating each other and burying the crew in s**t, he will now, as part of his nearly $30,000,000 museum (that's a million times thirty) state that dinosaurs were also present on the ark.

Makes me wonder where he fit those pokey unicorns.

I heard about this on ED. Thought dinosaurs were supposed to have been extinct by the time of Noah's Ark???

Well, you see, since the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs in the first place (but does mention Greek and Medieval European myths and gods) I guess they can just insert the dinos anywhere they wish.

I wonder if he's putting the unicorns in there. That would be fun. And, maybe a brontosaur couple if he lets his imagintation run more wild than before.

"But wait, wouldn't a T-Rex eat everything on board?"

"No, child, God domesticated it! When it misbehaves Noah hits it over the head with a folded newspaper and squirts it with a water bottle"  

[God of lunchboxes]

That doesn't make sense, because the layer of Earth that dinosaurs are in took at least sixty-million years to form. And the Earth from their point of view is only seven-thousand years old. That's three digits unaccounted for! And just so you know, according to the Super happy fun time book of bullshit, all annimals were vegitarians before the flood.

Reminds me of an Onion headline from a while back: "Creationist Museum Features 5,000 Year-Old T-Rex".

Ooh... this should prove to be entertaining.

*sigh* Do they just keep getting increasingly more stupid?

There is no they. It is just that some individuals are just getting increasingly arrogent in thier claims.

In my Christian home schooled upbringing, I learned many of the Creationist front's arguments against evolution.

Most often cited were the peppered moths (they believed that God foresaw the darkening of native trees as a result of the Industrial Revolution, and that he had pre-planned the dark or light coats of moths to correspond), the concept of circular logic (their example was "evolutionists say the fossils tell us how old the rocks are and the rocks tell us how old the fossils are" - an argument I've never seen used in my life), discrediting of abiogenesis as too complex and mocking examples of fictitious macro evolution.

Interestingly enough, the peppered moths have either code in their genes for dark or light patterns and follow them randomly. And they're migratory. And they also live in places with dark trees.

Creationists say "the Bible is right because God says so. God is right because the Bible says so."

Abiogenesis was too complex for Creationists to grasp, but to them the thought of an immensely complex God making an immensely complex universe with immensely complex inhabitants and then creating photons of light to appear as though they've been coasting through the universe for billions of years seems much more logical.

Recently dethroned poster boy for Creationism, Kent Hovind (link goes to site with facts rather damning to Hovind), had his art team make what he called a ridiculous half-whale half-dog morph that was supposed to show the absurdity of evolutionary theory. Ten years later (as discussed in Ken Miller's ID battle at atheistnation.net) a skeleton was discovered that matched almost exactly Mr. Hovind's image.

Intelligent Design, the new name for the old game of Creationism, is scientifically clueless, asserting claims that are almost 30 years out of date to support their shaky structure. They confuse geology and astronomy for biology and very few of them, with notable exception of Michael Behe, have any advanced scientific, zoological or biological training. Their supposed expertise is based on word of mouth and clumsy logical fallacies.

So to answer your question, dear Jessica, until Creationists start researching what their leaders say, yes, they will become more stupid.

Theo research is a sin.

I wasn't generalizing when I said "they". When I said they, I meant the people whom you described.

YES!!!11!!!11!!!1 heart

I was working on CNN Headline news at work today, and I came across an article about that. I shared it with my co-workers. We all found the website and LOLed.

You'd think Answers In Genesis would have maybe, being good Christians, used the millions of dollars that went into that museum to feed the hungry instead. You'd think. But, hey, who's really surprised.

Good point. The Vatican itself has more gold than Mr. T, and WE'RE supposed to be the ones feeding the hungry? You guys are tax-exempt, YOU feed the hungry with that extra cash.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to donate to a charity cause more often than I do (putting change into those cancer walk-a-thon buckets), but I have my own hungry a** to think about.
