  • No use to discuss or argue

    After living in rural Texas for a while, it finally dawned on me that you can't discuss Creation or evolution with hard core believers, such as those who funded, built, and manage this facility. You are arguing from a position that requires your viewpoints to be backed up with facts and logic. They are standing on a position of pure faith.

    When my neighbors would preach to me or tell me I was going to burn in Hell for my support of evolution, I'd smile at them and say that wasn't it nice that people with different view points could peacefully live side by side in our country. Any other response was a waste of my breath.

  • And who created Darwin?

    Carnivores were feeding on what? Was not the Fauna part of the "created life". And who says that Adam and Eve were white? Where did, for instance, the natives of Australia come from? And all that only a little more than 6000 years ago? What a joke. Typical religious (and racist) bullshit.

  • Think of the children!

    See any future chemists, microbiologists, environmental engineers or geologists (just to name a few relevent fields) wandering through this "museum"?

    Neither do I.

  • laugh... cry...

    If our fellow Americans weren’t so dangerous one could just sit back and laugh.

    There are many historical anecdotes… that very few took Hitler and the Nazi party seriously when they first came to power.

    Blind fascist faith on display here…

    Reminds me of the PT Barnum museum… EXIT… reality.

    A sucker born every minute…

    The difference is… they want us all to become suckers…

    No thanks… send me to hell please… first class.

  • We need the Creation Museum more than ever before...

    And Now Virgina Tech, who is next?

    When I first heard of the April 20, 1999 massacre in Littleton,

    Colorado, my reaction was shock, horror, and grief -- grief over the

    lives lost, grief at the suffering of the families, and grief over

    what has happened to our country. Why is this happening?

    An Oregon school fell victim to a murderer who with intent, went

    into the school to slaughter fellow students. October of 1998, a 16-

    year-old in Pearl, Mississippi killed his mother then shot 9

    students, killing two of them. December of 1998, a 14-year-old boy

    killed 3 students in Paducah, KY, wounding others in a student-led

    prayer meeting. The "experts" consoled us that this is a rare event.

    Once is an "instance," twice would be a "co-instance," three or more

    establishes a "pattern." A 15-year-old girl was hanged and pummeled

    by fellow students, because they feared she was going to "snitch" on

    them.

    In Springfield, OR, a 15-year-old murders his parents in their home,

    then turns his weapons on students in his school, killing one,

    critically injuring others as "he just mowed 'em down." Strangely, a

    scene in Terminator II, may shed some light on "Why is this

    happening?"

    The Terminator was about to kill a man who was simply trying to help

    the young John Conner. The Terminator was stopped by John Conner and

    ordered, by Conner, not to "kill" people. The Terminator

    replied, "Why?" And Conner insisted, "You just can't go around

    killing people!" Again the Terminator asked, "Why?" Conner in

    frustration said, "You just can't...!" Conner answered with no

    foundational absolutes, which means he was only expressing his

    opinion. "Why not murder?" is equally a valid question in a society

    with no absolutes.

    Our nation's schools have been emancipated from absolute standards

    by ignoring our Creator God. Our youth are taught that we, by

    chance, evolved from primordial soup. They are simply re-arranged

    pond scum, with no real worth to the world, no purpose, no hope, and

    no meaning what-so-ever! Is it any wonder that suicide is one of the

    leading causes of death among teens? Our youth are acting

    consistently with what they have been taught.

    According to the Evolution belief system, human life has no more

    meaning than a blade of grass. We mow our lawns, so why not mow down

    our fellow man -- what's the difference? Hitler applied the same

    evolutionary logic to the people of Europe. We rid our homes of

    unwanted vermin, why not rid the world of unwanted humans -- what's

    the difference? This atheistic/evolutionary philosophy of our day is

    the logical foundation and justification for this "cruel" behavior

    because there are no moral absolutes.

    What is the solution? What can we do? We must expose evolution as

    the pseudo-science it is, teaching our children that they are not a

    conglomeration of random chance accidents, but rather are created in

    the very image of God. Then we must teach our children that there

    are moral standards we abide by set by our Creator God.

  • Questioning Evolution: at the Creation Museum

    It is hysterical that the humanist/skeptic group that calls

    themselves "FREE INQUIRY" are actually against "FREE INQUIRY".

    The Creation Museum actually presents both views and and lets the

    visitors judge and weigh the evidence themselves. The Creation Museum

    should be supported by the "FREE INQUIRY" groups. I don't expect it

    anytime soon, because their bias and assumptions will not allow that

    to happen because they are against questioning Evolution. Why,

    Because if people are given the evidence that puts evolution in a bad

    light, they may not believe it... and that is against their religion.

    Why do they even care if people believe in God or not? What does it

    matter to them. They reject the idea that there could even be a

    Creator God. What do they fear? Perhaps they fear, being exposed as

    fools?

  • I believe in evolution...

    except for the whole Triassic period.

    Leave it to The Onion:

  • love the terminator quote

    you're doing a fantastic parody of creationist inability to distinguish fact from fantasy.

  • UHH -- WHERE DID ALL THAT WATER GO?

    All that water -- the water that fell in 40 days -- that covered the earth from the bottom of Death Valley to the top of Mt. Everest -- where did it go when it drained away, leaving behind such spectacles as the Grand Canyon. Just asking.

  • the entire thing gives me the willies
