Photos from the Creation Museum...

And here you go, the images that I took at the Creation Museum. Animala may share some photos with me, and they could go up later. I already posted my audio collage of my visit and a conversation with Animala after the tour.

The tour begins with a number of false dichotomies, wherein all knowledge is divided between "human reason" (including science, experiment and the scientific method) and "God's Word."

Now, while you might think that this is infantile, you're right, it totally is. But not only is their science bad, but let's say that the Bible was dictated by God to the prophets--then their theology sucks too! According to this formulation of the "truth," humans can't even recognize what is factually correct without the Bible, including whether or not they are hungry. And look at that last sentence...Does anyone else detect an overgeneralization walking toward us with undeserved confidence?

Of course, they make it clear throughout that this particular brand of idiot Christian is being persecuted (no, just being identified as idiots) and the Word of God (gasp) criticized(!?!) for espousing total crap like genocide, slavery and other fun stuff that we are better off without.

The worst thing that we saw was a display that suggests that black people are cursed. Notice this illustration of post-Babel dispersion:


Look where the decedents of Ham, who are cursed for seeing Noah's nakedness, are going:

Guess who lives in Africa? Black people. Therefore: black people carry the curse of Ham in their pigmentation. This, of course, was used as a biblical rationalization for chattel slavery of black Africans for generations, and the Creation Museum, right across town from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, continues to perpetuate this unsubstantiated, non-biblical and racist heritage. You make me vomit, Ken Ham. I wish there were a hell; you would sure be in it. And you have the balls to sell "Darwin's Plantation" in the bookstore? You are beneath contempt, you nauseating hypocrite.

Of course, there is no doubt who the Creation Museum targets--kids. The dinosaurs are a lure. Kids love big scary monsters, and the museum gives it to them in droves.

You only need to listen to the background of my podcast to hear how many hundreds of children were there. And what are they teaching them? Blatant falsehoods:


No person with a passing understanding of archaeology could possibly mistake the Bible for a history book. The book is full of out-and-out contradictions, falsehoods, and talking fucking snakes. Talking snakes, assholes. Where is that in the archaeological record?

After the fall, man said, "Let their be graffiti. And he saw
it was bad, and he said, 'Whatever.'" Seriously, this is
what they use to symbolize the fallen modern
world--a sort of fake dirty alley.

Osama bin Laden gives us a copy of the Torah, while Mel Brooks brings us the
15 commandments.

For that matter, where are the Mesopotamian Penguins in the archaeological record? Idiots.


I went home with you?!

And we did WHAT?!


If you look in the pool, you will see that people have
been flicking pennies at Eve's ass. I'm not joking.



Here you go. The shittiest picture ever taken.

These bozos call this an egg and then dare criticize the Lucy find for being incomplete? Pick and choose much?

I ask you: What "farm animal activities" are Christians participating in? Are they like reindeer games?

Near the end of the tour, as I waited 90 seconds for this photo
to be emailed to myself, I heard two adult Christians say
they wanted to ride the dinosaur. And yet they yelled
at PZ for doing it. Also, it has a fucking saddle. A fucking saddle.
Don't tell me it's "just for kids," you disingenuous ass, Ken Ham.

Beowulf will kill you if you do not buy shit from Ken Ham.

OH SHIT! SAVE US, BEOWULF!! IT'S GRENDEL!! Or at least it is according to Bill Cooper, whose crappy book the CM sells in the bookstore. That reminds me--they also are selling Ray Comfort's Origin, which I remember being handed out a few weeks ago. What they'll give to atheists, Ken sells to Christians. Tell me this is NOT a scam.

And they are selling the completely useless Jonathan Park Cult
Adventure Series. (For my review of an episode, listen to my previous podcast.)

There you have it. The worst "museum" ever. It is not evangelical in the least: it is clearly designed for those people who already believe. It is a feeble scam perpetrated against Christians.
