A day without Ken Ham is like a day without kitten smashing...

...Very nice indeed.

Anyway, the person Australia apparently traded the US for Meryl Dorey, Ken Ham, founder and cult-leader of Answers in Genesis, made milk shoot out of my nose when he started clucking indignantly about the Smithsonian's new origins exhibit.

It's called: Smithsonian Exhibition--Deception and Atheism. And it fails as memorably as it does predictably.

The National Museum of Natural History, funded by donations and tax money, recently opened its new exhibition on human origins. The NMNH in Washington D.C. is one of the famed Smithsonian Museums.

Let us remember that it is also staffed by many highly qualified scientists at the top of their field, that they offer incomparable expertise and experience in public education, and that they have all the cool toys to show off. Go on.

To build this exhibition, called the Hall of Human Origins, the Smithsonian spent almost as much money as we did to build the entire 70,000 square-foot, high-tech Creation Museum near Cincinnati!

Dude, your museum is shit. It has nothing. It has posters. It has a kind of old, but not all that old, Torah that made it through the Holocaust and which you don't own. It has your stamp collection. It has your dad's Bible, for some reason. Most of the items that you "have", in the museum sense of the word, are on loan. Oh, did I mention the posters? You have dioramas and posters. And a clientèle who clearly has never been to a good museum. You don't have objects that illustrate your point. Oh, and it is staffed by family members, volunteers and unpublishable scientist-impersonators.

The purpose of this exhibit on the origin of man is not only to indoctrinate children and adults in evolution, but also atheism!

HAHAH! Sorry. You somehow peered into their hearts. Stop that. And you don't get to use the word indoctrinate without getting laughed at. Your wacky creation wonderland was in every way the embodiment of cult indoctrination: the same message repeated over and over and over and over and over and over, sensory overload and the dulling of thought. It's the hallmark of indoctrination.

In a CNSNews report, with a headline that included the words Devoid of References to God, we read the following about the new exhibit:

Why are you reporting on the headline of a conservative media outlet? That's clearly hearsay based on an admittedly biased source.

The stages of human development also are highlighted, but visitors will not find any references to God, creationism, or pre-natal existence. The exhibit’s Web site says fossils “provide evidence that modern humans evolved from earlier humans.”

It's not an abortion exhibit, fuckwipe. And check this shit out. They actually illustrate their points with SHIT THEY OWN, like a real museum does.

The report continues:

. . . Richard Potts, curator and director of the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program, said the Smithsonian Institution has a “deep commitment to the study of evolution” and that the new permanent exhibit will answer “profound questions” about human origins.

When asked by CNSNews.com why the exhibit does not include any reference to God or address the debate—even in scientific circles—about Darwinian evolution, Potts replied that the Natural History Museum ‘is a science museum, and all the objects that a museum can possibly display about the origins of humans have been uncovered in the context of doing the science of evolution.’

Oh, god, here it comes. 1) There really is no debate, only debate among non-practicing non-specialists. To suggest otherwise would be dishonest. 2) God was repeated invited to contribute an exhibit, but he didn't respond. :)

Note two very telling admissions here:

Regarding his quote “. . . all the objects that a museum can possibly display about the origins of humans have been uncovered . . .” well, that is simply not true. “All” that can be “possibly displayed”? What about the Bible’s account of human origins? The Bible is a document that claims to be the Word of the Creator concerning how humans came to be on this planet.

Why won’t Potts and his researchers include that? Well, they have arbitrarily defined science (which means “knowledge”) as having nothing to do with God. They will only allow explanations according to their view of naturalism, the religion of atheism.

Oh, shut up, retard. His statement takes care of the "possibly displayed" question if you realize that the Bible cannot possibly account for the origins of the world. You dill-weed. And it's not an arbitrary derived definition of science. It's the same definition that put a man on the moon, gave us internet porn and all of the other great benefits of modern society.

Lastly, don't try to use a fairly archaic definition of the word to change the topic, you soft-shelled turd taco supreme.

It becomes even clearer in the second admission:

. . . in the context of doing the science of evolution.

Evolution, in the Darwinian sense (using naturalism and no supernaturalism), is their bottom-line presupposition. It’s used to interpret the evidence of the fossils they display as they attempt to reconstruct the unobservable past.

And of course, it is not that simple. Unobservable as it happened? Yes. Un-know-about-able? Hell, no. The "supernatural" is not science.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Potts was asked whether creationism would be found in the Hall of Human Origins. He replied: “There’s no Adam and Eve here.” He continued: “If you believe that the world—and man—was created in seven days, and that it’s only thousands of years old, you might have a little problem with an exhibition that talks about a process of 6 million to 8 million years.”

And was he wrong about this, oh Exhibit A?

Later in the Post article, when asked what he hopes visitors will take away from the exhibition, Potts replied: “A sense of the sacred.” That almost sounds as if he wants the hall to be a kind of a temple, where visitors can be worshipful of the fossils of their apelike ancestors!

You need not a deity to have a sense of the numinous, of the profound implications of evolutionary science or of a more informed perspective about our origins and place in the universe.

The American public has largely been duped into thinking that by not mentioning God or the Bible, something like the Smithsonian is being “neutral.” But there is no neutral position; one is either for Christ or against (Luke 11:23). This museum is imposing a religion on generations of Americans: the religion of atheism. It’s the same worldview that is being thrust at generations of children in the public schools.

You are a conspiracy theorist, positing global agendas and deception because you are marginalized. Classic conspiracist thought.

And don't say thrust!

One of the methods used to impose an atheistic religion on children is deception. For instance, in the educator guide for grades 5–12 that was designed to help reinforce the evolutionary teachings of the Smithsonian’s human origins exhibit, there is a list of so-called “Misconceptions About Evolution.” Under one of them, it states: “humans were definitely not the last organism to evolve. Numerous other species have evolved since the onset of human evolution.”

The word evolution is not defined. In the first instance, evolution is being used in the molecules-to-man sense, with eventually ape-like creatures evolving into humans.

No difference exists. The mechanism is the same.

Now, when the museum states: “Numerous other species have evolved since the onset of human evolution,” the word evolution is being used in the sense of change that relates to speciation. Indeed, certain new “species” have formed in recent times (e.g., various species of fish), but speciation occurring within a “family” or “kind” is very different than one kind of creature evolving into a totally different one.

Oh, I see the problem. The word "kind" is not scientific term.

Unsuspecting students and adults don’t know the difference, and so they are led to believe by the museum that speciation (change within a kind) is evolution, and thus molecules-to-man is true!

You don't make sense. You are making up imaginary categories that don't do anything to advance your cause, you failure of a man.

On our website, we have many articles that reveal how speciation and natural selection are actually observed. But when understood at the genetic level, this is solid evidence against molecules-to-man evolution!

So, here we have tens of millions of dollars (including your tax money) that have been spent on deception and ultimately to promote the religion of atheism! We pray that with God’s blessing, our Creation Museum and other outreaches will continue to help undo the terrible damage done to the hearts and minds (with eternal consequences) of countless children and adults.

It's true, the whole natural world screams at you to go to hell, Ken.
