New Museum for the Creationists...
& assorted other fossils that have been found...and some Flood to create the Grand Canyon.  New Museum Says Dinosaurs Were On Noah's Ark By Andrea Hopkins Like many modern museums, the newest U.S. tourist attraction includes some awesome exhibits -- roaring dinosaurs and a life-sized ship. But only at the Creation Museum in Kentucky do the dinosaurs sail on the ship -- Noah's Ark, to be precise. The Christian creators of the sprawling museum, unveiled on Saturday, hope to draw as many as half a million people each year to their state-of-the-art project, which depicts the Bible's first book, Genesis, as literal truth. While the $27 million museum near Cincinnati has drawn snickers from media and condemnation from U.S. scientists, those who believe God created the heavens and the Earth in six days about 6,000 years ago say their views are finally being represented. "What we've done here is to give people an opportunity to hear information that is not readily available ... to challenge them that really you can believe the Bible's history," said Ken Ham, president of the group Answers in Genesis that founded the museum. Here exhibits show the Grand Canyon took just days to form during Noah's flood, dinosaurs coexisted with humans and had a place on Noah's Ark, and Cain married his sister to people the earth, among other Biblical wonders. Scientists, secularists and moderate Christians have pledged to protest the museum's public opening on Monday. An airplane trailing a "Thou Shalt Not Lie" banner buzzed overhead during the museum's opening news conference. Opponents argue that children who see the exhibits will be confused when they learn in school that the universe is 14 billion years old rather than 6,000. "Teachers don't deserve a student coming into class saying 'Gee Mrs. Brown, I went to this fancy museum and it said you're teaching me a lie,"' Dr. Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, told reporters before the museum opened. A Gallup poll last year showed almost half of Americans believe that humans did not evolve but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years. Three of 10 Republican presidential candidates said in a recent debate that they did not believe in evolution. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070526/us_nm/usa_museum_dc

As I've said in another post recently, it's a wonder that some people believe that the world is round.
 I wonder what species got the spot on the ship next to tyrannosaurus rex.

If there is a god, then he is laughing to himself that there are people who believe that the world is 6,000 years old.  That I am sure of.

That would've been one tough dude.

OMG. "literal truth"...wow...I wonder where the truth stops, do we take everything word for word then? So you can't work on Sunday and you can stone your children. I love selective religion, it is SO cool.

 There's the explanation for why the dinoasaurs died out! Just couldn't wrangle two of each!via carrier pigeon- To: Noah. From: Jacob and Isaac, Creature Catchers, Inc. Message: We regret to inform you that we could only secure you one Tyrannosaurus Rex. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we will not expect the other half of the agreed upon 40 acres of pomegranate orchard and oxcart full of frankincense. P.S., one of our employees is missing a ring and a gold watch. Please monitor the T-Rex closely and you should find it once the beast defacates. The watch and ring should be found intact, as he was swallowed whole during capture.
