On the eighth day

On the eighth day god created the Creation Museum in Kentucky. This has long been one of my favorite places to bash for it's complete lack of worth to humanity. The version of history that they teach there flies in the face of every sane person and I firmly believe that their patrons should be tagged before being released back into the wild. These people are far too dangerous to be allowed to wonder among us unsupervised.

What triggered my slumbering hatred for religious ignorance was this great story in the New York Times. It seems that there was a Paleontological Convention at the nearby University of Cincinnati and some of the attendees thought it would be a real hoot to visit the nearby center for creationist history. Among this group were scientists from around the world and most were shocked with the ideals presented by the museum.

I love the defense that is put forth by the "scientific experts" that designed the museum. They are generally treated like lepers within the scientific community for their inane "young Earth" theory that the world is only 6000 years old. Ignoring hundreds of years of geological research and observation about things like volcanism,sedimentary deposition and the fossil record. And don't get them started on modern witchcraft like carbon dating, those are just god's way of testing your faith after all. They always use the same argument, you can't understand our position because you don't believe. You believe that an invisible man in the sky created the entire universe in six days....of course I don't believe you, you're obviously an idiot.
