Kentucky's Creationist Museum

That's right. There's a picture of Jesus watching the World Series with paps. The Cubs actually won that year. Noah's ark is there (in its entirety). The disciples are there to take pictures and sign autographs. You can't use the flash on your camera though, because they're too old to take that sort of thing. A flash could result in a heart attack. A chronological breakdown is shown throughout the museum, as it tells the story of how Columbus took a shuttle called the Mayflower intended for Mars, but instead bumped into this place called Heaven. Columbus was then said to have discovered Heaven, even though people had already resided in the place he and his Mayflower shuttle bumped into.

Okay, I'll get serious now, kind of. A creationist museum will be opening in Kentucky in 2007. In this museum, we get to see "the giant reptiles (dinosaurs) share the forest with Adam and Eve."

Museum founder Ken Ham said this in regard to his work of art, "It's education, but it's also doing it in an entertaining way."

But, those darn scientists have something to say about this "education" that Ham speaks of.

Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh (say that five times fast) said, "Genesis is not science. Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were." Yeah, but Santa Claus is science, right? The Easter Bunny is science. The tooth fairy is definitely science! I stayed up once to study and well, I guess it turned out to be my mom one time, my dad another, and my aunt another. They're just all over the place!

One John Morris, president of an organization in San Diego that promotes creationism believes that this museum will "affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life."

Then, humorously enough, he added, "Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish."

I don't know. I once thought I had gills. So, let me get this straight. Man is gullible to believe that we have evolved over time into what we are today. But, we are not gullible to believe that it all started with a guy by the name of Adam, a woman by the name of Eve who got down and dirty, expanding from two people to six billion (yeah, they got busy for a while there), that a carpenter was born from a woman who hadn't had sex, that he lived a perfect life and through his death on a cross, every person can be eternally saved if they believe in him? Gullible A or Gullible B? It's so hard to choose. Are there any other options to test our gullibility? Because the fish story and that Adam and Eve story I'm not buying. Maybe I should start my own museum, making fun of all the gullibility stories we've passed along to one another through the years. That'd be a fun one, humorous at least. Some may not find much humor it in, but hey, that's their problem, for being gullible, right John Morris? Right.
