Hey the title of the place is "The creation Museum" I am simply calling it its name.
2007-05-24 06:14:13 · update #1
It's missing a few things. Like actual artifacts. Other than, it'll be a fun place. How can you go wrong with animatronics and computer generated visual effects? I have a cousin that's planning on taking his kids there. My kid didn't want to go when they invited him along. It's the whole lack of artifacts things. He wants to go the paleontology museum that the University of Kansas has. He wants to see real fossils and the casts made from real fossils. And there's supposed to be some kind of lecture from a KU paleontologist. He's pretty excited about it.

I think it would be cool to have an animatronic hand poking through a cloud (fog machine) and simulate the finger of God zapping things into creation Ex Nihilo-style. They could set up lazers along with fog and mirrors and use surround sound to really re-create an awesome effect. I'm sure that there would be no atheists leaving the building.

Anamatronic dinosaurs...right next to children (also anamtronic) playing....Brilliant!
If this isn't the most blatent, in your face refutation of the AIG creationist argument I don't know what is. No one, NO ONE is going to see T-Rex, just chilling and smiling eating leaves, and take this serious. The pure absurdity of YEC (Young Earth Creationism) couldn't be pointed out untill something like this came about. I think it's a great thing, as this will be the death of YEC.

My opinion is that they have every right to believe that and build a museum and demonstrate it. I personally do not believe in creationism and couldn't care less what the Creationists do...as long as they don't try to force their beliefs on others or children as "alternative science".

For myself, I don't need a museum for those purposes.
At one point, not long ago, I saw a bird on a lawn, and in that, I intuited the *essence* of life.
Life, in its essence, is a mysterious and inexplicable combination of order and freedom - it can be defined as something of an activity of an indeterminate type of freedom within a certain matrix of order - although to precisely define this type of order and freedom would be, I believe, impossible - but it was a valid (although incommunicable) intuition nonetheless.
It showed to me the utter nonsensicalness of Darwinianism, with its intrinsic basis in injustice (to man and animal), although evolution defined as gradual change with one species emerging from another is a very good hypothesis, as other paradigms of evolution exist besides Darwin's (but, of course, you never hear of them as some serious lack of objectivity is occuring in the mainstream scientific community, in our public schools, and in academia in general).
But what was also intuited was the need for a self-existing omnipotent agent to create such a thing (not considering, at that time, what means He may have used to bring it about).
God, in traditional theological circles, is defined Himself as Pure Infinite Life Itself - God is not merely alive, He *is* Life, and is the source of all other life that exists.

It is propaganda and not science. We had someone from the organization that is building it come to our campus to give a talk, and he was exposed as claiming to know things he didn't. I hope you won't fall for it.
Rather than make a long-winded answer, I have a lot of treatments of the group (the Discovery Institute) and the broader subjects of creationism, intelligent design, the Bible and evolution on my blog at http://blue.butler.edu/~jfmcgrat/blog/ You may also find my religion and science web page helpful at http://blue.butler.edu/~jfmcgrat/science/

Well, the scientologists could build a museum of Xenu if they want. Doesn't make it true. But there's a reason they didn't get ANY funding for this little funfair.

That's a hoot!
It will be the only museum / fantasy park dedicated to promoting myth as reality!
What exactly goes on in "Consumation" theatre?
Will they have a "forbidden fruit" snack bar?

Why don't you write a book about the "new creation"? Museum labor is expensive.

I think it's a step BACKWARD and am ashamed of anyone who is going to treat a creation myth as scientific truth.
