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
LOL. Does this make any sense to anyone with a brain? Christians explaining science is like asking pedophiles to run a daycare.

So have the measurements of the ark expanded to accomodate all the new passengers? Next will be the redefinition of the "cubit."
We all know what happens when you have to tell one lie to cover up a lie... pretty soon there are so many lies, you get to call it a church!

properly, what do you anticipate from a creationist -funded museum? this is the human beings who spout and fund this nonsense who're the actual dinosaurs. Mr. and Mrs. Tyrannosaurus Rex might desire to have had a solid time munching on all those different creatures in that overcrowded Ark - Noah grow to be fortunate to stay to tell the story. yet i don't remember dinosaurs getting lots of a point out on the old testomony.

Ken Hamm, the idiot behind Answers in Genesis is behind this affront to rational thinkers everywhere.
It uses "gee whiz" technology, available because of guess what? .......Science......... to try and convince impressionable young people that science is wrong about creation. They are presenting religious dogma as if it were supported by science.
I am all in favour of building a native american creation museum across the street, and a Hindu version down the block. Lets make this place in Kentucky like a Branson for tacky religious "museums"

If you don't mind me saying so,you're an obstinate person.If you do mind me saying so,that's too bad.Do you think for one moment that there are no christian scientists?There are.Yes, I am a christian,that means that I follow Christ.He is my Saviour and my God.
But as to dinosaurs being on the Ark, I don't for one minute believe it. I've been seeing a lot of dinosaur revivals lately(so to speak)a lot of christians have begun to assert that dinosaurs were on the Ark.Why weren't they saying that ten years ago?If dinosaurs had been on the Ark,why don't we still have dinosaurs with us today? I think it's a ridiculous assumption,and that is the only thing that it can be called.(In my opinion.)

Yes I too am entertained by the vision of stegosaurus, triceratops, t-rex and the lot plodding up the gangway 2 by 2. However as for the crack about Christians and science I'm afraid that cannot be historically supported. I am hard pressed to think of a single one of the giants who made the Scientific Revolution -- Galileo, Copernicus, Descartes, Newton, Boyle etc. -- who did not take his religion very, very seriously. The notion of the history of science as a war between science and religion was made up in the 19th century.

Why is crudeness so quickly reached for by certain Christians when the subject at hand is atheism and atheists? Does it please your god--say, for example, Jesus, for you to act so un-Christ-like? The answer, in case it is foreign in your brain, is no.
In regard to T-Rex and all that, the answer is also no. Those critters had been extinct millions of years before humankind evolved from ape-like critters in Africa and stood upright--our ancestors. If the Ark...which is fiction and no more than that...was built as the Bible says it was, and if human beings came up from dirt at the time clergymen say we did, six thousand years and a scattering of months, then, sir, T-Rex and all that were long-gone, long-gone.

And this is different then UFO conferences how? Or the New Age gathering a decade or so ago for some end of the world meditation (can't remember what that one was called). It doesn't make sense to me, but I don't see how your comparison at the end of the question brings anything positive into the world either.

It's a sad example of the quality of American education and religious fanaticism. Every single exhibit in the place stands in utter defiance of real-world physics. The deliberate misrepresentations and outright lies in the exhibits are enough to invoke despair--because these clods are trying to pass off mythology as literal truth.
Here's hoping the place goes bankrupt.

Does the exhibit show Noah and the other animals chowing down on the dinosaurs, which is why they became extinct,???
I'd pay to see that!!!
