Is it an atheist conspiracy that not a single tax dollar went into the Creation Museum?

Question

What does it mean when the government doesn't want anything to do with your museum? While I'm burning to go and have a laugh, should we fund this nonsense?

we = potential visitors, momma. Focus!

Answer 1

The fact that even the current administration won't fund it tells volumes.

Answer 2

How can they hate someone so strongly they don't even believe in? It always amazes me at how much atheistic believers will go to suppress anything that will bring their beliefs into question. They have given up on scientific debates ( I have been to several) because they do so poorly and end-up looking foolish in the eyes of the general public. So they resort protests and hate speech. At the Creation Museum, I read their quotes and posters of the protesters and it shows me their ignorance and bigotry against God, Creation and those that believe that this world is by design. The most ridiculous was Ed Kagin and his ironically named "Free Inquiry Group" (F.I.G.) statements, "... is a form of child abuse and 'terrorism' that could plunge America into a new dark age."
Perhaps he would rather promulgate the notion to our children that we are products of chance & random processes and life has no purpose and no meaning, and that we are simply re-arranged pond scum with no more meaning that a blade of grass. Folks that in my opinion is a form of "child abuse". It it any wonder why children grow-up with a sense of hopelessness and fear. What F.I.G. fails to see and can't see because their anti-god philosophy will not consider that faith in a Creator God will provide hope and and foundation for our society. The Creation Museum should be a welcome site for true "Free Inquiry" into origins. I suggest, keep an open mind and check it out for yourself.

Answer 3

Not a fan of the idea of the creation museum...but, other tax dollars fund a lot of crap...look at the National Endowment for the Arts...some of their work is fantastic and educational...but, those funds have been abused by some to produce things that are pornographic in nature....

I'm not real thrilled about our tax dollars go out day after day to underserving people on welfare...I don't mind helping those who help themselves...at least temporarily...but, it shouldn't be a lifestyle...

In addition, not real happy that we provide corporate welfare in the tradition of bailouts for companies in financial straights.

Answer 4

You have got to be flipping kidding me, right acid? You're going to COMPLAIN that the government did NOT fund the Creation museum?
But I bet you and the other Atheists would be hopping mad if tax dollars had funded it, wouldn't you? Oh no wait a minute, that's right, you're not American. You don't pay our taxes. You don't go to our schools. You don't live here.
The Creation museum was funded completely by donation. Now you're going to whine about that? Please. I bet you don't whine about your government's funding of prostitution though, right? Yeah...

Answer 5

It must be a conspiracy. They are trying to keep non-science out of the public school science classroom, too. I don't understand why the government won't support a blatantly religious concept that has nothing to do with science or reality. Conspiracy!

Answer 6

i could be ecstatically satisfied if the creation museum have been not greater. i could have faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Why could God swallow a museum approximately his own Bible tale?)

Answer 7

Yeah, well, in the states we don't fund museums -- creation or not. :)

Answer 8

Wow. I think that must be the closest thing to a true "miracle" I've heard of yet. I would think that our fundamentalist president would be pumping millions into it.

Answer 9

Ay, I'd only go if I had someone to go there with that thinks fundies are just as ridiculous as I do.

Answer 10

Don't give them any money. But maybe we could open a science bookstore across the street.
