Anti-Science Museum Set To Open
2007-03-29 13:25:00 The Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky, a $27 million religious showcase is scheduled to open it's doors on Memorial Day this year. The "museum" (quotes are appropriate every time I mention this place but will get annoying so implied quotes for the rest of this post please) is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible: The world was created in six, 24-hour days, some time between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago. Humans appeared on day 6, and they didn't evolve from nothing. The museum explains that there were dinosaurs of every kind aboard Noah's ark and some dinos even managed to hang around until just a few hundred years ago. Wait, Noah's arc? These people have obviously not seen Jurassic Park II - The Lost World because if they had, they would know that when you put a dinosaur on a boat, pandemonium ensues! Some other great facts you'll learn while making your pilgrimage to KY: Tyrannosaurus Rex was a strict vegetarian and lived with Adam an...
