There is nothing new under the sun.

Personally, I think that the Theme Park approach to religious education is likely to teach kids there is a kinship between Noah and Mickey Mouse.

As for kids being confused when they go to school--44% of Americans take the Bible literally and their children are already confused.

This reminds me of an old, old Abuzz thread where we developed "Jesusland" and proposed attractions like...

The Stations of the Cross Bumper Cars..
The Garden of Eatin'...

... and other blasphemous ideas.

I read in the newspaper this morning that Roswell NM is trying to raise capital for an Alien Theme Park. The highlanders have been making money from Nessie for years.

It's okay to lie if you are Paul Simon singing The Boxer:
Lie la lie

Um....I think it's YOUR nit-wits that need to get this through their monkey brains. YOUR nit-wits created a creation museum with dinosaurs on the ark and claim the earth is only 6000 years old.

Don't put your brethren's idiocracy on US!

Trancredo is actually running . . . the mind boggles . . . i'm glad i haven't been paying close attention so far.

Kentucky is not the only site for these liars. I posted this in Wandel's Intelligent Design thread:

Canada's first museum of creation opens in Alberta

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Compared with the $27 million (13.6 million pounds) Creation Museum that just opened its doors in Kentucky, Canada's first museum dedicated to explaining geology, evolution and paleontology in biblical terms is a decidedly more modest affair.

The Big Valley Creation Science Museum, which opens next week, was built for C$300,000 in the village Big Valley, Alberta, population 308, a two-hour drive northeast of Calgary.


Source at Reuters UK.

I heard Harry Nibourg, the museum's owner, interviewed on CBC today. It was a hoot. He explained that there were dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, but that they were juveniles, and so they didn't eat much, and slept all the time. (That's important because Genesis Chapter 7 clearly states that God told Noah to load food for all the critters--but it just slays me that anyone would claim that a juvenile weighing 60 or 70 tons wouldn't eat much. Furthermore, they were allegedly at sea for a year--nevermind the fodder for the juvenile dinosaurs, who shoveled the **** ? ! ? ! ?)

Hilarity, of course, ensues . . .

Gasp!

Did it burn your fingers? :wink:
I burned a bible in a hotel room once.

And we wonder why American schoolchildren are falling so far behind in science.

Go ahead, world... laugh at us... we deserve it for letting this happen.

I think that "The Creation Museum" is gonna be caught on the horns of a dilemma.
If they claim that their exhibit is a "privately funded" science education exhibit and then claim tax exempt status as a "religious Organization" they have to expect that somewhere , someone will pose a lawsuit under the Kentucky education standards.

RIIIIIIGHT, I know now why they chose Kentucky.

hey guys it could be worse, Im from Kansas and we enshrine this crap in our education system. At least this time its Kentucky reassuring the rest of the world that yes, we truly did evolve from monkeys......some are just a little behind the curve.

I think it's safe to say that science education is superior in the U.S. at the graduate level.
But one thing that grabs my hems is the empahasis in lower education on arithmetic AT THE EXPENSE OF courses in the humanities and arts. The openness of mind required to appreciate evolutionary theory reflects not only the presence of bad science teaching but also the absence of humanistic/artistic intellectual stimulation in lower education.

A good thought I can wholly agree with.
