Creation Muesum
RE: Creation Muesum
I'm reminded of the disgusting display of willful ignorance that was brought to us by the bloke that said he'd believe that 2+2=5 if it said so in the bible.

That's the danger in total submission to any authority. But even if the bible said that, and he claimed he believed 2+2=5, I'm sure that belief would disappear pretty quickly when I give him four pound coins and ask him to give me a fiver back.

I wouldn't put much past people who believe things on par with dinosaurs coexisting with and being ridden by people.

I can hear the complaints now - "but Cthulhu, I don't believe such nonsense". Maybe not, but if you support or defend Ken Ham and his fraud of a "museum", you're supporting or defending fraud and an enormous waste of human potential.

Fuck that.

They are The Flintstones  literalists. Fundamentalist Flinstonians.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

Wait... Are you claiming that The Flintstones wasn't a documentary?

All I'm saying is, "teach the controversy".

Sure, we take everything that we currently know about reality and compare it to the claims of the Christian creation story and it's hilariously void bank of evidence. 

Honestly, Hugster, it doesn't take an immense amount of common sense to call bullshit on ethereal wizards, talking animals and pure magic. None of those things exist now, nor have they ever been known to exist outside of tales of fiction.
*emphasis mine*
So it's your position that talking animals don't exist?

Quote:Research done by Dr. Irene Pepperberg indicates that parrots are capable of speaking in context and with intentional meaning. One of Pepperberg's parrots, Alex, an African grey parrot, demonstrated the ability to assemble words out of letters

Quote:Batyr (1969–1993), an elephant from Kazakhstan, was reported to have a vocabulary of more than 20 phrases. Recordings of Batyr saying "Batyr is good", "Batyr is hungry", and words such as "drink" and "give" were played on Kazakh state radio in 1980
