Scientists Visit The Creationist Musuem, Laugh Themselves to tears
Its presents a literal interpretation of the Bible and argues that believing otherwise leads to moral relativism and the destruction of social values.
Creationism is a theory not supported by most mainstream Christian churches.
Lisa Park of the University of Akron cried at one point as she walked a hallway full of flashing images of war, famine and natural disasters which the museum blames on belief in evolution.
"I think it's very bad science and even worse theology -- and the theology is far more offensive to me," said Park, a professor of paleontology who is an elder in the Presbyterian Church.
"I think there's a lot of focus on fear, and I don't think that's a very Christian message... I find it a malicious manipulation of the public."
This article leaves me with some questions: How the hell did people stupid enough to believe the modern creationist message (the modern day flat earth theory) actually get $27 million to build their "museum". Second, how many of its 715,000 visitors were scientists going there to piss themselves? Third, if the T-Rex was vegetarian, why'd its need so many razor sharp teeth?
