The faithful flock to Creation Museum
By Chris Kenning • The Courier-Journal • June 13, 2009

PETERSBURG - A school bus hissed to a stop near a giant concrete dinosaur perched outside the Creation Museum, a $27 million, 70,000-square-foot natural history museum-meets-biblical theme park....

....Inside, the students learned from displays that, contrary to mainstream textbooks, science supports the Bible's accounts of the Earth's creation in six days; that the Grand Canyon was created suddenly in Noah's flood; that dinosaurs and humans lived together; and that animal poison did not exist before Adam's original sin....

....Two years after its controversial opening, the Creation Museum has drawn 720,000 visitors, far more than the 250,000 annually organizers predicted. It brought in $7 million in receipts last fiscal year, with organizers saying it has had an economic impact of more than $20 million....

...."Science tries to discredit God," said Della Davidson, a parent accompanying Westside's field trip with her 12-year-old daughter, Kyla. The museum "shows how God can discredit science."

5. Confounding and stupid as all get out.

Unfuckingbelievable. Refuting proven science to believe a story about magical and ubiquitously hardworking sky ghosts, females created from loose ribs and "Jesus Horses", and these assrockets get millions for it.

Religion is probably useful if it makes you feel better inside, but when it makes you and your children into babbling sub-idiots and that whole effect multiplies like Hogweed, best to just step away from the cross-pipe.

6. It never ceases to amaze me that there are people who want ...

... to raise their children to be this gullible. Don't they understand the downside?

7. You are talking about people who themselves are that gullible

8. I look at it this way

Galeleo was convicted of heresy for presenting evidence of a heliocentric solar system.

9. "Several public schools have made the trip, museum officials said, declining to identify them."

If you're happy in your ignorance clap your hands!

Scary & depressing
