Fundies have a persecution complex. If they aren’t being persecuted (or perceiving that they are), then they just aren’t happy.

Personally, if I was a fundie, I’d be excited about how science is discovering “how” god created everything. But they aren’t satisfied unless it’s all just magic and supernatural.

Because we all know how accurate stories passed down for generations by oral tradition, then written down, then translated 100 times will turn out…

Did fundies never play the “telephone” game when they were kids?

Earlier this year I visited this “Creation Science Museum” with a friend when we found ourselves in Big Valley. I had to pay $5 to get in. When I objected, the owner, Harry, approached us and said “you are atheists, aren’t you?” (we aren’t).
They say that they will be GST exempt soon. Is our tax money paying for something that was put together by the owner because of his fear for the Almighty? We came to that conclusion after a long debate with Harry, the owner. He said that at least he will go to Heaven, and us? Well, “you wait what happens to you when you die..” he said. Harry is agressive and ready to fight. Harry should know that argguing about religion is denounced in his beloved Bible (Timothy 31?).
He has a big collection of USA published books for free hand-outs. So who is financing this? Are we importing American fundamentalism into Canada under NAFTA?
It needs to be mentioned that this display of denouncing evolution is12 km from the badlands of the spectecular Red Deer River Valley, the biggest “museum” of evolution one can find in the West with it’s fossils, palaeontology, geology, biology, geography and anthropology.
The Tyrrell Musem of Palaeontology is 70 km away. Harry said I shouldn’t waste my $10 entrance fee there, because it is a big fake, including the many PhD scientists working there. So my $5 entrance fee to his “museum” was a real good deal!
In the end I asked what he wanted to prove with all these beautiful displays and he took us to a simple wallhanging that showed that Charles and Diana are directly related to Adam and Eve! (really, ever so scientific!)
The more controversial this issue becomes, the more satisfaction the creationists get out of it. At least they will get to Heaven! And then to think that several of the Republican presidential candidates believe in this God fearing creationism too! Now that has me worried, especially after seeing the simplistic way of their thinking at the Creation Science Museum.

This is one of my favorite articles. I spit up my drink when I hit the part about the sleeping “giant”, and then couldn’t stop laughing.

And it baffles me what “super creation” is. Is it, like creation on steroids? Like, god poofed everything into existence in two days instead of six? I mean, it’s not like he couldn’t have, being omnipotent and all…. whoops.

Anyway, final thought: the budgeting was kind of screwy, so the money that should’ve gone in to decent photography (namely, tilting the camera up two inches or -god forbid- using a self-timer and a tripod) went into the flashy rendering of Africa.

Your version of intellectual credibility sickens me.

I held off on commenting about this, but what the heck! That sentence doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Credibility is an objective assessment of how accurate something is. For example, science is credible, because it has mountains of data to back it up, and it has self-correcting mechanisms in place to bring it back on course when it starts to deviate.

The Holey Buy-bull is not credible, because it has no data to back up its claims, it contradicts known facts, and it has no mechanism for correction. In fact, all attempts to fix its numerous errors are met with howls of protest from the religious.

I also can’t figure out what a “version” of credibility might be.

Grow up and get a life.

I have a life. Trying to protect the Constitution and prevent a theocracy are noble goals.

A life spent wandering the internet looking for blogs you can post poorly-crafted, illogical, and illiterate comments on is the life that’s wasted.

You guys should learn some basic decentcy…

You should learn some basic spelling.

…in the way you deal with creationists.

I would, if only the creationists would learn some basic decency in how they deal with people who passed 4th-grade science.

Have a nice day.

Any day not laboring under the yoke of superstition is a nice day.

Super creation - super Creator.

The Universe is too big and complicated for your puny brain to comprehend, so you conclude that it must have been created. Yeah. That’s logical!

I guess creationists should return the favor and learn spelling…
Hey, at least if creationists visit this blog there’s always the chance that we might save the brains of one of them from biblecrap-induced rot.

“Oh, please! Do us all a favor and stay closed!” I couldn’t agree more.

I just feel bad for the poor kids who are forced to believe these blatant lies. :/

Damn you childhood indoctrination!
