BBC News => Creation museum pushes ‘true history’
I thought they convicted that crackpot Hovind (currently facing 288 years in prison) we’d be done with this sort of nonsense, but apparently not.
The museum’s aim is to bring Genesis – the first book of the Bible – to life for all ages, and promote the belief that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
Everybody who works at the museum has to sign on to the belief that the living Earth was created in six 24-hour days – rejecting the convention most scientists view as fact, that life evolved slowly over millions of years.
To hammer that point home, two smiling children clad in tasteful animal skins, work and play alongside a pair of baby Tyrannosaurus Rex
..and yet, staffer Georgia Purdom did say one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen in print:
“It’s foundational. If you can’t believe Genesis, then why believe any other part of the Bible?
â€You can’t pick and choose, you can’t say this part is right, and this part is wrong.“
That really does say it all. Dawkins couldn’t have said it better.
