Chupacabra Now At The Creation Museum

His Lost World Museum (named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel in which dinosaurs still exist) features items and artifacts that he believes proves that scientists don't have all the answers.

Good grief. Why are creationists so stupid? If you're going to attack another point of view, you could at least make some effort to understand it.

Thanks for the OP.
From the linked article

So is the animal really the mysterious bloodsucking beast, the world's third best-known mystery animal after Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster?

Tissue samples were taken, though DNA results have not been revealed.

The two most common explanations are that it is either a hairless Mexican dog breed called Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo for short), or a mangy coyote. Indeed, previous "chupacabras" found in nearby Cuero, Texas, in 2007 were found to be mostly coyote. Ayer himself is quick to point out that he never claimed he had a chupacabra.

"I still don't know what it is; in my opinion it's some sort of genetically defective coyote," Ayer told LiveScience. "I don't believe in chupacabras. I don't believe in any mythical beasts whatsoever. We labeled it that because everyone else was calling it that."

Seems the museum has something on display that they're referring to as a Chupacabra; the curator, John Adolfi, is showing it to "prove the fallibility of science", or some such.

Article? Yep, right here:

The more I hear about this place, the more I want to go, just to see what's there...

I wouldn't go there because they charge over twenty bucks admission and I don't want these jerks to have any of my money.

Mostly because it looks wierd. Remember, in Vampire lore part of the description of the appearance of the Vampire came from the natural decaying process of the body, but because it looked weird and people couldn't understand it, it had to be something otherworldly, and without information, fear rears its ugly head and everybody assumes the absolute worse they can.
 
I cannot think of a better place to display Chupacabra. The Creation museum is the greatest establishment in the world. Where else could you herd idiots, dolts, nincompoops dunderheads, the hard of thinking, f**ktards, the stupid, the terminally thick, unmitigated f**kwits, the silly, those with IQs that would challenge Amoebas, nutjobs and tourists to reason, all in one place?
 
From the article:
A creationist, Adolfi believes that the Earth was created 6,000 to 10,000 years ago by God. He believes that by displaying the chupacabra, he will cast doubt on the credibility of mainstream scientists: If scientists scoff at the chupacabra's existence, could they be wrong about evolution and the age of the Earth?

If that's not a clear case of a creationist seeming to help win the argument in favor of evolution, then I must be missing something about this that isn't supposed to make it Epic Fail.
 
From the linky...
"is on display for an exclusive engagement through Halloween "
Its just holiday fun to scare the punters.

In it's defence science is pretty good at asking questions.
 
It just annoys me to see pretty much the whole point of science (keep asking questions, change your theories if the answers demand it*) being thrown up as some sort of negative quality. Do these people live their lives according to some book of rules drawn up thousands of years ago?

Oh, creationists. Yeah. They do. Pillocks.





*yes, I know this is a gross oversimplification of science

Just to be clear, the chupacabra is at A creation museum, not Ken Ham's THE Creation Museum.
 
This proves evolution doesn't exist? If that's true, then there must have been a chupacabra on the ark or else they would all be dead. And the bible must mention a chupacabra. That's amazing.

Imagine how the goats felt when they realized they'd be sharing an ark not just with lions, tigers and dinosaurs, but with something actually called "goat-sucker."
