The time draws ever closer for the grand unveiling of the Creation Museum in Kentucky/Ohio wherever by its AIG founder, Ken Ham.

Here is a commentary on the event. It is due to open on Memorial Day (28th May)
Only 6 days, one hour and 25 minutes to go!

The best quote is this one which comes from a creationist Pastor in the nearby "Big Bone Baptist church":
"I'm just a simple person," he said, "but I could never believe we came from goo."

He could've stopped there and his statement would not have lost any meaning.

It's always funny to see someone start a sentence like that when they're trying to sound like they have ANY understanding of what's going on.

Imagine you have pains in your chest, and you go to your cardiologist, and say "I'm having pains in my chest". He replies, "I'm just a simple man, but we should probably do an operation and swap that heart out for a better one." It may be time to get a second opinion.

I'd say it'll be more like "Here's twenty dollars can you feed my children the same load of bull i've been fed so that they can grow up as misinformed as I am?"
 
It would really interesting if they opened and everyone discovered that the museum was empty.

Of course, he is quite convinced that he is a virgin birth, and that his parents never had sex. Really the thought of starting life off as such goo is really off putting to most people.
 
Part of me has the perverse desire to go and see it. I really want to see how they explain it all.
 
One shudders when thinking about what this museum will attempt to “teach” about earth’s history. The museum should just be a dark tunnel, with one end saying: “Take the Bible literally”, and the other saying “Nuff said” A dark tunnel is the only real way to symbolize their movement). Certainly, they can’t pretend to even know the truly awesome beginnings of the Universe, let alone the history and genealogy of life.

I strongly object to their use of the word museum. Perhaps theme park, or propaganda center would be more fitting. When we think museum, our mind conjures images of history, science and art; creation is neither science nor history. At best, it’s a rather artless attempt to support Bronze Age myths about the nature of the Cosmos (a pathetic one at that).

I can only imagine prominent American scientists ducking their heads in the sand to avoid the humiliation of such an enterprise.

6,011 Years as of October 23rd 9am to be exact.

Easy -- 6,011 light years away G-d sprinkled a whole lot of photons. That's where the starlight comes from. :)_

How about a problem with the fact that the term Milky way comes from a Pagan Mythology (Greek/Roman) and it's thus the wrong creation story.
 
As there's no evidence to support 'creationism' what could one possibly put in a Creation Museum?

I have a vision of this being nothing more than a large, empty room....
 
Here's a quote from the largest newspaper in the commonwealth:

A dangerous cultural experiment is taking place in Petersburg, Ky., near the Ohio border. The experiment will shed light on the following question: How much money and glitz does it take to institutionalize a scientific lie?
