Creationist museum in Kentucky


Earlier this summer I was visiting Washington state, and admiring the canyons of the Columbia river. To my suprise the brass panels explaining the geology of the canyons at a lookout site had been vandalized to remove the age of the formation. The X-million years had been scratched out, probably with great effort. And I thought that state was progressive! Things weren't better in New-York, where I finally got to visit the museum of natural history and its impressive dinosaur collection. I was shocked to learn that some groups where given a "cleaned up" version of the tour that distorts the fact to make them agree with genesis. At least it wasn't sanctioned by the museum... But now Kentucky gets the Dawkins award, for opening a museum specifically devoted to spreading that bullshit. The $25M museum will display the 6000 year history of the earth complete with humans riding on the backs of dinosaurs. The moto: "prepare to believe"...

Man that's so inaccurate. Everyone knows there's no dinosaurs in Genesis.
