It's depressing to think that there are grown adults (including many who are positions of power) who believe this crap. I think I'm just about out of hope for the future. :angry-banghead:

I'm confused... it says that the flood made magical rafts out of logs for the animals to float to different continents, but also says the people were all destroyed (them and the tigers). What was the point of the ark if god was going to save animals with the log rafts?

I also call bullshit on the dogfood like animal feed.

I think they change the bible more than a jot or tittle to try to make this scenario play.

I am very sad to know that some of my inlaws buy this and promote it and are actively involved in trying to get it taught in public schools.

After the flood, when the waters receded, the two of each kind bred, and eventually their offspring climbed onto these logs and traveled to other continents. This explains similar animals and plants on different continents.

You know, like a deer from Africa traveling across the ocean on a log, with no food or water, ending up in north America.

I am seriously confused by this one:

Marsupials, which have pouches, can nurse their young while moving. That may explain why on each continent marsupials were the fist animals buried and preserved in the flood.

Placental mammals, which nurse their young in the womb, spread out more slowly, gradully dominating in Eurasia, Africa, North American and finally South America.

1. Is there any evidence that the oldest fossils are marsupials, anywhere?

2. I don't know of any mammals that nurse their young in the womb. Gestate them, yes. Nurse them, not so much. Am I wrong?

3. Why finally South America?

4. What does the first section have to do with the second?

5. Why does gestating in the womb make you better able to dominate after a flood?

I'm sure there's more but I can't wrap my head around the "logic" of this at all.

I bet if Ken Ham hadn't been indoctrinated, he would be a best selling author of children's books. Or science fiction. Either way, he's got quite the imagination. Too bad it's wasted on trying to disprove science.

C'mon, bet you all didn't realize when you were watching the Flintstones that it was REAL LIVE HISTORY :lol:

The Young-Earth Creationist sings:

Flinstones – meet the Flintstones --

They were friends of Noah, yes sirree!

Bible is our bedrock,

That’s the place we learn all history!

Let’s ride on a stegosaurus back,

Adam did, so we should get the knack!

When you’re a Creationist,

That six day story was in real time,

We don’t come from slime,

Our stupor is sublime!

I was trying to figure this out to. I just did a quick google search but I couldn't find anything that would put marsupials being buried and preserved first in all the continents. Did he just pull this out of thin air or is their some fossil layer somewhere that made him think this?

Yeah, those Adam & Eve figures were....very intimate for people who fear physical contact. Had they been properly married first??

Glad they got a picture of the sign that stated that there were no weeds before the fall. That was hilarious!

I can't tell you how many times I had to read number 39.

39. Wives jealous of pastors and brothers looking at porn together are a consequence of our sinful world.

I couldn't figure out why my pastor and my brothers were watching porn together. I figured it out when I read a little further down and a bit more carefully.

The whole thing is just crazy.

And people buy yearly passes? Does the Creation Museum sponsor special exhibits? What special exhibits would they host?

Where the fuck in the Bible does it say this?

Noah fed the animals on the ark through a cage system. He probably or might have made dry food like dog and cat food before the flood came.

I soooooooooo could have got my PhD faster if rather than do experiments and generate data to back my hypothesis, I JUST MADE SHIT UP!

The "Noah made dog and cat food" doesn't really mesh with what is in the Bible. God told Noah to gather up all the food that was eaten and that would be what he and the animals ate. Nothing in there seems like they would mixing up pellets of food that everybody would eat.

You're leaving out the BIG BAG OF DRUGS while they watch porn.

Do people actually watch porn with someone they aren't intending to have sex with later? That seem awkward.

I'm still trying to figure out the "jealous of pastors" bit.

The more I see from this place, the more I'm convinced that it's all a scam: he doesn't believe any of it and this is just a big building of satire he's using to generate a lot of money from idiots with.

I believe in evolution. Where do I pick up my pornography and bag of drugs? Can they ship it to me in a discreet, plain brown package? I wouldn't want my neighbors to talk.

Ok, so I figured out that marsupials were buried first because of their ability to nurse while on the move. So they migrated faster than other animals (key: AFTER the flood) and that's why they were the earliest ones discovered in the fossil record.

Placental animals "nurse" (nourish) their young in the womb through the placenta (as opposed to egg laying creatures which lay eggs and leave). They spread out all over, but slower than marsupials.

The jealous wife complains about her husband, pastors wife, etc. She is a sinner.

Wait, so the implication here is that I, as a wife, would be jealous if a pastor or a pair of brothers chose to watch porn? Why would I care?

Or perhaps my jealousy as a wife simply stems from the fact that the pastor and brothers possess better-quality (hypothetical) porn than I do. :lol:

Edited for clarity.

I would not take my small kids to a museum where I would have to explain porn to them.

Wasn't there parts of this museum that the Maxwells had to cover their eyes at? Or am I making that up?

Yes and I think they skipped the video because it was too intense?

Maxwell's trip to the creation museum:

blog.titus2.com/2007/10/04/men-of-vision-creation-science-museum/

Yep, eyes were covered (and *shock* tickets were given to them).

I remember some other "educational" video Steve bought for his kids that he also made them cover their eyes or fast forwarded through. Can't remember what.
