News: Museum uses Bible to tell Earth's history
<snip>

PETERSBURG, Ky. - Like most natural history museums, this one has exhibits showing dinosaurs roaming the Earth. Except here, the giant reptiles share the forest with Adam and Eve.

That, of course, is contradicted by science, but that's the point of the $25 million Creation Museum rising fast in rural Kentucky.

<snip>

Mark Looy, a vice president at Answers in Genesis, said the museum has received at least $21 million in private donations. He said two anonymous donors have given $1 million, and he expects the museum to be debt-free when it opens next May.

John Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, an organization that promotes creationism, said the museum will affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life.

"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," he said.

How is this possible? How far down the rabbit hole have we traveled now?

1. How far? Well, the White Knight is talking backwards...
...and the Red Queen says 'Off with their head'.

Statements like this just make me halt in my shoes and consider our human predicament:

"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," he said.


No, they're gullible enough to believe an invisible sky being made everything?

:crazy:
