    that's pretty good. im definitely telling that story to my kids.

    doesn't seem very christian though. perhaps it serves a twofold purpose... explaining away dinosaurs and implying that it's ok for us to pollute and destry the planet becos we've already done it and god gave us this place anyway to do with as we please.

    There is a burgeoning christian environmentalist movement though. Though they may not entirely sign on to all leftist schemes for global warming etc, many consider St. Francis as a good example of a saint who respected God's creation.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    I kind of really want to go for the trainwreck... wow this is hilarious aspect of it.


    I wonder if they have an IMAX theatre.


    I've always preferred Intelligent Design or The first mover argument much much better.

    It would be a train wreck all right. I'd be proudly wearing an Einstein or Darwin tshirt.

    Admission is $20, I bet I could probably fool them into admitting me for free if I tried hard enough (hehe maybe)

    I love the motto on their home page "prepare to believe" Sounds similar to fox's motto "Fair and Balanced"

    I'd be laughing so hard they would probably throw me out at some point.

    Heehee ... exactly what I was thinking. They have Darwin fish shirts at the local bookstore, I figured I'd wear one of those :D And uncontrollable laughter would definitely be on the agenda!

    now im going to try to figure out just how big noah's ark would have to be to hold 2 of every animal for 40 days... think of the largest zoo you've ever been to and how many animals actually fit in there. that is one big boat. especially when you add t-rex into the equation. speaking of, what happened to dinosaurs? god just decided he didn't like them anymore and wiped them out? cos if evolution and natural selection are flawed, natural extinction seems equally implausible. let's hope he decides to do the same to creationists, or at least smite their funhouse.

    The animals were small. They were what you lefty's call "fetuses."
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

    I saw one of those Darwin fishes just yesterday, and gave the driver a nod as I went by.

    Seriously though...I'm going to have to do this now at some point :D

    Everyone would be all quiet and serious...going ooo and ahhh...saying "oh my gosh!" The employee guide dudes would be giving their "this is how it really is folks" speeches (oh...I so hope they have that!), and I'd be busting out in tears in the background soaking up the "ambiance" lol

    Just thinking about it now...I can't wait! :D

    I should have guessed it was really a giant wooden womb.

    I was wondering same. That's where harry potter comes in again I imagine.

    amakazula fiddle boppers shazam! :D

    which leads me to the question did god have a magic wand, or did he just wave his arms around in the air? lol...

    Oh man...for sure they would kick me out...I'd be saying these kinds of things out loud to the people I came with. It'd be a riot, I can only imagine the looks and comments I would get. I would have to film it and post it on youtube.

    Religious or not, does anyone actually believe the story of Noah's ark is 100% accurate?

    what's not to get? creationism= fairy tales for ignorant morons. creation museum= enterprise built on lies and misinformation that makes an already dangerously dumb american public even stupider.

    We should organize a field trip at some point .... the MT Goes To The Creation Museum! We'll all get dressed up in our Darwin fishes .... hey, wait a minute! I've got a PJ ape/man t-shirt around here somewhere, that would be just as good, wouldn't it? Oh, the fun we'd have! And with just a little bit of luck, we wouldn't wind up in custody anywhere.

    Here's a little constructive criticism for the Christians out there...
    Faith.. is FAITH. There is no proof needed... there is no right or wrong. Faith belong to you... it is personal. Faith is a good thing to possess.
    Trying to come up with this really lame ass counter arguement to science with this... lack of a better term... moronic dinosaurs and Jesus thing... well, you end up losing points with that shit.
    If you believe in God... that Jesus is your own PERSONAL saviour... you don't need to prove it to anyone... or make counter claims to science. Science is not Faith and vice-versa.
    ...
    And remember... just because it works for you, doesn't mean it'll work for me. Let me have my faith... my belief... even if I believe in nothing. You may believe I need to be saved... I don't. Focus on saving yourself.
