Ken
Ham's Creation "museum"
"This month's
Mad
magazine... has a feature on the the 20
dumbest people, events, and things of 2007, and guess what won a slot on the
list?"
--Pharyangula
"Finally there is compelling evidence that the theory of
evolution is wrong! For proof positive that man's intelligence has not evolved
in eons, consider the Cro-Magnon brained imbeciles behind the recently opened
Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. The museum's exhibits don't merely
challenge science, they ignore it completely! It's the only place in the world
you can see man riding bareback on a dinosaur — except, of course, in an old
episode of The Flintstones."
--Mad magazine
"I admit I was dismayed by what I saw at the Ken Ham
museum. It was alarming to see so much time, money and effort being
spent on making a mockery of hard won scientific knowledge. And the
fact that it was being done with such obvious sincerity, somehow
made it all the worse".
--Robert Winston, British scientist, politician and Television
presenter, from the BBC documentary "The Story of God".
On
28 May 2007, in
Boone County, Kentucky,
Answers in Genesis (AiG) opened what is laughingly referred to as a museum.

Somewhere back around the time
that AIG's Creation Museum opened in Kentucky, SF author and blogger John Scalzi
issued a challenge to his blog readers: if they'd contribute $250 or more in a
week to a charity fund, then he'd visit the museum and report back on what he
found. They did. He did. He put it off for a while, but finally did it a few
days ago. Now he's posted the result at his blog.

"Even in this brief
walk-thru, it is easy to see the flawed science and wrong Biblical
interpretation used by Answers in Genesis. Once again, the world
will laugh at young earth creationists (and in doing so, at the church
as a whole), as they try to pass off their bad science as the truth."
