While i believe in creation vs. evolution, i have sense enough to know that there has been more than 6000 yrs of earth existance.
I agree too with one of the commentors on the article, Adam and Eve were WHITE?! Not a chance, and very ignorant of the people who designed this museum piece.

"While I believe in creation vs. evolution, I have enough sense to know that there has been more than 6,000 years of Earth existence."
I don't understand how someone could have 'enough sense' to reject half of a myth and not the other. People who believe in creation don't base their beliefs on scientific fact, or empiricism, or rationality at all; they take their beliefs on faith. So if you have enough sense to know that the Earth is older than a mere 6,000 years, that sense does not come from faith; it comes from observing the facts. My question then is why does your sense stop their? If you base some beliefs on faith and others on reason and you have enough sense to not accept the absurd assertions of the YE creationists, then you should also have enough sense to recognize the ridiculousness of the whole enterprise of creationist faith. It would be like saying: "I believe that 4 4=10 because my holy book says so, but I have enough sense to know that 2 2=4."

there's a whole assumption of mutually exclusive ideas there deadhead.
the whole ball of wax seems built on contraditcion.
particle or wave
DNA or protien[chicken or egg conundrum]
oh hell, i shot my wad trying to be funny up there, plus it's been years since I read any science books.
I think there's enough contradiction and conundrum in the natural world to make Einstein's hair stand on end

Popeye was in fact one of the great philosophers of the 20th century. Let us not forget Wimpy or Alice the Goon who also provided much of the inspiration for the strategic thought of most of the human race, (Pre-Stooges of course!)

Whimpy was actually way ahead of his time. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hambuger today."
That's what I do with my credit card although the time, but when Whimpy was going around saying it, no one had even heard of a credit card.

I often wondered if the popeye writers did that on purpose, or that was accidental brilliance
'I am that I am' is a rather poor translation of the verb 'hayah', the imperfect form of the word 'be'
I am no linguist, but i understand that Hebrew verbs are either 'perfect' or 'imperfect', as in an action is completed or incomlete.
This is juicy stuff to me, and fascinating since it's 'hidden in plain sight'
you can go with the route the name of a perfect God's is imperfect, or you can go with the idea that God is being and his being is 'incomplete', as in this round of existence, a Buddhist notion if I ever heard one and sure to grit the teeth of Christians from Kasnmir to kalamazoo.

"I am that I am".>>>>
'I am what I am, and that's all that I am...I'm popeye the sailor man'...
That has been going through my head since I read that line. Here's the nut who got this going; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham
Good news! He's not an American. We already look stupid enough in the world.

The good news is, Canada's 'museum' is much smaller.

"to discover a museum full of shocking idiocy and unintentional humor..."
Sounds like a fun afternoon and daresay an altered state of consciousness would heighten the absurd.
Ken portrayed by a barbie doll?? Am I remembering it right - it was a LONG piece, perhaps a bit too long..
But definitely worth a skim!

Isn't freedom great!
Museums attack tourists.
Tourism is what is keeping most of Kentucky, lower Indiana & Ohio generating revenue.
I was disappointed with my dads hometown in Indiana, it has become a tourist town, it is definitely not the town I remembered from years ago.
thanks Neophile & fedquip for this article.

Sometimes fiction is more fascinating than facts!
This "Museum" sounds like a tourist trap much in the same vein as the rest of loony joints spread across the continent, except that this will have a GUARANTEED traffic by the "Born Again"s and the "Porn Again"s!
Thanks for this [post, fedequip, and Neophile for the heads up!

Honest question: what is the story behind the picture of adam and eve and the inside-out animals on the big stone?

It was either a sacrifice or the result of the first alien cow mutilation.

This is the exact reason that I am not religious. I do respect other people's spiritual beliefs, but to think that that crap is the truth in the face of so much scientific data is a f***ing insult to gray matter! I could saw my brain in half and still not be stupid enough to believe that!
I spoke to a reverend a few years ago about the story of creation, and even he said that it was not literal, it represented the seven stages of creation that everything on the planet goes through. I didn't completely agree with everything he said, but it made much more sense.
To be honest I did find it quite funny, I also died a little inside too.

''To be honest I did find it quite funny, I also died a little inside too.''
I am not sure what you meant by this, but it reminded me of a couple things.
'The joy in the world has become less'
The Joseph Campbell concept of terror/joy
The Jungian idea 'Religion is a protection from the truth'
The joy and immediacy of life we experience as children necessarilty has to fade over time, but it seems to fade to soon these days.
nothing quite as disturbing to me as a cynical child with those guarded, dead eyes.
the symbols and myths in religion are there for children, and for the children in us to embrace and let go of over time, as 'our eyes become opened' and we struggle with the meaning behind these time tested symbols and stories.
To me, assailing those that haveen't let go yet only makes them cling tighter.
But it's a two way street; and these folks have to let those that have let go, go their way in peace as well

"Inherit the Wind" is the dramatization of the 1925 Scopes Trial (the "Monkey" Trial), which resulted in Scopes' conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law that mandated the teaching of a form of creationism.
