Re: Another creation "museum" ...
Yup, another "not for profit" purveyor of truth.
I am curious as to what the caption says for the mastodon skull. If you have dinosaurs and humans co-existing, then certainly mastodons lived much more recently. Maybe it says "Perhaps your great, great, great grandfather used one of these for transportation."
You missed some good quotes that I found quite funny.
quote:
Curator Stan Lutz said that's what distinguishes his from other creationism museums.
"That's something other creationists don't do: They don't put science up," he said.
Oh that's funny. I bet Ham and Hovind will be upset to find out their museums don't "put up science."
Another one about the Ica Stones:
quote:
The stones continue to find supporters among those who claim their existence reinforces the "ancient alien" theory that extraterrestrials guided human development, those who believe the stones were crafted by residents of the lost continent of Atlantis, and young-earth proponents.
All about equally valid "theories."
Can anyone explain why there would be an A-10 Warthog on the roof?
My guess is there are a few reasons. 1) He simply had one available for some reason, probably from a donor, 2) it would attract kids and 3) it will be used as a symbol of what "real science" can accomplish.

Re: Another creation "museum" ...
Just kinda glanced through those creation museum websites and while I don't see they make many specific points (if you want to know what evidence they have you have to pay admission ), but they all have one thing in common - other than the YEC thing. They all make comparison between real science, which does not contradict the Bible and it's teaching on a young earth and the false science of evolution and an old earth. I just find it fascinating how theologians with little or no science background are able to tell the difference between "true" science and "false" science and those of us that spend countless hours studying science and receiving degrees are so far off.
