Highly acclaimed by whom? They’re kooks. Gotta love the timing though. Land of the Lost comes out next week.

I am going to open an anti-plate techtonics museaum… Do you think I could get some press? Plate Techtonics is nothing more than a myth.

And don’t forget all that cell theory and vaccine rubbish. We all know little toads and spirits cause disease, not microbes.

Congratulations! A fitting tribute to the historical Genesis genealogies, and confirmed by the historical, miracle-working, resurrected Jesus Christ.

Cell theory basically invalidates all chance for spontaneous biochemical evolution of life.

Cute little uninformed rant though.

Scott, are you SURE you want to open this can of worms?

Basically, the “creation museum” celebrates a very narrow version of biblical literalism that states that the creation took place over a 6 day period some 6000 years ago.

There are NO facts to support this.

It is a celebration of IGNORANCE, and is that something to celebrate?

Heck, even historical archeology doesn’t support this view.

I mean, forget the progression of information in DNA, genes coming from nowhere, order from disorder…er nonexistence. Evolution doesn’t happen if organized functional proteins don’t exist, get together to arrange themselve properly, somehow get encoded for in a yet to exist nucleotide sequencing language and then survive past the first generation by procreating without a mechanism to do so.

Regardless of a viewpoint on the origin of species, you don’t get life from evolution, it had to be here before it could evolve.

There is support and clarification in the Qur’an for what the Hebrew Bible says. The Qur’an states the the heavens and earth were created in 6 ‘yaums’, ‘yaum’ being the word for ‘day’. However it also says, right after, that these ‘yaum’ were as if ‘one thousand of earth years’, which is idiomatically saying a very long time period. Muslims translate this to mean that heavens and earth were created in six ‘aeons’ or six stages. We have discussed this in our Jewish-Muslim scripture study group. The point is that the Bible is stating something of value that is being misunderstood. Our error, perhaps, is not comprehending the nature of language and the limitations of translation.

It’s amazing throughout the centuries, that “science” has disproven NOTHING in the Bible.

There is room in literal biblical christianity for this view also. It goes by the name “long-day” creationism, has its critics and advocates, but is widely considered an acceptable interpretation.
