Jesus Blesses the Dinosaurs



Those nutty science hating soldiers in god's army are at it again. Tomorrow marks the grand opening of the Creation Museum outside Cincinnati. Sadly, media outrage against this nonsense has been minimal The "liberal-jew, god-hating, fag-enabler" New York Times lent a modicum of credulity to this asinine enterprise in a surprisingly even handed article.

To save you the agony of reading the umpteen articles written about this today, I'll boil it down:

There is a museum in Kentucky that presents biblical fairy tales, misinformation, 14th century science and out-right lies as fact. There are dinosaurs and "cavemen" posed together in dioramas. It's really a bible museum with a veneer of "science" credibility tacked over it. Take a look for yourself.

I honestly can't tell how disgusted by this I am. I find it terrifying that we're moving backward intellectually in this country. I'm not talking simply about our diminished level of discourse, I'm talking about people "believing" in "facts" (like young earth theory [ha!]) because their preacher said they were the truth. Science is based on thoroughly researched, peer reviewed evidentiary studies, not dusty stories from some moldy old book.

Fuck off with your fundamentalism.
