In Museums, Bible Tours Offer Different View

[MountainLaurel]

Inside the flagship lab of the National Center of Atmospheric Research, a dozen home-schooled children and their parents walk past the offices of scientists grappling with topics from global warming and microphysics to solar storms and the electrical fields of lightning.

They are trailing Rusty Carter, a guide with Biblically Correct Tours. At a large, colorful panel along a wall, Carter reads aloud from a passage describing the disappearance of dinosaurs from the earth about 65 million years ago. He and some of the older students exchange knowing smiles at the timeline, which contradicts their interpretation the Bible suggesting a 6,000-year-old planet.

"Did man and dinosaurs live together?" Carter asks. A timid yes comes from the students.

Mission accomplished for Carter, who has been leading such tours since 1988. He and the other guides counter secular interpretations of history, nature and the origin of life with their own literal reading of the Bible. And they do so right at the point where they feel they feel science indoctrinates young people _ museums.

1. You could make Rusty very angry

simply by going along on a tour and asking some pertinent questions.

3. That would be entertaining

Hell you could probably gett a pretty good short film out of that sort of scenario.

2. I'd love to hear these kids interviewed 20 or 25 years from now...

... to see how they've come terms with -- or not -- the mindrape they're experiencing now.

:(

6. If they're homeschooled and they're young enough

they'll be doing just fine, and teaching their kids the same. No exit from that scenario.

4. And the Lord sayeth in Rev 4:22 verse 7: "2 + 2 = 5"!

And the earth is flat and is the center of the universe and what the demon "scientists" call "stars" are REALLY pinpricks in the Celestial Sphere.

5. I have mixed feelings about this sort of nonsense

On the one hand, I think it's terrible that assorted wackos would rather their kids believe all sorts of idiotic crap rather than learning actual science. On the other hand, these future gooberheads will be that less competitive in the job market when they grow up.

9. LOL

11. If the GOP gets their way

These future gooberheads will be running the country.

7. The Worlds Most Boring Mueum Tour:

God did it.
Yes, God did that too.
No Billy, God did that.
Yes, and that too.
No Sarah, God did it.
Yes, God did that too.
Yes, God did it.
No, God didn't do that...Satan did.
No, God did that.
etc etc etc...
