Creation Museum founded by Answers in Genesis....Ken Ham as leader.
I just realized the connection here. Here is a picture I found online under Google Images of Ken Ham.



Here is where I saw him preaching that evolution was evil to a large group of people, many small children. It is from the film by Alexandra Pelosi called Road Trip on HBO.

Video clip:
Refuting Evolution (from HBO's Friends of God)

The children sit there wide-eyed, laughing and smiling, as he shows pictures of apes, saying "your grandfather didn't look like that, did he?"

It was geared to make someone ashamed who even questioned creationism.

Here is more about that AIG group and Ken Ham.

The goals of the Creation Museum: degut education and science


AIG founder and president Ken Ham maintains that since the Bible explicitly says the world was created in six regular days, dinosaurs co-existed with man. Indeed, Mr. Ham has authored a book titled Dinosaurs of Eden. But if that $9.99 title is too expensive, try another of Mr. Ham’s titles -- What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs? -- in which he explains how “the Bible gives us a framework for explaining dinosaurs in terms of thousands of years of history, and solving the mystery of when they lived and what happened to them.” And all that bible-based “knowledge” is on sale for just 50 cents on AIG’s web site.

Some of Mr. Ham’s other “scientific” notions and exhibit information at the Creation Museum argue that Tyrannosaurus rex was a strict vegetarian, every kind of dinosaur was among the passengers on Noah’s ark, dinosaurs went extinct only a few hundred years ago, and the waters from Noah’s flood quickly carved the Grand Canyon just a few thousand years ago.


Watch the video of Ken Ham above, and watch the children being manipulated while their parents watched and clapped.

6. and here's Noah's Ark, complete with Dinos


Creation Science Evangelism

This is not your Daddy's (or even your great-great-granddaddy's) Noah Ark

from 1886, Noah's Ark by Edward Hicks





Guess the artist just didn't want to draw attention to the Dinos

Great pictures, BTW. :-)

10. LOL I know!
I love that one parents explanation - since she can understand the bible easier over science(creation over evolution), it's just easier to believe the bible (creation) over science (evolution)

LMAO

I love that song (behemoth is the dinosaur) I spewed coffee everywhere

15. Ok, I just can't resist.
I found this page of bumper stickers...

http://www.bumperart.com/ProductsList.aspx?CategoryId=91

A couple of samples.

The Southern Baptist credo



And watch for unmanned cars:


And then there is Ken Ham's picture...which strangely enough reminds one of exactly what he is preaching against.

Except Cornelius was an ape of science.
