Crazy Christians donated $27 mil to build anti-evolution "museum"
Ken Ham, of course, the nut bag's nut bag; CNN is promoting in now, and even said Ham used "the science of the bible." Who knew the bible was a science text? $27 million those Christian donators could have raised $27 million to help house and feed the homeless or pay to send some kids to college. Or something Christ-like. But no...they've built a museum to stupidity and ignorance, wherein dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth together.

Jesus H. Christ.

3. That's $27 million that won't support a Republican presidential candidate
The prospect of that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Let them piss on what they think is evolution. Since they can't recognize it when they see it, I expect the high nitrogen content to burn up a lot of grass around their monument to ignorance.

6. A couple of highlights, if you can call them that...
Can’t copy the entire article without disabling the total bogus rubbish filter, so here's a teaser. The whole thing is worth reading for a laugh or a reason to smack yourself in the forehead.

PETERSBURG — Tyrannosaurus rex was a strict vegetarian, and lived with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

There were dinosaurs of every kind aboard Noah’s ark. Some dinosaurs managed to hang around until just a few hundred years ago. The legend of St. George slaying the dragon? That probably was a dinosaur.

<snip>

There also will be an exhibit suggesting that belief in evolution is the root of most of modern society’s evils. It shows models of children leaving a church where the minister believes in evolution. Soon the girl is on the phone to Planned Parenthood, while the boy cruises the Internet for pornography sites.

8. is there anything about this religion that isn't based on LIES?
particularly shit that they KNOW is a lie. They don't even get their own Holiday dates right! A classic case of "Truthiness" I see this museum being as successful as Euro Disney and just as much rooted in fantasy.
