This thread is just the same as all the others: neither side is convincing the other...and the evolutionists among us are throwing the same old canards. What a waste of time and space!
This is FREEREPUBLIC and I have an opinion, and a long track record of getting along well here and just because you disagree with my opinion on this point doesnt mean Im trying to stop you from going to the museum.
Go. Have fun. Really. I hope you like it.
In my opinion, though, it is pretty pathetic. And I get to say that here. I really do. Sorry about that.
Veritas. Amen. That is my view entirely.
Pathetic. Bogus. Sad. As sucinct as possible. Excellent.
But it's a free country. And I actually prefer they have there own spot for communal dissemination of their beliefs rather than pushing this onto the rest of us.
That being said, I work in engineering with some brilliant fellow Christians who are unfortunately snared in this lie.
The point? The two most "hard-core" YECs are among the best minds I know when it comes to their jobs - which are very technical and and require fluency in electrical engineering, physics, and a slew of other areas.
This fantasy may be harmful in some ways but as an Ex-Navy Nuc who knew a whole lot of people like this it does not necessarily mean they are total incompetents or idiots.
I’d like to see a list of them.
Seriously.
I'm sure they are good at what they do, but would you honestly want them working in other scientific fields where the age of the cosmos is important? How do they justify a young Earth while working with elements that have provably been around for millions of years?
Like Kirkwood pointed out earlier, if someone believes the universe is only 6,000 years old, how do they explain stars that are millions of light years away? They obviously wouldn't cut it in the field of astronomy.
The one guy I have in mind in particular is a man of great technical understanding.
I'm just saying.
“How can we see light from so far away if we can only see 6000 light years into the past?”
Hey, well, the answer’s either in the Bible or that stuff’s all just a lie by atheist scientists.
What a hoot... Early in the museum, the visitor is given advice on the proper mind frame to have for your visit: “Don’t think, just listen and believe”. Here is a link to Fun at the Creation Museum

You might want to try doing google searches on 'dinosaurs' and 'petroglyphs'. Apparently it's more than just Christians who don't buy into the 65 million year thing with dinosaurs and, apparently also, there are obvious and recognizable images of known dinosaur types on canyon walls in many North American sites, ancient American Indian artwork.
You might also want to do google searches on 'tyrannosaur' and 'soft tissue' and take a look at some of the images of the raw meat they've found in dinosaur bones recently, e.g.
For that to be 65 million years old as the evolutionists are trying to claim, it would have to have never rained in Montana or the Dakotas for the last 65 million years.
Let's see creationism explain the Cambrian explosion and the KT boundary without using "flood geology".
Pop quiz:
1. How were those samples prepared?
2. What was the scale of those photographs?
Hint: They were prepared in a hell of a lot less than 65 million years.
I am sure that if I were to open a museum or theme park based on the TV show Hee-Haw it would likely do equally as well.
1. How were those samples prepared?
2. What was the scale of those photographs?"
It is all in the peer reviewed article.

I know, I’ve read the article. I was wondering if rickdylan knew this critical information and perhaps could explain why the scale bars were edited out of those photographs.
Oh, so you don’t know? How can you claim that these samples are evidence of what you say if you don’t know how they were prepared?
