It doesn’t threaten my beliefs, but I do worry about America’s youth competing in the international world of science and technology when they’ve been taught to believe ridiculousness that says dinosaurs and humans lived together.

That's just such a ridiculous statement I don't even know where to start.

Are you correlating the decline of American education with the teaching of creationism?

I very much doubt this "museum" will be affecting the future of our youth in any appreciable fashion.

I heard some kids from a Christian school while we were on the tram up Lookout Mountain talking about their earlier trip to Ruby Falls. None of the kids believed a thing the guide told them because her talk included the fact that the cave was 10 million (or whatever number it was) years old. “Yeah,” one kid said, “everybody knows the Earth’s only 6,000 years old.”

I just shook my head.

Young Earth Creationism is a pathetic fantasy.

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.

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.
