“There's a sucker born every minute”

PETERSBURG, Ky. - Less than two months after opening, a northern Kentucky museum dedicated to promoting creationism has drawn 100,000 visitors, causing some growing pains, museum officials said.
The milestone visit — the honor went to a Buffalo, N.Y., family — means the $27 million museum is on pace to easily shatter the first-year attendance projection of 250,000 visits, officials said.
“We’re pretty pleased with the response,” said Mike Zovath, vice president of museum operations.
The 60,000-square foot museum’s first weeks have been highlighted by packed parking lots, long lines to get in and — from critics — skepticism about the museum’s claims about science, faith and the origins of the earth.
Evolution is derided at the museum, which is packed with high-tech exhibits designed by an acclaimed theme-park artist, animatronic dinosaurs and a huge wooden ark. In this Old Testament version of history, dinosaurs appeared on the same day God created other land animals.
The museum also contains fossils, hung in large glass cases in a room visitors spill into after taking a tour of Old Testament history. Museum officials said most fossils were created by the massive flood detailed in the book of Genesis.

...ah....I don’t know what to say
PING.... btw could you please ad me to the Evolution Ping list ... thanks
I wonder if Piltdown Man is on display...
Remember, all fossil/scientific evidence is put there to test your faith. It can all be explained by extremely convoluted and irrational logic.
Pointing and laughing is not a reason to expand.
oops
Oh ya of course.
Wow, then ban me for having a rational mind too. Let's silence people who disagree - gonna win friends and influence people that way.
Sad.
Millions for a profit making museum yet next to nothing for Creation ‘Science” research.
Why is that?
Who was Patrick Henry and why was he banned?
Who was Patrick Henry and why was he banned?
Yeah, but just who is the sucker in this case? I suspect our views may differ on that.
Anyway, we visited the museum and, as the article says, found it very cool but very crowded.
The already iconic lobby display of the dinos and humans living together is a powerful symbolic "shot across the bow" of the evolutionistic scientific establishment.
More than likely they weren’t banned for “having a rational mind” but for the extreme rudeness exhibited by the totalitarian Evolutionists.
The sucker is the one who believes that the universe spontaneously appeared out of nothing - for no reason - and with no purpose.
Only a sucker would buy that.
