My faith in evolution= a grain of salt
My faith in Christ=my eternal soul...

I think ICR has something like this out in California, near San Diego. Now the AIG types are putting one on the Ohio River in Kentucky.
They should put the next one in France and call it "Euro-YEC-o."
They are described in accurate detail in the book of Job.
The Theory of Evolution (as correct as I personally thing it is) does NOT negate the First Amendment to the US Constitution!
Gravity sucks.
I have never seen this invisible force called gravity. I only see that objects don't like to get too far away from each other before they change their mind and reverse direction.
Actually I believe that newton has been debunked. Newtonian physics has been replaced with the current quantum physics. Which someday will be replace by something else.

As soon as scientists get the weather forcast 100% correct I might fall for the old Australopithicus routine.
There are too many unknowns,the jury is still out.
Who made us? And for that matter why are we here?
Granted that's outside the scope of this thread, but something
doesn't come from nothing. And since we're talking about it,
something had to have got this whole thing a rollin.
Well that's interesting. Carl Everett, the short-fused Red Sox outfielder who has thankfully gone to the Rangers, said the dinosaurs never existed, because there is no mention of them in the Bible.Which is it?
Hey now. Computers and airplanes were never mentioned in the Bible, so they must not exist either. The Bible doesn't mention Coca-Cola or cheeseburgers; yikes! Out they go, too.
Conversely, if all those dinosaurs existed in the garden of Eden, it must have been too crowded to include all the other animals - modern animals, ice age animals, all those giant mammals that existed after the dinosaurs were gone; not to mention all the dinosaur and non-dinsosaur species of the Jurassic, Triassic, Cretaceous, etc., and then all the species which existed long before the dinosaurs. Nope; not even if the entire earth was Eden could it hold them all, all of them alive at the same time.
Fundamentalists seem to have a problem dealing with any kind of chronology over 6,000 years; but then they don't realize they borrowed that time span from the Zoroastrians.
Bovine effluvia. El toro poopoo. In other words, bullexcrement.
If American scientists are "outraged," it had certainly escaped my attention up till now. My guess is, to the extent they're aware of the museum plans, 99.99% of them don't give a rat's hindparts.
It is obvious what this article is about. From the distinguished Times to the sleaziest tabloid, it is the greatest of sport, in the British press, to portray America as a land of clueless rubes. But it's a cherished American right to be just as damn stupid as we want to be, and to spend as much money doing so as we wish. Millions of people, for example, believe Bill Clinton was the greatest President of the 20th Century, and many of them are donating for the construction of a Presidential library in Little Rock which will cost many times what the creationists' museum will cost.
The proper reaction to any such expenditure (providing that one we should protest the use of tax revenues for such projects) is not outrage, but laughter.
Truth stands by itself.
Lies require the force of law to stand.
Which grey-bearded old man with a book do you trust? Do any of them know ultimate truth? Is there such a thing?
LOL! I don't see it either. These scientific fundamentalists believe in some unseen force holding the universe together. I want them to prove it exists.
I'm a creationist too, but an "old earth" creationist (I think God took his sweet time, of which he had plenty). Of course, since that goes against a literal reading of Genesis, I guess I'll also "see you in hell" (to paraphrase Jim Carey in a classic SNL skit).
If they do, they need to remember that neither Eve nor Adam had navels.

If something could not come from nothing, how could God create the universe out of nothing? An observation of phenomena which does not require a God does not, however, require "something out of nothing", either. If everything always exists, and has always existed, it is not necessary to speak of "creation" but merely of change over time: to wit, endless change over infinite time. There need be no beginning, and therefore, no creator. There is no need to posulate something to have got things rolling, because "things" have always been "rolling".
