How Many Have Visited Kentucky's Creation Museum?

Ah yes!!!! Religions' answer to Disneyland, with a bit less emphasis on factual information.

If you have been there, what were your impressions and experiences? Did it solidify your faith?
I have not been there but I did see it on an episode of The Simpsons.

Wait, when did this happen?

And exactly which "scientists" changed their minds?

I highly recommend you & others educate yourselves on the issues. The Internet offers you an easy way to find articles on science. Read up on the recent shift in scientists who now acknowledge dinosaurs alongside humans. Also study up on the shortcomings of carbon dating & how it has failed to accurately date dinosaur/human remains.

Ready? Go!

Right, because if it's on the intertubes, it must be true!

I'm more than happy to read an academic, peer-reviewed journal article presenting this viewpoint. Do you happen to know of any that I should look into?

Thats a laugh, YOU telling US to "educate" ourselves while you downplay science as some kind of whacky fantasy. Wow, I bet you had a stellar upbringing & was part of a great education system to boot.

At least they have something to go on & these little things called "facts" (here's a hint, dear. Things change when new discoveries are found). What do you have, a bunch of tall tales in an old book about talking snakes & people living inside whales. Yeah, where do I sign up to dedicate my life to that??

I think some of you people are so swept up in your own little social circles & delusions that you don't actually stop to think for a second how ridiculous all this sounds. Thats fine with me, people can believe whatever they want, just keep it in your own lives.

Like I said earlier, I bet you're still going to the Dr.'s office when you get sick to get your medicine & getting a surgery when you need it, taking full advantage of that there "devil science". Whatta joke.

The internet offers you easy access to crackpots that will say whatever you want to hear if you phrase the google search right. I can prove that jews didn't die in WWII, I can prove that Jesus didn't exist, I can prove that Christianity is the most evil religion in the world, all from 'experts' that I found on the internet.

You're just mad because you only believe scientists with credentials and peer reviewed bodies of work. You just need to realize that scientists really don't know anything about anything (except for the ones you can look up on the internet, those guys are geniuses.... I mean, they kinda have to be. It's pretty hard to get your work published on the internet).

Seriously though, when did 1% of commentators on a subject become the final word on it? If you went to 100 doctors about a tumor and 99 said it was cancer, would you believe the one that said it was a mosquito bite and just ignore it until it killed you? It makes me sad for our country

I never said that & I def have a spiritual side. And I don't pretend that scientists know everything there is to know. I believe as humans, we're incapable of knowing these great mysteries, so there's no use in clinging to some old book written by a ton of different people & thinking you know something that you don't. It's a stupid notion.

And then to try to "educate" others on your nonsense & talk down to them like you've got all the answers just angers me even more. Yeah, you actually have as many answers as the rest of us. None. So just save us all the jargon & live your life to the fullest without trying to please some mystical sky-genie.

I see no good answers here, only anger and bigotry. What a shame
