The Dumbest People in America got together to celebrate the opening of the Grand Idiocy Center in Kentucky.
The museum opened at 10 a.m. with about 500 people in line and with license plates from 31 states and two Canadian provinces in the parking lot of about 600 spaces.
“The guests were very happy with the museum experience,” Looy said. “Of course, we had some naysayers come through and engage us in conversation, and that’s fine - we want them.
“We want skeptics and non-Christians to come here - we encourage that,” Looy said.
“I enjoyed it - it gives a lot of detail,” said Pam Bluhm of Plain City, Ohio, after she viewed the exhibits. “We brought several kids, they’re doing reports on it for school, so they took a lot of pictures, are taking notes.
“It helps get the younger kids back into staying with their religion,” Bluhm said.
“It’s really impressive - and it really gives the impression that they’re talking about science at some point,” said critic Lawrence Krauss, professor of physics and astronomy and director of the Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University.
On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being best, “I’d give it a 4 for technology, 5 for propaganda,” Krauss said. As for content, “I’d give it a negative 5.”
But wait, it gets better.
“ ‘What do you mean by mainstream science?’ is what I would say,” said Answers in Genesis president and co-founder Ken Ham. “By mainstream science, I would understand, ‘Oh, you study cells, you study genetics, you study the physical laws.’
“What we’re showing here is our scientists are mainstream scientists, and mainstream science confirms the Bible’s history - that’s what we’re saying,” Ham said. “I would say mainstream science is what this place is all about.”
“Most mainstream scientists aren’t atheists,” countered Martha Heil, editor and strategic planner with the American Institute of Physics. “Most mainstream scientists belong to one religion or another.
“Scientists of all faiths do great science,” Heil said. “The processes of science are built so that you leave your (religious) affiliation - just like you leave your partisanship for your favorite football or baseball team - at the door.
“Unfortunately, in this museum, they’ve started with a conclusion and gone and looked for facts that support that - and that’s not science,” Heil said.
“Right,” agreed Riehemann, standing beside her. “It’s just like the sophomore physics major who says, ‘I can’t solve this problem,’ I look in the back of the book, I see the answer that I want, and now I’ll do just any kind of manipulation to get that answer.”
But this is my favorite part.
Other exhibits showed dinosaurs aboard Noah’s Ark, and asserted that no animals, including dinosaurs, were meat-eaters until after Adam committed the first sin in the Garden of Eden.
“Before man’s fall,” according to one exhibit, “animals were vegetarians. In a ‘very good’ creation, no animal would die, so there were no carnivores.”
That’s right, folks. On Noah’s Ark there were two Tyrannosaurus Rex, two brontosaurus, two velociraptors, and two mastadons. And since the flood took place long after Adam committed the fall of man, they must have been carnivorous. I wonder what they ate?

I’m sure that somewhere, Jesuits are rolling on the floor, laughing their asses off, as they see absolute proof of their perfected brainwashing techniques taken to their retarded extreme by fundies.....

If this guy believes that, is not not advocating vegeteranism (perhaps even veganism)?

Well obvioulsy they ate the unicorns, that’s why there are none left, duh!!!!!! Don’t you know skience?????

Not to make you look stupid or anything Lee but, the Bible actually says that animals didn’t eat meat until AFTER the flood. Of course you wouldn’t know that though, because it’s a lot easier to sit in your ivory tower and assume you are always right instead researching it.

That would make all the difference in the world. That proves dinosaurs were on the ark. Bet you feel like the retard now, Lee.
I don’t know why I read this blog if Lee is such an idiot, sheesh. EVERYONE knows that T-Rex was an herbivore until after the flood. I sure wish I was on the ark so I could have had one as a pet ...
You both miss the point. Lee was trying to show how stupid creationists are by pointing out an apparent inconsistency in the story of Noah. Problem is, that isn’t actually what the story says. When someone tries to look intellectually superior with a statement like his they should at least know what they are talking about.
So yes, I think it makes Lee look kind of dumb when makes fun of people for something they don’t believe. More than anything else though, it shows his real lack of knowledge on the topic.

The entire idea of Noah’s Ark is just as ignorant and retarded whether or not the animals were carnivores before or after the flood. Trying to prove Lee wrong on the minutae is not going to make your case.
I’ve been reticent in the past. I’m so sick of this shit that the gloves are now coming off.

I have a general knowledge of the content of the bible. I also have a general knowledge of dog shit. I don’t have to pick up a dog turd, study every crevice, sniff it, and lick it to know that it’s not something I want to consume. The same goes for the bible. I don’t have to read whether dinosaurs were on the Ark or not to know the whole thing is horseshit.
Everyone’s gonna hate me now. I’ve compared the bible to a dog turd and there’s no going back.
So be it. I’ll take the window seat on the handbasket to hell.
Dirk, normally I would agree, but no. I am a “God created the Universe with the Big Bang” type and I just don’t think the T-Rex made the boat in time. Maybe they had 5 oz. of shampoo ...
Hear, hear (daktrat).
By the way, creationists often argue that really big animals were taken on the ark young, or even in eggs. They have all the stupid details worked out already, and if they’re stumped by something, they’ll figure something out eventually.
IMO, the best way to refute the idiocy of Christianity is to go straight to its core. The God of the Bible is a logical impossibility, and it’s very easy to see if you don’t have blinders on. If a person can’t see it, fuck’em. Maybe they’ll figure it out some day.
What kind of God says “desires that everyone come to salvation”, but then puts a time limit on salvation (death, apparently), starts every individual out in widely different circumstances, waits 5000 years to send the savior, and says anyone who isn’t “saved” (the vast majority if you read the wide vs. narrow road verse) are going to roast in hell for all eternity (or if you read accurate translations maybe they are annihilated or possibly even everyone is saved eventually; but these beliefs are heresy in mainstream Christianity and Catholocism).
If any God exists, and expresses as much as love as Jesus supposedly did, there is no logical reason why that God wouldn’t ultimately save every being on Earth. Even if it took millenia of rehabilitation after death. Christianity is dogshit (a not to dakrat’s rant).
