Creation's Kentucky Funhouse

from DEFCON (The Campaign to Defend the Constitution) at http://www.defconblog.org/

This Memorial Day, the religious right will launch one of the most outrageous campaigns to date in their war on science: the $27 million “Creation Museum” in Petersburg, Kentucky.

The “Museum,” which was built by the religious right organization Answers in Genesis (AiG), is dedicated to the falsehood that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, claims that humans and dinosaurs coexisted a few thousand years ago, and has but one goal: to institutionalize the lie that science supports these fairytales.

While AiG has the right to spend $27 million promoting a lie, it is imperative that as concerned citizens we let America know the true dangers of their nefarious campaign.


------ and now for my .02

You know, 27 MILLION is a LOT of Money but one good thing about this project is that's 27 million they won't be spending on fighting Hate Crime legislation or other lobbying efforts to gain control of the government! My suggestion is that we all visit the "museum" and have a good laugh at their expense. I mean it's gotta have some REALLY amusing exhibits as they try to put the square peg of Biblical myth into the round hole of scientific fact.
