Protest Outside the Creation Museum

I’d love to hear some Christians making the argument that this garbage steers thoughtful scientific thinkers away from Christ.

It’s not that it’s embarrassing to Christians who accept the science. Embarrassment is the least of the assaults Christians have had to endure over the ages. In the old days it was martyrdom, now it’s just embarrassment. No big deal, or it should be.

The problem is that this fake museum turns Christianity into a cartoon of hyucksters and snake oil salesmen.

Ham, Hovind, the three republicans with raised hands, the Discovery Institute et al make Christianity look to outsiders like a religion of flat-earthers and magical thinkers not a single step removed from witch-doctors and superstitious talisman waivers.

These clowns chase people away from Christ in droves.

I live in Northern Kentucky myself, only about 12-14 miles or so from this uber-insult called the “Creationism Museum”, and I live in the town that many of them are booking hotels in. I might pay the protest a visit myself since this appals me very badly.

This is against modern knowledge, actual history and what historians know and believe, against science and reason, and education. This is also a sign of terrible things to come, as it shows potential for a Christian-based fascism (which is a problem, rather you are Christian or not)…

And Now Virgina Tech, who is next?

When I first heard of the April 20, 1999 massacre in Littleton,
Colorado, my reaction was shock, horror, and grief — grief over the
lives lost, grief at the suffering of the families, and grief over
what has happened to our country. Why is this happening?

An Oregon school fell victim to a murderer who with intent, went
into the school to slaughter fellow students. October of 1998, a 16-
year-old in Pearl, Mississippi killed his mother then shot 9
students, killing two of them. December of 1998, a 14-year-old boy
killed 3 students in Paducah, KY, wounding others in a student-led
prayer meeting. The “experts” consoled us that this is a rare event.

Once is an “instance,” twice would be a “co-instance,” three or more
establishes a “pattern.” A 15-year-old girl was hanged and pummeled
by fellow students, because they feared she was going to “snitch” on
them.

In Springfield, OR, a 15-year-old murders his parents in their home,
then turns his weapons on students in his school, killing one,
critically injuring others as “he just mowed ’em down.” Strangely, a
scene in Terminator II, may shed some light on “Why is this
happening?”

The Terminator was about to kill a man who was simply trying to help
the young John Conner. The Terminator was stopped by John Conner and
ordered, by Conner, not to “kill” people. The Terminator
replied, “Why?” And Conner insisted, “You just can’t go around
killing people!” Again the Terminator asked, “Why?” Conner in
frustration said, “You just can’t…!” Conner answered with no
foundational absolutes, which means he was only expressing his
opinion. “Why not murder?” is equally a valid question in a society
with no absolutes.

Our nation’s schools have been emancipated from absolute standards
by ignoring our Creator God. Our youth are taught that we, by
chance, evolved from primordial soup. They are simply re-arranged
pond scum, with no real worth to the world, no purpose, no hope, and
no meaning what-so-ever! Is it any wonder that suicide is one of the
leading causes of death among teens? Our youth are acting
consistently with what they have been taught.

According to the Evolution belief system, human life has no more
meaning than a blade of grass. We mow our lawns, so why not mow down
our fellow man — what’s the difference? Hitler applied the same
evolutionary logic to the people of Europe. We rid our homes of
unwanted vermin, why not rid the world of unwanted humans — what’s
the difference? This atheistic/evolutionary philosophy of our day is
the logical foundation and justification for this “cruel” behavior
because there are no moral absolutes.

What is the solution? What can we do? We must expose evolution as
the pseudo-science it is, teaching our children that they are not a
conglomeration of random chance accidents, but rather are created in
the very image of God. Then we must teach our children that there
are moral standards we abide by set by our Creator God.

In observing the events of the last few years, it appears to me that the defenders of evolution are the ones who don’t want people to really investigate what the truth is. They seem to want to stifle investigation and debate. In the past, those who weren’t sure whether their position could withstand scrutiny were the ones who tried to stifle debate and hinder open investigation. Why can’t problems with evolutionary theory be seriously considered by the public? Why are scientists shunned and dismissed who question what seems to be the rigid religion of evolution?

Iztok,
I think you missed my point. My question is, “Why isn’t the public allowed to know about the serious discussions that are taking place within the scientific community about the problems with evolution?” The ferocity is interesting with which anyone, including scientists, is attacked for pointing out places where evolutionary theory doesn’t fit or suggesting other possibilities that would fit the facts.
As to me coming up with a whole theory on my own, no one person came up with the theory of evolution on their own — I don’t know why a person who disagrees with evolution has the burden of coming up with an explanation for all the facts by himself.
Thanks for your response.
