One of the Creation Museum’s New Billboards Features a Human and a Dinosaur…

They look better than most of our billboards u_u

That raptor wouldn’t be so BA if it had feathers like the real one. >.< I guess when you live in fantasy all the time you can make how ever you want.

I live in Orlando and they just added one on I-4 East near Universal. It’s pretty ridiculous. It says something like “Just 902 miles away in the greater Cincinnati area!” 

According to Ham, “We have never seen billboards like this before.  They were designed using a comic book style…” 

Fitting, oh so fitting.

Because Creationism is about as realistic as what happens in comic books.

I am not a Biblical creationist, but one trip when I went out to Fort Worth from the west coast, I drove down to see the human/dinosaur excavations at Glen Rose, TX.  To satisfy all the scoffers, they invited the news media from Fort Worth and Dallas down to record them excavating the next 10 feet.  The media came down, and with their cameras recording, they excavated the next 10 feet next to the small creek, and there were the human footprints right on top of the dinosaur prints.  Maybe the Creationist and the Evolutionist models are bothwrong.  Don’t scoff, until you look at their evidence.  Some of it was hard to document, but this part looked pretty strong.  I really dislike how atheists’ and evolutionists’ gut reaction is so often to call others stupid.  I’d rather be stupid than arrogant and close minded.

 The Glen Rose footprints (mostly) aren’t a hoax, just a case of confirmation bias.

A small number of the ones sold are carved, but most of them are just mistaken identity.

They do look, vaguely, like human footprints but the actual morphology is wrong. They are actually just other dinosaur footprints that have been deformed, where mud his infilled the outer toes and left the deep middle part.

I, personally, don`t think the people expounding these tracks are stupid, just letting their hopes and dreams get in the way. We all do this. To this day I find myself still believing in the Loch Ness Monster, despite all the evidence against,  simply because I want it to be true so badly…

We have one of these that just went up by our store in Oklahoma 🙁  I cringe every time I leave work.

That silhouette  looks an awful lot like Eric Hovind. I can’t imagine a better spokesperson.

 I thought their Brachiosaur one looked off, but I couldn’t quite pinpoint it. I saw your post and googled Diplodocid and I think you’re right.

 I am not dismissing this because it is stupid, I’m dismissing this because all it proves is that a human, at one point in history, stepped in the same plot of dirt a dinosaur once stood on. If there was any truth to the assertion of coexistence  then it would be common place to find footprints, tools, human remains or any evidence at all of human habituation in the same layers of strata as fossilized dinosaur bones.  Not only are human remains not found in the same layers, modern day forms of wildlife and domesticated animals are also absent.

How is it  a creature that coexisted with humans and all other manner of beast is isolated in sediment; all by it self? It’s almost as if they don’t exist in the same place and time.

This ‘discovery’ will go the way of the ‘Dinosaur saddle’ they discovered back in 2009, Noah’s Ark which they found about 6 times in a 50 year span in several different locations, the Ark of the Covenant in 1978, the actual location of Sodom and Gomorrah in 1989, and the wealth of evidence proving the red sea crossing.

I think this is great!  Ham & Co. are looking more and more ridiculous, and they’re doing it to themselves.

The dragon looks a lot like the (blazing?) brachiosaur with lipstick.

Here’s the Ken Ham explanation for fire-breathing dragons, you ready for this? It’s really stupid, I warn you, it could cause brain damage if you read it.

Ahem, after the flood, since dinosaurs had such a large lung capacity, they were forced to breath more rapidly. The rapid breathing caused their breath to ignite the air, and therefore fire-breathing dragons were really just dinosaurs.

Orrr… maybe you are unaware of the overwhelming mountains of evidence in support of evolution, and need to take a good, long look at yourself and ask yourself why you suddenly doubt decades upon decades of science all because there was a footprint somewhere that vaguely resembled a human’s occupying the same general space as that of a dinosaur.

I hate the Creation Museum billboards because they’re so damn good. Look at that billboard and imagine you’re a little kid just getting excited about the concept of dinosaurs. I live near enough to pass their billboards often and I dread the day my kids says: “Can we go there and see the dinosaurs?”

Fortunately I already have my answer: “No, but we can go to the zoo and see the Komodo Dragon, or we can go to the Museum Center and see the mammoth skeleton, or we can even go to King’s Island and see their dinosaurs, which are a lot bigger and better and have rides nearby.”

But really, I can see a lot of kids and their parents taken in by this billboard with no idea of the kind of horror show indoctrination center they’ll be walking into.

Yeah, that’s the problem. Heck, I’d like to just see billboards that exciting to children for the Cincinnati Zoo or Museum Center, let alone a decent atheist billboard (actually, the one they had here wasn’t bad, but was taken down when the property owner was threatened with violence).

What’s strange from a pure design standpoint is the effort they went to to make the brachiosaurus sign alliterative (really, “blazing”? What could be less blazing than a brachiosaurus), when they didn’t make the other signs alliterative. The Mighty T-Rex? Not terrifying, not terrible, terrific, titanic, tenacious, toothy, tall, whatever? The brave Triceratops? Dinosaurs are brave now? What about tough, or any of those earlier t words? Obviously they’re all scientifically illiterate, but it seems that an otherwise decent design group couldn’t come up with consistently decent copy. What idiot decides that they should have the least apt adjective possible just because it’s alliterative, but not be alliterative elsewhere?

its ok when u on drugs

 My head already hurts reading such things like that! Such stupidity!

I don’t think that’s from Ham.  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sK6tkcxAHIw Ham talks about belching methane.  It is freakin’ funny though.

Carbon dating is one of the techniques and there’s other more precise means, but yeah a creationnist will never really get that…

 No way in hell he said that.

I think it was Kent Hovind, but I definitely remember that explanation being put forth.

 I would visit but i’d be worried i’d catch something – gizmodo.com.au/2012/05/religious-websites-are-worse-for-your-computer-than-porn-sites/

Even if it wasn’t FAKED, i have seen documentaries where someone tried standing in the “Footprints” & they were literally Twisted up. He said at the time ,WHY would early man have stood like this? It’s not natural,lol;-[)

Orrr…because dozens of years of evolutionary thinking is wrong. Just from memory…(1.) Newton’s model of an infinite and eternal universe..wrong.  (2.) Birds to Dinosaurs or Dinosaurs to birds? (both wrong,actually) (3.) “Lucy” …wrong would be nice. Contrived is more fitting. The knee joint “proving” her bi-pedal, was not with the skeleton…it was found several miles away. (4.) Nebraska man…um yeah, we have a wonderful story and history of this “early man” all from one tooth…and that is from a PIG! Yet, you godless little fools like to imagine that it’s possible AND keep indoctrinating children with your religion. Yeah, I said it…you have a horrible religion all based on the crap that Eramus taught little Charlie.

Science is ( or should be) both observable and repeatable…you have neither with your religion of evolution.

From swirling clouds of dust and rock and gas ( all inanimate elements) we have an explosion that left us with finches and German Shepards and wombats…and they’re all from inanimate objects…therby breaking the Law of Biogenesis.

This is pointless. Not one of you pinheads can articulate a scientific point or show any proof. None. Nada. Zip.

Snide little comments only.
 

Hello there mister O’Reilly, do you have some evidence to support your claims?

“This is pointless. Not one of you pinheads can articulate a scientific point or show any proof. None. Nada. Zip. ”

And you as a great expert you have all of forementionned proof? Or ist it the good ol’ “I don’t get it, skydaddy must’ve made it”?

You not only conflate evolution with the origin of the universe and the origin of life, but you misrepresent current widely accepted understanding.  E.g. the clouds of dust came after the big bang, not before.

Science never claims to have everything right.  That assurance belongs to religion.  Until it finally admits, 400 or so years later, that yes, the earth actually does revolve around the sun.

Molecular genetics gives us the ability to do a detailed comparison between any two living things, and these comparisons all map to a ‘tree’ diverging from a common ancestor.  Chimps are more closely related to us than to gorillas.

That is an observation that is repeatable.

(Edit: perhaps by ‘explosion’ you mean Cambrian, not big bang. I take that one back then)

” (1.) Newton’s model of an infinite and eternal universe..wrong.”

It was Einsteins favorite as well. They were both wrong, according to the evidence we’ve gained since then. The fact that he was able to posit the idea and compare it to others to find the proper one is one of the greatest strengths of science. I would say the fact that he was wrong is a good thing.

“(2.) Birds to Dinosaurs or Dinosaurs to birds? (both wrong,actually)”

All the evidence points to “Dinosaurs to birds.” What’s your evidence which so easily disproves this?

“(3.) “Lucy” …wrong would be nice. Contrived is more fitting.”

All the parts that formed Lucy were found within a 100 yard radius. Since then, more skeletons have been found of the same species which exactly match Lucy’s physiology, within normal species variation (male to female, young to old, family traits, etc.). Lucy is valid.

“(4.) Nebraska man…”

Yes, that was a fraud. Websites which still mention Nebraska man acknowledge it as such, except for creationist websites for which it’s convenient to pretend the scientific community still accepts it.

Have you studied evolution at all? It is possible to directly observe speciation in organisms with extremely short life spans, and these kinds of experiments have been repeated. It’s possible to use evolutionary theory to predict when a certain type of creature likely existed based on it’s predecessors and ancestors, which will tell us where in the geological column to look for it. This has been done numerous times, Lucy is just one example.

I see you’re a purveyor of the inimitable “CreationWiki,” with your comment on the “Law of Biogenesis.” There is no such law, simply due to the fact that it is so obviously contradicted by the evidence. This evidence being that, even in the creationist worldview, abiogenesis must have occurred at some point (In your case, “God did it”).

Snide little comments is right, but they’re not coming from us.

Way to cherry-pick certain mistakes science has made, and put all the focus there.

Also, I’ll just leave this here: http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html (Any and all arguments against evolution, thoroughly refuted with evidence and citations.)

You’re welcome.

 “If you read the first 30 or so comments on this article, they are from “your” side.”

As opposed to aggressive and baseless comments from “your side” that call people pinheads? Oh wait, that was you…

I’m not a paleontologist by any stretch, but I’ve been reading books about dinosaurs since I was 5. That ain’t no Brachiosaurus.

Then again, this is an organization dedicated to promoting creationism. I guess we should thankful that the friggin’ thing has four legs.

BTW, Jesse, has anyone pointed out the irony of a person named Sinclair talking about dinosaurs? LOL

I don’t mean to sound mean in any sort of way, but from the comments I have been reading, there isn’t just a difference in opinion here.  It seems like most people here are attacking Creationists and people that do not believe in evolution.  And, I believe that just reading over the comments posted above shows that Creationists are being attacked a lot by Athiests, too.
