Saw an article on the BBC website about the Creation Museum in Kenticky, US. Only to find out there is one i can visit here in the UK in Portsmouth. Unbelievable, i shall be popping there sometime soon for a good chuckle. On their website it states, topics covered include -
- A study of genetics shows that all humanity came from one man and one woman.
- Geological sediments are laid down rapidly.
- The present day forms remain unchanged from their fossil counterparts.
If anyone wants a look. http://www.genesisexpo.co.uk/links.html

Lol. It is amazing what nonsense some people still believe in this modern day of reason -haven’t these people heard of inbreeding depression? Wouldn’t their offspring [of the supposed “first” man and woman] have to have repeatedly committed incest to allow the continuation of the human species?

“…The Creation Science Movement is the …”
-a self-contradiction in name.
“…founded in 1932 as the Evolution Protest Movement by leading members of the Victoria Institute who were concerned at the scientific, ethical and theological consequences that belief in Evolution brings to society.
…”
Apparently one thing they were not concerned about (made evident by the absence of mention from the above extract) was whether or not the theory is actually true.
And I like the way they call themselves the “Evolution Protest Movement” (it does seem to comically imply to me that they were ‘protesting’ against, what was even in those days, practically a known proven fact); I wonder if there was ever a “Round-Earth Protest Movement”? or a “Newtonian physics Protest Movement”?
-quite amusing.

Morons think that investing in space flight is a waste of money while they don't mind throwing billions down the rat-hole of war because they are literally incapable of looking up. If we only did love our children.

Originally posted by FabianFnasNo, Fabian, they were not creationists, let us be quite clear, they were scientists, and at the time 1987? the theory gained wide acceptance, however, from what i understand, there was some doubt cast on its premise, for it was based on the supposition that Mitochondrial DNA, was exclusively inherited from ones mother, which seems not to have been entirely the case. Now if scientists are to research and publish such theories, you cannot blame others for taking the same data and applying it to their own theory can you?

Behe lives, peace be upon him, for there are both arguments and counter arguments and counter arguments to the counter arguments which seek to counter the counter counter arguments!

Originally posted by FabianFnasyes apparently so, but hey, "science" is a very broad trem, and evolution has never stood firm, ever since ol Darwin got freaked out by the fossil record 🙂
