I’m incredibly grateful to whoever put together this gallery of pictures from the Creation Museum because there is no way I could ever walk round that place with a straight face. I’d be lynched (or crucified, perhaps) for rolling around of the floor laughing. Comedy on such a scale that little bits of wee would be coming out.
I’d recommend you take a look at some of the pictures in the gallery, it’s a real eye opener to the levels of ignorance Christians are willing to partake in just to perpetuate their beliefs. For example, take a look at this image and tell me how any reasonable person can buy into the “God” side of things. Especially bearing in mind that we know, 100% that the world is older than 6000 years. There are parts of the world older than that.
Another pearl of wisdom, in answering the question “How did dinosaurs fit on Noah’s Ark?” they came up with the following.
Most dinosaurs were reasonably small – the size of a sheep or pony, on average. Even large sauropods, as young adults, were not overly large. So Noah’s Ark had plenty of room for all the land animal kinds, including every dinosaur “kind”.
To really grasp the absurdity of that statement, you have to realize it sits pratically next to a model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, albeit a hugely scaled down version. Maybe even the Christians would find it hard to believe if they had a visual way of comparing a T Rex to the Ark. And lets be clear, there are so many things wrong with that sentence, I don’t really need to go on. Maybe if I just leave you with the thought that if the average size of a dinosaur is that of a sheep or pony, what are the extremes of the set? Considering we know the Diplodocus was 60 feet tall. So to be clear, the ark would have been about the size of an average American town. Believable.
That’s just shameful. Creationists use such twisted logic to make their explanations fit with their crude beliefs, when the real answer is beautifully simplistic: evolution by means of natural selection.
In addition, ask them this question about Noah’s Ark: How do you account for all of the insects?
There are approximately 5,000 dragonfly species, 2,000 praying mantis, 20,000 grasshopper, 170,000 butterfly and moth, 120,000 fly, 82,000 true bug, 360,000 beetle, and 110,000 bee, wasp and ant species described to date. Estimates of the total number of current species, including those not yet known to science, range from two million to fifty million, with newer studies favouring a lower figure of about six to ten million.
