June is going to be crazy busy for me, but I might be able to do something the first weekend of July or so.  Any takers?

I've still not seen Spiderman 3, and I'm really not very sad about it.

No!  There's no liberal bias in the media!

Creation Museum opens to thousands

Tue May 29, 9:54 AM ET

PETERSBURG, Ky. - A museum that tells the Bible's version of Earth's history — that the planet was created in a single week just a few thousand years ago — attracted thousands to its opening as protesters rallied outside.
ADVERTISEMENT

The dozens of demonstrators argued Monday that the Creation Museum's central tenets conflict with scientific evidence that the Earth is several billion years old. Overhead, an airplane pulled a banner with the message: "Thou Shalt Not Lie."

The privately funded museum had more than 4,000 guests on opening day, said Mark Looy, a co-founder of the $27 million facility 20 miles southwest of Cincinnati. The parking lot was filled with license plates from dozens of states.

"The guests were very happy with the museum experience," Looy said. "Of course, we had some naysayers come through and engage us in conversation, and that's fine — we want them."

Lawrence Krauss, an author and physicist at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University, decided to view the museum firsthand.

"It's really impressive — and it really gives the impression that they're talking about science at some point," Krauss said. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being best, "I'd give it a 4 for technology, 5 for propaganda. As for content, I'd give it a negative 5."

The museum features high-tech exhibits designed by a theme-park artist, including animatronic dinosaurs and a wooden ark at least two stories tall, plus a special effects theater and planetarium.

Some exhibits show dinosaurs aboard Noah's Ark and assert that all animals were vegetarians until Adam committed the first sin in the Garden of Eden.


How come they find only one person to interview and it's a critic?  Also why can't I call evolution exhibits in the Science and Industry Museum "propaganda" like this jerk did?

And one more thing!  When someone gives you a scale...like on a scale of one to five...you can't give something a negative 5!  That's not in the scale!  Looks like someone needs to go back to 2nd grade...maybe they'll teach actual math and science there as well!

Every news article or TV story I've seen about the Creation Museum has been hugely negative.  The amount of negative bias against the museum is so strong as to be unmistakably evident.

I was able to go there on Monday, and it deserves nothing less than an A+.   

The museum part took us about 2.5 hours to go through and it could easily have been longer. It was very professionally done.  Flatscreens were at nearly every exhibit, which were all beautiful and many times they even had the evolutionary models displayed next to the creation model for comparison.  I also feel like they did a really nice job covering all the sections for creation, going over many important things like starting point biases, ice age, genetic distribution, bible history, etc. 

There was a special effects theater with a half hour movie that was spectacular.  I didn't get to see the planetarium though, maybe next time.  Grin

My rating.. 10/5

AP Newsbreak: Creation Museum's 'Adam' shared sexual exploits online

Associated Press - June 7, 2007 3:25 PM ET

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The man picked by the Creation Museum to play Adam leads quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden.

Records show that Eric Linden owns a pornographic web site called "Bedroom Acrobat."

He's been pictured there in a T-shirt brandishing the site's sexually suggestive logo.

Linden grew up in Columbus.

The 27-year-old appears as Adam in 1 of 55 videos featured on visitor tours at the Petersburg, Kentucky museum.

The museum -- which opened last month -- tells the Bible's version of how Earth was created.

Museum officials today stopped airing the 40-second video after learning from The Associated Press of Linden's online appearances.

Linden tells the AP that he is no longer affiliated with the site.


This would never make the actual news in anything...if only it wasn't a Christian museum.  Let's see how many people actually care about this story.

Wow, talk about trashy journalism!  They must've really dug deep to find that.
