Tyrannosaurus rex was vegetarian and lived alongside humans, the Creation Museum claims. :rotfl: Those are some sharp-looking plant teeth, Mr. Rex! I will Belive!! ========= Seriously, those people are quite messed up in the head.:yep: |
Hey! Most vegetarians I know have a grumpy side.

In Kentucky?
Buy one ticket, and your sister gets in for free. |
When the Dollar devalues that will be the first property I'll buy with my gold bars. I'll combine the robots with the Japanese Mechwarrior (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL7QnCAmcWQ) and create a Dino-hunter theme-park with giant walking robots.

Don't see much of that here, Rose :up:
good man |
Heared of it before. Please nobody expect me to take these people serious. Dangerous - yes, serious - never.
The little daughter of my parent's neighbours sometimes spend time with them (my mum has a huge and beautiful garden on the balcony), and when I was there one day during autumn last year, TV showed a short report on "documentation films" made by creationists. It was hilarious statements, pseudo-scientific babbling, and illustration that reminded me of the old Ray Harryhausen movies :lol: The girl, seven years old, watched it a bit from the side while observing some insects on the flowers, and when the report was finished she just said: "Sind die dumm oder noch klein?" (Are they stupid, or are just too young?) My Mum and me bursted with laughter. Promising child - I have started to teach her chess. :D |
Don't know if the rest of the world get's "Family Guy", but this clip just about sums it up- :D

That place has gotta be a good laugh.

This I copied over from anothe thread where I misplaced it completely. Bad day over here, I'm messing up everything I touch today...
---------- Creationists project quite some influence by the Christian right in the US. 2005 Bush agreed in public that their views should become part of official teaching in public schools. In Kansas, so says wikipedia, their views are taught in schools in fact, which lead to two major science associations withdrawing all their support in material and personnel from assisting public schools (which probably is exactly what creationists hoped to achieve). The American Civil Liberties Union commented on a law case they had over there, saying that they support the ruling from that case that teaching creationism in schools is violating the constitution. There were also a number of scandals concerning schools where creationists tried to enforce the teaching of their views even against valid laws and court rulings. Quote:
to make it clear, I do not attack a community that is peaceful, does not mistreat or abuse it's members and children, and does not run an agenda to take over a state, a nation, foreign cultures, and does not push it's ideas by propaganda, intrigues or violence. I do not know much about them (only what was said in that famous movie, "Witness"), but the Amish for example seem to be such a group. If they are like they were depicted in that movie - no problem for me. I may be wrong, I really don't know much more about them than what the movie said. But creationists as well - and even far more aggressive - scientologists are something different. I have identified them as a thread and for that reason consider them a valid target. I attack them wherever they stroll over my way. Aggressive sectarian missionaries occasionally appeared and still appear on my doorstep. when I do not play games with them and trap them with their own rhetorical cheats and tricks (after all I got some solid training in talking techniques, body language and hypno-therapy :) ), I kick them out. I am co-owner of the property and house I live in, so I have the right to speak out a sending-off as well as an unlimited prohibition of entering our place again (they aren't invited by anyone here, so they cannot claim a right for public access). Thankfully, there are also signs of reason: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/28/na...9143a6&ei=5070 In past years, their were several scandals and incidents where creationists tried to push their agenda in schools. American medias often took and take nationwide notice of it. With economy and ecology mounting increasing problems in the foreseeable future, and by that raising existential fears amongst people, I expect political as well as religious extremism growing. The consequences from that will be felt on a global, international, intercultural level. Damn - I ruined the fun-fun-fun-party again... :-? |
Education may be good but I can't help thinking that some would classify that museum as being educational.
Actually I think it may be, I've learned a lot from it:huh: @Rose you carry on you can only form opinions properly by arguing. Also I think the idea of the Bible is it is meant to be taken literally. http://www.thebricktestament.com/the.../dt21_18a.html |
