Flintstones, Meet The Flintstones

Now Assemblyman Mike Doherty has a place to visit and learn all about creationism.

Just when you thought the right-wing religious fundamentalists couldn't do anything else more goofy, they have opened a museum in Kentucky (where else?) dedicated to the 'fact' that man and dinosaur stood side by side, not more than 6,000 years ago.

Yup, Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Dino were all real to these folks.


The Genesis Creation Museum presents a
“walk through history. Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life.” Of course, here Darwin is the anti-Christ ---so to speak. He is vilified every step of the way with multi-screen video projections and animotronics Walt Disney himself would envy.

The exhibits have names like
“Culture in Crisis”, which shows a suburban house with several windows where museum goers can ‘look in’ on a typical American household challenged by today’s ‘culture’ corrupted by Darwin and evolution.

The first window shows two boys looking at porn and doing drugs; the second window shows a teen girl crying while looking at a pamphlet on abortion; and the third window shows a wife and husband arguing. Apparently, the museum designers seem to have no problem with people looking in the windows of their neighbors, as long the issue is the evil of evolution.

Other exhibits are called
“God’s Word versus Human Reason”, “Trail of Life” (which show dinosaurs walking right along with Adam and Eve), and “the Six Cs of History” [creation, corruption, catastrophe, confusion, Christ and the final C, ‘consummation’ ---the Apocalypse. Of course, someone should tell them that Apocalypse begins with an “A”.] Even the cafĂ© has a theme, “Noah’s Cafe”. Maybe on the menu are pairs of sandwiches made from of every kind of animal.

Perhaps the Republican Presidential candidates who don’t believe in evolution (Brownback, Tancredo and Huckabee) could join Assemblyman Mike Doherty and his family on a vacation there, as a respite from their busy campaign schedules.



If you go, tell them Fred and Barney sent you.

Setting Creationism and Science Straight!

A new brand of creationism, which creationists and secular science
are not familiar with is "Biblical Reality", which is better known as
the "Observations of Moses".

This "Old Earth" brand of creationism puts forth the view that
combines a seven 24-hr day week of original creation (Exodus 20:11),
with a separate “six 12-hr days of revelation” given to Moses
(Genesis 1:2 – 2:3). The pseudo discrepancy between the “sixth day”
in Genesis chapter one and in chapter two is explained as chapter two
being the beginning of modern mankind (Adam & Eve), and chapter
one as being an earlier species of prehistoric mankind in an earlier
restoration period, more than 60 million years ago.

Biblical Reality is defined as the "ordained marriage" of Biblical
Truth, and Scientific Reality. Think of Biblical Truth as historical,
present, or future data (information) that has been given to us by
the words written in the Bible, or what we shall call "The Printed
Word of God". Events which took place in the past, that we may
not presently be able to confirm outside of the Bible.

Scientific Reality is defined as “That which has been discovered and
analyzed to be of true historical existence. That which has been
observed to be a real occurrence or phenomena, whether or not it
can be explained.” For example, the discoveries of the extinctions
of life on Earth in what has been determined to be 245 Million BC
(dimetrodons) and 65 Million BC (dinosaurs) is accepted as Scientific
Reality.

Biblical Reality teaches that there are no “creation accounts” in
Genesis, and that “Moses Didn’t Write About Creation!”. What
is actually being said is “Moses wrote about Restoration”. Before
the advent of “Biblical Reality”, no faction of creationism could
explain both the “first day” of Moses and the “Fourth Day”, all
being 24-hr days, without either denying literal interpretation or
“redefining” the scriptures.

The “six days of Moses” in Genesis chapter one are actually six
consecutive (12 hour) days in 1598 BC that God revealed to Moses
(on Mt. Sinai) from the ancient past. Each day was from the first
week of each of seven different geological eras in “biblical order”.
The only day of Creation Week which Moses saw was the
“Fourth Day”. Creation Week was 168 hours, in 4.6 Billion BC,
according to the geologist.
