It has. I've known about it for a few years, usually as a counter by YECs whenever I brought up talkorigins links. It can be entertaining to read, if you're masochistic about that sort of thing.

Yes, but now they've got a museum set to open in 07. I think we should have a little SDN fieldtrip...

.Seriously, i find this crap morbidly entertaining and I can't wait to see this multimillion doller pile of tripe first hand.

It's been posted and remarked upon and remarked many times before. A search of the archive board, I think, will turn up a number of hits.

Is it free?

Seriously, as much fun as if a bunch of creationist whackos opened a museum near where I live, I wouldn't pay them money just so I can humiliate them. I should be able to do that for free.

Why not do it to cost them more money?

Go in, take lots of pictures, post it on the web with full debunking

Now that's the way to do it. Free is nice, but a mentioned earlier, I've got a morbid fascination with it. I'd probably pay to see it. It's kind of like a train wreck in slow motion, you don't want it to happen, and you wouldn't pay for someone to make it happen, but you watch anyway, because, in a terrible terrible way, it's realy realy cool.

Funny. I didn't find any answers. Just evasions.

Or lies. But then fundies tell you to refute every line, or else you're wrong.

But when you link to talkorigins? They just link to AiG.

Sometimes I find it amusing to link to my own site, then point out that you can't be lazy and cite a link to somebody else's writings as if you've proven your point, wait for them to say "you did that too!" and then tell them I wrote the site.

Of course not, that's because there's No Answers In Genesis!

It's still supposed to be the literal history of the Earth. As for the rules of the OT, they apply or don't apply depending on the whims of whichever Christian you're talking to and what topic they're arguing.

I linked to your site, and the moron said that because you were a mechanical engineer (not a biologist) and you don't have a gigantic list of cited sources, you weren't crdible.

Personally, I always reference this:

Oath from http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/ar ... /faith.asp "By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."

Riiiiight. We're supposed to accept the authority of a source that's commanded to lie if reality disagrees with it.

i guess that means we can't accept the fact that the earth is round as valid. it conflicts with scripture after all.

If they follow standard religious procedure, they'll probably let you in the door for free but then try to guilt trip you into giving donations every five minutes.

Wouldn't the passage concerning the sky as a molten looking glass mean the Earth is flat, and covered by a copper dome (assuming that's what they meant by "looking glass")?

I like that rule. Since the Bible contradicts itself, this rule means that the Bible cannot be valid.

And so they went on to prove that black was white and were crushed by a herd of Zebras.

Sounds like Newspeak - Orwell would be provide.
