Shit. Most of the post got cut.

Creationist museum from AiG is infamous for having a dickless Adam figure in it, IIRC. After that, little else needs to be said.

Ya know, I recall one day when I watched one of those Kent Hovind videos, and one of the points (this is actually funny folks-) he makes is that back before the flood, the air pressure was higher, so that the animals could get bigger because there was more oxygen concentrated in their blood. After the flood, the air was thinner, and so they could get as big. In short, if you take a standard run of the mill horny toad, and stick it in a "pre-flood" atmosphere, it'll balloon up and become a triceratops.

Now, yes, at the time I knew it was complete bullshit, and I kinda snickered at it, but I thought the idea was pretty original.

And then I saw a MST3K slam of a B-movie that centered around the EXACT same concept: When exposed to the atmosphere of a Near-earth asteroid (vacuum) a person will shrink to about the size of Tom Thumb.

Conclusion: creationists learn science by watching stupid B-movies.

The Phantom Planet. And the "asteroid" was a piece of granola.

All of them are not impressive from the perspective of 21st century science.

So poor YHWH's out of business then?
Damn.
