Oh the embarassment
How in the name of all that is rational do they get off calling that place a 'museum'?
( Heffrey wants to show you his wood at SmileMoon.etsy.com, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 18:49, archived)

A museum is a "permanent institution in the service of society
and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education, enjoyment, the tangible and intangible evidence of people and their environment".
( M3Essential and The Essentials. LIVE!, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 18:50, archived)

My bad, then
I usually associated the institution of a museum as being a place that exhibits things of a scientific nature and also goes on to explain their function or origin in a way that is tested and researched to support their pedigree. I'm not the best at putting it into words, I know, but I thought a that the purpose of such a place was to show us what stands up to scientific scrutiny.

And besides, why does that place have a "Dinosaur Den"? I don't remember much about them in the bible!

But then unicorns are in the Bible as well, and dragons.
(Bob the Scutter, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 19:20, archived)

What about werewolves?
cos I've heard that the co-existence of dinosaurs and man is claimed to be proven by legends of dragons in every culture, but lots of cultures have a werewolf myth of some kind, with a change in animal depending on where they are.

So, do werewolves exist? Creationists say YES!
(Sciuridae with Paridae wants to do a poo at Paul's, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 19:49, archived)

Legends of Dragons in every culture?
Every one?

You mean to tell me that Hindus, Tazmanians, Inuits, Iraqis, Welsh, ancient Greeks, and even Ethiopians have legends of dragons that they tell tales about?

Don't know about the werewolves, either.

Not professing any one belief over another, here. Just rambling...
( Heffrey wants to show you his wood at SmileMoon.etsy.com, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 20:01, archived)

I'm sure there are vampires too if you look!
As for the dragons, its not unreasonable to think that these legends came about *because* of dinosaur bones. You can find them in just about any country on Earth (in the right place) and a decent skeleton is rather obviously some kind of giant lizard.
This has been seriously suggested more than once, can't think of a reference off the top of my head though.
(Bob the Scutter, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 20:03, archived)

I just had a look, and appaerently, there ARE werewolves in the Bible!
Couldn't find any vampires, but I wouldn't be too sure.

So, if dragons are dinosaurs we met, what the feck are the werewolves?

-ish. But not contradictory to the evidence. You can having something intangible in a museum (a presentation of an idea - like relativity), you can't make up a load of crap and call it science. You need evidence. They have none. End of.

They send us their books from time to time, it's always hilarious, as if we're going to shelve a book making out Darwin and our scientists are Nazis in a library holding original papers of his.

Origin.....

I'm surprised it's only worth 25K. One was sold for that about 10 years ago, should have gone up by now!

Incidentally the dullest book I have ever read. It took me 10 years to get past the first 5 pages. Kind of felt I had to, but it is soooo boring.

it's so funny that they get their tits in a twist over evolution, you can see it in a human lifetime

there's even a new species of mosquitos in the underground

and wasn't there something about some species of moths developing black spots when the industrial smoggy shit built up and then losing them when the pollution and smog died down in aaaald laandaan town or something like that

oh well, the universe is only 6000 years old HAHAHA twats :)

the moths one has been back and fourth loads....
but it is absolutely dead on. A colossal amount of research has been poured into it and everything fits perfectly. A great piece of science actually.

Can you give a source for that statistic?
How many were asked?

What question was actually asked?

How widespread, geographically, was the census taken?
( Mystery_Bob, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 18:52, archived)

I'm not surprised by the outcome
Just disappointed.

Very disappointed.
( Heffrey wants to show you his wood at SmileMoon.etsy.com, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 18:57, archived)

I am just wondering the validity of the statement
and where it came from.

Statistics are often misrepresented and the misrepresentations are repeated without anyone having a clue what the original data was all about.

This happens at least 68.9% of the time.

I am fairly sure asking people about Saddam Hussein in the shadow of the Creation Museum in Kentucky, would yield completely different data from asking people in Berkeley, CA.

Without a reference for statements like, "7 out of 10 Americans believe...", they mean nothing.
( Mystery_Bob, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 19:01, archived)

The Washington Post first held the poll
2 years after the attacks. I'm looking for more details...
( M3Essential and The Essentials. LIVE!, Thu 6 Sep 2007, 19:02, archived)

I got it off the washington post
The article was published in 2003. The exact figure was something like 69%.

I imagine it would be lower now, and I don't think that Americans are on average, any more stupid than any one else

do you have a birth certificate to back that up?
Anytime I have to do something official they ask me a copy of my pass (40 pages of high tech anti-couterfeit) AND an authenicated copy of my birth certificate, which is a costly pain in the ass to get but very easy to counterfait.

Do they expect them to be different?
