Kentucky Fried Science
Hallelujah! The Creation Museum opened yesterday, in the heart of Jesusland, AKA Petersburg, Kentucky. The $27 million, 60,000 square foot museum presents a literal interpretation of the Bible, complete with animatronic dinosaurs.
Never mind that dinosaurs are nowhere mentioned in the Bible. They were there! C'mon, don't you remember "The Flintstones," "B.C.," "Alley Oop"?
Besides, as professor Robert Riehemann points out, kids like the dinosaurs:
They've got a lot of beautiful animation to attract the kids. It's as believable as any fantasy science-fiction movie or museum that you'll see.
Especially plant-eating T Rexes with puppy dog eyes. Because the lawyer-eating kind depicted in "Jurassic Park" is just too scary. And just wrong! Hollyweird again trying to lead our vulnerable youth astray.
Oh, and Thou Shalt Have Dragons, too. Because dragons are cool.
So where are all the dinosaurs and dragons now? They're in heaven. They all died in the Great Flood, after drinking too much Jack Daniels and falling off the Ark.
