The "Special Effects Theater" has Men in White. Why White? Why are they so special?

You can purchase Men in White on DVD in our online store.

Sounds like a link to Gay Pron.

Give me a home where the dinosaurs roam and the children play.

Is the state still subsiding this obviously religious institution with tax dollars?

Is the state still subsiding this obviously religious institution with tax dollars?

To my knowledge (I live in KY) it is not, although I hear there are quacks from all over the country that come to this thing, so I suppose there are some tourism dollars brought in.

I believe the state gave them 40 million directly in 2011 and the budget proposed an over 40 million in tax break for the 2012-2013 tax year along with over 10 million in road improvements for the park. Of course education spending was slashed, state police budget was cut and in general there were sizable cuts proposed to most state services.

Entrance fee is high to keep out gawkers and teenage vandals. -- not even close to a Creationist

They are angels sent to help the young woman believe. Have your angels not arrived yet?

Every time someone pays to get in, a new angel gets his wings.

What a money grab

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Lucy is the “poster girl” of human evolution, a member of the same family from which modern humans arose. At least that’s how artists present Lucy in secular museums.

Lol at "artists". Those scientists and their silly art.

No, you get upgraded to the premium membership package and an eternal pass to the creation museum in the clouds.

 

[NCCommish]

Because when we replace science with magic thinking we end up in trouble. When we indoctrinate future citizens with woefully inadequate scientific knowledge or mislead them to think science is evil we suffer as an economy and as a country.

Not at all. I also come down on people who do junk science and try to pass it off as good work. This is no different than junk science. It hurts more than it helps and it causes ignorance of real world science which is necessary to make real world decisions on policy.

freedom lets people make choices you or I disagree with

some would argue when we indoctrinate children with liberal ideals the same happens, others would argue conservative ideals do.

freedom, it is america

Does it bring in tourism money?

I mean, look at it this way, I'd understand the issue if they got money that was supposed to be for educational purposes. But if that money was for tourism purposes and the park brings in tourists, then does it matter as much?

By funding it the state is choosing to support a particular religious view. Do you think they would be giving an Islamic museum money?

If they could justify that it would bring in tourists and revenue to the area, I would assume that they would.

There isn't anyone there pushing to make an Islamic museum, though. Do you know why? Because there aren't millions and millions of "Islamic tourists" looking to go to a random museum in Kentucky. There are, however, TONS of Christians who would go to Kentucky (or already live there) who would go to something like this.

if by "dragon" you mean "giant lizards", then, yes, I think we all believe they existed. I'm so glad that we can finally get that cleared up.

We also have people who think we never landed on the moon, time travel has occurred, the sitting president is part of some grand Illuminati scheme to create a new world order (that one persists through presidents amazingly), and most obsurd of all, if i name any Hollywood hottie there will be a subset of people who think she is somehow below their level.

you are never gonna convince everyone, IF they want a place to gather and discuss their beliefs so be it.

Outrage over public schools teaching this stuff, that is well placed. This museum is simply not worth the time to disparage

They jumped really, really far. Or maybe they were dropped off at Ararat, Australia.

You can't possible support or defend any organization that teaches complete under the name of science can you?
