John Scalzi goes to the Creation Museum...

...and it's uniquely entertaining. It's heartening to me to hear him say that there were a few utterances of "oh, come on" overheard inside this edifice, but I see his photograph of the bus with "Stewart Home School" emblazoned on its side, and I shudder.

The upshot seems to be, it's all Adam's fault. Like, Scalzi said, "Eat a fruit and become responsible for the heat death of the Universe - God is MEAN."

But go read the whole thing. It's worth the trip.

To Scalzi's blog. Probably not the museum. Although I might actually pay the 20 bucks for the entrance ticket if only for the privilege of saying "Oh, come on" as I pause by every "exhibit".

I think I've said this before, but I *love* that they've got dinosaurs. If they had the right stuff when it comes to denial, they'd just deny there ever were such things as dinosaurs, but they can't; they'd lose their own children. Dinosaurs are just too cool not to have in the world.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what surrender in the culture wars looks like.

O. M. G.

And now my brain has finished exploding and dribbled out my ears.

The scary part? I was surfing for something else earlier, which had no relation to anything religious that I could tell--it was a news item about something fairly innocuous--and I was stupid enough to glance at the comments. Thousands of them. Loaded with "I believe in G-d, G-d's Word is LAW, You are all HEATHENS!!!!!" Only not as correctly spelled.

The Marching Morons. They are here.

That museum is amazing. Amazingly bad, I mean, and sooooo tacky. Thanks for the link though, it was worth it for the model dinosaurs marching up the ramp into the Ark. :)
