Kentucky's creation museum in financial trouble

[Incorruptible]

Good. Hopefully they have to shut down. I really don't understand how people can believe in this nonsense.

I actually agree with Incorruptible on something...

Well, I know just the person to revive this failing museum with a new southern style creationist restaurant, PAULA DEAN!

I also hear she's going to have a bit more free time on her hands now, too. So it's a WIN-WIN for both of them!

And I bet the snack bar at this museum sucks dinosaur ass now anyway.

And I went over to this link: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/31/us-usa-religion-ark-idUSBRE94U12U20130531

If you look at the proposal and the artists renderings on pic 2, why would a creationist museum build an Aztec temple?

254,000 at $30 is >$7.5 million. Are their expenses more than that?

I wondered about that as well. I'm sure they also receive donations and grants. It would be interesting to see their expenses.

I could spend a day at OMSI including an IMAX movie and a snack for under $30.

I wonder if this quells the perception that the right is pushing us to become a Christian theocracy. If a creation museum can't make it in Kentucky, I'd say that means we're not quite as hopelessly religious as some paint this country to be.

Lack of success does not indicate lack of effort.

The creation museum? Admission there is free.

I'd go if I lived nearby. Sounds hilarious.

I'd go, and I'd make really loud, irreverent comments until they kicked me out.

I will profess to having been to this place, on purpose, just to see how insane it is. And it's REALLY nuts.

It isn't even really a "museum" per se, as I consider a museum to be something you can just wander around as you see fit, while this place has a start and a finish with a path you must walk in order. It tries to tell this bizarro story of how the earth created, and it's "proof" to everything it tells you is literally "Scientists say the earth is billion of years old. But is it REALLY???" and therefore apparently it's only 5,000 years old or whatever.

Sadly, there were many people there eating it all up while I was there. Not exactly the pinnacle of humanity, mind you, but they were there.

Lack of intelligence doesn't indicate... wait, in your case it indicates everything.
