Dinosaurs to roam with Adam & Eve in Creation Museum, Kentucky
Last night's UK TV Channel 4 News featured the imminent opening of the Creation Museum.

The curators were in bullish mood as they argued that since both humans and other animals were created on Day6 of the Creator's Magnum Opus, both would be featured roaming freely and intermingling in the Garden of Eden section of the Museum.

Asked about the implications of such a proposal, a spokesman said that ALL dinosaurs were vegetarians before the fall of Adam and Eve...


No Channel 4 News link, but the Museum's feaured on this page:

2. Did T Rex get banished from The Garden for tasting flesh?

4. They just get bolder and bolder
they think it's just so cool to be utterly stupid. They're so stupid that they're actually proud of it and build museums.

Problem for the GOP is that many there realize how bad this makes the GOP and conservatives look. They will disavow it but they are dancing with who brung 'em. And who brung 'em won't be stood up.

5. Leafing through the tour
I think that the SPCA might be interested in the way they are proposing to house the animals in the Ark. Of course, they might be stuffed animals.

6. Fairytale creatures in a fairytale land.

This may make a great tourist attraction. You know, the kind with a sign every ten miles for three hundred miles when approaching it from any direction.

7. So, that must mean that the dinosaurs perished because they were too
big to fit on Noah's ark and they drowned in the Flood.

8. Not according to another theory featured on the news item that
said dinos were on that boat but may not have survived the cold temperatures when they arived in Mount Arafat, or whatever the place was called...

18. So, when Roy Scheider said, "We're going to need a bigger boat . . . "
in Jaws, that was not an original line?

10. If All Dinosaurs were vegetarians before Adama and Eve's Story
that means they were carnivorous and nasty as hell later on. So, I would love to hear the story of how Noah and his sons herded these huge eating machines onto the Ark because3 they sure as hell couldnt swim. And how many species were lost because T-Rex ate them. Remember, eat just one and an entire species disappears because they can no longer recreate, mom or dad having become dinosaur takeout.

Actually, I dont think the operators of the museum really believe that stuff. They just found a great way to make great gobs of money from those who refuse to learn or at least ask questions.
:rofl:

13. Creationist Paleontologists Discover Dinosaur Saddle

Creationist Paleontologists Discover Dinosaur Saddle



By Ion Zwitter, Avant News Editor
Mud Flaps, Arizona, March 29, 2006

A team of creationist paleontologists from the Discovery Institute's main field research arm announced today that they had discovered the remains of a large manmade object confirmed to be an ancient dinosaur saddle. The Discovery Institute's discovery was discovered in the remote Dusty Rivers area of southwestern Arizona. A spokesman for the paleontological team said that the dinosaur saddle provides irrefutable proof that man and dinosaurs lived simultaneously, as predicted by most creationist or "intelligent design" doctrines.

Dr. Booble, who received his doctorate in paleontology from the respected Holy Patriot!™ Bible University and Correspondence College of Claptrappe, Oklahoma, had embarked on the search, funded by a $2 million Discovery Institute grant, expecting to remain in the field for at least two years. The dinosaur saddle was unearthed a mere two weeks after the expedition's launch.


"Based on the shape of the saddle, and this wedge that would slot neatly around the upper spikes of the back, I'm quite confident the saddle was intended to be worn by a Stegosaurus," said Dr. Booble. "Stegosaurus would have proven very useful to early man as a feed animal, and could also have been ridden whenever early horses, who were quite fleet of hoof, could not be captured."

Dr. Booble's colleague, Dr. D. Oxy Ribonucleic, offers an alternative view to Dr. Booble's interpretation.

"This saddle is far too narrow to fit across the sweeping shoulders of a Stegosaurus," said Dr. Ribonucleic. "It is far more likely that early man used it when riding the much faster and more versatile Velociraptor. Furthermore, we know Velociraptor was a vegetarian, as can be clearly deduced from its long rows of razor-sharp teeth, perfectly designed for tearing leaves from trees or rooting for truffles and other buried delicacies, and could therefore be domesticated at very low risk."

16. "...riding the much faster and more versatile Velociraptor."
The Velociraptor was about three feet tall--man, Adam and Eve must've been tiny!

:P
