And today's "Creationists are nuts" story brought to you by...

This sounds like one hell of a vacation stop! Kentucky is busy erecting a museum of Creationism in which Adam and Eve will share the proverbial forest along with T-rex and his buddies.

Lets weight a few statements for what some might call 'sanity'...

"Genesis is not science," said Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. "Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were."

And in the right-wingnut corner...

Its inspiration is the Bible - the literal interpretation that contends God created the heavens and the Earth and everything in them just a few thousand years ago.

"The Bible is the word of God, and its history really is true, that's our presupposition or axiom, and we are starting there," museum founder Ken Ham said

To close off the article, head of the San Diego based Institute for Creation Research (how can you expect to be taken seriously at any intellectual gathering?) closed with this gem.

John Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, an organization that promotes creationism, said the museum will affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life.

"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," he said.

I feel it speaks for itself. And the world keeps spinning...
