Dino was right.

Sure dinosaurs lived at the same time as people. If you don't believe me look at Dino on the Flintstones!!!!!!

We all heard the story of the Cretionists Museum that just opened up in Kentucky; and up here in Canada the thinking was "What a bunch of idiots!"

WELL GUESS AGAIN, BUNKY! Canada's got its share of nuts too!

A new creationism museum that paints itself as the scientific counterpoint to Canada's world-renowned Tyrell dinosaur museum opened yesterday in Alberta.

Owner Harry Nibourg and others who helped put together the Big Valley Creation Science Museum say they hope it will help convince skeptics their belief in a literal interpretation of the Bible -- complete with massive flood, dinosaurs walking the earth side-by-side with humans and a seven-day plan only 6,000 years ago to get it all started -- is based on scientific fact rather than blind faith.

"Evolution is not a science -- please, please don't call it a science," Nibourg said as he walked through the one-room museum he has spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars bringing into existence. (This alone should be enought to have this asshole commited!)

The red walls are crammed with evidence he said was put together by hundreds of well-educated scientists. Dinosaur footprints lead along the floor, and a massive painted model of a dinosaur hangs suspended above the entrance.

Exhibits include photographs that show human footprint fossils side-by-side with dinosaur prints, rocks whose patterns he said show evidence of a massive flood and displays that explain how DNA is far too perfect to have been designed by chance.

Also displayed is evidence to refute that of people Nibourg calls "Evolutionists," including fossils and present-day animals that are identical, ruling out any type of adaptation.

Despite expectations of controversy, only about two dozen people, mainly media, watched as Earl Marshall, reeve of Stettler county, snipped a black ribbon to declare the museum open.

Most people present said they knew Nibourg, and while they don't necessarily agree with everything in the museum, they respect his right to express himself.

Marshall said he was warned it might not be politically wise for him to open the museum, but shrugged it off.

There is hope that the notoriety of the museum, located a few hours drive between Edmonton and Calgary, will attract tourists.

Asshole of the Week!

I'm only two days late but from now on every Sunday we are going to start the Sunday Morning Funnies section with our Asshole of the Week nomination.

This week our trophy and a loud fart go to Ken Ham, president of the group "Answers in Genesis" that founded the Kentucky Creationist Museum.

Just so you know!

New museum says dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark!

This story didn't get nearly as much publicity here in North America as it did in Europe. That's because most Europeans think that American Right Wing Republicans and Fundamentalist are nuts. Coo-coo. Crazy. Bonkers. Well, you get the idea!

PETERSBURG, Ky (Reuters) - Like many modern museums, the newest U.S. tourist attraction includes some awesome exhibits -- roaring dinosaurs and a life-sized ship.

But only at the Creation Museum in Kentucky do the dinosaurs sail on the ship -- Noah's Ark, to be precise.

The Christian creators of the museum, unveiled on Saturday, hope to draw as many as half a million people each year to their state-of-the-art project. It depicts the Bible's first book, Genesis, as literal truth!

While the $27 million museum near Cincinnati has drawn snickers from media and condemnation from U.S. scientists, those who believe God created the heavens and the Earth in six days about 6,000 years ago say their views are finally being represented.

"What we've done here is to give people an opportunity to hear information that is not readily available ... to challenge them that really you can believe the Bible's history," said Ken Ham, president of the group Answers in Genesis that founded the museum.

Here exhibits show the Grand Canyon took just days to form during Noah's flood, dinosaurs coexisted with humans and had a place on Noah's Ark, and Cain married his sister to people the earth, among other Biblical wonders.

Scientists, secularists and moderate Christians have pledged to protest the museum's public opening on Monday. An airplane trailing a "Thou Shalt Not Lie" banner buzzed overhead during the museum's opening news conference.

Opponents argue that children who see the exhibits will be confused when they learn in school that the universe is 14 billion years old rather than 6,000.

"Teachers don't deserve a student coming into class saying 'Gee Mrs. Brown, I went to this fancy museum and it said you're teaching me a lie,"' Dr. Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, told reporters before the museum opened.

A Gallup poll last year showed almost half of Americans believe that humans did not evolve but were created by God in their present form within the last 10,000 years.

Three of 10 Republican presidential candidates said in a recent debate that they did not believe in evolution.
