This past Friday, the Washington Post ran a dinky little articleabout Creationist Ken Ham and his "Ark Encounter" park -- you know, the one that got $18 million in tax breaks to build a full-on replica of Noah's Ark, so geniuses can go there and see how the whole Great Flood thing in the Bible was for real and totally not a myth or anything. And that dinky little article got FACT CHECKED by Ken Ham, who -- in this instance and this instance only -- was actually the one who was right. Granted, it was about his own opinion on the subject, but still.
If dinosaurs evolved into birds, why don't birds have huge teeth? I mean, so-called "evolution" would favor large teeth, right? For that matter, why aren't all of our teeth a whole lot bigger? And it would be great if everybody could fly, so why don't we have wings? Evolution? Puleeze...
If these guys don't believe in the science behind carbon dating, do they have smoke detectors in the Ark museum? If they don't believe in the science behind the speed of light, does the break room have a microwave?
This is a bit like talking about one of Trump's bullshit claims pulled directly from his flabby orange ass and getting some of the bullshit wrong. Oh sure, Trump may not believe THAT bullshit but that doesn't change the fact that his bullshit is still bullshit.
Good question. Reminds me of the time some creationist type challenged Aldous Huxley face to face with what he supposed was a completely unanswerable one. "Scientific theories are supposed to be subject to disproof if they are wrong, so tell me what you'd accept as disproving Evolution!" Huxley came back without even hesitating, "Fossil rabbits in Precambrian rocks."As a convinced creationist myself, I just know they have to exist and I'm still waiting for their discovery to be announced. I think they have been discovered, in fact, all over the world, and atheistic palaeontologists are covering it up.
Another good question. Or as the unique, sui generis Harlan Ellison wrote in "The Deathbird", with regard to that whole "The woman tempted me, and I did eat," thing ... "Was Adam being a gentleman when he placed the blame on Eve? Discuss 'narking' as a character flaw."
I guess Ken Hamm hasn't learned from Bill Nye The Science Guy handing his prehistoric ass to him.
So, I guess oral was out of the question?
They used to be considered garbage food, unfit for even prisoners.They are essentially giant insects.
MoMA is free on Fridays. Both the Met and AMNH (American Museum of Natural History) are pay what you wish. Even if it's a quarter.

So... you can eat beaver on Friday? Haw haw...
I bet he was really, really hungry at the time...or maybe Scottish.
Just goes to prove: even the dullest knife in the drawer can manage a Twitterfit - right, Donald?

Yes, I think all the Smithsonians are free; I had forgotten that.
(Inspector Clouseau voice) Yes, I kneaux zat, I kneaux zat!
Also, Jim Pinkoski doesn't necessarily believe the dinosaurs died in the flood either! He just depicted it! http://www.theferrett.com/p...
Ken Hamm's is so incapable of learning that he wouldn't have picked up on fire being hot if Bill Nye had lit Hamm's ass on with a Bunson Burner.
