Sagar's New and Hot (Week 8)

On Saturday I posted an entry about "Dr." Hovind a creationist who has built an amusement park which has a panorama that includes dinosaurs and humans living together at the same time. The theme park also claims that there are few small dinosaurs existing today. He is currently serving a 10-year sentence in a high security prision in Atlanta for tax evasion.

Today, I found an article about a new Young Earth Creationist Museum that has been built near Cincinnati. The museum features such exhibits as a girl feeding a squirrel while baby T-rexes play nearby and a half-million dollar planetarium aiming to show the glory of the heavens. The museum teaches that the Grand Canyon was a result of a natural dam breaking during the great Biblical flood and many more "facts" that attempt to disprove the established science of evolution.

What I found most appalling was the following exhibit bordering on racism. From the article: "An animatronic display sums up their argument: two paleontologists are examining the same dinosaur fossil. The evolutionist - an Asian man - comes to one conclusion while the creationist - a white man who resembles Ham - comes to another."

Did I say bordering?

The article can be found here .
