I don't think I am the only one that is severely creeped out by the "Answers in Genesis Creation Museum" in Petersburg, Kentucky. Amazingly, this place teaches that:
...the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice and in every area it touches on. This ‘walk through history’ museum will be a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture.
Check out this link for a review of the Museum from someone who isn't completely nuts.
One only needs to glance at some of the advice given in the museum to be afraid:
Don’t think, just listen and believe...
Now, these people are certainly not the only people that believe this - they didn't just find the $27 million needed to build the place under their pillows. However, recall that these are the same people who make up the GOP voting base, the famed (or crazy) "religious Right". They have the right to believe anything they want, and should be allowed to do so. They do not have the right, however, to dominate the political landscape of the US.
There is only one way to prevent it - vote smart. |

"Dont think. Just listen and believe." Those are the you used to describe christianity. Look around you at the world and even science. Everything is buzzing and moving and working. Why? What is the purpose of it all? Why do us humans try so hard to work and succeed when in the end all we do is die and it is then worth nothing. Is that what you live for? Listening and believing blindly. It's called "faith".
But, listening and believing blindly in what? You ask important questions, like - Why? What is the purpose of it all? These are things worth thinking about. Allowing others to tell us what to believe, without any thouht on our own would be a dis-service to everything that is buzzing and working and moving.
BTW- the words I used to "describe Christianity" are taken from the museum, they are not my words.
