THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE

I always thought the title of this article was biblical in origin but it turns out it isn’t….my creation theory must have been wrong.

Speaking of that, if you want to take a literally fantastical tour through some of the most specious reasoning and bizarre horsesh*t you are ever likely to find then take a photo tour through the creationist museum.

I have added a photo below just to give a flavour of it. Believe me, it gets worse….

    Jesus wept! Somehow seems an appropriate exclamation to this kind of bollocks.

    Indeed it does. I still can’t decide if it is funny or thoroughly depressing.

    Maybe to feel both emotions is the intelligently designed response.

    I can only think of the immortal words of Ford Prefect: “You’re gonna die out – you know that, don’t you.”

    That’s what I call evolution!

    I have read the bible from cover to cover, and yet I don’t remember seeing anything about pony-sized dinosaurs in it. In fact, I even typed “dinosaur” into http://www.biblegateway.com/ to double check, and sure enough it returned no results.

      the word “dinosaur” which means terrible lizard was coined in 1842, a few decades after the first fossils were discovered. The last book of the bible was written about 1900 years ago. You are right- dinosaur – the word-doesn’t appear in the bible, but a pretty fair description of a large animal like a brontosaurus does in Job. I’m surprised you missed it. There are also cave drawings in France that look very much like dinosaurs. I wonder what animal they were copying if not a dinosaurs. What do you think all the legends about “dragons” on every continent were about?

    “And Jesus met a giant brontosaurus with a splinter in his paw and all the disciples ran around screaming ‘What a big fucking lizard lord’”

    Haha
    A mate of mine went to the Creationist Museum in Cincinnati last year, and knowing my views, brought me back a mug. It pictures the ark with sheep, goats, elk, marmosets and other furry non-offensive animals ambling up a ramp with brontosaurs, T-rexes and other dinosaurs. A few pterodactyls are flying overhead with the thrushes and herons too just for good measure.

    In Iraq we had a saying for the enemy, “If you run, you’ll just die tired”. Likewise, you may be smarter than a creationist but you’ll still die ignorant.
