Museum of creationism

Ohh! Hey everyone :) whilst picking strawberry's today from the fields (eating about half of what I picked) I heard about this Museum of creationism thats opening in the US that ignores some of the scientific advances for the past 100 years like carbon dating and evolution theories and teachers there version instead.

I would be very interested in learning about creationism, do they really believe the world was made 5000 years ago? that dinosaurs all died and berried themselves and seemed to have aged a few million years in a few 100? do they believe that selective breeding isn't real, the base of evolution (that Horses have not become stronger (that pigs aren't fatter, that berry's haven't become larger as we selectively bread them, ect)

If all humans came from Adam and Eve and we never evolve or change over time then why are there so many races of human? (about 250 races in Africa alone.) The Bible was written using the best scientific ideas of the day. If every one of the 100's of writers over the 100's of years were all controlled by God to write the book then dose that mean we have no control over our selves? if I rob a bank its not me, is it God acting through me? why would the bible not give the secrets of the universe if God wrote it through man, why just stories and morals, wouldn't God give us something better than just the best available ideas and stories of the time?

If the writers were only inspired by God then the words are still of human hands and minds. If its not all written by God then what parts are null and void, the parts not written by God?

The Museum of creationist says that we used to have the plant eating dinosaurs as pets! that we rode the huge dinosaurs. Science knows now for a fact humans evolved millions of years after the dinosaurs largely all died out. They know we first evolved in Africa and spread out across the world and that the world's land masses have split and changed over time cutting people off to evolve differently.

I would love to go and have a look around the museum just for the entertainment factor. Its a little worrying that they say there extremely unorthodox theories are fact as it breads ignorance. In my experience the people who attack evolution and related modern scientific theories don't have a good understanding of them.

You talk about ignorance of creationists and
then you talk about dinaosaors died out mililions of years ago along with carbon dating. That method for determining the age of organic matter has a limitation that makes it useless for anything older than about 9 half-lifes. Roughly 50,000 years.
And you talk about breading ignorance -- what kind of batter do you fry your ignorance in? Maybe you were referring to the word breed?
When someone throws out that word ignorant or worse, the arguments they use to back those up often give a clue as to where real ignorance lies.
Dinasoar fossils are not even checked with carbon-14 because the assumption is that they have to be 65 million years old. Assumptions are the basis of Darwinism.

Carbon dating is just one of many forms of radiometric dating that can be performed on dinosaur fossils. They all use completely separate methods of establishing a dating range, and thus can be cross-checked to ensure accuracy.

Agh! I hate that establishment! Nothing in there is based on science or the bible! Its just some idiot trying to debunk evolution with their own theory. IT IS COMPLETE BULLSH**, sorry I don't often swear but this really [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]es me off!

I ask you were in the bible does it even mention dinosaurs? They are giant Reptiles! How could John, Luke Mosses or even Jesus forget to mention them in the bible? This "museum" If you can call it that is nothing more then propaganda designed to set evolutionary theory back even further.

If you don't believe me, read your own bible and tell me were the dinosaurs fit in! I'll just leave it at that..

The reason that's assumed is because the mineralization process that causes dinosaur fossils to be fossils takes far longer then 50'000 years.

I'm also sorry to inform you but Darwinism is not evolutionary theory. He simply started the theory but we have since proved false some of his theories on evolution.

Dude, this is the Formal Debates subforum - again - and the thread is over 4 years old. Heck, this thread I just quoted is over 4 years old and the most recent post is from a year ago.

This is what you're looking for.
