I was in charge of peacekeeping, and I had to shield our guests from these a-holes. I got into a heated debate with one guy so that others wouldn't have to put up with him.

[@BlackEpyon]

"Are humans and apes related?" Even when I was a Christian, and a Creationist, I could tell, AS A CHILD, that man was an ape. Sure, I thought they were both separately created, but it was beyond obvious that there was SOME relation. Perhaps one was a derivative of the other, a "model 2.0," etc, but there was NO DOUBT in my mind, as it was beyond obvious by comparing the skeletons of humans and other apes, facial features, the hands, ears, eyes, etc, that man was correctly classified as an ape in the same way that finches, peacocks, chickens, and ducks are all birds. It's all a matter of varying the proportions.

[@mabatch3769]

@@mgenetos I'm an apologist with a literal view, and I for one enjoy the sexy talk in places such as the one you mentioned and the Song of Solomon ("pomegranate tits" comes to mind). :3 Btw, an _actually_ literal interpretation of the Bible (as opposed to a Fundamentalist interpretation) would be polytheist, more specifically henotheistic and probably Mesopotamian beliefs about the Anunnaki in particular, as the Genesis cosmology reads like a summary of Sumerian and Chaldean beliefs and most of the words in the English Bible pointed to when saying One Omnipotent Triune God are mistranslations of polytheistic terms such "the gods" and "the sons of the gods", and specific divine titles such as "Lord of hosts" (referring to the armies of heaven). This would mean that the solution to "the incomprehensible mystery of the Trinity" is that God & Son are a Literal Father and Son, mirroring the account of An and Enki.

[@MendTheWorld]

6:04 It's so ironic, that for normal paleontologists, who adhere to normal (rational) geologic reasoning, the preservation of "trace fossils" (such as trilobite tracks) and other finely detailed elements of the sedimentary record, would imply a very quiet, low-energy environment where very fine-grained sediments could settle very slowly to preserve these features. this is completely incompatible with the sort of catastrophic flood that Creationists envision. The entire concept of Noah's flood seems so colossally absurd, that it's important to remember that disproving it actually comes down to these sorts of arguments.

[@fisharepeopletoo9653]

I remember reading the book "Memnoch the Devil" by Anne Rice and I came to the conclusion that if the christians are even close to identifying the creator of the universe, then it would have to happen in the way it happens in that book. Also I believe Anne does a great job of writing a fallible being as God, one who can and has made mistakes but is trying to do better. Because that's the only way God makes sense, and especially the only way sayings like "God is the objective source of morality" make any sense. But the end of that book also has God realising he doesnt need sacrifices, and god finds pity on the mortals and allows them into heaven after they have been cleansed. Its actually a great book, so good that it inspired my atheism. I was on the fence before, then I read that book and realised if there was a god, and that god was telling its story to man, then why is this story of god making so much more sense than the original? It shouldn't be possible that a human can write a better creation story than the creator.

The Smithsonian was jam packed with engaging visuals and artifacts. If I read only placards I would have only seen a fraction of the Smithsonian and if I had kids they would have fallen asleep.

I'm glad Ken's mother no longer has to see her psychotic, dishonest son make a living from exploiting the gullible anymore. I might feel mild pangs for Ken Ham if I believed for one second that he were capable of feeling anything for other human beings. I remember too well that interview with Dawkins where he showed his true colors to believe otherwise. And that "are human races equal" plaque tells me I'm right. I can guess what's on there. A big, bold quote-mine from Darwin's subtitle, "[...]preservation of the favored races" followed by the intellectual equivalent of several elbow nudges, meaningful winks, and (for the slower guests of the creationist theme park) a nice, conclusive "DO YOU GET IT BECAUSE DARWIN WAS A RACIST WHICH MEANS ALL SCIENCE IS RACIST DO YOU NEED US TO EXPLAIN IT SOME MORE?". Scumbaggery makes me feel less than charitable. And since I'm facing my own oncoming death and expect nobody to give a shit, I don't see why I should extend any courtesy to a poisonous piece of garbage like Ken. People die. Elderly mothers die. At least she doesn't feel any shame at being Ken's mother now.

The Creation Museum gardens were a nice place to visit until they started charging for parking. I never spend money there. As an engineer, it was fun to walk over the many various bridges. The venus fly traps in the bog were a delight. Walking on the suspension bridge was a treat. Watching the zipliners from the wedding gazebo was entertaining. Inside, the back door of the bookshop gave access to the Palm Garden. Next to that was the fossil hall with real copies of real bones. Early on, it was possible to stumble backward thru the exit and see the exhibits in reverse. My favorite dino was the longneck waving its head high above the lobby. A large quilt in the starwell showed a lot of creativity and craftsmanship. My suspicions are they are moving the exhibits to the Ark Park for consolidation. The new building at the Ark Park is about the size of the CM, without AIG. Hopefully they will repurpose the CM into a hotel. It would be a hoot if they had robot dinos like at the Henn na Hotel in Tokyo. Going there one time is worth the parking fee. The "free" stuff is worth it, but the pay exhibits left me with a hollow feeling. Do not take pictures of the security guys or they will hassle you to delete the pictures. But if you like little bridges, it is worth a single visit. Peace

Just consider it a modern abstract art museum, and it's all cool.

[@billyjacobs190]

I think I might go next weekend.

Everything on the wall = World's largest PowerPoint.

[@Shake69ification]

So used to seeing you in animated form, that it seemed weird watching RL you give the intro line.

[@TheDizzleHawke]

I’m so glad Mr. Atheist sounds exactly like Russel Glasser.

[@KirstenMarie_MS3]

Lol. I got an advertisement for a course on the book of Genesis

[@Paulogia]

I assume you didn't sign up.

In the old days, county fairs and even world's fairs had discreetly hidden burlesque tents where the money was actually made. Perhaps Ken should hide one of those in the back.

Whenever I see a video taken inside the museum, I'm always struck by just how few people there are. I think this was filmed while it was closed, but it's increasingly difficult to tell.

[@Paulogia]

Well, most of the footage of the old exhibits was shot by me personally on a day it was open.

[@tussk.]

@@Paulogia yeah, when I've watched videos by Aron Ra and the like, the place is always half empty, at best, and the only people there seem to be kids because thier schools get discounts for bulk bookings.

The Mormons were always at war with Oceania.

I’d be nervous about doing anything with “Mr. Atheist” given how he joined Kyle Curtis during that Non Seq cluster fuck.

[@amymills9228]

Jimmy's pumpkin shirt 😂🤣

[@treesilverback]

I want that fan fic art!

[@onlycorndog6322]

Jimmy looks like Gandalf and it's amazing.

[@frogstamper]

The "exhibit" showing kids and dinosaurs interacting looks like it was taken out of that old Raquel Welch film 1 Million years BC...and about as believable as well.

[@angelamaryquitecontrary4609]

No fur bikinis though. Such a pity, that was the best bit. Or bits.

[@truthache8560]

Lol sadly there are prolly more people at the Creation Museum than that new Galaxies Edge. It’s just as supernatural it’s full of GHOSTS!! But not much else, you’re the man Paul great job yet again.

27 minute mark (roughly). The rocky mountain area of the country apparently has a bit more difficulty with the suicide/depression angle of things, and has for quite some time, and it's not just Utah and Idaho.

[@theDreadedBlur]

Aww, she was/is probably an awesome woman. Condolences.

[@rowannieuport3942]

Wow, i guess this means they are dropping the Young Earth thing!

[@adruiddrummer8841]

Ahaha!!! I love cartoon Jimmy!

[@John.0z]

Listening to that bit about the "archangel Michael" etc has managed to add another level of humour to the TV series "Good Omens" portrayal of Michael by Doon Mackichan. Not that I expect any mormons to watch that TV series.
