Night at the Creation Museum is Brilliantly Terrible

Night at the Creation Museum is a short parody by young earth creationist Eric Hovind and YEC ministry Answers in Genesis. Featuring some awkward acting, terrible apologetics and crimes against modern science. Eric screams a lot though, which is fun!

As an atheist, I have often pondered the theist challenge, "What would it take to convince you of the existence of God?" This video made me quite certain that a nightmare at the Creation Museum would not do the trick.

[@grahvis]

The answer to what would make you believe in God, is easy. If God did exist, he would know what would make any atheist believe and could act accordingly. The fact he seems determined to stay hidden, says it all really.

[@bradypustridactylus488]

@@grahvis Every conversion story is ultimately about how god reveals himself to the individual. In this story, it was a vision, like Paul on the road to Damascus. In such stories god often reveals his existence, but he never justifies it. If you ask, he just bullies and belittles you, like Job and the whirlwind.

[@Keira_Blackstone]

I agree with the Matt Dillahunty response to this question- I don't know what would convince me, but if God exists, he knows, and has chosen not to do it. So either god doesn't exist, or he doesn't want me to believe he does.

I think the exposition about the divorce from Sarah and Eric’s character’s life is to immediately make it clear that he lives an “unchristian” life. The God is Not Dead movies do this too, hanging a lampshade on the “atheist” character’s backstory that’s largely only visible to the target demo.

The “Luke, I am your father” misquote has been around nearly as long as the film itself. Back before KZbin made it possible to look everything up - even before VHS made it possible to watch films on repeat until you’d memorised every line - movie quotes were entirely dependent on peoples’ faulty memories. That’s why we have classic quotes like “beam me up, Scotty” and “play it again, Sam” that are never actually spoken on screen. “Luke, I am your father” supplanted “No, I *am* your father” a long time ago in the popular memory. Even people who know better use the incorrect quote because it’s not worth the trouble of explaining that, actually, *you’re* right and everyone *else* is wrong. I’m not defending the film’s use of the misquote (even if I kinda am), but I understand why it happened.

The two towers on the books seems intended to symbolize science vs. religiion. While the science tower is crumbling, with part of the tower on the left already on the ground it means to convey its shaky grounds. While the religion tower, built upon just a single book instead of multiple, stands steady (and is higher), because it stands on sturdy foundations... It conveys their belief quite nicely, stupid as it may be.

"Blackmail, it's the Christian way" lol. True though. Also it always baffles me how misinformed Christians about why people leave the religion. When I was a teen a read the Bible front to back twice. For me there was too many contradictions in the Bible itself and the Bible vs. what the church and my mom taught. Plus the critical thinking vs. magical thinking was driving me insane. If someone is blackmailed into believing do they actually believe or are they just trying to make the people who blackmailed them happy? And if god is real, wouldn't god know you don't really believe anyway?

[@ronrolfsen3977]

"If someone is blackmailed into believing do they actually believe or are they just trying to make the people who blackmailed them happy" Could be both. I think the blackmailing done is more subtle then just wanting to keep someone else happy. I think a lot of Christians will tell themselves they believe for the simple fact none of them have properly mourned there lost ones. If you can tell yourself they go to a better place and you meet them at one point you simply can not properly mourn (or at least you mourn differently. As the loss is just temporary). Accepting God is not real is relatively easy. Accepting that you sister (or even worse, child) is not really in a better place and that you will never get to see her again is a hell of a lot harder thing to accept.

[@blueredingreen]

I don't think too many Christians (at least those that are notable figures within Christianity and apologetics) are actually misinformed about why people leave the religion. They just can't accept the reasons given, because doing so would undermine their entire worldview.

@@ronrolfsen3977 I guess I should clarify. When I was talking about emotion I meant "feeling god's presence" and stuff like that. I was taught that if you were 'right with god" that you feel it.

I love it when im told that i am an atheist because "i dont like the idea of being held accountable/love to sin". Then when pressed, the claimant is never able to elaborate. Id often ask how it can be possible to dislike being held accountable by a being that i do not believe exists. But i nearly always got the response that i actually do believe but my desire to sin prevents me from admitting it, lol. I got a kick out of that. Im then told that upon becoming christian, i would be forgiven of my sins anyway, which is odd, since a religion with contingencies built in to circumvent the penalty associated with sin suggests that followers of said religion really really love to sin. Its all backwards logic meant to twist up people's minds.

I'm not confident it can ever "make sense", but personally these films are a little easier to "understand" when I consider it's basically just proselytizing posing as cinema. It's got nothing to do with storytelling, or anything legitimately artistic. It's a thing created solely for the purpose of "making more fundamentalists". This is why, I feel, these "Christian" films are all so *transparently* horrible. There's no conviction behind them. It's self-evident. If you want to see faith-based themes done right in cinema, it's Scorsese's filmography. That's how you comment on faith without condescending/proselytizing. That's cinema art.

[@PrometheusZandski]

Emma, I heard you on Truth Wanted this week. Excellent work even though you were doing it at 2 am. I think this "movie" can be summed up in one statement: god did it. Dinosaurs, starlight, radiometric dating, sedimentary dating, genetic evolution evidence can all be brushed away with "god did it."

[@simond.455]

On the other hand, according to their story, god is not powerful enough to have created the universe 13.8 billion years ago and had to fake everything.

Look into Gutsick Gibbons, she does an excellent in-depth tour of the inside of the creation museum and the ark. It’s very educational and intriguing, highly recommend.

[@brothajohn]

It’s amazing there is an entire museum dedicated to ignorance and delusion

[@_snaiio5492]

Great content as always. Loving the captions, well done. Although I am a native English speaker I find captions allow me to stay focused on the content and not "zone out" so I am pleased to hear they will be human generated and not by silly AI. Oh no, I do not wish to enrage the great AI - it just has room to grow in the arena of interpreting human voice...

[@brandonrunyon]

One thing I've noticed that Emma does a good job of is being fair, thoughtful, honest and civil when reviewing or critiquing something or someone she doesn't really agree with. This how I think people who are different from one another should conduct themselves, its really easy to negatively put down and label people whom have opinions and beliefs different from you, but its not as easy to hold that back and put objectivity forward.

[@micklepickle8015]

I grew up as a pentecostal in northern kentucky, about 20 minutes from the creation museum. We went all the time and I loved it as a kid. Looking back at it, it's a bit nostalgic, but also disturbing

[@calebsherstad9649]

I can't say for sure, as I haven't been there, but I'm pretty sure the "Lunar New Year" stuff has more to do with their argument that dragons are ubiquitous in cultural mythology because people coexisted with dinosaurs.

[@TheScotsalan]

Yup. But what they wont mention re China is that in about 1860 a failed civil servant applicant took a brochure from a christian missionary in the southern city of Guangzhou ( where I live ). The guy then proclaimed himself to be the brother of jesus, and approx 40 million ppl died in the war he led. The Taiping rebellion. Cos Jesus. That led to the downfall of the qing, the first and second chinese revolution.. and ultimately the comminist china of today ( but its not communist). All cos of a leaflet about jesus. 😂😂😂👍

[@telgato711]

Thank you for this glimpse of the movie and the museum so I don’t have to see either of them. I assume you’d agree that Plan 9 From Outer Space deserves more stars.

[@georgeh6856]

Miracles are always done to help someone. Parting the sea, bringing back Lazarus from the dead, multiplying fish and loaves to feed the crowd, etc. Making light travel faster than the speed of light just so we can see the stars does not help anyone in the same way. No one would die, drown, or go hungry if we could not see any stars in the night sky.

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

As a Christian, I have to say the sad part is this is one of the better Christian movies of recent years. Sure the acting is terrible, the special effects are terrible, the facts are totally nonexistent.... but it's short which makes it much better than the other ones that have all the same problems but are feature-length.

[@briannewton3535]

@@ParanormalEncyclopedia After listening to many episodes of God Awful Movies by Noah Lugeons, I am tending to agree with you. The blatant bullshit in Night at the Creation Museum is fairly obvious to a sceptical thinker, which actually makes this kinda entertaining, even for an atheist to watch, rather than the cringe that is reviewed on God Awful Movies.

[@mcnultyssobercompanion6372]

@@ParanormalEncyclopedia Catholic speaking, and yes, this bizarre onslaught of "Christian" films the last 10 years or so (such as the "God's Not Dead" alleged franchise) is really unfortunate. In my opinion, they don't even really qualify as cinema, per se. They's essentially just hijacking the art of cinema for the sake of proselytizing. Which i find personally kind of...despicable. It's entirely possible though to make a genuinely interesting film with faith-based themes. For instance, nearly every film Scorsese has ever made is laced with Catholic themes, to one degree or another. This video where Emma eviscerates this silly creationist film is really great, but I think it would also be interesting to see what she thinks about a legitimately great film like Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ". Or "Silence", in particular. You really don't need to subscribe to any faith to appreciate those films as great cinematic work. Years before I started going back to mass "The Last Temptation of Christ" was high on my favorite films of all time. Given the context, just want to make it clear I don't believe in proselytizing nor do I give a shit whether someone subscribes to any faith or not. I just feel it's important to understand not all faith-themed films are...lol, bullshit.

Just a heads up, that camaro is maybe like 15 thousand dollars at best. It's a slightly older model with no trim package...honestly they are used as rental cars a lot in the states...

[@kolgrimthunderhammer]

Was just thinking that is like the classic "want to look like you have the money for a muscle car" kind of muscle car. Its the kind of thing you often see people of lesser means being duped into buying as a status symbol by our f'ed up version of capitalism. That and basically being pressured into buying merch from his new job on his first day puts a bit of a strange spin on the film by the end of it.

[@Heimdal001]

It isn't a bad sports car, but yeah, it isn't an expensive one in the slightest. People regularly spend more on trucks. They definitely gave the character that car to (cheaply) display him as ignorant and impractical. Though, it isn't actually too impractical to the life they portray the guy to have ...And he isn't any less ignorant at the end either.

[@oldtvnut]

A little cold water to throw on this: in reality, a guard would not be left to their own cognizance to patrol a museum, but would have to check in at certain stations at regular times to verify that they did not go to sleep and had checked for fire, more than anything else. But that would spoil the whole movie genre.

Thank you Emma Thorne for putting your mind and sanity on the line for us to be certain that we don't want to watch or visit this "museum"! Regarding the video quality, they could be lucky with the phone in question that it actually has decent auto stabilization of the picture? The pure animal exhibits seemed ok, but combined with the utterly ludicrous other exhibits the total image is dragged down to a don't visit. Not surprising because of the people behind said "museum". Thank you again Emma, the review was great and the subject matter required ridicule. Take care and stay safe!

[@kolgrimthunderhammer]

Great content as always :) Is it just me or did this seem to follow the plot line of A Christmas Carol a lot more than Night at the Museum?

Great and honest review. Most would just rip into this just because it was made by Eric Hovind, but even really bad movies can have some good parts. About the speed of light thing (God made the light go faster in the beginning so the universe only "appears" to be billions of years old), I've heard similar arguments from creationists. It's usually something like "God made 'X' appear old to test our faith." My reply to this has always been, "Then God could have made the universe 5 minutes ago and made you only think it's old."

so I was dragged to this museum a few years ago and all the dragons and stuff were there and idk if I was just there at the same time they filmed it what happened. either way the museum sucks except for some dinosaurs and bugs. but a plus is they had a dip and dots stand outside and a zip line that I never got to try because it was too expensive 👍 edit: also my dad bought in the gift shop a dvd where bill nye and some dude from the museum debated each other about evolution vs creation and he made me watch the entire thing 👁👄👁
