In the midst of all of the horrible news that's
been coming out of basically the entire United
States for the last few months, this past
weekend we actually got a little bit of a
glimmer of hope in the form of slightly good
news, and that good news is that that creationist
museum up in Kentucky created by Ken Ham,
is actually failing.
Now I know that may not seem like such great
news or like it's some kind of insignificant
piece of news, but it actually means something
here in the United States today.
Do you know what it means?
It means that people aren't willing to go
shell out money to be lied to about things
that are easily, verifiably not true.
Maybe you believe in religion and that's absolutely
fine.
Maybe you believe that a 600-year-old man
built a giant boat and gathered up two of
every animal in the world, blah blah blah.
Fine, but we have fossil evidence that dinosaurs
existed, and they existed long before human
beings.
We have evidence and scientific findings that
tell us that the world is older than four
or five thousand years, and so it's good news
that this museum is failing, because it tries
to undo the scientific education that we are
giving our children, and that we ourselves
have learned.
But Ken Ham, again, the fundamentalist who
created this whole thing, isn't willing to
go down without a fight.
According to Ken Ham, the reason his creationist
museum that is shaped like a giant Noah's
Ark is failing, is because of those darn atheists.
Now Ken Ham didn't exactly explain how atheists
are somehow sabotaging attendance at his park,
but in his mind, it's the atheists' fault.
Maybe he thinks the atheists have reached
enough people in the United States to turn
us all into "godless heathens," as he would
say.
But the truth is that people don't want to
be lied to, and they sure as hell don't want
to pay money to be go to be lied to.
You know, talk about a bad investment, and
furthermore, Ken, if you're such an intense
fundamentalist, somebody who believes in the
literal word of the Bible, why didn't you
just ask God for a bailout?
Right?
I mean, if you are allegedly doing his work,
doing what he wants you to do, why isn't he
helping you?
It's almost like he's forsaken you, right?
The truth is, nobody cares about your stupid
little museum.
Nobody cares that you're trying to warp the
minds of children in the United States with
your backwards teachings.
If people want to raise their children religious,
that is their choice.
That is something they can absolutely do and
there is nothing wrong with that, as long
as those children also get a proper scientific
education and learn what's real and what's
a belief.
