Northern KY Creationism Museum discussed on O'Reily's show



A short debate about the $27 Million Dollar Creation Museum which opened on 28-May-07 in Petersburg, Kentucky. John Kasich fills in for Bill O'Reilly in a debate between Ken Ham the Answers in Genesis CEO (which funded the building of the Museum) and Lawrence Krauss, PhD, Professor of Physics, Professor of Astronomy, and former Chair of the Physics Department at Case Western Reserve University.

    Bah, that was a short advertisement for the museum. That's was not a discussion on the accuracy, believability, or credulity of it. Why even bother getting these people together if you aren't going to let them present their side/evidence?

    Looked like a publicity stunt to me.

    Ham is a good example of why we should have tough immigration policies. Taking advantage of poor dumb Kentucky white trash,...shame on you!

    That was oh so typical of Fox "News" segment and the "We're out of time" just as it started toward the meat of the matter. I agree with rick, it smells of putrid paid publicity. It's so hard to understand how people's "beliefs" can be so blind to sound, reproduceable facts like evolution of species and radiometric dating.

    Ahahahaha! Ken Ham actually said that it's not the God of the Bible that made evolution happen. Apparently his own creation is out of his hands and doesn't even need him in order to survive and succeed. Nuff said.

    Well at least we didn't have to hear too much of Ham's dribble after the first rehearsed and oft repeated monologue of his.

    I shouldn't be surprised at the lengths the young earth creationists will go to when spreading their propoganda, but 27 million freaking dollars?

    Mad world

    John Kasich showed his bias toward Ham. Every chance he got he made a statement such as "God is". Making the assumption that such a being exists in the first place. A very disappointing interview.

    Freedy,
    Don't forget about our homegrown idiots in Glenrose, Texas with their museum dedicated for creationism just down the road from the fossilized dinasour foot prints on the river's edge.

    Idiots everywhere!

    I like Fox News, but never liked John Kasich as a host. That being said, the topic needed a heck of a lot more time devoted to it.

    What do they have to show for 27 million dollars? Fossils? They wouldn't prove creation. So what do they have that proves creation?

    The problem is that narrative is being interpreted as scientific evidence even as the Creationist debunks the scientific method when it is directed towards the very objects that gave rise to it! Narrative is not "evidence" nor should we presuppose that there is objective data pointing to the validity of Genesis. This is a matter of faith not science. The basic epistemological truth is that the scientists ought not distort theological argument by assimilating it into scientific discourse and the theologian ought not distort scientific method by assimilating it into theology. But this does not mean that both areas of knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live and all of the life therein ought not discuss similarity in the midst of difference in their respective understandings of it. There should rather be more room for both to let the other discipline stand on its own ground and then to engage it on its own terms as an other.

    I'm not sure if this has appeared on here or not, but has anyone else seen where Ken Ham took down their movie of the biblical account of creation because "Adam" has prior history is some sexually explicit work?

    The delicious irony of Adam losing his innocence yet again!

    Idiots in Kentucky, idiots in Texas, idiots in Alberta. What further, or better, proof of evolution could there be than that?

    If Ken Ham thinks that evolution takes place, I wonder what time scale he believes it operates on.

    Twenty.seven.million.bucks. Just think how many cats, or long flexible sea creatures, could have their lives turned around and improved with $27M. What a waste.

NO TRUE CHRISTIANS!

There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one true Christian on the planet, and I can prove it. There are several signs of a true believer that are very plain in the Bible. Unlike many of the passages of the Bible, these particular verses are very plain and nearly impossible to misinterpret or take out of context. Let's consider these statements supposedly written by the Apostle John, otherwise known as the disciple whom Jesus loved, as he quoted his master and his God: 1) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 2) John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 3) John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. This seems pretty plain to me. If you love the Lord, you keep his commandments. Simple! John the Apostle emph...

"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"

476 comments
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....

Dear Believer

433 comments
by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

Jesus...f*** you

189 comments
By Ian Hi Jesus. Jet me start out by saying F*** you. Yeah, that's right. F*** you. F*** you uncle f***er. What the f***? you ask. Allow me to explain. After careful consideration and a lot of thinking, I have come to the conclusion that you, as presented in the Bible and your followers, are a f***er. How so? Let's see. If people don't believe in you, you damn them to hell. Real nice and merciful. If you damn people to hell for not believing in you and thus harming your ego, then f*** you. If you damn people to hell for following Christianity, then f*** you. If you're going to damn ME for being a freethinker and a humanist, then you're a really psychotic son of God. Want to change your image Jesus? How about starting off by getting rid of all your spokespersons. Why not start with Billy Graham? He's a big motherf***er. I mean come on, wrinkly as a prune, thinks Satan is out to ruin the world, threatens us with hell if we don't believe, runs ...
