creation museum

Gordy Slack looks “Inside the Creation Museum” at Slate. Ken Ham, the force behind the museum, claims that “belief in every word of the Bible can be defended by modern science,” but his quote appears to be missing a word:

“Belief in every word of the Bible can be defended by ignoring modern science.”

Slack notes that “Astronomy, geology and evolution, as they are commonly understood in mainstream science, have no place here,” a point taken up by this Ars Technica review (h/t: Devilstower at Daily Kos), which deplores “the US creationist movement and its attack on science.” The Ars Technica photos are interesting, especially the image of a saddled Triceratops!
