What other creation museums are out there? I think it would be interesting to look at their "evolution" over time Tmtoulouse 22:14, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

I find it interesting that CP has no entry on the Creation Museum at all. --Kels 22:18, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
The supposedly-Christian cp also didn't have an article on Charity until I created it[1]--PalMD-Talk 22:22, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
True, but charity doesn't fall into the propaganda that their ideology demands, and something like the creation museum does. It's also attached to their beloved AiG, so you'd think there'd be something. --Kels 22:28, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
OK, but they also did not have an article on the American Flag or Pledge of Allegiance until I created them. I was shocked, I tell you, shocked, at this omission! humanbe in 11:22, 31 May 2007 (CDT)

Biological "theme

I am trying out a biological theme here with an evolutionary bent. I did a "conspecifics" section and am thinking we can do something like "Ecology of creation museums" looking at where these places usually pop up, "the prey of creation museums" who goes to these things? And then maybe an analysis of Ken Ham's museum for how it fits into these categories? Just trying out some idea...thoughts? Tmtoulouse 10:23, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

It hath been doneth!

cp:Creation museum <-- Somebody actually created it. And... uh... just read it. At the time of this writing, there is only one version (Quicklink), but wow. It's worth it. Imagine an actually concise Conservative at work. --Sid 06:17, 27 May 2007 (CDT)

nah, it has now been zappeth. --CatWatcher 14:25, 28 May 2007 (CDT)

Ken Ham, there's something not kosher about that guy... --Kels 14:26, 28 May 2007 (CDT)

Really? What makes you think that? MiddleMan

I could not resist

AP Newsbreak: Creation Museum's 'Adam' shared sexual exploits online[1]

Linden tells the AP that he is no longer affiliated with the site.[2]

Creation Museum Figures

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they'll do, business-wise. I'm frightened by the distinct possibility they'll do OK, though I'm hoping for a meteor strike. I really hope I can get there before I miss this great monument to Blind Stupidity. Doggedpersistance 15:55, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

I think the Monument to Blind Stupidity actually rests on a Florida beach (which will soon be under all that run-off from the Greenland ice sheet), funded in part by Ed Poor. CЯacke® 21:47, 3 August 2007 (CDT)

New info

See this, also, catch PBS's NOVA tomorrow night for a show on ID.--PalMD-If it looks like a donut, eat it 15:29, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Great tour. I'm actually pretty impressed with the purely technical aspects of that "museum". Seems like a really professional design and setup. --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 18:03, 12 November 2007 (EST)
It is quite pretty inside and would rival any "secular" museum around in those terms. Apart from that they could have saved 25 million dollars by telling people to go read Genesis.NetharianCubicles are prisons! 23:02, 15 January 2009 (EST)

Reference for the year end money beg

I changed the reference because the "Bluegrass Report" is notoriously liberal (and run by a Democratic party person). I figured the AiG request would make more sense. Researcher 22:59, 18 December 2007 (EST)

I merged the two of them: "we report you decide"?-αmεσ (orator) 23:00, 18 December 2007 (EST)
Works for me. If anyone who actually LIKES the Museum reads this, then they can see what Bluegrass Report has to say about it. Researcher 23:03, 18 December 2007 (EST)


coconuts

Quote: "when asked why the T - rex had six inch long serrated teeth the guide will explain that those were for opening coconuts." Funniest thing I read recently. Made me laugh out loud.--Bobbing up 05:28, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Nope. it IS a museum, just nao a terribly good one. Not a "museum." RaoulDuke 13:33, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll admit that I am taking my cue from PZ Myers on this one. It does infuriate me that anyone should consider this on the same level as a museum that is actually dedicated to the advancement of human knowledge and understanding. --Edgerunner76Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 13:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I would agree that something like Wikipedia would not and should not use "Museum" but, from the perspective of RW, it does seem appropriate. --Edgerunner76Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 13:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I have nothing against the title, just discussion first would have been nice. You fixed the links? - π 13:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't agree with the page title move, but adding some quotation marks within the article itself is OK with me. Aboriginal Noise Theist, barely hanging by a nail 13:42, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I did let things get the better of me. I still think that it is appropriate. --Edgerunner76Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 13:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
To be consistent we'd need to change this one as well.--BobNot Jim 14:04, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I totally agree and I was about to, but I held up after this section topic was created. --Edgerunner76Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 14:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
The more I think about this the more silly the idea seems. I support moving it back. - π 14:25, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm not so sure. It's really a propaganda device rather than a "museum" isn't it? --BobNot Jim 14:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
