Did you hear the one about the atheists who visited the Creationist’s museum?

This should really have been a Sunday post, I guess, but since I was far too busy enjoying myself with friends down in Thames, you’ll have to hear about it today.

So, did you hear about the 300 or so atheists who went to the “Creation Museum”?  In fact, did you know there is such a thing as the Creation Museum – a so-called museum that purports to show proof that man cohabited with dinosaurs, that Adam and Eve were alive not so many generations ago, and the earth itself is only 6,500 years old – which is what you have to believe if you take all the myths and legends in your Bible literally (which is what the museum’s trustees do), along with reconciling for themselves all the contradictions with what science knows to be true.

It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall, don’t you think?

The visit was arranged as part of a Secular Students Alliance conference, and fronted by biologist and science blogger PZ Myers. Myers gives a brief account of the visit ro “Ken Ham's Palace of Lies” here at his Pharyngula blog, with links to two fuller accounts, one by a roving ABC journalist and the other by the Museum’s CEO, Ken Ham..  Enjoy.
