It's too sad to laugh at. Is racism a joke too? Racism, like Creationism, is based on pseudo-science: it tries to justify itself with fact-challenged notions of eugenics, mis-readings of genetics, garbled statistics. It uses its warped "logic" to justify genocide.
But how is Creationism like racism? They're both destructive -- and in both cases it is a destructiveness that thrives on ignorance.

New Creation Museum makes a Joke . . . of Logic

I thought the definition of belief excluded the requirement of proof.
Now don't get all logical on us!
You rational secularist scientific types rub my false belief system the wrong way! Jesus will get you for that!
Now look what you've done--I'm starting to develop some kind of intellectually pragmatic itch...where's the religious calamine lotion? Ahhh, that's ...better?
It's really easy to point fingers, get angry, and deride creationists as idiots.
But consider this - religion is a positive good for a lot of people. Religion is not incompatible with science. The people we should be angry with aren't the believers, it's the people who manipulated them and manufactured the beliefs they cling to out of whole cloth.
Anonymous, I think what galls people most about things like the Creationists is that they make a mockery of faith too. Faith isn't sufficient for these people - that's why they need to attack the truth and create in it's place a cartoon universe of comfortable fables. Doesn't that rejection of reality constitute a rejection of God's creation, by extension, a rejection of God?
Religion is not incompatible with science.
Don't be too sure.
This can't actually have success, I think so.
Surely, the dude is certainly just.
