Actually the view of some well known YECs on the origin of carnivores is even sillier than this. I participated in a long discussion with Helen and other YECs on the time of origin of meat eating on CARM. According to Helen meat eating did not start at the fall. She is adamant that all animals including humans were vegetarians before the flood. It was only after the flood that God gave permission to eat meat. I have a hard time imagining a sabre tooth tiger or a T-rex munching nuts and berries for a living but that's YEC for you.

They don't seem to have much influence. How many schools in Canada teach creationism?

I once attended a private Christian school affiliated with the Alliance Church for grades 6 and 7. Though I had a terribly low attention span as a jr. high student, I can remember a few lectures and videos teaching YEC beliefs. But that was almost 20 years ago.

It's kind of funny -- nearly everyone I've met in later years who were my classmates then, eventually became heathens!

But that certainly explains why they were so mean! They were really, really hungry.

It makes you wonder. Could YECs really be so dumb as to build in disconfirming events into the minds of young religious initiates? It is just such a terrible idea from a religious point of view. The more they protest science and evolution the more our ranks grow.

Yes yes yes!!! I'll give that one a visit any day! I suppose freedom of speech allows people to start up museums to scientific lies, but I do wonder how they'd feel if someone started a museum specifically dedicated to theistic murder and mayhem over the ages. Something tells me they'd be in the courts trying to get it closed down.

Got one. In <a href="http://www.santaclaushouse.com/" target="_blank">North Pole</a>. I think there's at least one other in Colorado.

Do you believe???

Don't forget <a href="http://www.santasvillage.com/Default.html" target="_blank">Santa's Village</a> in New Hampshire.

I say: good on 'em wasting $14 million to build a museum of baloney that has about as much in the credentials lineup as one of Barnum's. That's $14 million that can't be used to bribe school board members or university faculty or bureaucrats, or for anything else to further ruining everyone else's education. With the museum, you have to go to them (ie it's voluntary... unless you're a PK!) With messing up public education, they bring the baloney to you and your children, and you have no choice.

That is rather unlikely. The project is apears to be progressing at full steam. They are getting donations of money ($5 million of the $14 million they say is needed so far), materials and people volunteering months of their lives and their expertise to the project.

The Museum will be built. :-(
