  1. Yes, I would check it out.  Sounds cool, is it real?


  2. In Reno?

    Nah - I'd go play craps until my money ran out (and, thereby, I wouldn't have enough money to go to the museum).

  3. Just for laughs, yes.

    "Scientific creationism" is an oxymoron. Creationism is scientific only to the extent that valid scientific methods are used to obtain data which are consistent with a creationism view. However, such an endeavor leads to a bias where the desired conclusion is reached first and then evidence is found to fit the conclusion. That's the scientific method in reverse -- bad science.

    So far, such scientific evidence supporting creationism is flimsy at best and countered by a staggering amount of evidence which supports the theory of evolution's core idea of descent with modification. Today, the Theory of Evolution is probably the most richly confirmed body of scientific knowledge we have in the biosciences and is the unifying idea behind all of biology.

  4. definitely i would give it a try,i find it interesting,

  5. So is it really there or are you asking if we'd go if there was one there?

    You gonna share some or not?

  6. First, Darwinism is a term only used by creationist.

    The best arguments I have seen produced by creationists are all lies or playing on public misunderstandings.

    For example. "Evolution is only a theory. Creation is another theory and should be taught in school."

    The fact that there is a theory of evolution means that science has established that evolution is a fact. A theory is an attempt to explain the workings of such a fact.

    I would like to see someone make the argument "Gravity is only a theory, it could be wrong"

    Although the theory of gravity as originally stated by newton was proven wrong and revised by Einstein. Did we all float up in the air? No, because we knew all along that gravity existed, the theory only explains how it works.

    Creation does not fall in this category. There is no Theory of Creation. It is not subject to observation and debate.

    We have observed evolution in nature, and made it happen in a lab with fruit flies in repeatable experiments.

    Evolution happens, and is an established fact.

    The fact that people claim to be Christians, but refuse to accept the truth about Gods works is what really gets me mad.

    The fact that we know for a fact that creation didn't happen means you might want to look at the first chapter of the Bible for some other symbolic meaning that might have been intended.

    Oh, to answer your question, no, I would not go to a creation museum, even if it was in my backyard.

  7. Sure I would, as long as it was free.While I'd like to see it.I'd never contribute to the cause.Science should be moving forward.Creation Science in my opinion,moves backward.

  8. Sure...after I gave my students the standard lecture about half-wit pseudo-science and how to recognize it.  It might be good for some laughs.  So, why not?

    Alternatively, if you're asking me to take any of that nonsense seriously--that is, to equate it with genuine science--then there is absolutely NO WAY.  There is NO such thing as "scientific creationism"--I've read their propaganda, and I know that there are even colleges that prefer to teach it.  But they're generally religious-based schools that do not have full state accreditation.  Their ideas just don't pass muster.

    Ever.

  9. No.

    Creationism is not science, it's giving up on science.

    A museum that supports such rubbish should not exist anywhere.

  10. Yes I would visit something like that. I think it's a good idea and overdue to have something like this for everyone to visit and get information about.

    Let us know when it's ready!

  11. Nope.

    But Nevada is a great place for it.  One nuke can take out the dens of gambling and the whackos creationists.

    Scientific creationism is like caring pedophile. Creationism is a faith based system of belief. There is no science in it at all.

    Science allows for Darwinism to be disproved,but Creationism doesn't allow for similar disproof.

    In any case, all scientific knowledge is really just the current best explanation that we have.

    Saying that the Great Spaghetti Monster created everything, doesn't help advance knowledge one little iota.

  12. I've lived in Reno for years now and I haven't even made it to the Bill Harrah Auto Museum. Even with the Batmobile on display last month!

    So a Creation Museum? No! Even if the tickets were free, I wouldn't cross the street to get a dose of Pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo.

    I agree the craps tables and sports books would be a better investment of time and money.  And more enjoyable!

  13. I would love to go to a creation museum.  It would be very amusing.  Although it is truly disturbing that so many people actually believe that creationism is in any way compatible with science.  As stated before, creationism begins with the conclusion--that the earth and all of its contents were created by a supernatural diety.

  14. No.

    It's Christian Creationism, not a study of various creation stories from various religions and spiritualities - which would be interesting.
