From the people who brought you Christ of the Ozarks and the GreatEureka Springs Passion Play: The Museum of Earth History...

Wow. Jo
I got a chuckle out of their claim that dinosaurs were included on the Ark. Just how big was that boat, anyway?
Yes. The usual explanation I've heard other places for why there are no more dinosaurs is they missed the boat....
The ignorance of religion in these science ngs is just stunning. Doesn't anyone know what metaphors or symbols are?
The stories of genesis and the flood are merely poetic visions meant to describe the interdependencies within the natural world, and the role catastrophic change plays in nature.
Are you disputing the truth of either of those ancient assertions? You'd be a fool if you do. Your only difficulty seems to lie in the way this philosophy is expressed. Through stories, allegory and symbols. No thinking religious person takes these stories literally.
I keep telling you,jonathan, you need to come here to the bible belt. They *DO* take these stories literally. My point of posting the link was: this is not 'Museum of Religous History'. It is the 'Museum of Earth History'--
If people are erecting museums with fossils in them, and proporting to show how dinosaurs fit into the biblical creation story by including them on the Ark, geoscientists have a stake in knowing the museums exist.
