Imagine, if you will, a load of horse@!$%#. And we're not talking just your average load of horse@!$%#; no, we're talking colossal load of horsehit. An epic load of horse@!$%#. The kind of load of horse@!$%# that has accreted over decades and has developed its own sort of ecosystem, from the flyblown chunks at the perimeter, down into the heated and decomposing center, generating explosive levels of methane as bacteria feast merrily on vintage, liquified crap. This is a Herculean load of horse@!$%#, friends, the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Augeas.

Disclaimer: I don't believe in Creation, but I didn't write this article. It takes a highly sarcastic view of the creation museum, and I suspect that will annoy some of you.

Do try and argue with reason, instead of emotion. That goes for both sides.

My favorite part is where he praises creationism over intelligent design. I've always thought ID was a bit of a copout. At least creationism has the conviction to stick with its story.

Awesome, purely awesome, and about the most complete photo tour of the place I've seen thus far. I really do have to make it down there for a personal looksee at some point...

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but there is a picture of a display (Red Tooth and Claw) that states that natural selection exists....

What a fabulously-written article! Snarkiness at its finest.

I've heard a bit about this place but I'm buggered if I'm flying all the way over there to see it myself. It's incredible to me that such a thing can exist at all. I know which theory I hold with greater authority and it's not the one that discards logic and science with such gleeful abandon.

Nice find there Brian
