Kentucky's Creationist Museum

That's right. There's a picture of Jesus watching the World Series with paps. Noah's ark is there (in its entirety). The disciples are there to take pictures and sign autographs. You can't use the flash on your camera though, because they're too old to take that sort of thing. A flash could result in a heart attack. A chronological breakdown is shown throughout the museum, as it tells the story of how Columbus took a shuttle called the Mayflower intended for Mars, but instead bumped into this place called Heaven. Columbus was then said to have discovered Heaven, even though people had already resided in the place he and his Mayflower-shuttle bumped into.

Okay, I'll get serious now, kind of. A creationist museum opened in Kentucky about four years ago.# In this museum, we get to see "the giant reptiles (dinosaurs) share the forest with Adam and Eve."

Museum founder Ken Ham said this in regard to his work of art, "It's education, but it's also doing it in an entertaining way."

But those darn scientists have something to say about this "education" that Ham speaks of.

Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh (say that five times fast) said, "Genesis is not science. Genesis is a tale that was handed down for generations by people who really knew nothing about science, who knew nothing about natural history, and certainly knew nothing about what fossils were."

Yeah, but Santa Claus is science, right? The Easter Bunny is science. The tooth fairy is definitely science! I stayed up once to study and well, I guess it turned out to be my mom one time, my dad another and my aunt another. They're just all over the place!

One John Morris, president of an organization in San Diego that promotes creationism, believes that this museum will "affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life."

Then, humorously enough, he added, "Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish."

I don't know. I once thought I had gills. So, let me get this straight. Man is gullible to believe that we have evolved over time into what we are today, but we are not gullible to believe that it all started with a guy by the name of Adam, a woman by the name of Eve, who got down and dirty, expanding the population from two people to six billion (yeah, they got busy for a while there), that a carpenter was born from a woman who hadn't had sex, that he lived a perfect life and through his death on a cross, every person can be eternally saved if they believe in him? Gullible A or Gullible B? It's so hard to choose. Are there any other options to test our gullibility? Because the fish story and that Adam and Eve story I'm not buying.

Maybe I should start my own museum, making fun of all the gullibility stories we've passed along to one another through the years. That'd be a fun museum, humorous at least. Some may not find much humor it in, but hey, that's their problem, for being gullible, right John Morris? Right.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
