Help wanted for Creationist Museum

I bet you would like this butterfly for your museum...

Ahh...........Kentucky!!

It happens to be my home. Blue Grass, Wildcats, beautiful women (And I married one of them too.) However, there is a dividing call I-75. West of I-75 is fundamentally sane with the exception of Frankfort (Our State Legislature and = to Congressman, by the way, Washington DC is east of I-75).

East of I-75 is a land of loony characters. To prove my point: "what are the last word every Kentucky Redneck utters before he dies?

"Hold my Beer and what what I can do......................

Need I say any more?

Also, Ruger introduced a new Commerative Pistol in recognition of the US Congress: It is called the "Congrssman"

It has no trigger. Therefore it does not work and you can't fire it.

Shuey,

Thanks for posting the images from the Creation "Museum". Yet more proof, if ever it was needed, of the stupidity of some people.

I mean...really?!?!? Come on...does ANYONE actually believe this? All animals were vegetarian until "Adam's Sin"...there was no disease until "Adam's Sin" LMFAO...

Come to the US for the lep soc meeting, and I assure you that I will give you a bottle of my favorite - Knob Creek. It's a smooth 100 proof product that will help you form those creation hypotheses (you know - god made this one, god made that one, god made that one over there, ... and so on..., until you run out of species). These hypotheses are hard to test, but by blending Bourbon with religion, you don't care after a bit.


Seriously though, Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve and most of the smaller hand made bourbons are as good as many of the best single malt whiskeys that come out of Ireland. I have a hard time choosing between the two products anymore.

See you in Florida?

Oh man - this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - which has a tradition of religious fundamentalism as strong as any you will ever find in the Middle East. (we elected one as president a few years back - remember?)

So YES, people believe in this stuff. In my state, which is very similar to Kentucky only we don't make Bourbon, there is a bill at this very moment in the legislature designed to allow "alternative creation science theories" to be taught in our public schools. The bill will probably not be enacted, largely because the politicians just figured out that this might allow Buddhists or some other brand of "science" to compete with their version of science.

Luckily, The good 'ol USA was founded by immigrants who feared religious persecution, so our government has to be secular and not promote religion (via our pretty solid and amazingly rational constitution). So states pass stupid laws like this all the time, and the Federal courts throw out the laws as unconstitutional.

But people are free to believe what ever they choose to believe, and as long as they leave us Pastafarians alone, I'm cool with it.

I was just at the creation museum in KY this summer (after the bourbon trail of course). It was an interesting experience, better funded than I expected... and I just love the dinosaurs on the Arc haha. I can't understand how people actually believe in this stuff. I guess the next one around the corner is the Arc amusement park (which was given large tax subsidies by the sate of KY). Don't think I'll be visiting that one.

John, I sure wish I had a bottle of Pappy van Winkle...
