Funniest thing ive read in a while..

Yeah, good point.

 

 

 

You know, I find it funny that the majority of the users in this forum talk about how much they dislike Christians and Christianity as a whole, then they make stupid, meaningless topics about how funny some Christian museum in Kentucky is. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't post this kind of stuff. Stop trying to disprove Christianity, because even if you do eventually, the "truly faithful" Christians won't believe you, no matter how much proof you have. I mean, I could make as many biased views on "how mean and nasty" atheists are, just like many of you form biased views on how all Christians are, but most don't. You're the ones being ignorant, not them.

 

Oh, and for the record, I'm not a Christian, and I don't claim to be one, nor am I an atheist/agnostic. I just find it funny that you guys can't keep your mouth shut over something you just don't get. It's called faith, and some people have it because they grew up with it. Some people don't because they chose to actually think about it. Deal with it, because that's life. And please, don't laugh at other's people's beliefs, it just makes you look bad.

Opponents argue that children who see the exhibits will be confused when they learn in school that the universe is 14 billion years old rather than 6,000.

 

 

 

 

 

Because the universe has a finite age (~13.7 billion years) we can only see a finite distance out into space: ~13.7 billion light years.

 

 

 

Wrong! Get your facts straight!

Oh and I feel like doing this. NASA says it's the horizon that's 13.7 billion years old. The universe is infinite, so it has an infinite age. If it's infinite now, it has always been infinite and was never at a zero volume. Plus the Big Bang wasn't an explosion.

 

 

 

Damn you Guiness Book of Records! The Big Bang isn't the biggest explosion ever because it isn't an explosion! lol

Yeah, good point.

I feel I need to defend my position as an atheist.

 

 

 

1) I don't dislike christianity on the whole or christians at all.

 

2) I'm not the kind to go around trying to disprove a religion. Kind of a tall order seeing as one's faith (if they have it) will always try and sidestep pieces of evidence that counter it.

 

3) Yes, some atheists can be mean and nasty, just like a fraction of any population on the planet can be mean and nasty.

 

4) I'm not one to laugh at one's belief or faith. If they have them, I have no problems with that.

 

 

 

The point I'm making is that your post was a bit of a generalisation. Not all atheists are like that and I'd argue a minority are, just like a minority of christians are biblical literalists like the dudes who made this museum.

 

 

 

My bag with this museum is that it's counter to what true science is and is nothing more than a propaganda tool for giving the masses a tangible reason to believe i.e. using what they call science to justify thier belief in the hope that others will believe what they do.

 

 

 

I honestly have no problems with people believing in the literal truth of the bible. But the fact that they would screw up the one thing so decent and good in this world that separates us from the primative and gives us a wealth of knowlege and well being - science - just to furthur gratify thier beleifs, disturbs me.
