If ignorance is bliss, they must be very happy…

One of my personal pet peeves is creationism: the bastard child of bad theology and bad science. I’m pretty familiar with most of their silly broken arguments, so it was interesting to see many of the worst ones
drawn up in color to hang on your children’s wall.
It’s hard to actually find anything on this poster which isn’t an absolute and total fraud, barring
perhaps the copyright date. I shudder to think the number of home schooled children who are
"learning" this stuff.

Wow. I am in awe. This site is full of endless amusement for a slow Monday morning.

For some reason, the mere existence of Neanderthal man is proof of Creationism. What’s up with that?

According to a creationist, everything is evidence of creation. There can be nothing which is inconsistent with their particular interpretation of Genesis. Any evidence which is in conflict is obviously the work of Satan.

Think I’m kidding? Witness the

Statement of Faith promoted by Answers In Genesis, one of the major centers of creationist
“scholarship”.
