...but attributed to Ham it has unfortunate implications.
Ham would have been best advised to have kept this mouth shut about this rather difficult (for him personally) and completely understandable move by the Smithsonian; receiving and displaying a
donated nearly complete T-Rex skeleton.
With the proper attributions, isn't Ham's position still a bit difficult? Ham has a museum full of fake dinosaurs posed in made up situations that cannot be justified by the Bible [1], and he complains about the acquisition of the most complete real T-rex skeleton ever found. Isn't Ham's Ark, being subsidized by the state of Kentucky, the 5th poorest state in the union?
And then there is the "we're not racists, we hate everybody" crap straight from Ham's web page:
quote:
Some of these atheist bloggers claim we are racist because we discuss that certain people in Africa are descended from Noah’s son Ham. But they fail to explain that we teach that many different people groups descended from Ham, including the Chinese.
The T-Rex will attract tons of visitors to the Smithsonian. I am definitely going first chance I get.
[1] I am aware that some people believe that the Bible depicts men being contemporaneous with dinosaurs. I find that to be a stretch, but riding them Flintstone style as is shown in Ham's museum? Please. This crap does much harm to Christianity.
