Re: BeingChristian does not mean you must remain ignorant.
Keys, being a Christian does not mean you have to check your brain at the door.
Yes, but being the kind of Christian that Ken Ham and, apparently, keys, advocates does.
The "museum" pits human reason against God's word in display after display effectively informing people that using their brains is not encouraged by God
For more images and a review of the "museum" in Kentucky go here. Take note of the mention of a "christian academy" called LCA and the link to some excerpts from the biology text used there.
Freaky shit.

Re: BeingChristian does not mean you must remain ignorant.
So, unless you had some science here to prove that there was no God, don't mind if some of us check your brain at the door.
The burden of proof is not on me, but you, my friend and all the others who put forward the idea of a supernatural entity (for which we have NO evidence). OTOH, my position is well evidenced. The burden again falls upon you to falsify the evidence, although doing so does not automatically make your belief correct, of course.
Oh, and I would thank you kindly if you left my brain alone...it goes through all doors with me.

Re: BeingChristian does not mean you must remain ignorant.
What position? That there is no God??? I thought you just said there was no evidence? Make up your mind.
The position that accepts the evidence for evolution as discovered through human reason. I thought that was the obvious position as we were discussing the museum display and its message.
On the contrary, I have no need to prove what is well known. The reason you have no evidence is because you ignore it, and set up a belief system that ignores it, and a knowledge system that ignores all but the material. Why ignore this?
Because there is no evidence for it. I admit that I cannot disprove the existence of God, but neither can you disprove the existence of Krishna or Zeus or Mara or Amun (all pretty well known either now or in their time). Does that make you believe in them or do you pretty much ignore them?
Not this one. You must check it at the door, and admit that there is more dealt with in the museum than your brain can deal with.
Yeah, I do have to kind of take it all in in spurts. Laughing so much makes my cheeks hurt.
