Creationism Hath No Place at the Museum of Natural History
December 21, 2009 199 CommentsFor this alternative news video, the good people at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City were kind enough to give me a private tour of the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, and I was kind enough to repay them by questioning all their scientific knowledge, beliefs, and general credibility. Why? Because there are a lot of Young Earth Creationists out there who believe that radioactive dating methods are nothing more than heaps of bunk, that our planet has only been around as long as people have been, somewhere in the vicinity of 4,000 years. They believe in a literal interpretation of the creation story in the Bible, that God created everything in 7 days and 7 nights, and that the story of Noah’s Ark really happened. Everyone is allowed to believe whatever they want in my book, but my big question is why don’t creationists seem to think the same thing? They seem to be on a war path to make sure everyone believes what they do and refutes any scientific knowledge or discovery that proves otherwise. And this, I cannot tolerate. Especially from a bunch of quacks. Oops! Did I say that? So yes, I took advantage of my private tour of the museum to speak to the incredible exhibits in a way that a creationist would. I could say it was to start a conversation, but I’d be lying. I did it because it was damn good fun. And the people at the Museum were damn good to not toss me out from the moment I opened my critical little mouth. So I hope you enjoy this video, the fruits of my being a total ass to a really smart, sweet geologist doctor lady.

I’m not too sure it’s fair to suppose that creationists aren’t allowing people to believe what they want, rather to ut forward their views. Though it is possible they are of the view that (since it comes from Scripture as inspired by God, who does not lie) it must be absolute truth.
My personal view (as an evangelical Christian) is that whilst it is easy to take such a (purely literal) reading of the Bible, it is hard to square with the scientific evidence, and many young-earth claims don’t seem to be conclusive and can at times exhibit wilful ignorance. This is not to say that the literal reading of Genesis could not be true, but that there are other ways of interpreting it. *That* God created the universe and remains active in it, I do not question. How, and how long, is another matter.

[..YouTube..] Faith isn´t science at all? And this woman believes one of those weird Cambrian marine creatures evolved into humans, of course given enough time roughly 600 millions years let alone AAAAAAALL the creatures along the road with no evidence whatsoever, isn´t that to be a faithfull scientist? oooh my random mutatations and natural selection that´s is not faith, it´s blind and stupid faith…period

[..YouTube..] @Artemisgoldfish Well no, not really. “There is no solid proof for God” would make sense. Also something Agnostic. But being 100% Atheist isn’t that much different from being a 100% Theist.

[..YouTube..] Very funny piece of satire Theresident, enjoyed it very much. Did the scientist know or did you make them think you was being serious. Anybody who doesn’t think that she’s joking in the vid then just check out the clips description box “Creationism is weird”, that should tell you the beautiful ladies position (don’t think dirty things now)
