The Anti-Museum

Here’s a highly entertaining account of a trip to the Creation Museum in Kentucky, by Daniel Phelps, president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society: The Anti-Museum.

Well, it would be highly entertaining if it weren’t so very sad.

The Dragon Theater features a short video on dinosaurs that absurdly argues they were in the Bible and were around until at least Medieval times where they were called dragons. Much of the narration is done by the same actor that played the paleontologist in the “Last Adam” video and whose likeness was used at the “Dinosaur Dig Site.” Most of the film is taken up by a cheesy retelling of the legend of St. George and the Dragon. Widespread dragon legends in other cultures are also mentioned. According to artwork in the film, children in ancient Japan even had pet Stegosaurs. Creationist paleontologist Kurt Wise (a Harvard Graduate, who now works for the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, KY) tells the audience that Behemoth and Leviathan from the book of Job are likely to be dinosaurs. Wise also claims that dinosaur extinction was likely due to post-Flood climate change and the sudden rarity of certain gymnosperm plants that dinosaurs munched on before the Flood. This video is certainly the low point of Dr. Wise’s career.
