UK Creation Museum: Part 3 (A national disgrace and a local embarrassment)

[dmjuly07]

0:50 for a second I thought they were going to say- "the character for two, and the character for man"

[misterstarwars]

Where's a suicide bomber when you need em?

[0riole11]

Ahhhhh the stupid it burns

[EvilEuropean]

The stupid...IT BURNS!

[BoredInfidel]

Jesus titty-shitting Christ.

The use of Chinese characters is as easily debunked as Ray Comfort's bananas simply because they have been modified over time. Earlier forms of 先 were written as a combination of 'stop' (止) and 'person' (人) and this character meant 'dead ancestors'. The change in meaning and strokes gradually happened over the centuries just like the modification of bananas.

[dave28lax]

Oh deary, deary me. Good job I'm a Brit, and know that <1% over here is are religious nut jobs like these retards....otherwise I might be concerned.

[martiangrundy]

Pretty damn cheesy. doesn't look like they had loads of dollars to throw at this, unlike in the USA.

It seems they are using all the same old tricks though, I really don't see it going down too well over here. I have NEVER yet heard anyone admit to being a creationist here in the UK (not in person), the level of ridicule would be hard to take, they would be totally throwing away any credibility they originally had.

I'm disgusted this is even in Europe, never mind the UK.

[paulbottomley42]

@martiangrundy: I've spoken to street preachers who have used the argument "Well then who made the trees?" And I've replied, no one, they evolved - or something similar, and oh my god, the look they gave me. Pitying, I think best describes it. "Oh, you don't believe in evolution, do you?" they asked.

Their number is small, but they're out there, and they do stand up for their batshit insane beliefs. Always surprised me so much to hear that with a British accent I was pretty lost for words.

[1n354a]

good god - bastardizing Science is one thing but now they are pulling Chinese language into their web of ignorance???

f*cking creationists.

[ChaozXIII]

@1n354a

I know right, this is dispicable. Im chinese and this horrible. And this universe is in no way built for life

[Kattarina98]

Some years ago, the secretary of education of the Federal State of Hessia (Germany) tried to introduce "Intelligent Design" into science classes - she is a fundie. It caused a scandal, the plan was shelved, but as you said, they will try again.

[stinagen]

the dinosaur looked like a retarded green Barny

[opaldragon75]

Cancer is the right word!

My heart goes out to you and your country.

[bads06]

no more... my eyes hurt from sheer stupidity... O.O

[bads06]

WTF?

首先 - First

開始 - Beginning

覬覦 - Covet

船 - Boat <--- 八 see the strokes carefully, it's not eight, but 人 meaning man.

Chinese Characters do not tell stories, Chinese Characters are typically pictograms'

And what does it have to do with the Bible? Bullcrap...

[CheesesPeaks2U]

I have to wonder whether Prof R. Dawkins is aware that this aberration exists more or less on his doorstep.

There is a great programme right there waiting to be exposed.

[Venator70]

I've decided that I want to take a trip down to see this for myself at some point.

AiB: Will you be doing a review of the 'museum', adding in your own thoughts on some of the more blatant lies? Or are you happy to leave that to others?

Take Care and RAmen!

Ven

[Venator70]

4:14 Retardosaurus for the Epic Fail!

(Apologies to such a creature if it ever existed. In the event of this, I want one! Atheistic Satanic Biologists of the world. Get Genineering!)

[AcanLord]

That bit on Chinese characters / kanji seems to be trying to use coincidence to support itself.

[Widgetas]

I hope you told the guy what you thought... Gits.

Now I have to hope that this place isn't funded in any way by the public purse.

[Widgetas]

The bloody Anthropic principle. They never seem to get that - if it wasn't 'just so' then likely we wouldn't be here to have this ludicrous argument. Morons.

Ps - the "rate of spin" is changing by the nanosecond.

I dislike them intensely.

[BlowDevilUp]

It gets better after 4 minute mark =)

[BlowDevilUp]

Why am I watching this tripe?

[sabertooth1980]

To let yourself know that it is out there.

Ignorance isn't bliss, it's suicide.

[MoscowMaestro]

I wonder why filming's not allowed? You'd think they would need every supporter they can kind for this wacko gibberish.

[notnotnotavailable]

I just about managed to watch one installment of this video, cringing at the errors that came thick and fast.

However, although I think we should do all we can to promote proper understanding of evolution and ensure that these loons are not allowed to present this stuff in schools in science lessons, I think it is very dangerous to think that it is the job of the government to 'protect' the public from seeing it.

[musicgeniusno1]

Sigh. How pathetic and embarassing that this exists in the UK. It wasn't swarming with people anxious to see " the truth " thankfully ha! ;)

Good work AIB. It must have been very frustrating for you to see all that rubbish. So, back to the real world. :)

[zthustra]

It wasn't easy watching this crap for 30 minutes. Thank you AnswersInBooks for you stomached much more than I could to have gotten all of that footage. I keep threatening to visit the so-called Creation Museum in KY but I don't guess my heart is really in it. If there wasn't money to made and tax advantages, I deariously doubt that anyone would invest in displays like this.

[Paxmax]

These fuggin nuts belongs in the ages when trepanning was the latest shitz in medical sciences to cure just about any problem with the mind....

[usgbitJS]

can actually someone verify those explanations of chinese characters?

[Zoppellaccia]

Talkorigins(dot)org covered this issue.

As a personal opinion, i don't see how the Chinese could know the flood story so in detail and yet have absolutely no Noah's ark-like flood myth in their culture

[wolfwing1]

heh the chinese have their own flood story, but if I remember it right, either they were turned into fish, or the flood just reached nearly the tops of the highest mountains where all the animals and humans hid till the water receded after like 20 years. Plus, I bet most world wide flood origins are based upon finding fossil's at top of mountains rather then why they are there.

[comface]

Did he stop you filming? What happened?

[Alisterwolf66]

Ah, the bane of free speech - the drive to state glaring falsities as fact.

I lost count of the quote mines and self-implications in there...

[phenixwryter]

Wow-your trip to the Genesis Expo (which should be called The Crazy Creationist Museum) was quite an experience to share. I started out feeling infuriated at the rampant stupidity on display, but somewhere in the middle, it all became hilarious. What a bunch of wacktards.

I have wacktards living around me, too.

Kudos to you for making these great videos and thanks taking us along!

[flyingfisbeefilms]

Who's narrating this stuff? I recognise the male voice - did he just take the money and run?

[dunndudebemelol]

Norse mythology pwns this shit

[mikethebiped]

I am utterly stupified. And here I was thinking that these social thought abortions were strictly an American phenomenon.

[wumpusthis]

"...created heaven and earth. [Man] Of course he did." My thoughts exactly, except with much different emphasis.

Is that Barney the Dinosaur's predecessor at the entrance? The video enhancement on the "Man with Dino" painting makes the man look much like Elvis in Las Vegas gear. Very nice.

[dewonthegrass]

What a lot of nonsense!

[spaceman300]

The Museum Of Bull Shit....!

[TheProf1988]

most of those fossils are fake from morocco

[pete975]

a museum dedicated to ignorance and falsehood

[soulinite]

lol. I'm sorry this stupidity isn't limited to the southern US.

[tattooskin72]

After watching these... all I can say is... "I'm sorry this "museum" has brought so much taint to your home." It's awful

[pippodeltrappeto]

How could something like that simply exist?? Oh right...religions....

[megafire7]

That is so sad.

[unixhead101]

How embarrassing for us in the UK. At least Ken Ham has all those cool animatronics and shit.

[SiManRevolution]

"The chinese picture langue we see in take out shops..."

Holy shit.

Some funny shit in that "Museum"

[nashertheatheist]

If it were me, I would go up to the person at the entrance and ask him if he is aware of the vast amount of factual inaccuracy in his museum.

[tomrad12]

This scares me alot. I knew there was a growing amount of creationism in Britian but not to the extent that this sort of clap trap would be able to exist

[Scoforever]

Where do they get the people who do the commentary in these museums.

[Kattarina98]

My thought exactly! What actress / actor would sink so low to do this?

[Hjernespreng]
