Christian Creation Museum to Open in Iraq

[jontibloom]

I used to be against mindless acts of violence committed by these suicide bombers in Iraq, but in the case of the Creation Museum of Bagdhad I will make an exception.

[BristolPalinsBabyDad]

Cultural and religious imperialism is on the march!

Mission Accomplished.

[Hypergalactica]

If it were to actually be completed, how long would you figure it would be before it were bombed/burnt to the ground, it's staff/visitors brutally murdered, and it's female staff/visitors taken captive and raped? (although I'm not sure about that last part happening often in Iraq).

[TheHomelessCripple]

lol a christian in a museum in Iraq. That's going to be a total waste of money. I bet it's going to get bombed the first week after opening.

[BristolPalinsBabyDad]

@TheHomelessCripple

Let's hope so.

[Salment]

I thought the jews, christians and muslims all believed in the same creation story?

[TheHomelessCripple]

@Salment The muslim story differs slightly but the general story is the same. Allah makes adam and eve, eve is adam's bitch and has to do what ever he says, and then they and their children inbreed for several generations until the world is populated by desert hillbillies.

[sardinetea1]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ,ha...ROFL!

[tapiwakay]

lol @ the video description... epic

[jpinsonjr]

I hope this is a joke cause religion sure is!

[skyscraper83]

Yes lets fuel more religious conflicts with well more religions. This is great propaganda for Islamic extremist which I sure they use. I do hope they make that building bomb proof because it has a massive bulls eyes been painted on it.

[planetdarwin]

Yes, more crazy religious zealotry in the middle east. Great idea!!

>:/

[sweetsweatyfeet]

But of course, that's what everyone in Bagdad needs -- a creationist museum.

[ENez0]

... I can't really tell if this is true or not. =/ No landmarks for reference... xD

Poe's Law!

[mushkin2600]

0:25 THAT VERSION OF HISTORY, sure

[k8lennon]

Actually all fundies reject evolution and science in general.

Extremist Muslims, Jews, and Christians have that all in common. However, it is accepted and considered compatible to moderate Christians, Jews and Muslims alike.

[warriortaco]

Our way is so obviously right, that we don't give a flying fuck about any others beliefs. But since we are obviously right and now that we've established that most of the world is incorrect in their lifestyle, we will accept you into our faith by convincing you with flawed logic, "science" and dinosaurs. Yeah. Thats gonna work.

[gregrutz]

He is not going to find too many christians in Iraq.

[alsum501]

This is obviously made up. That wasn't Iraq

[hutchings000]

as I listen to this further.... why don't they build a hospital??? or schools??? or other buildings of reasonable purpose... I mean really...

[skitchdrews]

Wow. That certainly won't get bombed :{

[DakotaTheAtheist]

creation museum? more like a theme park. see people are so intollerant of other people's religion. they can't just let people beleive what they want

[metroidprimeribs]

I appreciate your idea of tolerance Dakota. I believe atheists deserve to have their beliefs as well. Museums dedicated to Darwinism or if that isn't your ideology then whatever yours is should have the freedom to be built given it's honorably your money paying for it. I think the government promoting creationism, evolution, or either of their agendas must be stopped. How would you like your tax money to pay for schools teaching curriculum in contradiction to your beliefs?

[gregrutz]

The government does not promote evolution. It supports science education.

Is Darwinism like Einsteinism?

[ENez0]

Is Darwinism like Einsteinism?

Fuck, that's genius. I'm adding this to my repertoire! ;)

[responder12345]

A creationist museum? That's the stupidest thing I've every heard of.

[LordBLB]

ROFL! Is this serious???

OMG like that won't be target #1 for religious fundys when the U.S. leaves...

Wow...

[hutchings000]

the US won't have to leave for it to be a target...

[ReligiousMan4God]

creationism is sin and a blasphemy to a god that gave us evolution and science so that we could have free will. Satan works in these ways to destroy gods church.

[oskop26451]

actually people who deny the word of god are destorying the church bcos theyre callin him a liar

[redmattuk]

When Satan first tempted mankind he said "did God really say that?"

You respond to Satan with "no he didn't".

He did. Read Genesis 1.

[ReligiousMan4God]

this creationism is why so many people are turning to atheism the bible never said that it was a literal interpretation

[IsThisEvenEdible]

you're exactly right.

[darkuser999]

Is this for real? Well, there are creationists in Iraq...just not of the Christian variety!!!

[rr689]

Cool, great Idea. I think we could use one in California as well.

[redmattuk]

Yeah and the UK!

[mtanti87]

Is this for real?

[chynamese]

Let this be an indication to all Christians that YOU are paying Ken Ham way too much money! Does the knowledge that even the Pope believes in evolution not register with you people? Open your eyes, and read a fucken textbook. As if bombing a country for invisible weapons of mass destruction isn't bad enough, you have to shit on their culture by introducing this abomination? I'm am deeply ashamed that we live in the same continent and more ashamed that we are the same species. Why, Ken? WHY?!?!?!

[ttllysrschristian]

Most of the people who believe in Creationism don't like the Pope. Not even a little bit.

[chynamese]

Wow, you are completely oblivious to the bigger, MORAL picture!

[CHAS1422]

I hope the Iraqi's settle down and rebuild thier country. But if they bomb that crappy transplant of deluded stupidity, I will be all too happy. I just hope nobody gets hurt.

[Batman001]

Wow, I wonder how long that will last.

[JohnMuise]

Great job Ken Ham. I want one in my town too :(

[rd1999]

Where are the suicide bombers when you need them

[kalsolarUK]

Marvellous..just what baghdad needs right now..another target for the bombs crazy people.

[mejc2]

New and more rohbust fossil evidence in the cambrian level have made it more diverse and ten times shorter than previously thouhgt. The diversity now exhibited in these fossils turns the darwinian tree of life upside down. All kinds of new stories are popping up: increased oxegen caused rapid evolution, there is no way to fossilize early life forms, ect... it is quite humorous. I'm old, I have watched them change the tale decade after decade. You will too. I hope you see the humor in it.

[ratholin]

actually increasing oxygen levels have been a mainstay of the theory of evolution. it's obvious that the period of giant insects required much more nitrogen than oxygen. I guess they just take a lot longer transfering data to your side. Science loves new information it's what makes science great, the lack of dogma and the ability to state new facts and refine or blow away old theories and replace them with working ones.

[mejc2]

sure fairy tales always love new twists and turns. Observe a fact and make up a story to go along with it. Whoever has the most interesting tale becomes the prevailing tale of the day. I love it every time I hear of a new story about evolution I don't know what's more funny the story or the refute of the story that I know is comming.

[0ffh]

good strategy! make the enemy believe in silly b*llsh*t while giving your own people a proper education!

oops, wait, they believe that sh*te themselves... MMWAHAHAHAHARRR!

[tkstka]

OMG! What the fuck this has to stop.. BEFORE THESE FUCKERS BRAINWASH ALREADY MESSED UP PEOPLE MORE FUCKED UP.. damn I can't undertand this ken guys has to been taken down.. he is against humanity.. damn christians are worst kind.

[mejc2]

Evidence supports creation and refutes evolution.

[ngarey]

I'd love to see that evidence mate. I cannot believe that they are building this was there is so much sectarian violence going on in Iraq.

[urasj]

heh, ur dumb? :P

[ratholin]

What's sad is you believe that. You can see thousands of proofs of evolution. Name one actual proof of creationism that can't be explained better by evolution. And don't give me the whole "where did everything come from?" thing an infinite and expanding universe occurring from mere probability is more likely than an infinite god occuring and then creating an infinite universe because yours is twice as unlikely. it's the same likelyhood as a hurricane hitting a junkyard and creating Einstein.

[mejc2]

According to the bible. God created all living things. We observe extinctions every day. this would leave us with a fossil record of many more diverse creatures living in the past and fewer alive today.

Evolution says life started with one and expanded to many.

Evidence shows us that many more creatures lived in the past than are alive today.

How's that for evidence.

[ratholin]

It's more thoroughly explained by evolution. When one understands the massive historical climate shifts, cataclysmic events and advances in species. Any species who couldn't survive the climate and keep ahead of the advancements of predators and prey go extinct. Eventually most species fail. Life exists by trial and error. Unlike scientists, ancestor species didn't help their slow cousins survive. If creatures had been designed there wouldn't be so many failed models burried in the dirt.

[mejc2]

That's a cute story but it is just that a story. You have observed the facts and created a story to explain it.

The bible is more likely because the bible gives an account and the evidence fits the account.

of course the evidence fits the evolutionists tale they made up their story after looking at the evidence. and now as more evidence is discovered the story must change.

[ratholin]

The theory of evolution is a changing theory that's how all science works. The law of survival of the fittest that it's based upon is a biological constant and doesn't change. All people of great intellects alter their opinions to fit evidence. People who hold opinions despite evidence are dogmatic and people who hold world views despite evidence are by the dictionary definition delusional. The bible account of creation is a primitive myth and is similar to many other cultural myths.

[ratholin]

cont.. The navajo believed humans were made of white and yellow corn, the norse believed the earth hatched from a giant egg, many cultures believe the earth is the body of a giant, dead or living. They're all basically the same as your story and they're all blatantly false but entertaining like yours. If you've ever viewed the effects of virtual particals you'd see something come out of nothing all the time just because it might. Someone coming out of nothing has never been recorded though.

[mejc2]

Discounting an historical account that agrees with the evidence because you like some story that you made up to fit the evidence better is self centered nonsense.

The theory of evolution states that all life mutated from a single life form or at least single celled life forms. The evidence from all over the world discredits this hypothesis. Evolutionists as we speak are scrambling to invent new stories to fit the new evidence.

you are correct there are many myths of which evolution is one.

[ratholin]

It's obvious that life evolved from single celled organisms (prokaryotes then eukaryotes) which over time worked symbiotically to become simple multicelled organisms (sponges etc.) No one is scrambling except in your imagination. There is no historical biblical accuracy for creation, the biblical methodology is some invisible huge guy blew into a hunk of mud and made the first fully formed homo sapiens sapiens six thousand years ago. Every bit of actual data in the world refutes that. cont..

[ratholin]

We have found ancestors who are humanoid primates but definitely not apes. Science has been saintly compared with religion. Every time science says something religion kills some guys goes home and a few centuries later accepts the truth. The earth is round, earth revolves around the sun, we're not the center of the universe, dinosaurs existed (though you're not clear on when, I blame the flintstones for putting bad ideas in gullible minds) genes exist. You're almost up to the 18th century.

[mejc2]

actually I have watched science discover what has been written in the bible. basically (I paraphrase),life started in the sea then the crawling creatures then the land animals then birds then man. cool huh!

[ratholin]

none of that is in the bible it says the earth was covered in liquid water before there was a sun. gen 1:2 1:3 FAlSE!

That there were fruit bearing trees at the same time as ferns came into being gen 1:11 FALSE

That these plants predate the sun and the moon Gen 1:16 FALSE

And chickens flew out of the ocean gen 1:20 funny but FALSE

It's just a man made myth like everyone else was telling around that time. Nothing in the telling exceded the basic human knowledge of the time.

[mejc2]

not only did it exceed human understanding at that time, it exceeds human understanding of this time.

[ratholin]

Gibberish is not wisdom and reinterpreting myths to try to make them fit the modern age is just sloth. The bible's only claim of usefulness was moral guidance but seeing as judeao christians make up 83.76% of criminals and atheists make up .209% with the rest filled by fringe religions. One is left with the view that giving up invisible forces to blaim and forgive your deeds makes you more responsible and therefore more moral.

[mejc2]

The evidence against evolution is accumulating daily. There is a great difference between what you and I consider christians. By definition a christian is one that follows Christ, Therefore if you are a criminal you are probably not following christ and probably not a christian. but that's just me. you might believe that anyone that checks off christian on a registration card of some sort is a christian.

[ratholin]

Evolution is an evolving theory it doesn't get evidence against it it gets refinements that make it better. That's why it's called a theory, because it can be built upon and improved. Like the theory of god. The old god was this brutal wanker that demanded blood and murder but in the sequel he's recast with a younger god who isn't psychotically violent. in the old book he couldn't find abel one of 4 humans but in the renaisance he became omnipresent and omniscient. cont..

[ratholin]

Omnipresence and omniscience weren't even concepts at the time the second book came out but they sounded like just the thing for a god that lived in a bigger world than just the middle east desert he grew up in. Later they tacked on the concept of the trinity which was apparently something they stole from the hindus and muddled up because there are more different books on how the trinity works than imaginable. I don't hold to the theory of god because it lacks an immutable law to back it up.

[mejc2]

You are correct evolution is a changing theory everyt time it is proven wrong they change it. The one thing that we are sure of with the theory of evolution is that it has never been right yet. It is definately funny to read though.

Lightning hit a mud puddle(primordial soup)and magically created the most complicated structure on the planet which replicated itself and mutated itself into every thing we see that is alive. Primordial soup, if that isn't funny what is.

[ratholin]

Evolution has never been proven wrong yet. If it had we'd change theories. That's how science works. I don't see you complaining when faster computers keep coming out. "Oh computers don't exist because they find things they could do better." And yeah random chemicals start forming base amino acids it's amazing I've been to a lab and seen it. God is a slothful primitive answer to hard advanced questions.

[thecommonsenseguy]

I dont know, but what i do know is funny is the creation of amino acids out of elemental compounds...now thats funny!

[ratholin]

Sorry fairies aren't science though they do appear in your book. Thus making it a fairy tale. Your book uses talking animals to explain falacious points thus it's a fable. Your book contains wizards and witches thus it's a fantasy novel. None of those things are in science. It amazes me that you get on a computer and try to insult the scientific method. Talk about crapping in the hand that feeds you.

[mejc2]

the scientific method? that's even more funny than evolution. looking at a fact and making up a story without testing or reproducing the event is not science, it's storytelling.

Primordial soup hit by lightning. Oh there's the scientific method! lol. sorry I didn't mean to laugh in your face but really.

anyway. I have great respect for the scientific method and scientists. I have a BS and MS.

It's the fairy tale of evolution that flies in the face of observable evidence that I find funny

[Discoverthetruth1]

what field are your studies in?

[ratholin]

thanks for reversing the arguement so I could understand what it's like to be on your side. I did try to be illogical like your side is but that's outstide my nature. I did however have fun seeing what it's like to be on the other side of a logical arguement presented by the namecallers who claim to be atheists like me.

[Thrashaero]

watch the series of 'foundational falsehoods of creationism' by AronRa here on youtube and let's see your smug attitude live through that.

[Thrashaero]

oh and by the way your beef with primordial soup hit by lightning has nothing at all to do with evolution.

you're THINKING of abiogenesis, but it's certainly not simply just lightning striking primordial soup. abiogenesis is not to be confused with evolution.

where'd you get your 'degrees'? what are they on? and what are you on to think you can fool people that you know a damn thing about evolution by confusing it with doubting a strawman of abiogenesis?

[mejc2]

Did I say that Abiogenesis was evolution? NO!

However if you are going to support evolution of living things in a foward direction then you must agree that there should be some backward direction also and backward always leads to the begining.

[Thrashaero]

abiogenesis is what you're referring to, dumbfuck. you just didn't know the word. of course you didn't know the word, because you think it's evolution. it isn't.

and just because there's a beginning, are you trying to tell me there's a god? sounds like a bait and switch argument, getting me to agree there's a beginning, only to switch it with your flavor of what god is. grow a brain before trying to argue with me.

[mejc2]

actually I used the word abiogenesis in my comment. so you look really stupid right now. Don't worry though, I kind of think you are quite used to it.

[DonHoraldo]

"You are correct evolution is a changing theory everyt time it is proven wrong they change it. The one thing that we are sure of with the theory of evolution is that it has never been right yet. It is definately funny to read though.

Lightning hit a mud puddle(primordial soup)and magically created the most complicated structure on the planet which replicated itself and mutated itself into every thing we see that is alive. Primordial soup, if that isn't funny what is."

where?

[mejc2]

yup

[DonHoraldo]

no where is the word abiogenesis.

as you say latter "actually I used the word abiogenesis in my comment." but in your first on the subject you say "You are correct evolution is a changing theory everyt time it is proven wrong they change it." "Lightning hit a mud puddle(primordial soup)and magically created the most complicated structure on the planet which replicated itself and mutated itself into every thing we see that is alive."

[mejc2]

My reply was to a reply that came right after I used the word abiogenesis and the idiot said i didn't understand abiogenesis. ho hum. Mere mortals...

[DonHoraldo]

no you did not. stop lying its not helping your credibility to contradict the comment record.

[mejc2]

dude. I don't lie. that's what I was doing now if you don't believe me well that's on you.

[DonHoraldo]

you made no reference to abiogenesis a before you said you did. that is a lie and what you just said "I don't lie" that was a lie to.

[mejc2]

When I relpied and said that I used abiogenesis it was after I used the word. sorry donny just wrong again but then you must be used to it so........

[DonHoraldo]

you really think I'm going to buy that you were referring to your comment "Did I say that Abiogenesis was evolution? NO!

However if you are going to support evolution of living things in a foward direction then you must agree that there should be some backward direction also and backward always leads to the begining."

[mark10051952]

Your name is a misnomer. It should be nonsenseguy. The Christian religion has expropriated every pagan event and turned it into theirs. The Hindu god krishna was born of of a virgin, his earthly father was a carpenter nad he had to leave the area he was in because a wise man warned the King that a challenger to his power was born and the king killed all the newborns. That was written 800 years before the supposed birth of christ. Sound familiar?

[thecommonsenseguy]

what r u talking about, and how does it involve me?

[mark10051952]

Provide your evidence please

[888Eck]

Reject Jesus at your peril. Be it on your own head. I used to be like you saddo's but now I fear greatly for you all.Satan is a liar and is yanking your chain.

[desioner]

Best of luck Ham. If your museum is not destroyed in the first year of operations I think it will be a great success... NOT!

[samten54]

Beat them into submission and make them believe your delusions. Ken Ham should be lightly smoked but never swallowed by Muslims.

[stevenbrannan]

Whatever your view of it, wishing it to be blown up shows your character more than anything else.

[gautamagaroo]

i hope the Muslims blow this shit up

[latinanarchist]

be expecting the fallowing

BOOM BOOM ALALALALALALAH BOOM BOOM

[guitmarc54]

WTF is going on? Got to be bullshit!

[ooglebydoogleby]

this is some kind of gag yes it cant be true were exporting thier own nonsence back to them wrapped in southern baptist environmentaly frendly propaganda. its got to be a gag. dont they have enogh irational beliefs of thier own without giving them ours.

[tab1976]

Ha ha! Nice one!

If christians are so keen to spread the word of god, maybe they should all go on missions to Saudi Arabia. Maybe they could show the Saudis that they have been grovelling before the wrong god, instead of knocking on my fucking door every weekend.

I wonder what the outcome would be....

[wildeyedliberal]

Evangelicals in the U.S.-They make stuff up as they go along.Stuff like

Iraq has MWD's and we know where they are.They accept responsibility for nothing.

God's little brown nosers.

[qaswedfrazxs]

Please tell me this video is in Nevada or Utah. .

[klard]

This is great. Now Iraqis can learn to be as fat greedy ignorant selfish bigoted and intolerant as we are in America.

[agentorange20]

what a disgrace the USA now is. it's not bad enough that we invaded the wrong country, but now we're going to attempt to persuade them with the message of religion? hello! religion is the key reason why Iraq can't get it's govt together after 5 years.

[ameliaKane]

LOL, those suicide bombers are going to pose themselves as visitors at the museum... and show them Christians what the big bang really is

[fnovax]

this is a joke..? right?

[olliegibbons]

I lol'd

[HarveyGillette]

Who's ready to start a betting pool for how many days the nutbar museum will be open before it's bombed by a similar-minded nutbar? This is juicy...like getting to watch two enemies beat the ever-loving shit out of each other!

[shresthanator]

hmmm....somehow i get the feeling its not gonna work out for them

[sojoyful]

I'm glad this is Australia behind this and not the U.S.

[darris321]

that is SO gonna be bombed.

[Tugalazix]

got that right !

[Visfen]

I hope they blow it up. Seriously.

[TrueNorth15]

is this for real????? lol

[Antitheistguy]

TOOOOOOO Funny!!!

[Evanmileus]

hahahahaha

[blueasblueis]

Shame on you Comedy Jesus! Fooling the masses that way! lol yes kids, a joke. Not real

[kungfuwookie]

phew.

[MatasakoScar]

Its amazing that the man in the video can see other religous intolerance,but is blind to his own.

[CadicusTheDamned]

Wow, this is the first time I've ever WANTED Al-Quaeda to suicide bomb something.

It's making me feel dirty.

[masxav16]

ok someone has got to confirm this isnt real so i can sleep tonight lol

[CheezMonsterCrazy]

Crud, I accidently rated it 1 star =/

5 stars ftw. I think it'll get blown to pieces... if its real... I don't think it is... I'M CONFUSED!

[healthyaddict]

LOL!

[kintarocrab]

is this true omg,

[TheKidFrom13thStreet]

...you have got to be fucking kidding me.

[creativeape]

...of course. It's ComedyJesus. ;)

[happyjesus123]

What Jesus has a sense of humor? So that is what the my mother was a virgin and I am the son of God shit was all about. Wow, it is really funny once you get the joke. Thanks.

[Philosophobia]

Shouldn't they open a school instead? Or am I out of line with this radical concept?

That's all we need is more religious crap of a different color being spread.

[badreligion333]

muslims believe in the same first 2 books of the bible plus a third book accept some of them dont beleive christ was gods kid

[grnmessiah]

That's not quite the truth--they believe that the Torah was corrupted, and very little of the New Testament is accurate. There was someone named Jesus, but he was just another prophet, like Moses. The Quran says quite explicitly that Jesus was not Allah's child. It also says that Christians are consigned to an awful doom for joining partners unto Allah (Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost).

[badreligion333]

then how come for a long time in history when in that area the muslim theocracy ruled, they lket chrristians and jews wander the streets as a normal unprosecuted person for being "people of the book"

[grnmessiah]

Does the fact that most Christian sects believe that Islamic people are going to hell necessitate that Christians persecute Muslims? I could get you ayas from the Quran supporting the view that Christians and Jews (though they are people of the book) are going to hell.

[badreligion333]

that sounds like hypocracy tho cuz from my understanding it was muhammad himself who made that rule, idk lots of this came from a history lesson and documetnary we were shown as freshman (3 years ago) so i get facts mixed up but since their people of the book their beleifs cross alot more than people realize

[Wintermute01001]

The Muslims will blow them both up.
