People against science

Scary...

I really don't know how to respond to the other than what PZ says other than to say that yes, batshit crazy is pretty accurate.

I also had mentioned previously about the Cabazon Dinosaurs museum in Cabazon, CA (near Palm Springs). Its a creation museum. Yes, they believe that god created the earth and all things on it somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 - 10000 years ago, dinos and humans coexisted and yes even dinos were on noahs ark. I unfortunately am on call but possibly next week, assuming I don't have some other work related thing going on, I may actually roll down there and take a look. I have seen the things from the freeway and have even been there when I was a little kid but I don't believe it was a museum at the time. Ill leave any other comments till I have actually been there.

Its funny as when I told my mom a while back that people actually believe that the earth is only 6000 years old, that all the fossils are supposedly either lies by scientists or that the devil put them there to test peoples faith, she thought I was full of it. Yes, people actually believe this stupid shit, nevermind the insane amount of evidence that proves (yes, PROVES) evolution. One thing I recently heard that even if we didn't have any other fossils or observable evidence, just the genetic evidence is enough to show that evolution occurs. But according to these crazies, its a conspiracy.
