Dinny the roadside dinosaur has found religion.
Dinny's new owners, pointing to the Book of Genesis, contend that most dinosaurs arrived on Earth the same day as Adam and Eve, some 6,000 years ago, and later marched two by two onto Noah's Ark. The gift shop at the attraction, called the Cabazon Dinosaurs, sells toy dinosaurs whose labels warn, "Don't swallow it! The fossil record does not support evolution."
The Cabazon Dinosaurs join at least half a dozen other roadside attractions nationwide that use the giant reptiles' popularity in seeking to win converts to creationism. And more are on the way.
"We're putting evolutionists on notice: We're taking the dinosaurs back," said Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, a Christian group building a $25-million creationist museum in Petersburg, Ky., that's already overrun with model sauropods and velociraptors.
You'll find some responsible opposing viewpoints at the bottom of the article, but by that time my will to live had been drained to the point that control-C was beyond my capabilities.
This is the wormhole of shit-stupidity our nation is spiralling slowly down.
Every time the USA makes a decision based on theology instead of science (stem cells, cloning, teaching 'intelligent design' in school), China laughs its ass off.
