The Terror Adam’s Sin Unleashed: … T-Rex!

Let us turn to Genesis, chapter 2: And the Lord said to Adam, “Dude, seriously. I’m telling you for the last time: if you eat that apple, I’m sending a fricking Tyrannosaurus Rex.”

The Creation Museum presents the Biblical Creation story in a bizarro wonderland where you can eat your cotton candy and harken back to bygone days of yore when life was simpler, people talked to their neighbors, and every once in a while the local wildlife ate one of your children.

Here’s an honest-to-goodness quote from the site:

“T. rex: the real king of the beasts. That’s the terror that Adam’s sin unleashed! You’ll run into this monster lurking near Adam and Eve. How’s this possible? Find out soon!” (See the actual T-Rex link here.)

Soon? Ooh! I can’t wait!

Note the people standing around looking. You can kind of imagine the lady with her hands on her hips saying, “Huh. Weird.” The old gentleman in the blue shirt looks like he bought a bag of T-Rex food at the concession stand and isn’t sure what to do with it now. And the guy in the red shirt doesn’t really seem to be that impressed. I sure am.

I hope you don’t exhaust yourself laughing. You’ll need your energy when the velociraptors show up on Judgment Day to separate the sheep from the goats… and then eat both.

…

Now, seriously. This is funny, but deep down it makes my blood boil. These punks are spending $25 million to demonstrate their stubborn idiocy in the name of Jesus? Arr. Why don’t they just go back to standing on the street corner informing random folks of their eternal destiny? It’s certainly cheaper.

(Thanks to Luke for pointing out the Creation Museum.)

What do you mean? You are against people demonstrating thier beliefs? Perhaps you are against the holocaust museum?

What do you mean by demonstrate their stubborn idiocy ?

Thanks for your question, friend.

By “stubborn idiocy” I meant that they are so committed to justifying or “proving” their wholly authentic beliefs that they are apparently willing to manufacture outrageous solutions to the inconsistencies that exist.

I make these comments not as a critic of the Christian faith, but as a believer. I am oversensitive to the issue of creation vs. evolution because I believe it to be mostly irrelevant to the core of what Jesus taught and modeled. I think some people just use the Bible and Jesus as a “shortcut to being right” as Brian McLaren puts it.

Some Christians would rather be right than good and that is what makes my blood boil. I’m quite willing to bet that the folks building this monument to intellectual suicide in the name of God are so caught up in the petty game of proving themselves right when it comes to an unprovable issue that they have neglected justice and mercy for those Jesus describes in Matthew 25 – the “least of these”.

Were those last words of my original post too strong? Yes.

But did they express how I feel? Yes.
