You're all going to hell

Bon vivant John Scalzi has an incredible photo essay about a visit to the Creation Museum. It really has to be seen to be believed--we've wasted a good portion of the morning wading through about half the images. This is--we kid you not--a diarama that depicts dinosaurs boarding Noah's Ark. And, it just gets wilder. Be sure to read his captions, as well as assorted snark from the Flickr Peanut Gallery.

In case it wasn't already obvious, this is via that godless heathen, PZ Myers.

Oooh, is this the one where kids can enter a replica of the Ark and hear all the sinners screaming and drowning outside?

America - it's all kind of bizarre! :-)

Good gravy! Uh ... so all these 'regular' animals existed at the same time as the dinosaurs ... *and* all the 'developed' humans as well...

That is SO bizarre.

"Help! Everything urban is inherently godless and terrifying!"

LOL

I'd go there, but 1) it's far away 2) The entrance cost is like 5 ponies or almost one AG outfit, and 3) I wouldn't take the pentacle off, so I'd probably step inside and catch on fire.

I want a "[b]Thou Shall Not Touch![/b] Please" sign

I like the picture of Adam with the strategically placed lamb.

"Dioramageddon" is an awesome word. I hope to have a reason to use it in the future.

I think "Supervolcanoes" are just super. They're way better than lame regular volcanoes.

Did they quote Popeye in there? I swear, they quoted Popeye

"I am what I yam"

Damn.

I think the obvious way to start this tour (and at first I thought it was the line to Thunder Mountain) would be to smoke a little medical grade first. Or Prozac.

Damn, I wants to see the Men in White movie. Especially if it's this one

Poor dinosaurs, floating off in the Great Flood. Who knew?

I managed to just smirk a lot until I got to the photo of the placard that says, "Does the Bible explain dinosaurs?" and read the comment from the person who said "It's probably too much to hope that this entire exhibit was just a giant statue of the word 'NO'", and then I started to laugh, and oh shit, I couldn't STOP!!
