Creation Museum II

The Cincinnati Enquirer has a duel guest columns about the Creation Museum. The anti- Museum piece uses this quote to buttress their argument

For instance, it ignores the wealth of DNA sequencing data, accepted universally as the gold standard for identity and relatedness, showing that humans and fruit flies share 43 percent of their genes, that humans and chimpanzees are 98 percent identical....

In my mind, this is one of the things that has me question the whole theory of evolution. How is it that over millions and millions of years, millions of genetic mutations, the fact we have nearly identical DNA with chimps and yet somehow we are the only species of the animal kingdom that can build a car, an airplane, a building for shelter, make movies and music, etc.... Count 'em again.... there is only ONE species out of all these millions.

If chimps have 98 percent of our DNA, you'd think they'd at least be able to come up with the wheel, build a spear for protection or even have politicians and lawyers.

Has anyone ever considered that on this entire planet, every species of plant and animal has only one reason for existence, survival, and the only reason to survive is to procreate and regenerate their population. The only species that brings meaning to life, is able to reason, and is able to have compassion for others is the human species.

Once again, the scientists failed to address micro v. macro evolution, where something comes from nothing and the fact that evolution is a theory not scientific law; like the Law of Gravity.

You see with scientific law, you can repeat an experiment and predict the results. With theory you can only guess the future results and, in this case, we can't even come up with an experiment.

I'm always preaching that when someone says something vile and wrong your best course of action is to ignore it. By vociferously objecting to someone else's ridiculous discourse, you add legitimacy to their point of view and that's what I find unbelievable in this case.

If this museum was built around the supposition that Mickey Mouse was the origin of life, do you think these scientists would be writing all these types of columns? Now, I'm curious as to what they don't want me to see when I probably never would have given this thing the time of day.

I'll see you there when it opens.
