Object: In the News: Dinosaurs, Bible meet in Pensacola
From the article:
-----------------------------------------------
A creationist theme park promotes the idea that the Earth is 6,000
years old. The scientific community puts the age of Earth at 4.5
billion years.
BY ALEXANDRA ALTER
PENSACOLA - The hand-painted sign outside the parking lot promised a
Darwin-free dinosaur encounter: ``Where Dinosaurs and the Bible
meet!''
Inside Dinosaur Adventure Land, a creationist theme park that sits
behind a string of car dealerships on a busy commercial strip in
Pensacola, a group of 50 home-schooled children romped in the muggy
afternoon heat.
Some played on the Long Neck Liftasaurus swing seat, while others dug
for fossils or tossed water balloons at a T-Rex and stegosaurus
zip-lined down the Pterodactyl Glide while learning ``the truth about
dinosaurs.''
''Dinosaurs were big lizards who lived with Adam and Eve,'' park
founder Kent Hovind told children and their parents during a
presentation on dinosaurs and the book of Genesis.
Hovind, an evangelist and former earth-science teacher, launched the
amusement park in 2001 to promote young earth creationism -- the
belief that God created the Earth and all of its inhabitants in six
days 6,000 years ago. Most scientists estimate that the Earth is about
4.5 billion years old.
''The goal is to start thousands of these,'' he said.

Location Report!
The place has re-opened. It's a bit confusing, considering that it was
shut down by court order a few months ago. I'll try to score some pics
soon.

Well hell. I thought the place had been shut down due to hovind's
building the place without getting permits. Not even a blip in the paper
here about it re-opening.
I'll have to drive by and inspect the premises--with a camera, of course.

LOL! The horror! The.... HORROR! Imagine Creationists' Wal-Marts

cut-rate prices. "We will meet or beat any other cult's prices on
superstition and occult insanity, or burn you at the stake!"

Wouldn't that be the place where we see the Parson's feet waggling about
in the T-rex's mouth?

Sort of where the robber meets the toad?

PENSACOLA - The hand-painted sign outside the parking lot promised a
Darwin-free dinosaur encounter: ``Where Dinosaurs and the Bible
meet!''

Inside Dinosaur Adventure Land, a creationist theme park that sits
behind a string of car dealerships on a busy commercial strip in
Pensacola, a group of 50 home-schooled children romped in the muggy
afternoon heat.

Some played on the Long Neck Liftasaurus swing seat, while others dug
for fossils or tossed water balloons at a T-Rex and stegosaurus
zip-lined down the Pterodactyl Glide while learning ``the truth about
dinosaurs.''

''Dinosaurs were big lizards who lived with Adam and Eve,'' park
founder Kent Hovind told children and their parents during a
presentation on dinosaurs and the book of Genesis.

Hovind, an evangelist and former earth-science teacher, launched the
amusement park in 2001 to promote young earth creationism -- the
belief that God created the Earth and all of its inhabitants in six
days 6,000 years ago. Most scientists estimate that the Earth is about
4.5 billion years old.

''The goal is to start thousands of these,'' he said.

He mis-spelt "gaol"...

Well, if Piltdown man doesn't mean that all hominid transitional
fossils are fakes, then presumably Kent Hovind doesn't mean that all
YECs are frauds or fools (okay, the actual evidence from genes,
fossils, etc. does tend to indicate that, but such evidence has nothing
to do with the tax code). And probably few of the people who seek out
a "Darwin-free encounter" ""where dinosaurs and the Bible meet" are
going to be dissuaded from either YECism or swallowing bad arguments
for it just because Hovind is having a little problem with the IRS.
The larger social phenomenon of young-earth creationism (which is
presumably why the _Miami Herald_ is interested in this) will not go
away with Kent Hovind.

'We were thinking our readers would like it?'

I have wondered at this (though you may have explained it elsewhen).
Did this little beauty get an award for intentional or unintentional
aptness?

I asked myself the same question when I first saw it. The cluelessness
could have happened at one of three levels (at least). Did the student
sincere write this. Did the student write it with the quotee being
clueless or did the quotee have the wit to describe "Her" in this manner?
