Default How silly...Ken Ham's "science fair"

Ken Ham will be hosting a science fair at his miserable "creation museum" in the near future, to be funded in part by Answers in Genesis. Homeschoolers and faith school students welcome, but your science project has to be approved first, and you must agree to the AiG "Statement of Faith" before even being allowed to participate.

That statement can be found here, and it's positively ridiculous. In order to be a part of the science fair, you must state that you believe the Bible is accurate not only in theology but science and history, that the flood actually happened and caused most of the fossil record, that the earth was created in the last 10,000 years over six literal 24-hour days, and that anything other than heterosexual consensual sex in the missionary position for the purpose of reproduction within marriage is a blasphemous evil and ought to be eradicated. Of course, for the people who actually want to attend the fair that shouldn't be a problem, but for us reasonable folks it's an insult to science and common sense.

It's not 'science', and it's not 'fair' to gay people. So, false advertising suit, here I come!

*calls lawyer* =D

"12. The only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of marriage. Any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, incest, fornication, adultery, pornography, etc., are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex."

That's not much of a gift now, is it?

OMG OMG OMG. I am actually seriously excited for this!!!

I hope they realise that fornicating is the act of having sex...

GARGH! *pulls out sledgehammer and smashes something*
People like that just infuriate me! You can believe what you want. Just don't shove it in my face! Building a museum to creationism is what I'd call shoving it in my face.

Well you do realise, in their books, having sex is evil! Of the very most evil kind! Noooo... We can't have sex! That would be a sin!

Fortunatly in France, very few people believe in such an amount of crap.
