Sex scandal rocks Kentucky’s worldclass Creation Museum

Via AMERICAblog, Julie Carr Smyth of the Associated Press is reporting the following scandal of scandals:
Actor’s Risque Past Halts ‘Adam’ Film
The man who plays Adam in a video aired at a Bible-based creationist museum has led a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a clothing line that promotes free love.
After learning about his activities Thursday, the Creation Museum in Kentucky pulled the 40-second video in which he appears.
[...]
The actor, Eric Linden, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat, where he has been pictured, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo. The Web site, which has a network of members, allows users to post explicit stories and photos.
[...]
Linden said he is very proud to play Adam. “But just because I’m Adam on the screen, that doesn’t mean I’m Adam off the screen,” he said. “What I do shouldn’t have anything to do with who they think Adam is.”
The clip he appears in is one of 55 featured on tours of the museum, near Cincinnati in Petersburg, Ky. The museum tells the Bible’s version of Earth’s history — the planet was created in a single week just a few thousand years ago.
[...]
“For the Creation Museum, I did what I did as an actor. It doesn’t necessarily mean I believe in evolution or a believe in creation,” Linden said. “I’m hired to get a point across. On the flip side, if I was hired to play a murderer, that doesn’t mean I’d go out and kill somebody. It’s make-believe.”
Yes, Eric, it’s all make-believe: $27-million of make-believe to be exact.
Also, could the creators of the Creation museum have been a little more creative and gotten someone other than a white American guy to play Adam? Of course, I guess these Creationists have some explanation for the origins of the various races of humans, and they wouldn’t want their kiddos to think that their race isn’t God’s official tribe, would they?

Wouldn’t it be great if someone made a porn film with Marilyn Chambers as Eric’s mom?
Creationists are Fundamentalists and Fundamentalists believe that dark skinned people are decendents of Ham (Noah’s son). They believe that Ham was on the Ark and when the Ark hit land the occupants celebrated and got drunk. They believe Ham “boned” Noah while he was passed out and God punished him by turning his skin black.
This thinking Christian gives creationism AND hate (racism) two opposable thumbs down!
“Of course, I guess these Creationists have some explanation for the origins of the various races of humans”
Of course they do. It’s called the Tower of Babel. Before the Tower, all people were of Anglo-Saxon descent. When the Anglo-Saxons tried to build a tower to G/d, G/d smited them by mixing them into lots of groups, each with their own language. The story doesn’t say anything explicit about race, but that’s the implication.
Isn’t it more than a little ironic that the founder of the museum is named HAM? If his father was named Ham, he’s a Son of Ham. And he’s white. How does that work?
I continue to be amazed at how much time and effort the devout believers in mythology will dedicate to supporting their delusions. Reason and logic have obviously brought about a stark reversal of their nonsense, and challenged them to erect such silly monuments to ignorance as the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Surely all Kentuckians are not so naive?
Seeing as how Kentuckians run this website, I guess you have the answer to your questions, James, about whether all Kentuckians are so naive.
Jeff: The reason that Mr. Ham is white is that Ham is a pork product, and pork is the other white meat.
Brian is being too sensible; he’ll never make a good creationist. The reason that Mr. Ham is white is that God said so and no arguments to the contrary shall be entertained.
And to James Randi (is this ‘The Amazing Randi’ or a cheap ripoff?): yes there are sensible and intelligent people in Kentucky just as there are Democrats in Indiana (not that I’m a supporter of democrats either). To misquote Rene Descartes: “les idiots sont les choses du monde la mieux partagees”. Or to misquote quotes about Grenoble: “dans chaque rue, un idiot”.
I associated his name with pigs, not the son of Noah. That’s what I get for being an irreligious commie.
I think this guy sung about how there was no evolution. Or should I say EVILution?
Perhaps the REAL God took the legs of one very innocent little girl at Six Flags Ky as a sign that the folks who created the Creation Museum are to be burned in hell…..
Forever.
I know… it’s terrible, but what did you expect? =(

I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding s worldclass Creation Museum, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong
What are you talking about?? The Anglo-saxons wouldnt want their kids to beleive that they arent God’s official race?
Have you even read part of the old testament? On nearly every page it states explicitly the JEWS are God’s chosen people, and everyone else are Gentiles (foreigners). How do you think everyone feels?
Ignorance is bliss I guess. You fools who say there is no God, believe that life came from rocks, talk about blind faith. If you evolved from an ape, which you may have, how come there are still apes? Can you explain how the first Monarch Butterfly came to be?
Where do you all think life came from? Do you actually belive in the spontaneous creation of life? one day there’s rock…millions of years later there is somehow there’s life??? Do you think all living things (humans, mosquito, elephants, etc) evolved from one single cell ameabo? why are humans different than the rest of the creation? To me believing in evolution is crazier than believing in God.

Dear Bobby & John.
Your probbing questions have answers in any textbook. There are other books beside the bible. I hope you know about it. This so called creation “science” is so insane that I suspect most of the proponents of it, that do not have some cognitive disability, are simply sociopaths.
It is opined that Bill Clinton committed racist hate crimes, and I am not free to say anything further about it.

Children learn in school that the world is millions of years old and that there have been no changes except what man has done.
We have all heard that it took the Colorado river millions of years to carve out the grand canyon, but why should we believe that the Colorado was never bigger?
We have all learned that life originated as a single cell organism; but why is it that all life on earth is either one cell, or thousands of cells?
Why is it that students are never allowed to question the current beliefs? How many times have scientists been blinded by their beliefs- Science taught us that the world was flat- scientists made us believe that the earth was the center of the universe. Why is it that an idea (rejected by its creator) from hundreds of years ago is still accepted as canon without a single piece of evidence? Show me where evolution is irrefutably proven and I will renounce all of my “knowledge.” but after years of studying for my degrees I simply cannot accept the current model of evolution.
As far as casting a white man for an ambiguous role- why wouldn’t they? I have always enjoyed theatre and in order to ‘relate’ to any given scenario there must be some kind of correlation between me and what I’m seeing. More people in the U.S. are white than any other color. And besides who knows what Adam was- by simple deduction- if he was the first person his genetic code contained all of the variation seen in humanity. If he has the ability to spawn all races, what would that make him? chartreuse?
