Just how crazy are the nuts behind the Creation Museum (very)

Matt Gunterman June 8th, 2007

I’ve had such a good time today browsing the photos of Kentucky’s world-class Creation Museum from a Flickr slide show. Click here to see it yourself.

Just how crazy are these Creationist nuts? You read this caption and you tell me:

Cain marries his sister, and there’s nothing wrong with that

This is friggin’ hilarious, people. The Creationists ANTICIPATE that same-sex marriage advocates will one day use the argument that, if Cain and Abel could marry their sisters, then what’s wrong with a man marrying a man?

So, what do the Creationists do? They preempt the argument in a rather strange way. If you don’t accept God and the Bible as your “absolute authority,” then you can’t comment on the incestuous relationship.

Growing up, I was always told that God created extra women for Cain and Abel to marry. We were taught in Sunday school that the reason we don’t read about these people is that they weren’t important. Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel, and that little referenced younger brother Seth were important, but not the ones that came after. We were NEVER taught to swallow incest.

Here’s something to consider, though: the last time I checked, the United States doesn’t accept the Bible as its absolute authority.

I think the Supreme Court will likely NOT consult the Bible on this matter and it will not consider God and the Bible as the establishing authorities for marriage. Well, on second thought, it is a Bush court.

    Yeah…I was taught the same thing as you on the occasions it ever came up. The question remains: Can someone take the Bible as “absolute authority,” accept homosexuality as being non-sinful, AND think that Cain spilling is seed inside his sister is still kinda gross? MIND BOGGLE!

    That’s just the tip of the iceburg in CRAZY. I’ll have my full review of the “museum” up tonight hopefully.

    I once caused considerable discomfort in my Southern Baptist Sunday School class when I asked, “What about the dinosaurs?” The teacher didn’t know how to answer, and quickly changed the subject. At home, my dad was teaching me about archeology and how we can find out about the past, etc. I wonder how I would have reacted if they had given me either of the standard explanations - “dinosaur bones are there to test our faith, they didn’t really exist” or “dinosaurs were nice at first, but then turned against the humans”.

    Cain’s wife was the daughter of Lilith and Steve.
