Well, given this new information and watertight reasoning, I must reconsider everything I think I know about the natural world. I mean, if beetles can burn... After reading this, there’s really only one thing of which I’m certain. And that is, that you, lady, are on fire!
If there's one thing a walk through this Christian fringe merchmall teaches us all, brother, is how little we know. Your comment only illuminates another of God's mysteries, and one I hope Ken Ham will soon address: as watertight as this system of knowledge is, somehow all the nuts get through! But with Ham, all things are possible.
Thank the Almighty that you included the Jesus on a Dino imagery, I was waiting with bated breath, and you would have surely lost me without said inclusion. I don't even know where to begin with the Creation Museum. This is local to me, though rarely comes into discussion with visitors to my history center job. This may not be the case with other areas of the library, but it seems most history enthusiasts and genealogy researchers are focused on more grounded tasks. Recently I was a panelist at a preservation conference and was introduced as hailing from the "Birthplace of American Vertebrate Paleontology" (Big Bone Lick State Historic Site/Park.) The moderator then mentioned that "conicidentally, also the home of the Creation Museum." Ahem. Very clever on her part and I was in good company in terms of my views, but still pretty mortifying to acknowledge.
There's so much to unpack here, but my mind goes to marketing, always, with this group. The content of their short films is cheesy but the production value is not cheap. They also have notably expensive facilities and displays. This is the driver behind the interpretive loopholes in their otherwise rigid views. I looked at the "paleontologist" Kurt Wise, there was a series of short videos that I didn't bother to watch, but one was titled "The Days in Genesis are Millions of Years Long." Well, problem solved, huh? Excuse the vernacular, but I just can't with these fools.
That's a really interesting detail about Kurt Wise's other videos--they're using him as an "expert" in the Creation Museum materials, but one of the tenets (shameless talking points?) of the YEC sect is that the six days of creation were "ordinary days." I'm going to check those out.
The standard Creationism perspective generally does incorporate the Genesis story into real Earth time by extending the days and reading Genesis less literally. The Creation Museum is operated by "Answers in Genesis" who do not allow anything but the simplest most childlike reading of the book.
Yes, amazingly the links for those historical photos of Jesus on the T. Rex were included in the back of the Bible somewhere. Otherwise I could not have known whether to believe my own eyes.

Yay, it's Nathan!

I didn't watch it, but if the title is any indication, sounds like a convenient loophole.

Ah, that's why I didn't see them before. I'm a shameless, science-worshipping thruther.
