 Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 11:10 am Post subject: Lawrence Krauss: Museum of misinformation posing as science |
 |
|
From the article:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An interesting cultural experiment is taking place in Petersburg
Kentucky, near the Ohio border. The experiment will shed light on the
following question: How much money and glitz does it take to
institutionalize a scientific lie?
Great media fanfare is already beginning to surround the official
opening later this month of the $27 Million Creation Museum, close to
the Cincinnati airport. Designed to oddly resemble natural history
museums throughout the world, this will be a supernatural history
museum, denying most, if not all, of natural history on this planet as
centuries of careful study and experimentation have revealed it.
The reason for this colossal unreason is quite simple: The historical
record in Genesis, as it is interpreted by Ken Ham, who created the
organization Answers in Genesis, must be literally true. Since this is
incompatible with essentially all of modern scientific knowledge,
therefore modern scientific knowledge must be incorrect.

"Scientific" lie?
"Creation science" is a lie, pure and simple. There's nothing
"scientific" about it.

I read it as 'a lie about science'
