A Museum of Mutilated Anthropogeny that is. “For the skeptic the wonder is at a strange universe shaped by elaborate arguments, strong convictions and intermittent invocations of scientific principle. For the believer, it seems, this museum provides a kind of relief: Finally the world is being shown as it really is, without the distortions of secularism and natural selection.”

when things built with the idea of good vs. bad, i start to worry...

Prepare to believe
i'd like to curate a 'Culture in Crisis V.2' exhibition on the premises and take it to step further... like while hubby watching the ballgame, wife is....
and, it all comes to this money shot at the final window when all the Creation Museum personnel are engaged in...
Orhan, perhaps we could also have a room looking out to a (gay) man being dragged by a jeep over a dirt road, another with a man parking a ryder truck next to a federal building and a third old fashioned lynching led by a southern preacher - you know, stuff that people have done in the name of god and the bible.
crowbert ..... you forgot about flying airplanes loaded with people into buildings loaded with more people .... all in the name of their god. there are wackos in every walk of life, but what do they that have to do with a museum promoting creation?
clearification;
i fully intend 'Culture in Crisis V.2' to be a happy show. a win win situation where a 'man' like jerry falwell 'decides' what the truth is. and, ladies and gentile man, here is another detail; i also mean, 'their' god and creation story represented in 'their' adam and eve (they call it 'adem and havva', same people y'knw) shown in dubai made lingerie, towards the exit and near the gift shop where the same provacative teddies are sold in discrete packaging. unisex, of course...
this is a show for all the adams and eves and their creations folks.
i am open to further ideas.
-curator wanna be.
hey, don't forget about zeuse and poseidon, and all those guys, and while we're at it, mithras!
ha ha ha, wow. i must see this for myself.
Tenn - Just commenting, specifically to christianity, on what can happen when you choose to believe the truth as transcribed from oral history as opposed to learning the truth from the world around you.
Orhan - I would love to see a display stand featuring the gleaming visage of Falwell, arms outstreched and full of lingere. Although I'm not sure how you can make provacative unisex underwear though.
I am wearing provocative unisex underwear right now, crowbert.
Orhan, get your camera. Geoff just volunteered for a cameo in your 'Culture in Crisis V.2'. Just in time for Postopolis!
I'll suggest Hieronymous Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights as inspiration, and that episode of Star Trek (The Return of the Archons) where Landru imposed the Red Hour on the lecherous masses.
i think javier is going to photograph him.. it is a 'clon' thing...
i only wish henry miller was alive these days to talk about apples and oranges..;.)
We are made of particles that are billion times smaller then we would ever imagine, the universe is billion times bigger than people used to imagine, these are facts. I am sure even these creationism advocates know that, they wouldn't deny that Proxima Centauri is 9 460 800 000 000 kms away, they wouldn't claim that it's just suspended 10 kms away on celestial dome. Neither they would claim that those particles we are made of are just some kind of scientific cover-up... It is only logical that that universe is billions of years old...
