A truly disappointing waste of theatrical technology and flair. As with most of the museum, this “show” was well\u00c2\u00a0produced (totally bat\u00c2\u00a0s%&t \u00c2\u00a0crazy) but well done. The Men In White were the angels Michael and Gabriel. By putting a “hip” spin on an old story for the sake of youngsters, teachers and scientists are comically portrayed as villainous and silly.<\/p>\n
The show starts with a young animatronic girl named Wendy sitting at a campfire pondering her existence and the meaning of life. During her moment of lost contemplation and doubt, Michael & Gabriel show up to raise her spirits. The implication is that without a purpose from God, Wendy is lost, alone and miserable. The angels show up to persuade Wendy that God exists and cares for her and they begin to show her “proof” of his existence.\u00c2\u00a0 It is here that the angels begin with, ” …if you use the bible as your starting point Wendy, then everything makes sense!” ANGEL SAYS WHAT?? <\/em>Imagine if your science teacher started your first class with, ” …if you just take everything I say as fact, then everything makes sense!” From the very beginning this presentation insults the human intellect. Science doesn’t require blind faith and it never suggests a “starting” point.\u00c2\u00a0 This is where the “machine gunning<\/em>” of\u00c2\u00a0 “facts” begins.<\/p>\n When you start with the bible everything makes sense like:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Marine fossils found on mountain tops? Those mountains were once covered in water from the great flood.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2.Volcanic dust found in ice cores? Just think of all that volcanic ash in the atmosphere after the flood.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Similarities in DNA found in the cells of every living thing? Since God created DNA he made it so that all living things could live and eat in the same world.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you believe in evolution or as the angels call it “goo to you” then none of this makes sense. According to the angels, “…evolution makes no sense without billions of years!”<\/p>\n -Next we move on to discredit radioisotope dating.\u00c2\u00a0 This form of dating is flawed because there are too many assumptions required to be accurate, say the angels. Zircon crystals have been found with helium gas in them. This suggests that they are not nearly as old as man believes because the helium gas is escaping to quickly to be millions of years old. This is refuted on the following CHRISTIAN<\/em> website http:\/\/www.answersincreation.org\/RATE_critique_he-zr.htm<\/a> . I highly suggest you read this article. It gets all “sciencey” but it is fascinating and alot more accurate than two white overall clad buffoon like angels.<\/p>\n -Next we learn from the angels that the earth can’t be millions let alone billions of years old because of the salt content in the oceans. The angels (portraying high school students in a science class) smuggly\u00c2\u00a0challenge a teacher about the age of the earth due to the lower than they expected salt content in the oceans. This is called EPIC FAIL<\/em>. This moronic notion that if the earth were millions of years old there would be higher concentrations of salt in all of the world’s oceans is wrong. Wrong for several reasons but once again I would direct you to the following CHRISTIAN website to read the refutation of this quackery. http:\/\/www.answersincreation.org\/argument\/G336_creation_science.htm<\/a> This article explains that creationist’s salt theories are misguided and fail to account for several factors involving the mechanisms for the removal of salt from the oceans.<\/p>\n -Next up, the crazy dinosaur theory. Our smug little angels tell their professor that in 2005 a T-Rex leg bone was found with blood cells intact and un-fossilized. This obviously means that the leg bone could not be millions of years old, right? WRONG! Again the answers to the BS claim come from a CHRISTIAN website. http:\/\/www.answersincreation.org\/rebuttal\/magazines\/Creation\/1997\/trexblood.htm<\/a> . In this excerpt there is an email log from the actual paleontologist, Jack Horner, who was chiefly involved in this discovery. He goes on to explain that it is not true and that creationist are grasping at half truths and no facts.<\/p>\n -The angels just can’t quit. Next we find out from these two\u00c2\u00a0brainiacs that the earth’s decaying magnetic field would indicate that life could not have survived millions of years ago. This is again refuted at http:\/\/www.answersincreation.org\/argument\/G811_creation_science.htm<\/a> . The angels are referring to a scientific article written by Thomas Barnes. It has been all but publically laughed at by theoretical scientists and bears no scientific weight.<\/p>\n
