Creation Moment 5/6/2015 - Atheist Mocking Creation Museum Visit

By the Atheist John Loftus:
"Yesterday I walked through Ken Ham's Creation Museum in Kentucky. Without a doubt he is fitting
the data into the grid of the Bible......I told three separate workers at the museum that I was a skeptic. I asked them why they would ever believe in the ancient writings of pre-scientific people over science. One said because he believes it's God's word, the other said because there is objective evidence for it [*cough*], while the last one said she has faith. *Sheesh* .....What does faith offer us by contrast? Faith is an irrational leap over the probabilities. It's a cognitive bias leading believers to overestimate the confirming evidence and to discount the disconfirming evidence. Faith is a parasite on the mysterious. With faith anything can be believed or denied. Dr. Stephen Law said it well: “Anything based on faith, no matter how ludicrous, can be made to be consistent with the available evidence, given a little patience and ingenuity.” [Believing Bull****: How Not to Get Sucked into an Intellectual Black Hole (p. 75)].In one part of the museum there is a section depicting the evils that result when people reject creationism and embrace evolution instead. Pictures of crime, drugs, sex, unwanted pregnancies, and rock & roll abound, you see. That's what happened in our society. We went to hell in a hand-basket because we accepted evolution."

There is no God.
