Creationism may seem like a joke to most atheists.  After all, how could the universe and everything in it be only 6000 years old, when the light from galaxies 10 billion light years away takes (you guessed it) 10 billion years to get here from there?That was the question I had initially asked when I heard that there are serious people who insist that the Biblical story of creation should be taken literally in all ways.  I was using Man's Reason on which to base my beliefs that the universe is old.  I wasn't going to the "true source" of all knowledge to get the straight dope on Creation.

 

 Creationism is no joke.  Creationists consider it essential to the cause of converting people to evangelical Christianity, and they spend a lot of money promoting creationism, and a great deal of effort to oppose the teaching and understanding of "atheistic evolution."

 

Jessie and Casey Clausen were in Indiana on a vacation, and realized that they were close to the Creation Museum in  Petersburg, Kentucky.  Who would refuse the opportunity to see a $27 million monument to biblical inerrancy?  Jessie and Casey have developed an entertaining presentation based on their experience and will talk about what they learned from the museum as guests on today's show.

 

Atheists Talk is produced by the Minnesota Atheists.  Scott Lohman is the host for today's show.
