Can dinosaurs save creationist museums?
Excerpts from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_re_us/mastodon_auction;_ylt=Aq.Fk7KQ0rsuCgby1OCdKdOzvtEF " DALLAS - A Texas museum that teaches creationism is counting on the auction of a prehistoric mastodon skull to stave off extinction. " If it sells, well, then we can come another day," Joe Taylor said. "This is very important to our continuing." " Taylor said he's been financially crippled by about $136,000 he's been ordered to pay in a legal dispute over finder's rights to an Allosaurus skeleton unearthed in Colorado. " We've struggled so long here just to keep this thing going," Taylor said. "We're kind of losing interest. You can just tread water for so long." " The Heritage auction will also include other natural history items, including a 26-pound gold nugget found in Mexico that is expected to fetch at least $1 million."

- Yeah, but that's just one of them. We have others to bankrupt.
- I loved this line: "Heritage Auction Galleries says the skull is estimated to be 40,000 years old..." Will they be allowed to say that at the auction, or will they have to make up an age less than 6,000 years old?
- I'm surprised they're going to such lengths. Surely their faith in their God will sustain them....
- The have Jehallah on there side, they will prevale. (LOL@ auctioning a 'fossil' less than 6000 yrs old! Hopefuly dumb athiest scincetist will buy it beliving its million years!! OMG!!!)
- Sort of ironic isn't it? They are saving their silly little "museum" by auctioning off items whose history actually damages their whole "creation" myth. These people make me laugh,but that's really their only redeeming characteristic. AD
- I'll think about it.
- Any business that is in financial trouble can go under, rather a museum, a business, a store, or shopping mall, Can the dinosaurs save this museum, I don't know, Does dinosuares remains exist, Yes, & yes I am a Christain,, & if every christain actually study their bibles, they will see hidden mysteries written in the bible, I have many, many verses I can use to prove there was a prehistoric time frame, But let's see what God told Noah after the flood, He told them to REPLINISH the earth, Not to PLINISH the earth But REPLINISH it or to fill it up again. Gen.9:1 Now let's see what God told Adam & Eve, He also told them not to plinish the earth but to RELINISH the earth or to fill it up again, only this time with smaller animals. That is in Gen. 1:28 Yes I am a veteren Christain, & not a novice, I have been a christain for over 37 yrs, & yes I have done a lot of studying my bible instead of just reading it.
