Finally, our chance to recognize Sporty Spice as the driving talent behind the group’s success. It may also be time to update my VHS copy of Spice World with a fresh copy on DVD.
Look! Our girls are all grown up:

Creation “Museum”
I’ve held back this rant because I know it is kind of divisive. But I just gotta yell. Regarding the Creation “Museum” recently built in Kentucky, I read the following “opinion”
piece in today’s Chattanoogan and it was the final piece of the puzzle and I can’t hold back any more. First, the letter:
It was with great anticipation that my wife and I visited the recently opened Creation Museum near Cincinnati, Oh. We were not disappointed. The Creation Museum provides an exciting glimpse at how our Creator God brought everything into existence. It also offers a walk through human history and how God has interacted with man since the beginning. Hope for the future is the great theme that runs throughout the Museum.
The exhibits are professionally designed and executed and are true to the topic being depicted. Science and history are accurately presented at the Creation Museum.
It was gratifying to see all ages and many different cultures in attendance during our visit. Although there were many folks visiting at the same time we were, we felt secure, and good attitudes were being exhibited by all.
I highly recommend the Creation Museum to the people of our area. Parents and grandparents will be glad they took their young people. They will receive a positive message and learn how they can live with hope for the future.
Science and history are accurately presented?!? Are you f’n kidding me?!? There is no science within the walls of that travesty, and the idea that people take their kids and flat out lie to them about it makes me ill. Taken from a Washington Post article about the museum opening, Lawrence M. Krauss sums things up nicely:
“This may be fascinating, but this is nonsense,” said Lawrence M. Krauss, a theoretical physicist at Case Western Reserve University and a vocal defender of evolutionary science. “It’s fine for people to believe whatever they want. What’s inappropriate is to then essentially lie and say science supports these notions.”
With a nation of people raising their children to believe in the tripe this museum is peddling, is it any wonder that scientific interest in our country is so damn low? Really my issue is the same as that of Mr. Krauss though. Believe in creation if you want, teach it if you must, but for the love of your god, don’t outright lie about evolution whether it be from ignorance or intent. That my friends is propaganda, not education.
An aside, I’d love to actually see this travesty at some point, just to marvel at the cahones of the people that make this crap up. However, I’d never in a billion trillion (or even 6000 *wink*) years give them any of my money.
PS – I was going to tumbl this link, but I decided to have a bit of a vent instead. Hopefully I didn’t step on too many toes.

Am I A Tumblr?
My posts have become scarce since my boss started working me like a dog, so I’m going to give Tumblr a whirl to see if I can post a sentence or two with a little more regularity.
This is an experiment and not intended to replace this blog. That is all.
