"Religious tourists visiting the Creation Museum in Boone County and Ark Encounter in neighboring Grant County are a contributing factor for hotels opening in Florence, Kentucky."
America's idiot science deniers are good for business in Kentucky where a religious organization that claims the Earth is 6,000 years old has a museum about magical creationism.
I'm not making this up. 6,000 years old. The Earth. Every species on this planet. All magically created out of nothing 6,000 years ago.
From Wikipedia:
The Creation Museum, located in Petersburg, Kentucky, United States, is operated by the Christian creation apologetics organization Answers in Genesis (AiG). It promotes a pseudoscientific, young Earth creationist (YEC) explanation of the origin of the Universe based on a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative in the Bible.
Reflecting young Earth creationist beliefs, the museum depicts the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs, portrays the Earth as approximately 6,000 years old, and disputes the theory of evolution.
According to this nutjob museum human apes lived with Tyrannosaurus, aka T. rex, which could eat a human head with one bite.
There are so many Americans believing this bullshit there are hotels being built in Florence Kentucky to accommodate them. They bring their children so they can learn how to be stupid.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
