I've been following the progress of Ham's Creation "Museum" since it's inception. Indeed, ever since he ripped off AiG Australia and came here. I have made many less than complementary comments and refuted, with reliable reference, just about everything in that over-priced monument to religious ignorance. I've done a pretty good job of it, but PZ, I sadly admit, has done a better one. He's put a knot in Kenny's knickers that make my poor efforts pale in the comparison. A Professor's Falsehoods and Poor Research

I do not write this blog item assuming I can reach a certain professor and change his mind (which would take the work of the Lord)—nor do I write it to attack this man, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota (its Morris campus). Rather, I write this piece in the hope that if even one of his students/associates/blog readers reads it, he or she can then at least check out what I am writing/responding to regarding this professor's claims . . . and get the truth for themselves so that they won't be led astray by the rather vicious attacks of a man who (sadly) proudly shakes his fist at God (in a rather vile, often profane way) day after day.
Let's consider just a couple of recent postings from his blog:
Recently, a different evolutionist and philosopher, Michael Ruse, reported that he visited the Creation Museum and wrote some comments on it (at least he apparently did visit—but it seems the Minnesota university professor has not). The Minnesota prof wrote:
Michael Ruse went to Ken Ham's house [i.e., the museum], twirled about among the exhibits showing dinosaurs with saddles, Noah's ark being built to carry off members of every species on earth, exhortations to accept Biblical literalism, and accusations of malice and dishonesty against every sensible biologists . . . .
Now, you would normally think a biologist who is a professor would ensure he did first-class research to get his facts right—but that's not the case when it comes to talking about the Creation Museum. Let's analyze some of the statements:

There follows an amusing load of drivel analyzing PZ's screed and postings in general.
It is rather nice to see Ham hoist by his own petard and hear (figuratively) his squeals of objection. He does write fairly well, though and his speling's pretty good.

And PZ has fired right back:Since Mr Ham is so concerned about my accuracy or lack thereof, and is obviously stressed at the poor publicity I'm giving his little monument to ignorance, I'll make him an offer. I'll give him a whole day of my time if he'll fly me in and give me a personal tour, during which he can point out all the things I've gotten wrong about Creation, and I will dutifully write them down and post a complete report of his various rebuttals. Thorough coverage for the price of a plane ticket. How can he possibly turn down such an offer? |
