Biblically Correct Tours

Submitted by jay on 1 November, 2006 - 21:32

On the one hand there is Kirk Johnson who believes that the Bible is "filled with valuable information." Kirk Johnson is a Paleontoligist at a Denver museum. On the other had, there is Bill Jack who openly admits that atrocities have been commited in the name of religion. Bill Jack is a Christian Creationist. The two could not be more diametrically opposed. From The Current's website:

If you go through a natural history museum these days, you might see signs that reflect our more "politically correct" reality. For instance, the word "humankind" often replaces "mankind" on the placards. But in the United States, there's a Christian movement to take museums beyond politically correct to something called "biblically correct".

This morning we wanted to take you on one of those tours, called, in fact, "Biblically Correct Tours", which offers a literal, Biblical interpretation of everything from what fossils tell us about evolution to the disappearance of the dinosaurs. And we followed one of the guides, named Bill Jack, who teaches children that evolution is "bad science" and that questions concerning how we got here can be found in the book of Genesis.

We aired Frank Faulk's documentary called "Be Reasonable".

The one thing that totally makes sense now, having listened to the bleating choruses of students undergoing their indoctrination, is how that indoctrination occurs. One word, something that seems so patently obvious but that I've never experienced having avoided such people as much as possible. That word? Charisma. Listening to those children having so much fun, you can hear him oozing charisma. It's funny, Bill relies on good scripture interpretation, but doesn't question it like he does science. Such a double standard. His real undoing though is claiming that "one is true and one is false." That sentiment is shared by most religions, and I'd speculate underlies just those atrocities to which Mr. Bill Jack alludes. Have a listen here to the mp3 hosted here or to the Real Audio stream here.

You know, I think you and I are more alike than you think ;)

Wow! All Mr. Jack has to do

Wow! All Mr. Jack has to do is invoke the name of god and all other views become irrelevant. His belief in god supersedes anything that science has to say - end of story! It's a damn shame that people like him are shaping young minds like the poor kid that asks Kirk Johnson why the museum is giving them "false facts".
