Coming Soon . . .

OK, this post is the equivalent of the 30-second teaser they run for a movie that's still a year away from release. I have been intending to write several new blogs this week but for once I am actually quite busy at work and haven't had time to devote the attention I want to it. But I was sick to death of seeing my sophomoric text message spelling as a header and also didn't feel the need to pad the comment counter in the last post any further. In any case, coming soon to this space within the next week:

  • My long-promised (but now largely irrelevant and completely usurped) take on the Palin selection.
  • My thoughts on John McCain's speech tonight
  • Thoughts on completing the marathon that is War and Peace (150 pages to go as of right now; might even finish tonight if I feel motivated)
  • A recap of my road trip weekend which begins tomorrow and will include stops in Champaign to relive my college days Friday night and see the Illinois/Eastern Illinois game Saturday, two Cubs games in Cincinnati, a stop at the $23 million Creationism museum, and a mad dash back to Chicago to make the opening kickoff of the Bears game on Sunday night.

We now join our regularly scheduled political back-biting already in progress . . .

Do they allow photography at the creation museum?

And how can they spend that much money if they're only going back, like, 6000 years?

Oh, yeah. And democrats are smelly. How's that for backbiting?

:-)

I'm not sure, but I have this wonderful vision of me and Mooney doing shots in front of the ark, probably to be followed by our swift removal from the premises.

Please, oh please, video tape the entire visit for us. I'd just love to see you asking questions like "how'd they fit all those animals on one boat"
and
"weren't there concerns of genetic mutations due to the obvious inbreeding brought on by saving only one pair of animals?"
Oh, and there's always the question "if God created everything, who created God?"

Can I come too?

I always like to ask the crazy religious why there are two different versions of creation in the first 20 pages of their book.

And then another version later.

Also ask if the whole town has to get together to stone your brother for planting different crops side by side.

Here is the link for the interested.

Also, in the header on their website it says: Creation Museum - Creation, Evolution, Science, Dinosaurs, Family, Christian Worldview

Um, Dinosaurs?

Yeah, what? Check out their "About" page. Apparently now dinosaurs were wandering around in the Garden of Eden?? I just don't understand how you can go about rewriting parts of the bible this drastically sometimes and then get all in a dither about other things, like the gay thing. I'm sorry, I try to be forgiving, but I just can't respect that kind of deliberate hypocrisy from a person or subset of society.

(eep, may have let my strong views run a little away from me there. Sorry.)

Its ok Becks, we spent two weeks attacking each other (or at least Mike & I) and now we'll spend a few days attacking religious people.

john said...

Becky, stop trying to understand the hardcore religious. You'll just give yourself a migraine.

And I'd just like to point out that I will not be paying any of my hard earned (or any other kind of) money towards this. I received 2 free guest passes from my cousin (who, yes, is uber-devout, really does believe all this stuff, and really believes that it is "scientific").

Also, it will likely only be an extremely abbreviated run through the place. It doesn't open till noon on Sunday and the Cubs game starts at 1:10 and I still have my priorities in the right place.

Screw the garden Becks, you know what the preferred mode of transportation was at around 30 AD?

Thats right, dinosaurs.

One of my favorite pictures ever.
