I don't think you can compare and contrast the worship of ancient Greek/Roman pantheon, it's just not the same kind of religion. All evidence points to the ancients taking a very distanced view of their gods, in fact, as mere super-humans who couldn't know or see or do all, and who were certainly not interested in the everyday lives of hunmans. Which is actually why the mystery cults sprang up worshipping minor or imported deities like Mithras and Demeter and etc -- because the cults promised a more personal relationship with the deity that could be earned by increasing levels of initiation.

Which reminds me: it's likely that early Christianity borrowed more than a little bit from the mystery religions, itself!

Yeah, Ethan, pretty much! IIRC Mithras was err a Persian god, originally, associated with the sun? Or a powerful figure elevated to near-god status in the mythology? Anyway, somehow he got worshipped in the ancient Mediterranean and Roman soldiers carried him to Britain too.

He must warn the openly wicked man that if he persists in his evil courses, the just judgments of God will inevitably overtake him; He must unmask the hypocrite;

He must utter no uncertain protest against the crooked and devious ways of the self-seeker and the time-server."

here we are, the Guardian goes on a field trip to the Creation Museum located somewhere in Kentucky.

So so SO MANY choice quotes in this one, from the guy who used to work at Universal Studios who built animatronic dinosaurs but says that fossil records of earlier hominids are "deformed, diseased or something," just like some of the people he saw in New York, to the Aussie w/ cricketeer photos in his office and who talks about how they couldn't get away with such a thing Down Under, so he came up here, to the bit of software that figured out where Noah stuck all them animals on the Ark.

They also have to be careful about the animatronic Adam & Eve scene, "...since some of our donors are scared to death about nudity."

also, care for a walkthrough of the proposed museum?

Watch out! Dinosaurs keep watch over the entryway. Are they alive?

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 00:28 (seventeen years ago) link

"The museum's planetarium is his pride and joy. Lisle writes the commentary. "Amazing! God has a name for each star,"

None of which are designated in the Bible.

The Bible is true. No doubt about it!

oh, right! i'd been wondering, but thanks for clearing that up so succinctly.

sorry, god.

That Guardian article is mental.

The museum's research scientist, Dr Jason Lisle, has a PhD in astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He realised he was a Christian while he was an undergraduate

He "realised"? Like "OH SHIT! I'm a CHRISTIAN OH NOES NOW WHAT:.

And this is even better:

On top of the shelves is an array of fluffy poodle toys, as well as cuddly dinosaurs. "Poodles are degenerate mutants of dogs. I say that in my lectures and people present them to me as gifts."

Pls to explain why poodles are "degenerate mutants of dogs" k thx.

i dunno, have you ever seen a poodle? yikes!

Poodle weirdness aside:

Poodles are degenerate mutants of dogs.

His not understanding that dogs are specifically selected and bred by humans is.. well, telling or something.

i'm still stuck on the idea of creationists believing that there are still some dinosaurs somewhere. have any of them considered trying to track one down?

Well, we do have crocodiles and tortoises, which haven't evolved for many millions of years. Reptiles that weren't excessively giant did fairly well through whatever killed the dinosaurs (probably cold). But I'm sure they mean something very different when they say that, and yeah, I'm with you, I have no idea what they mean.

Smokey, I can only tell you what I have seen: Groups of smart people routinely make incredibly dumb decisions. If you wander the Dilbert cubicle land of Silicon Valley or Detroit or and to a lesser extent Japan (all of which I have done), you will see this. It is time to leave the fairy tale science we learn when we are young behind.
