** Mailing List Nasional Indonesia PPI India Forum ** Kaum kreasionis bikin museum Sumber: http://zamanku.blogspot.com Ada-ada saja ide kaum kreasionis. Mereka ternyata tak ada matinya. Gempurannya terhadap kaum evolusionis kini memasuki wahana wisata dan hiburan dalam bentuk sebuah museum. Namanya: Museum of Creation. Berlokasi di Kentucky, AS, tiap penonton dikutip tiket 10 dollar AS (sekira Rp 90,000). Tak mau ada klaim dan pemikiran orang bahwa sudah ada makhluk hidup sebelum Adam dan Hawa diciptakan Tuhan, maka berbagai macam model dinosaurus dalam ukuran yang sebenarnya pun dipajang di museum itu. Model makhluk raksasa yang dirancang mantan karyawan Universal Studios ini lalu dijejer dengan patung sosok manusia, dan diberi keterangan bahwa dinosaurusdiciptakan pada tahun 6,000 Sebelum Masehi - tepat dengan perkiraan tahun dimana Tuhan menciptakan Adam dan Hawa. Padahal menurut para ilmuwan, berdasar hasil penelitian dari temuan fosil, makhluk berjuluk dinosaurus tersebut sudah berkeliaran di Bumi sejak 220 juta tahun lalu, kemudian punah sekira 63 juta tahun lampau. Sebagaimana kita tahu, isi Alkitab sama sekali tak menyebut tentang keberadaan makhluk dinosaurus yang pernah merajalela di Bumi. Bahkan sebelum abad 18 M, tak ada orang tahu bahwa dinosaurus pernah hidup di bumi. Beberapa orang menemukan tulang atau gigi dinosaurus, tetapi tidak mengetahui itu apa. Baru pada 1822, Mary Ann Mantell - isteri dokter Gideon Mantell di Inggris - menemukan fosil tulang belulang, lalu diteliti secara seksama dan disimpulkan bahwa tulang belulang tersebut berasal dari hewan yang pernah hidup jutaan tahun lampau. Pembangunan museum yang digagas oleh Ken Ham dari organisasi 'Answer in Genesis' ini diperkirakan menelan biaya sekira 25 juta dollar AS. Menurut perusahaan riset pemasaran yang dikontrak oleh Museum of Creation, museum tersebut diprediksi akan dijejali sekira 300,000 pengunjung pada tahun pertama beroperasi. Mereka optimistis angka tersebutdapat tercapai, mengingat begitu besarnya minat masyarakat terhadap film Jurassic Park yang pernah dirilis Hollywood. Oh manusia, kalau sudah punya mau, alur kisah kehidupan - bahkan zaman pra-sejarah pun gampang saja dibelokkan sesuai selera yang punya uang dan yang punya kuasa......... Info selebihnya (kapan museum dibuka dan lainnya), silakan baca: ================================== "With its towering dinosaurs and a model of the Grand Canyon, America's newest tourist attraction might look like the ideal destination for fans of the film Jurassic Park. The new multi-million-dollar Museum of Creation, which will open this spring in Kentucky, will, however, be aimed not at film buffs, but at the growing ranks of fundamentalist Christians in the United States. It aims to promote the view that man was created in his present shape by God, as the Bible states, rather than by a Darwinian process of evolution, as scientists insist. The centrepiece of the museum is a series of huge model dinosaurs, built by the former head of design at Universal Studios, which are portrayed as existing alongside man, contrary to received scientific opinion that they lived millions of years apart. Other exhibits include images of Adam and Eve, a model of Noah's Ark and a planetarium demonstrating how God made the Earth in six days. The museum, which has cost a mighty $25 million (£13 million) will be the world's first significant natural history collection devoted to creationist theory. It has been set up by Ken Ham, an Australian evangelist, who runs Answers in Genesis, one of America's most prominent creationist organisations. He said that his aim was to use tourism, and the theme park's striking exhibits, to convert more people to the view that the world and its creatures, including dinosaurs, were created by God 6,000 years ago." And "Market research companies hired by the museum are predicting at least 300,000 visitors in the first year, who will pay $10 (£5.80) each." ---------------- Klik link berikut: http://tinyurl.com/4jlx5 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/02/weden02.xml -- William T Goodall Mail : E-mail Protected Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l Ungkapkan opini Anda di: http://mediacare.blogspot.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
