It really is a fun place to visit. I unfortunately didn't go to the robotic dinosaur show because it was the middle of Summer and 115 and I didn't want to stand around outside anymore. I was really creeped out by the religious stuff in the dinosaur, and I think in retaliation, I will build a giant Jesus and sell evolution stuff inside of him.

As a catholic born and raised I have never and will never understand my fellow Christian's blind hatred and fear of science. There's no reason you can't believe in both God and evolution, Pope John Paul 2nd even said as much.

(from beyond the graaaaave!)

ARGH RELIGIONS STOP RUINING STUFF >:

Considering how much I loved dinosaurs as a kid, I think that a place like this would be the perfect spot for a nice weekend trip. I find it difficult to believe though, that children are more interested in other stuff on TV than dinosaurs these days.

I'm surprised at the lack of tie-in with Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Also, how giant of a moron do you have to be to own a DINOSAUR-themed roadside park and fill it with anti-evolution drivvle? Why not just go full retard and put a statue of Jesus riding on of the raptors?
BTW, I'm a Christian too. Raised Southern Baptist even. There's tons of room to reconcile your belief in the Bible with the process of evolution - Kirk Cameron not withstanding.

[puppetgeneral39]

Kirk Cameron's grasp of evolution extends to what Pat Robertson whispers to him at night.

Today has been a good day! Ranks right up there with the time I caught the ring he threw out into the crowd (http://www.i-mockery.com/blabber/2010/01/26/the-pee-wee-herman-show/) during the Pee-wee Herman show early last year!

Is it me or did the T rex also make an appearance in NOVAC in Fallout - New vegas?

[Jaimas]

Today, RoG will be happier than a bird with a french fry. :3

[dextire]

The picture of you imitating the raptor is awesome. :lol
You look so... uh, "special". :)

it was probably inspired by that t-rex, but novac's up in nevada north of searchlight

[That Other Guy]

Pee-wee knows you exist! I would just flip right the eff out if one of my heroes noticed and approved of me!
I wonder where the next eccentric, "build crazy awesome stuff until you die" artist like Claude Bell is... Or what wacktastic junk he's making...

[Potato.]

Umm, how can we forget the finale of the great Fred Savage classic, The Wizard?! He just wanted to see the dinosaurs again. "Caaalifooornia!"

The reason religious types fear science so much is due to fear of it unraveling their religion, and rightly so! If you apply science to any of the "facts" in ANY holy book it becomes apparent that it's all lies. Not just picking on the christians btw... this applies to all religions. Could something happen to your "soul" when you die? Sure! There's no way of disproving that. Is what happens something that's printed in a holy book? Unlikely, and even if it was it would be a concidence seeing as they are all made up. Religion = social engineering in primative times.

So you really need to pick a side, no offense, because if you look at religion scientifically absolutely none of it holds up.

So to answer your question in a shorter fashion, creationists believe as they do because science and religion can NOT co-exist. I mean not unless you are really willing to look the other way.

I'm not trying to stir things up btw, I'm just telling it like it is. You are welcome to believe anything you want, but someones beliefs will never get in the way of the factual universe and how things actually are.

[HowardC]

Now I feel bad for getting off topic....

The dinos themselves are amazing! Structurally they are an engineering marvel considering how they really should'nt be able to hold up. I plan on visiting them someday but I think I'll wait until they are bought out by new owners. ;-)

[Mockery]

HowardC: Heheh, not all of the dinosaurs are able to hold up on their own. Case in point:

But yeah, it's pretty awesome that the super large ones have held up so well over the years. I just hope they last long enough for future generations to enjoy 'em, because they really are a must-see stop on any cross country road trip.

[Nick]

I really hope I get a chance to see them for myself one day.

[Goldenkitten01]

That's just brilliant. And what's with all the evolution stuff? No matter what you believe how is a bloody exhibit about dinosaurs the place to put it?

One thing I was suprised by was that giant snake. Seems like a bad idea. Out west...where there are a bunch of gigantic snakes ready to eat your face as it is...give some old lady a heart attack. Ok, I take it back, that's a great place for a giant snake.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

It's a shame there wasn't a Dromeceiomimus to go with those rexes and raptors.

[Tanuki]

I wonder how many complains they get a year about their creationist crap?
