Toda a gente sabia que a maior parte dos Americanos não leu bem a parte da "ALEGORIA e da METÁFORA" que caracteriza os textos da Bíblia, mais concretamente neste caso no livro Génesis, onde se fala da criação do Homem e do Universo. Depois de uma longa discussão sobre qual das teorias, Evolucionista ou Criacionista iria ser ensinada nas escolas....que sinceramente não sei qual foi o desfecho!, conseguiram ultrapassar-se a eles próprios, qual concurso de "quem consegue ser mais papista que o Papa"Eis que surge a nova meca da parvoíce humana....:
O MUSEU CRIACIONISTA,
quando se pensava que nada mais seria possível, eis que uma série de almas "iluminadas" decide reunir num único lugar toda a capacidade que o ser Humano tem de ser obtuso.
Obtuso no sentido que me custa mesmo a acreditar que alguém com o mínimo de neurónios em funcionamento acredite piamente que, por exemplo, a mulher foi feita de uma costela de Adão e misturada com barro.
mas leve isto à letra,
mesmo à letra até à parte do barro.
Então e pela mesma ordem de ideias, também é valida a teoria Hindu : " o primeiro homem foi Matsiendra. Era um peixe,que ao ver Shiva executando a sua dança, tentou imita-la e o efeito foi transformar-se em Homem".
Ou então, pela mesma ordem de ideias, e como nos América existe uma miscelânea de raças, culturas e religiões, tanto é valido ensinar a criacionista cristã, como a Hindu, como outra qualquer.
Mas isto tudo para dizer que há uns dias li um artigo num blog bastante completo sobre o novo "museu criacionista". Nada melhor do que assistir ao relato de alguém que visitou o dito lugar.

"If you ask the average Christian what The Bible means to them, you're likely to get a wide variety of answers, but in most cases it's probably a somewhat personal thing. They identify with the stories, they regard the teachings of Jesus as guidelines for their lives, they believe He's their salvation, et cetera et cetera. Most would probably tell you that The Bible is a very important book to them - maybe the most important thing they've ever read. They would tell you it guides their daily lives, provides them hope, sculpts their sense of morality, et cetera, et cetera. What the majority of them would hopefully have a very hard time telling you, however, is that The Bible is meant to be interpreted as a literal history book. That every single word of it is a literal truth. Even the most devout Christian will likely tell you that the story of Adam and Eve is merely an allegory
* - and they'd be right. It's a simple way of conveying the general Christian ideas of God's relationship with man, and the nature of sin. I suppose the original authors of the Old Testament may have believed it to be absolutely true, but to put that in context, the prevailing wisdom of the time was that
God kept the sun in a boat full of deities who sailed across the sky every day trying to prevent said sun from being eaten by an
evil serpent.
Thousands of years later, we've discovered that the sun is in fact a giant ball of gasses, and it doesn't sail across the sky, but merely appears to because our planet is (believe it or not)
round, and constantly rotating. We've discovered all of this, and a lot more, very slowly over hundreds of thousands of years through the compounded knowledge of millions of people throughout history pooling their intellectual efforts in a meticulous process known as
science. And
it works. It works so well it has given us automobiles, electricity, space travel, modern medicine, video games,
butt funnels, and the network of computers delivering this website to you right at this moment - all of which were developed in the thousands of years
after The Bible was written by a persecuted ancient people desperate for supernatural intervention. Whether its authors were channeling the word of God or not is a debate for another day - but what we know, for a fact, they were
not doing, is writing the literal history of the Universe. Well, most of us know that for a fact. The people who believe otherwise call themselves
Young Earth Creationists."
