Still Trying to Fight Science and Call It "Science"

http://www.icr.org/article/7096/

A Creation "Science" group is looking for "scientists". My guess is, no experience, training, or expertise needed.

" In many areas, the superiority of the creation worldview has been clearly demonstrated." Psychosis is a plus, obviously.

"If you have an interest in science, then pursue it. " Or toss it out. Or make it up as you go along. Whatever you like. So long as you start with the dogma, and bend everything you do to prove nothing strays from it. That's what we like to call "science".

Oh! This bit gets way too precious:
"For those who do have an interest in science, we wish to offer a few words of advice. Work hard to get the best possible grades and push yourself to truly understand the material. When choosing a school, choose one with a rigorous academic program and a research program that truly interests you. Although you should not be dishonest about what you believe, it’s probably prudent to not draw attention to your creationist beliefs while you are a student, particularly if you are in a field that directly touches upon the origins controversy (such as paleontology, biology, or geology).
Given the increasing anti-Christian sentiment in society and the academic persecution in the secular universities, there may very well come a day when it will no longer be possible for a Bible-believing Christian to get an advanced degree in the natural sciences. Academically gifted young Christians should therefore “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16) before that door of opportunity closes."

There's nothing like an honest pursuit of knowledge. And this is nothing like it.

In the old days, snake-oil salesmen could hustle you for a few bucks, then move on to the next victim. Now, the con-men and charlatans want a seat at the table, a voice in the national dialogue, and power. We're stupid enough to let them.

I'm updating as I go along. Watch this space.

A real scientist visits the Creation Museum, and interviews a creation "scientist" there:
