For those who haven’t been following the truly-ridiculous-yet-scary-as-shit endeavors of Ken Ham, this article from Yahoo news is a good place to start. Ham (a 53-year-old Australian living in Kentucky) has been working hard for the past 11 years to build a Creation Museum. The museum’s cost: $25 million. Its ability to provide proof that many Christians in this country are batshit crazy: priceless.

Here’s the money quote:

Among Ham’s beliefs are that the Earth is about 6,000 years old, a figure arrived at by tracing the biblical genealogies, and not 4.5 billion years, as mainstream scientists say; the Grand Canyon was formed not by erosion over millions of years, but by floodwaters in a matter of days or weeks and that dinosaurs and man once coexisted, and dozens of the creaturesincluding Tyrannosaurus Rexwere passengers on the ark built by Noah, who was a real man, not a myth.

Ham hopes the museum will attract 600,000 dunderheadsI mean visitorsits first year.
