History Hound Travels

I wanted to share this news clip about a new museum in Kentucky. Scientists are outraged over it, and it’s evidently causing quite a stir.

I think it’s no shock to any of you who’ve read this blog for any length of time that I believe in Creationism. But that doesn’t make me less scientific than other people. In fact, my premise is that neither evolution nor creation can be proven, and that both therefore remain theories. All comments to the contrary are simply rhetoric. I learned in school how to apply the “scientific method” to questions. In order for a hypothesis to be scientifically provable, it must be repeatable and observable. Well, we can’t cause evolution OR creation to happen. We can’t “do it again” in the lab. Therefore, both are theories.

I guess I got off on a little tangent there, didn’t I? Still it’s good to know the mind set I’m coming from as a historian, isn’t it? I believe in creation, because I believe in creation, not because I can prove it. People who believe in evolution are the same, whether or not they will admit it. And the belief you have there, totally affects how you view early history.
