John Scalzi visits the Creation Museum.
Did you know, for example, that Adam is responsible not only for the fall of man, but also for the creation of venom? It didn’t exist in the Garden of Eden, because, well. Why would it? Weeds? Adam’s fault. Carnivorous animals (and, one assumes, the occasional carnivorous plant)? Adam again. Entropy? You guessed it: Adam. Think about that, won’t you; eat one piece of fruit and suddenly you’re responsible for the inevitable heat death of the universe. God’s kind of mean.
I was away for the weekend, visiting the in-laws, so I haven’t had time for blogging. But there’s lots to enjoy in John’s post, and pictures, too.
I’m probably being too polite in the post title– shooting fish in a barrel would be more sporting than making mock of the Creation Museum. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, where the barrel in question is part of the gun. John’s a funny guy, though, so he makes it work.
