Why the Creation Museum is full of nonsense

This is the press release from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology about why the Creation Museum is completely scientifically inaccurate. This is not an opinion, this is empirically verifiable science, objectively true from any point of view that accepts as fact that which can be proven. I thought it might be useful to have a breakdown of some of the ridiculous things that the Creation Museum asserts. It's all very well and good to have a religious point of view for things in your personal life, but those views do not belong in the science classroom, because they do not adhere to scientific standards. Here's another link, about a group of paleontologists visiting the Creation Museum

As Jerry Lipps, professor of geology, paleontology and evolution at University of California, Berkeley says, "It's sort of a monument to scientific illiteracy, isn't it?"
