    On a flick through, most of the book preview doesn't seem to be about dinosaurs or science.

    On the book preview I took a quick squint through, almost every page had big pictures of threatening looking dinos. Scientists showed up for the first time on page six and are being dissed as early as page seven (by a man who does not hold a qualification in science).

    Fun fact -- the illustrator's name is "Looney".

    Is something only brainwashing if you consider the conclusions of that with which the person's brain is being washed are considered to be false? Or to phrase better, is it only indoctrination under these conditions?

    In my opinion ( which probably wrong) it is brainwashing regarless if it is true or false information, in this case its is uncertain because of the nature of the creation-science debate , it is impossible to be gnostic in this debate therefore it can not b called "false" information, this guy is notorious for going to schools and things of the like , i saw this one video where he was in an Australian school but I cant find it to post here .



    TL;DR its still brainwashing regardless of if its fact or fiction , he makes songs and stuff to get children's attention on purpose when was the last time Dawkins did that?

    You must not have read my paper "an analysis of porcine homes and the effects of canine exhalation upon them" and my much acclaimed book on baking recipes for building walls

    Oh, jayzus wept, i remember that triceratops with the saddle from some documentary or other. Mr Ham might as well have 'sh*t-thick' tattooed across his forehead. That said, I want a go on one.

    "These scientists take the Bible as truth and then watch amazingly as God shows them how the evidence fits"

    "It gives kids the resources necessary to be able to refute evolutionists claims."

    when you confront evolutionist dogmas with evidences for biblical Creation, and extinction of dinosaurs in Global Flood

    "it's about why evolution simply doesn't hold up to science and the clear teachings of Scripture."

    and my own personal favourite...

    "He also offers his ideas on how dinosaurs entered the ark"


    Reminds me of the great Bill Hicks view on it all:

    "You know, the world's twelve-thousand years old, and dinosaurs existed in that time, you'd think it would've been mentioned in the ****ing bible at some point. "And o, Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth, but the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus with a splinter in his paw. And o, the disciples did run a-shrieking 'What a big ****ing lizard, Lord.' But Jesus was unafraid, and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus' paw, and the big lizard became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a Loch for oh so many years, inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat ****ing families and their fat dollar bills. And O Scotland did praise the Lord. Thank you, Lord."

    Ken Ham cracks me up. He spouts all this creationist clap-trap, yet his alarmingly simian looks make him a walking arguement for evolution. Honestly, he looks like an extra from Planet of the Apes.

    I think he watched too much Dino Riders while drunk and mistakenly took it as a message from God.
