Real scientist attacks AiG:
http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2013/10 ... eum-1.htmlKen Ham attacks a statement by real scientist:
http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/blogs ... Ken+Ham%29Phelps stated "the Creation Museum doesn't do scientific research". Ken claims his wrong is wrong and 'irrational' - but in his response he says "Not only does Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum (which is owned by AiG) have a research division, it is a very active research department headed by an experienced and published scientist". Thus Ham's response addresses a somewhat wider topic than that of Phelps' who only mentioned the Creation Museum. I CAN SEE NO MENTION OF 'RESEARCH' ON THE CREATION MUSEUM WEBSITE.
http://creationmuseum.org/http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/ar ... elling.aspThis page gives a biography for the AiG Director of Research - the SAME Andrew Snelling who is already telling the world that the 'Ebenezer' dinosaur must have perished in Noah's Flood. The page talks about 'research' by Dr Snelling whilst at AiG (since 2007). As far as I can make out, he is mainly covering 'old ground' where science already has answers - presumably in order to discredit those answers. "He is currently researching the radioisotope dating of meteorites". Has he actually studied any meteorites first hand? Or merely read the works of people who have done so?
THIS PAGE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT RESEARCH, WHETHER SCIENTIFIC OR OTHERWISE, CARRIED OUT AT OR BY THE CREATION MUSEUM ITSELF.
And an anti-YECism blogger chips in, highlighting among other things the anti-scientific idiocy of Mr Snelling:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ ... story.html"“The Creation Museum has asserted the specimen to be evidence of Noah’s flood without any actual research,” said Dan Phelps, president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society".
That statement appears to be TRUE. They have decided in advance of taking ownership of the fossil that because it is in good condition therefore it was rapidly buried therefore it died in Noah's Flood. That is not science.
