A Texas museum that teaches creationism is counting on the auction of a prehistoric mastodon skull to stave off extinction.
The Volkswagen-size mastodon skull could fetch upward of $160,000 at auction.
The founder and curator of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, which rejects evolution and claims that man and dinosaurs coexisted, said it will close unless the Volkswagen-sized skull finds a generous bidder…
“We’ve struggled so long here just to keep this thing going,” Taylor said. “We’re kind of losing interest. You can just tread water for so long.”
He believes in Noah and he’s tired of treading water? Har.

I’m not sure if that is just funny or truly apt. Good quip though.
If he would just pray more devoutly, wouldn’t god reply with a wad of cash? Talk about evidence based.
Mastodons never existed. God would not allow one of his/her creatures to die out. All species that ever lived are still alive. This animal was just a peculiar elephant. And, of course, it can’t be more than 10,000 years old.
Now, given that assumed salesmanship on the part of the creationist as well as the obvious low brain power of someone who can believe all of this in contradiction to real hard evidence, I would see if I could talk the price down to about 10 bucks.
Well, I guess the Creation Museum is going to have to change with the times, or risk going under.
Hmmmm…
I bid $1000 bucks. I’m gonna mount that sucker on top of a Hummer and visit every city in North America to advertise the dangers of global cooling.
While it would be good to get that thing out of his hands, It’d be better if the scientific community and the rich just ignored him and let the pseudoscience museum fail.
#6, steelcobra,
I understand where you’re coming from. I must warn you though that it is fraught with danger.
Closing down the Creation Museum would end up giving Comedy Central a near monopoly in the comedy business. Competition is good. Competition in comedy makes for even funnier jokes, as exampled by the Creation Museum itself.
Promote comedy !!! Promote the Creation Museum !!!
We don’t believe in dinosaurs so we’re gonna get rid of the evidence that we have. Sounds just like a creationist all-right.
I hope no one gets this skull for two reasons
1) I don’t want them to have ANY money
2) let them stare at the proof that the Bible is just a book like anything else.
#8 – the answer,
(snark)Mastodons weren’t dinosaurs.(/snark)
Seriously though, the bible is not just a book like any other. It is an instruction manual for genocidal maniacs. Or rather, it is fodder to turn potentially decent humans into genocidal maniacs. There would always be genocidal maniacs. The bible just helps create more of them. Xenophobes-R-Us would be a better title.
The mastodon skull looks lovely, but I’m still waiting to bid on the remains of the Elephant Man when they come up for auction. I’m on a budget and I can’t afford them both.
You won’t have to wait long, Gary… I understand that now Rent-A-Center is after MJ, so he’ll be looking to liquidate some of his trinkets rather sharpish, as my British confederates would have it.
Three-Headed Cat, Jacko used to answer all the calls from Rent-A-Center until he realized they weren’t saying “Rent-A-Sitter.” That was the list he wanted to be on 😉
I doubt we’ll be seeing much of him once those plastic surgeons try to deposit his checks and wind up repo’ing his ‘face.’
3HC, if they ever make a sequel to the movie Repo Man, plastic surgeons repossessing parts from MJ’s face would make an awesome plot line!
It seems that the museum has evolved.
Nonsense. Satan put those funny skulls into the ground to trick the believer into secularism.
