Not exactly Aphrodite being born from the sea

Who knew that Adam and Eve didn’t use figleaves but a strategically placed lily pond? Perhaps I haven’t been reading Genesis literally enough.

The picture is of an exhibit at the Museum of Creation.

I guess all that pesky scientific evidence about the skin colour of the earliest members of Homo Sapiens Sapiens got junked as well along with the rest of the Satanic Darwinism…

    Personally, I think the Greeks had the right idea by swallowing Athena, allowing Zeus to give birth to her out of his head. A temporary trumping of the chthonic by the cerebral.

    Apollonian, indeed male, rationality, dealing with the chaos and helter-skelter of the female chthonic. Still, the murky mucus of the fairer sex always gets her revenge. It might not be clever or rational or beautiful, but tis always destructive and triumphant.

    Just check out the screeching harpies sniff, peck, swoop, and devour poor old Ayaan Hirsi Ali!!

    Reading that thread really demands a bath in turpentine.

    Gosh you’re an excitable lad, aren’t you?

    It looks like the model makers got their idea from the commune scene of Easy rider.

    No wonder God ordered them out of Eden.

    Adam and Eve were god-damned hippies.

    That’s life emerging from the primordial soup - I read about this.

    oh wait, wrong paradigm

    I bet there’s an oil deposit under that pool. Indeed, Brother George, the world started with white people in the Mesopotamia, and will end that way.

    Judging by Adam’s beard, the Garden of Eden was equipped with scissors.

    Testing, testing. An earlier post was held up for ‘moderation’, the first time that’s happened to me.

    Was it because I used the word ’s*x’?

    If so, apt. That’s why God held Eve up for moderation.

    Careful attention to grooming is important on a first date.

    She: I found these funny little wiggly things in my hair this morning.

    He: You’ve got a god-damn nest of ‘em over here.

    Yes, EC, I too was thinking caption competition. EVE: IF you don’t get your grubby paws off my ‘do this very minute, I’ll give you a Force Nine nipple tweak.

    Yes, caption competion time!

    EVE: Is that a serpent with an apple in its mouth, or are you just glad to see me?

    ADAM: I think you’d look better with your hair up.

    Eve: “Typical men innit? Snake envy.”

    Adam: “Yes Eve, even in Paradise your bum looks big.”

    Eve: “I think you’ve just helped me invent the headache.”

    Rather, the world started with negroes in Africa, and the end will be sourced from Africa. As the headquarters of AIDS, Islamic manicheasm and Sino-imperialism, perhaps it already has. May we live in interesting times!

    So THIS is the fish that John West rejects. ;)

    Eve: “Let me get this straight. You’re saying that in 2000 years there will be people who still believe that we actually existed and not simple, metaphorical constructs for a creation myth? Get outta here!”

  22. 22 TheodricNo Gravatar

    Unfortunately this picture does not answer one of the most important theological questions: Did Adam and Eve have bellybuttons?

  23. 23 djNo Gravatar

    Eve: Well…if you insist…

    Adam: Let the begatting begin!

  24. 24 NewHereDazzaNo Gravatar

    That crap is hilarious…

    I am now waiting for Dawkins to visit and interview the museum guides for his next documentary.

    I wonder if Eve has shaven armpits….

    We shouldn’t laugh too loudly in Oz though - Hillsong Church and its ilk also spruik the same rubbish.

    Anyone ever see the Ricky Gervais take on the OT Adam and Eve story? Pretty much sums up how stupid it is.

    CAPTION: Little did Pamela Anderson know, but in later years, the silicate that had been extracted from her body in cosmetic surgery operations was put to good use and recycled by the Museum of Creation…

    A few minutes after this picture was taken, the Adam and Eve manequins get bored and decide to take up a more fulfilling existence as Autons.

    I worked in the Garden of Eden and I’m getting a real kick out of these replies. Some of you people think you know what you’re talking about, but you don’t. Don’t make yourself… ah to hell with it.

    Ewww, Ceiling God.

  35. 35 TimTNo Gravatar

    And God created Adam and Eve. And he looked upon his creation and saw that it was plastic.

    “Oh well,” said God. “At least I can hock them off to a museum of creationists and make a bit of moolah.”

  36. 36 The Devil DrinkNo Gravatar

    Really, FarkLucifer? I think you’ll find that there’s no mention of either of us anywhere in Genesis.
    Humans have the Lord God and themselves to blame for their post-Edenian trials, no-one else.

    (06-07) 17:50 PDT Columbus, Ohio (AP) –

    The man who plays Adam in a video aired at a Bible-based creationist museum has led a different life outside the Garden of Eden, flaunting his sexual exploits online and modeling for a clothing line that promotes free love.

    After learning about his activities Thursday, the Creation Museum in Kentucky pulled the 40-second video in which he appears.

    “We are currently investigating the veracity of these serious claims of his participation in projects that don’t align with the biblical standards and moral code upon which the ministry was founded,” Answers for Genesis spokesman Mark Looy said in a written statement.

    The actor, Eric Linden, owns a graphic Web site called Bedroom Acrobat, where he has been pictured, smiling alongside a drag queen, in a T-shirt brandishing the site’s sexually suggestive logo. The Web site, which has a network of members, allows users to post explicit stories and photos.

    He also sells clothing for SFX International, whose initials appear on clothing to spell “SEX” from afar. It promotes “free love,”"pleasure” and “thrillz.”

    Linden, a graphic designer, model and actor who grew up in Columbus, said he is no longer affiliated with the Bedroom Acrobat site, and had handed the domain name off to somebody. Ownership records available through the NetworkSolutions database show Linden registered the site 18 months ago.

    He also said he no longer posts to the site.

    Linden said he is very proud to play Adam. “But just because I’m Adam on the screen, that doesn’t mean I’m Adam off the screen,” he said. “What I do shouldn’t have anything to do with who they think Adam is.”

    The clip he appears in is one of 55 featured on tours of the museum, near Cincinnati in Petersburg, Ky. The museum tells the Bible’s version of Earth’s history — the planet was created in a single week just a few thousand years ago.

    The museum pulled the clip after learning about his online activities from The Associated Press.

    Linden, who now lives in Los Angeles, said his modeling work for the clothing line is just one of the many jobs that make up his career. He said he has great respect for the founders of the Creation Museum and their vision.

    “For the Creation Museum, I did what I did as an actor. It doesn’t necessarily mean I believe in evolution or a believe in creation,” Linden said. “I’m hired to get a point across. On the flip side, if I was hired to play a murderer, that doesn’t mean I’d go out and kill somebody. It’s make-believe.”
