Just This Once

Okay, so I try to stay out of the whole creationism thing, because arguing with nut jobs is sort of boring and mostly irritating, and I don't really need the hits THAT badly.

But anyway, Pharyngula linked to an article reporting that Dr. Dino's finally got shut down for his rejection for such secularist modern conventions as... building permits.

As the article puts it:

Owners of the park, which shows how dinosaurs may have roamed the Earth just a few thousand years ago, did not obtain a building permit before constructing the building in 2002. They have argued in and out of court that it violates their "deeply held" religious beliefs, and that the church-run facility does not have to obtain permits...

Unfortunately for them, the government disagrees with them. And, it points out, so does the bible:

"Scripture also says 'Render unto Caesar what Caesar demands.' And right now, Caesar demands a building permit," County Commission Chairman Mike Whitehead said.

That's the funniest thing I think I've read this entire week.
