Someone on Facebook informed us early this morning that our Creation Museum was mocked last night on NBC TV’s popular Saturday Night Live program. I never watch this broadcast, but we went online and found the segment. On a mock news set, two people in matching Christmas sweaters were interviewed by the mock newscaster about their Hanukkah songs. At one stage, they say the following to the “newsman”:
We came all the way from the Creation Museum—Moses had a dinosaur, did you know that? . . . Did you know that?
Here is the link to the mocking segment, appearing at about 3:25. It’s not really worth watching—the entire skit was not that funny and you have to watch a commercial before you see it, but you can watch it here.
The reason I’m posting this video is to demonstrate that the mocking of anything Christian in the culture is growing. We see increasing attacks by the secularists on Christianity—they have become so bold now that they’ve been successful in removing crosses, Nativity scenes, and Ten Commandments displays, and have been imposing their own atheistic religion on the culture. Recently, they have been increasingly spreading lies in a propaganda campaign of misinformation about our future Ark Encounter project (and had been doing that in regard to the Creation Museum for many years).
Imagine what would happen if the cast of Saturday Night Live mocked Muslims? I wonder if they have ever mocked atheists in the same way they do Christians?
But, I’m reminded of this verse: “Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision” (Psalm 2:1–4).
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
