Has anyone else here seen this AiG site? --
http://www.answersingenesis.org/kids
Check out the videos (http://www.answersingenesis.org/kids/videos) and specifically the Protoceratops "Reporter" video. :bang: It kind of reminds of me of the Hamas's Mickey Mouse, Farfur (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6257594.stm) (granted, promoting hatred and violence is a lot worse than promoting pseudoscience, but what they have in common is that they both inculcate irrational fundamentalist propaganda and nonsense to kids).
As I've said previously, I don't know if AiG actually creates more atheists than converts them. When many of the kids that were taught to swallow this sleazy garbage grow up and learn about real science in university biology, geology and astronomy courses, they won't have much respect for their religious educators.

They go to 'bible colleges' where it is just reinforced.

True, but some of them might want to be doctors, ecologists, biologists, geologists and astronomers. Some might even want to be "creation scientists" with the lofty goal of overthrowing mainstream science. Those who aren't hopelessly mired in cognitive dissonance and compartmentalization will be in for quite a shock.

The saddest part was that poor kid that was asked what evolution is and replied by saying "the theory that things happen just like that". Mind: Poisoned. :mad:
Lying indoctrinators of ignorance, the lot of them.

Oooh boy, the entire "riddle of the dinosaurs" part where it supposedly describes the evidence of dinos and humans living together is not just inaccurate, not just lying by omission, but blatant lies. "Petroglyphs"? Dino fossils that are "actual bone"? Leonardo was not the fossil of a mummified hadrosaur, but an actual mummified hadrosaur?
They're kids, for crying out loud. Aren't those people the least bit ashamed for lying to them in such a despicable way? Have they no decency at all?

That's religion isn't it?
Personally I wonder if it was just like that:

or not like that, like that:
