“Smithsonian Institution "Natural History" Museum (Not Exactly)”

2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 26, 2012

I do recommend going to The Smithsonian "Natural History" Museum for the wonderful building, the dinosaur reconstructions, the food (somewhat expensive), and more. However, I am giving the "Natural History" Museum a Poor rating because they continue to state many opinions as if they are fact. They state over and over millions of years as if fact, but the verdict is in that this cannot be truth. For example, they state the T-Rex died out 65 million years ago. This is actually impossible for several reasons. Dr. Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University recently found red blood vessels and osteocytes in a T-Rex femur. This is soft tissue which could not conceivably live a very long period of time. I have just stated a fact of history about Dr. Mary Schweitzers T-Rex. In addition, soft tissue in dinosaurs has also been confirmed now in duck billed dinosaurs. I wish the Smithsonian would do a fact check on their exhibits. They could easily let museum goers know that cave drawings, rock carvings and brass engravings from around 800 AD to 1496 AD respectively have been found of different types of dinosaurs. For example, the Cave Drawing in National Bridges Monument (White River Canyon) of a sauropod, the rock carving of Stegosaurus from around 800 AD in Cambodia, and Bishop Richard Bells tomb in Carlisle Cathedral from 1496 includes brass engravings of dinosaurs long before the discipline paleontology was created. Remember, modern reconstruction of dinosaurs began in the late 1800's long after Bishop Richard Bells tomb was laid. Yes, man and dinosaurs lived together and people from a thousand years ago knew what they looked like without the need for paleontology because they had seen them. The Smithsonian does not even provide this information. They just tell the same old stories about "millions of years" to people with willing ears. Please look all of this information up on Google. Remember, the truth is available if you just search for it. However, at The Smithsonian Institution you will not get this information. They probably will not even tell you the term dinosaur came about in 1841. What term would have been used by men to describe dinosaurs before 1841. Perhaps, behemoth. Read Job 40:15. This is straight forward stuff. My dad was head of the Petroleum Engineering Dept. at The University of Tulsa, so I like geology. Did you know that Dr. Steve Austin got pyroxene crystals from samples of rock from the Mount St Helens new lava dome. This rock was only 11 years old when he collected the samples however the pyroxene gave dates of two million years old and even more from various labs. Obviously, the rock was only 11 years old. We all saw the lava dome form on national television. Rock dating techniques are full of assumptions. You won't read this at The Smithsonian, however. The Smithsonian should have an exhibit on the following evolutionary hoaxes and frauds, as well. Piltdown Man was an Orangutan Jaw bone fused together with completely different Modern Human Skull to make it look like they were from the same fossil. The Orangutan teeth were filed down to make them look human. Piltdown Man was exposed as a fraud. Fact. Nebraska Man drawings in The Illustrated London News in 1922 by Amédée Forestier portraying supposed "Man Missing link" were exposed as fraud when the entire drawings were based on A single pig's tooth. Yes, this is a fact too. This even continues today. What about Archaeoraptor it was supposed to be a half-bird/half-dinosaur it turned out to be a fossil forgery, a composite of many fossils glued together.
The Smithsonian has many artistic renderings of so-called missing links, but it is simply artistic, not scientific. Since dating methods point to a young earth. For example, The magnetic field decay rate, rapid magnetic field reversals, carbon - 14 dating based on this decay rate, amount of salt in the sea(more salt enters the sea each year than leaves it), dinosaur soft tissue, CPT, smooth sedimentary layer uplift without cracking, no bioturbation in catastrophically laid down layers, polystrate fossils, rapid coal seam formation, helium seapage, and much more, all point to a young earth. Well, I suppose The Smithsonian "Natural History" Museum is not History, but just a made up story of millions of years that never happened, and it is time the masses spoke up about it. After all, science should be based on what can be observed and tested.
