oxymoron! creation-science learning center

Here's a Monday morning oxymoron for us:

Lutheran camp plans creation-science learning center

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/259109/

The earth is 6000 years old.
All the world's fossils can be attributed to Noah's flood.
They plan a center to "examin[e] science through a biblical lens."
An aim is "to provide [visitors] with information [to] respectfully
question differing points of view they may encounter, like at school."

According to the article the group has a camp that is "...open to all,
as long as they respect the camp's commitment to prayer and holding
devotions..." Implied, but not stated in so many words, is that they
all have to respect a commitment to ignore science in order to keep
the messy reality of evolution from intruding...

I remember someone saying that the definition of a creationist is that
he's someone who watches "The Flintstone's" on TV and thinks he's
looking at the History Channel. Well said.
