Creationist auctioning mastodon skull


Mastodons rule. Well, they used to.

A Texas museum that teaches creationism is counting on the auction of a prehistoric mastodon skull to stave off extinction.

The Volkswagen-size mastodon skull could fetch upward of $160,000 at auction.

The founder and curator of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, which rejects evolution and claims that man and dinosaurs coexisted, said it will close unless the Volkswagen-sized skull finds a generous bidder…

“We’ve struggled so long here just to keep this thing going,” Taylor said. “We’re kind of losing interest. You can just tread water for so long.”

He believes in Noah and he’s tired of treading water? Har.
