The Pterosaur Project - Internet hoax or genuine crackpots?

[dreamshark]

Thanks to barondave for posting the link to the remarkable Project Pterosaurr in his LJ. It seems that the good folks at Objective Ministries hope to do the Creation Museum concept one better by establishing a breeding population of pterosaurs, presumably to spit in the eyes of the godless heathen Evolutionists who claim dinosaurs are extinct. But there's more on the Objective Ministries website - SO much more. Youth outreach, prolife t-shirts, an impassioned campaign against the heresy of Triclavianism.... and that's just the beginning. The links go on forever.

Here's your quiz question for the day: is this site real or is it an elaborate deadpan joke? Let me know in comments how your reached your conclusion.

The university and church do not seem to exist.

I think it's a terribly clever joke on someone's part. But I think he went a little over the top with the following bits:

""Johnny" Kimbuso, my African guide from my last expedition ... still suffers trauma from his close encounter with the charging dinosaur."

Special equipment needed: "Frankincense smoker (to disorientate the animals for capture.)"

The AntiTriclavianism campaign is brilliant too.

"The AntiTriclavianism campaign is brilliant too"

When I got to the antiTriClavianism part I said, "Okay, that proves it - this thing is a hoax," based on the foolish assumption that the Triclavian heresy had to be made up. Apparently not. Triclavianism appears to be for real, although it has probably been a few centuries since anybody has mounted a campaign against it.

This not only makes the Objective Ministries thing all the better as a hoax, it strongly suggests that the perpetrators are disaffected seminary students or disgruntled Jesuits.

I think it's for real only the same sense that Discordianism is for real. i.e.: it's intended to be a humorous approach promoting some real values through sillyness. The 'Laughing Jesus' line of goods says it all.
