Taxidermied Chupacabra Attracts the Attention of a Wacky Creationist


Chupacabra? Creationist Museum Displays Mystery Beast

Really? An authentic "Chupacabra," an enigmatic creature that resides in Mexico and known for killing small livestock, has typically been called a fictional animal; a kindred spirit to the Lochness monster and Big Foot, Chupacabra carcasses have traditionally been revealed through DNA tests to be a native, hairless Mexican dog called Xoloitzcuintli or a mangy coyote. This recently acquired Chupacabra's DNA tests are yet to be revealed. Most importantly, John Adolfi, manager of the "Lost World Museum" in Phoenix, New York who purchased the taxidermied carcass, "wanted to exhibit the beast as an example of the fallibility of science. His Lost World Museum (named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel in which dinosaurs still exist) features items and artifacts that he believes proves that scientists don't have all the answers. A creationist, Adolfi believes that the Earth was created 6,000 to 10,000 years ago by God. He believes that by displaying the chupacabra, he will cast doubt on the credibility of mainstream scientists: If scientists scoff at the chupacabra's existence, could they be wrong about evolution and the age of the Earth?" My response: yeah, believing that the earth is 6,000-10,000 years old negates any type of credibility to his outrageous theory.
