I can say that since I live in US, where we used to have something of a monopoly on hating the environment and crazy right-wingers.

If the story of creation was true it would be a historical event. Science is not about things happening and when, it is about HOW things happen or happened. Creationists and the Bible never provide any detail on how life was created so they have nothing that falls into the category of science to offer, even if the story was true.

I remember in the "1900 House" the husband made out like a bandit, since he had nothing to do around the house, but the wife was particularly miserable with her Victorian role. The only problem with a "Biblical House" series is that the harshest conditions and laws of the times wouldn't be allowed, since they would endanger the safety of the participants.

They can't use any facilities or technologies that aren't mention *literally* in the Bible. Those that are still alive after the lack of sanitation, vaccines, and other amazing advances in the last 2,000+ years can then start a civil rights struggle for equality and acceptance back into modern society. Could make for "good" TV, too, right? *Can* we discriminate against them for a century or two? They can’t use any facilities or technologies that aren’t mention *literally* in the Bible.
