My favourite quote from this article: 
"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came
from a fish."

It's a very fine line sometimes between museum and theme-park - and
sometimes it's not so fine.  I think this place steps waaay over it!

I know the AAM Museum News did a good article on this issue a while
back, asking various experts about teaching creationism as a science in
museums.  Funnily enough all of the experts, including the theologians,
said they were against the idea.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Creationist Museum?

 

Did anyone else see the article about the multi million dollar
creationist theory museum? Located now ir rural Kentucky.

 

Not sure if the newspaper or the museum staff misidentified the
paleontologists in the diorama as archaeologists!
