“What I find disconcerting is the way so many of you
seem to demean the people who differ from your "scientific" views.”
I agree. I’m surprised that
people who presumably have a background in art, history or anthropology take
this attitude. If this was a Native American or Egyptian creation myth would
you have the same attitude? I’m not a Christian but I’m surprised
by the intolerance and disrespect. Most of us serve the public and that
includes people of all faiths and beliefs.
If I ever have the chance I’ll go
the museum, not because it reflects my beliefs but because I’m a student of
culture. EVERY museum, society and belief system (science included) tells
their story with a slant, it’s just easier to see when it’s not
your own. At least they’re upfront and unapologetic about their
message.
