I tend to agree with Tracey Rae Winters in her recent note about creationist museums. There are many small museums that do not have professional staff who know about the latest museum techniques. They may not even be familiar with other museums. I tend to disagree somewhat on the subject of creationism. I believe God created the world, but not necessarily in 24 hour days. The evidence points to a much longer time span. On the other hand, I don't think there is enough evidence to prove a random evolutionary creation, as some museum exhibits I've seen seem to suggest. As far as I can tell, we cannot prove any of these models of world origin. Each takes some faith to believe in. So lets stay open minded, and not look down on those who do not hold with our view of the earth's origin. We are bound to learn more by considering each other's evidence than by making fun of it. However, it is easier for me to believe I am the creation of an intelligent and loving creator, rather than the formation of mindless, random process. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Wayne E.
