What do you think of the Creation Museum?

It always astounds me the energy, time, and (obviously) money that fundamentalist Christaisn will spend trying to "proove" their mythology to be literally true....

There is something in this (and similar endeavours, like building replica Noah's Arks, etc) of the little kid who sticks his fingers in his ears and hums rerally loudly when someone tries to tell him something he doesn;t want to hear; it's seriously juveline.

But, at the same time, it isn't unaware of the criticism and arguments made against Creationism. And that requires a certain awareness and detachment.

So, at the end of the day, I am left scratching my head.

Well the problem I think is that children may be led to give it credibility because of the elaborate displays and so on... and American children are having enough trouble with the sciences when compared to their peers in other countries.

I heard of an ISKCON musuem of sorts in India that would probably be comparable to it...

When I visited Salt Lake City Utah around the Temple precincts they also have a museum that shows how the lost tribes iof Israel found their way to America...

The Rosicrucians have an Egyptian museum in San Jose, CA.

Roswell N.M. has a UFO "museum".

So I suppose the idea of having a museum like this is not that uncommon... Maybe for the simply curious and as a tourist it might be sort of interesting but just as a curiosity...

How about a museum that presents all the theories? Or how about this: a This-World-Is-An-Illusion Museum? :-D

(I think I spent too much time reading TC's bumper stickers!!!)

Complete and utter nonsense. But what the heck, Madame Tussaud's got her wax museum, and Ripley has them all over the place.

I am, I'm afraid, unshakeably convinced that the U.S. is already beginning to lose its preeminence in the science world because you cannot turn someone who believes that sort of nonsense into a person who can graduate from a real university science program. That won't do anybody any good.
