A different sort of museum

The new Creation Museum in Kentucky aims to teach the history of the world by using the Bible as its guide. I have no objections to private groups funding this sort of proselytizing; people can spend their money on whatever they want. So long as Creationism is not taught as science, I am fine with it. But as the old saying goes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts. And I tend to get upset when a belief, no matter how firmly held, gets elevated to fact without evidence to support it. It sort of nullifies the power and notion of faith. Philosophical discussions aside, you gotta love this bit from the article:

John Morris, president of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, an organization that promotes creationism, said the museum will affirm the doubts many people have about science, namely the notion that man evolved from lower forms of life.

"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," he said.

And yet, Eve being birthed from Adam’s rib is totally plausible. Well, OK then.
