Crowds flocking to hear the truth, Darwinists are "deeply saddened."

Somebody had to say it.

dinosaurs appeared on the same day God created other land animals
Pathetic. Bogus. Sad.

>>Both non-Christians and Christians who are against a literal interpretation of the Bible on life origins planned protests and spoke out against the anti-evolution display, worried that their children would be affected.<<

Good grief, what are they so afraid of? It’s not like a public school where the pro-evolutionists have a captive audience from 8-2:30 180 days a year. If you don’t like it - don’t go! I disagree with the pro-evolutionary stance of the Boston Museum of Science, but I don’t protest it’s existance - I simply don’t go.

Don't the builders of this place contend with all seriousness and a straight face that humans and dinasours walked the earth together?

I think they are pushing a lot of false info and "teaching", if you can even call it that, a lot of people things that just aren't true.

Then don't go the museum. This is still a free country, more or less, and anyone with the money can set up whatever kind of museum they damned well please, with or without your personal approval. Nobody is going to make you go.

Ah yes, but see, you are confident enough of your own beliefs to not be threatened by the mere existence of an opposing world view. Herein lies one of the fundamental differences between Conservatism and Liberalism and Christianity and atheism.

If you don't like what they're doing then don't go. Other than that, if people want to spend their money operating this museum, they may do so and your approval is neither needed nor requested.

the Darwinists know their theory can’t stand up to close examination. They have to use discrimination and PC tactics to obscure the truth.

I didn’t say anything about going. Go. Enjoy. I’m not trying to limit your right to go to the museum.

This is FREEREPUBLIC and I have an opinion, and a long track record of getting along well here and just because you disagree with my opinion on this point doesn’t mean I’m trying to stop you from going to the museum.

Go. Have fun. Really. I hope you like it.

In my opinion, though, it is pretty pathetic. And I get to say that here. I really do. Sorry about that.

Disney land on the Ohio.

While viewing the dinosaur exhibits at the Royall Tyrell Museum, a real museum with real exhibits, a man beside me remarked “It must have been really hard to kill them with only spears”. I couldn’t believe there was such a person.

I went to a similar museum in Eureka Springs last week. It was about as I expected. What little science that was presented was riddled with half truths and inaccuracies.

I suspect an atheist’s-view-of-Biblical-creation museum would be on par with a creationist’s-view-of-evolution museum...

Did I, anywhere in my post even remotely suggest it be shut down and that people shouldn’t go?

“[W]e were going to build a 30,000-square-foot building [somewhere else],” explained Ham in the Cincinnati Enquirer. “[But so many protests went on], the Lord directed us to this piece of property, right on a major freeway at a major interchange.

I realized this weekend that this museum is about 15 minutes from my house. It's right on the way to buy illegal (in Kentucky) Indiana fireworks and the riverboat casinos. Do you suppose that was deliberate? LOL

Nobody is going to make you go.

Of course not. But it doesn't make it any less pathetic that people still believe in a 6,000 year old universe.
