Creationists are shut out from the public university system, not because of faulty science, but because they lack the required ideology.

I suppose this is true in the same way that astrologers, alchemists, dowsers and every other dingaling with zero credibility are "shut out from the public university system."

Your side has better access to money.

Debatable. "Your side" has millions of tax-free dollars through ministry. Ken Ham didn't build that wackadoodle park in Kentucky through public grants. The erroneous idea that evolutionary biologists live the high life has always been one of the more fantastic ideas of the creationist mind.

Besides, unless you have the new information to show us, you don't have scientific evidence. All you have is an observation filtered and sorted according to your religious dogma (that really fits better in the creation framework.)

So ... creationism IS nothing more than religious dogma based on nothing? Well, you got that part right anyway.

HHTVL and I were having a respectful discussion on specific scientific topics. I’m sure you resort to ridicule because you don’t have any actual answers. It’s a common tactic. Perhaps you could step your game up and attack some straw men in your next post.

As far as the funding goes, it’s not debatable. The money for the museum is a drop in the ocean compared to the government money spent on research from an evolutionary perspective. How many natural history museums are there in the U.S.? How many of them receive government funding?

“religious dogma based on nothing”
If your theory says something should take millions of years and it takes 36, the scientific deduction is “there might be a problem with our explanation of this.” If you’re really holding on to a religious dogma, the reaction is “this is great evidence for our theory.”
