A museum celebrating ignorance. Shameful and completely contrary to the purpose of a museum.

There's a reason that Catholic schools (well, most of them anyway, I'm sure there's exceptions) teach evolution. God's plan for mankind includes gaining as much knowledge as possible about the universe he created. Ignoring evidence that is right in front of our eyes and furthering that ignorance to our children goes against his will - of that I am sure.

Ignoring evidence that is right in front of our eyes

Such as? I think greater ignorance is believing something just because someone with a Ph.D. told you so.

I think they teach evolution because evolution is covered on mandated state testing. The tests are created by boards who are appointed by the state. All students are required to take these proficiency tests.

It is my understanding that most Catholic schools teach to the test (the thing liberals claim is wrong when it comes to No Child Left Behind) because they are forced to by the states. I think most Catholic teachers also disclaim by stating "this is what we are forced to teach you" or "this is the other point of view", something that the public schools would never do (ie, provide the "other" point of view").
