I must say, the evo's on this thread are sure making themselves look like reasonable, open-minded people they claim to be.
Sir, if you know this woman, why not call her and get some quotes about what actually happened and then you could present what really happened, i.e. her side of the story? I cannot ever trust the NYT to do such. They are totally agenda based.
For all to ponder:
It amazes me that on THIS site, a NEW YORK TIMES article is posted, and because it attacks Christians, the evos go crazy with their anti-Christian bigotry.
How can the NYT be considered a legitimate news source with all the fraud that has been uncovered? Should it not be obvious that the NYT hates Christians as much as they hate America.
Do you believe this poor woman was actually mobbed? Did she get assulted or rapped? Was she threatened? Did they call her bad names? What the heck happened? Is this a PUBLIC or PRIVATE museum? Are churches PUBLIC property or PRIVATE property? Did those pesky Christians have as much right as the next person to ask their questions when they visited this museum? I would think that most scientists would relish the opportunity to set these guys straight, but that is just me.
Some of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for automatically assuming the worse of Christians, especially from such a disreputable news organization as the NYT. I know this doesn't include you Right Wing Professor, when I make this allegation.
From what I hear on this thread, the nasty mob threw feces at her, or something just as bad.
I was a docent, very briefly, at a natural history museum. This was my first (and last) day on the job.
I'd just barely started describing the first exhibit (the geologic column) when I got a question of dating fossils. "How can you date a fossil to millions of years back when Carbon-14 dating doesn't work beyond about 50,000 years or so?"
Me: "Radiocarbon dating is not the only technique used; other radioactive isotopes with much longer half-lives--"
Second questioner: "What about evolution violating the 2nd law of thermodynamics?"
Me: "If you'll let me fin--"
Third: "Didn't Professor Darwin recant his theory on his deathbed?"
Fourth: "Wasn't Charles Darwin a Bolshevik?" (I'm pretty sure this was what the guy said.)
First: "What about the Peking Man fraud?"
The tactic is simple: if the docent looks like he or she is answering the first question intelligently, salvo more questions until he or she hits task overload.
How this relates to God's message to man is beyond me, though.
