Don't remember the guides name, older about 65 or so, proably retired. Kinda thin male. Boston Museum of Science.

This is the Boston Museum of Science that's located on the Charles River, right?

And approximately when was your last visit when you heard the guides say this sort of stuff? Season of the year and year will be close enough.

Were these paid chartered tours, or the free public tours conducted by the guides who are available daily? Or both?

I sent an email to the museum telling them about this controversy and pointing them to this thread. Here is the reply I received:

Dear (Stone Mountain),

I am writing in response to your question about an on-line forum. The Boston Museum of Science does believe teaching evolution is very important. We are just in the process of opening a new exhibit on the topic. I am a bit confused by the discussion since first, I assure you that our educators are more able to support the Museum's position and second, we do not give tours. I would like to continue this discussion with you, but perhaps you can give me some more information. I have reviewed the on-line discussion and see that near the end the original poster identifies our museum as the one in question. Some of his statements, however, make me wonder if he was correct in this identification.

Sincerely, Mike Alexander Manager of Public Programs
