Haven't read it completely yet. Guessing it will be somewhat insulting.

Yep. It's biased from the first paragraph.

Eugenie Scott could be cordial, but is also weaselly, beating around issues and playing the innocent bystander/victim (saw her in a debate).

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Not only is Redfern biased in his reporting, some of his "Creationist" explanations could be downright libel.

At least the article on the BBC website has a link.

This might not be a topic for your moral absolutes list, but it should be.

"Creationist museum challenges evolution (Warning: Probably critical)."

Not critical enough of this moron.

An obviously not so bright yet pompose and intellectualy pretensious Englishwoman named Euginie, accompanied by her sock puppet steve steve descends upon the back-woods denizens of Kentucky and sneaks into their dinosaur shrine with a BBC film crew. This is P.G. Wodhouse, Right?

On your Freeper homepage, Jedi, you write, “Every Christian should be a Creationist.”

Nope, sorry. This Christian is beginning to think this whole debate was dreamed up by H. L. Mencken to discredit the intelligence of the faithful.

And it may be true that Darwin’s concept of evolution will remain a theory, unproven and unprovable, or that another theory will come along that more completely explains the dynamics of life over time, but the approach used to formulate that theory is based on the gathering of empirical evidence, careful reasoning, thought, not literal interpretation of sacred text. If we relied upon the Old Testament as the wellspring of science, there would be no light bulb, no cure for smallpox, no anything.

Faith and reason are not incompatible. The Bible is not a science textbook. Genesis is clearly, obviously allegorical.

At least the arguments are well centered.

“The Creationists argue God created the world in six days and want their beliefs given equal status to evolutionary science. “

It’s not just their beliefs. It’s The Word Of God, which will be standing unchanged when the Rock of Gibralter crumbles into powder.

Who are you going to believe - “scientists”, so called, who adjust (change) their story regularly whenever something new (old) gets dug up, or God, who never lies?

Actually, something as silly as a so-called creationist museum doesn't challenge the science of evolution at all but it sure does make some money off of ignorant head in the sand suckers who would like to think it does.

Deservedly.

The Creationists argue God created the world in six days and want their beliefs given equal status to evolutionary science.,p>I stopped reading right here.

Some people have just way too much time on their hands. And no normal job.

I, like most Christians, believe in the Creation, and also in evolution. No incompatibility in my mind whatsoever, nor the need to "convert" anyone to my way of thinking. I know most Christians easily hold a similar position.

The driving force behind this sort of artificial conflict continues to be, in my opinion, the deviants, the perverts and their supporters.
