I am wondering how these kids will be able to compete with the Asians in the coming century when they're being taught pseudoscience skewed to match bronze age myths about the origins of the universe.

Are you correlating the decline of American education with the teaching of creationism?

I wouldn't call it a factor currently, because a 6,000 year old Earth is not taken seriously by the scientific community. But it certainly would not be a step in the right direction.

My point is, given that our public schools are currently NOT teaching creationism and yet the quality of education in America is continuing to decline at such a rapid rate, perhaps you shouldn’t worry too much about the “threat” of creationism finding it’s way into kids minds.

Good grief. Its just one museum that is not sucking up government funding. The shrill overreaction to some great danger we are all now in is nothing short of childish. At least the people who probably run the museum are usually on our side on the most important issues that directly impact our lives.

The liberals get all kinds of public funding for liberal nonsense like PBS and a government mandate to spread known falsehoods on any number of more dangerous issues. I am an evolutionist and a conservative Catholic but I have no fear of the museum at all, its a free country. Stop whining like a bunch of liberals.
