Interesting.

[Grizzled Bear]

In before the insults.

[mgstarr]

PT Barnum would be proud.

[P8riot]

Darn, too late.

[Gondring]

I look forward to going sometime, although it will bring back painful memories of first examining claims of Creation “Scientists” and realizing that they were lying—or at least self-delusional. Up to that point, I had trusted their claims as having merit...wanting to believe that Christians could be trusted to avoid “bearing false witness.” :-(

They should call it an anti-museum. It certainly is the antithesis of scientific methods and learning.

[Non-Sequitur]

Officials at Answers in Genesis, the apologetics ministry that opened the museum in May, anticipated 250,000 visitors the first year.

The Darwin exhbit at the Field Museum in Chicago should top that by the time it closes at the end of the year.

[editor-surveyor]

You were right...

[I'm ALL Right!]

by the skin of your teeth!

I hope you do go, and I’d love to hear your impressions posted here if you do.

Here’s a couple of well-deserved insults for the museum’s fans:

“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people.” (H.L.Mencken, of course)

“The museum that’s been honored by the same segment of society that voted ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ the Best Film of 1977.” (BuckeyeForever)

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

“bearing false witness.”

Bearing false witness - would that be the part about life evolving by random chance, against all chemical laws known to man; or would it be the part about evolution actually being science, instead of a philosophical viewpoint used to explain observations post priori?

[Grizzled Bear]

That’s why I now read the articles and skip the comments completely. It’s sad to see so many FReepers behave in such a rude and juvenile manner against one another.

[Gondring]

Nope.

[Blogger]

Good job. Of course, some ignorant bigots choose to be insulting in spite of the fact that they have never even been in the museum.

[nmh]

People are thirsty for truth.

The MAJORITY don’t believe in evolution. As usual it’s a pompous minority that try to ram this nonsense down others throat. No evidence to prove it so they try to SILENCE the opposition through insults and vilification.
