Yes, however, don't fall for moral relativism when one side is right and the other is wrong.
Let the museum continue to operate
Has anybody proposed shutting it down? Of course it will continue to operate in a free country where even charlatans and idiots are afforded first amendment protections.
and if the truth eventually wins out, I'm sure the musuem will lose visitors and eventually shut down for lack of patronage.
The truth won't win out unless we make the truth win out. Ignorance is a tough foe.
If only it were that simple. Unfortunately, that museum exists to indoctrinate, and there’s enough ignorance and superstition around to keep it going for quite a long time, I’m afraid.
I can’t help but notice in these debates that the creationists always have a handful of talking points. They’ve been given questions to ask the rest of us about evolution, but rarely does anyone have the heart to ask a creationist to back up the “science” of biblical creationism. Is it because we don’t want to hurt their feelings, or because every creationist argument reduces to “the Bible tells me so”? In either case, treating creationists with kid gloves is dangerous. They’re mobilized, and dedicated to spreading ignorance and lies. They’re not quaint and harmless.
I give it a few years. Heritage USA lasted a few years. It depends on whether they add a roller coaster.
