When someone first told me of this institution, I honestly thought I was hearing a joke. I kept waiting for the punchline. On learning that it was actually real, I had a good laugh for a while. Silly old creationists, I thought. Then, on the radio last week, I heard a proud father say how he was taking his infant children to the museum so that "they could learn the truth about Man's place in the world", because he was concerned about his kids being taught evolutionary theory in school. Apparently, even the mere idea of his children hearing both sides of the argument was unthinkable. He also seemed to be under the impression that a trip to this museum was a satisfactory substitute for a school-based education. I didn't find that idea quite so funny. How do you people feel?
