now that the Creation musuem has been open for a little while, skeptics have been no doubt compaining about it, in the media and such.
but myself, as a skeptic, i have taken a very different view about it.
of course, for the people who have been forced to believe in all that fundamentalist junk as children, they feel that the creation museum is a "super-duper" response to all that "godless spitefull dissent" from "godless, biased" scientists and skeptics.
but before you get your panties in a knot over all the nonsense that is in that FARCE, you should realize how the average, sensible christian would react if they ever set foot in a place like that.
Really, if you haven't already, read about all the stuff that is in that place.
I can't help but to imagine that, if anything, the museum would make most sensible people doubt all that B.S. that these people are trying to feed down christians' throats.

I think that Christians should be encouraged to see it. REALLY.
If you have heard and seen about all the stuff in there, wouldn’t you agree that the musuem would really make most moderate Christians more doubtful of it all?

If you really do NOT believe.......YOU should visit it.

I never really cared about the museum, but you have a point. Just because it's not literal creation, it doesn't mean it's against the bible. Maybe when it's all put on display, the men riding dinosaurs, etc, we can see how the creation of the earth might just have taken millions of years, not thousands.
Seriously, no problems with Christians, just those trying to force creationism in public schools.

I think the museum serves as a reminder of what Christians really do when they have $23 million to blow. Help the poor? Nah, make a museum that pushes bad science! I'm sure Jesus would approve.
Seriously though, regardless of your personal religious stance, bad science is bad science. I'm sure the biologists who ARE additionally Christian are just as annoyed over this.

It really is embarrassing how blind people can be. I'm really against that museum, because it legitimize something false behind a facade of science and facts. Teaching kids that is just plain wrong. Although it really can be good in a way that you described. Still, it is mostly embarrassing on the behalf on normal and intelligent human beings.

i see what you're trying to say, and it would be nice if you were right, but i doubt that it will work the way you and i hope. i think the die hards would be thrilled that this "museum" proves their creation story right - after all, seeing is believing, and the regular christians would still believe that noah is just a nice story with an important message about believing in god.
i would love to go and see it, but i think i would laugh so hard they'd kick me out

I don't know what its effects on a moderate Christian would be but as an atheist I'd love to go. Unfortunately 6,000 miles is too far for me to go for some light entertainment.

I've never been inside that muesum but I agree with you 100%. Creationism will collapse in on itself save for a few diehards who will never give up their beliefs.

I'd like to see it, I wonder if I would laugh too much and be kicked out. Actually, I'd probably see parents brainwashing their children & then I'd want to cry.
I doubt that it would make the brainwashed see the absurdity, nothing else has.

that museum is a major embarrassment to humanity - those who support it in any way are a freak in an intellectual wasteland. They are all embarrassments to us all. I am sickened that I am in anyway related DNA-wise to any of them. What a disgrace.

Perhaps you could find a link so that we could have a look at the museum's content.

As a forty year old woman, I have not been forced into believing anything.
Science is not godless and in fact was established as a way to prove there is a God.
Perhaps YOU are the one who needs to get his facts straight.
