A Dangerous Museum

I was amazed to find that the May 18 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education has an article on the Creation Museum, scheduled to open this month. I was pleasantly surprised at the undistorted representations of Ken Ham’s views and those of others interviewed, but the author was obviously not shaken from his own bias. Regardless of the displays, he saw creation or science, not creation and science. The highlight of the article for me was the author’s confession that the museum is so credible as to be dangerous for “young children who are unprepared to critically assess the museum.” It might be equally dangerous for anyone, young or old, who has not yet been programmed to close their minds to different views.
