Coremodels wrote joev wrote And to counter your other point, millions of Saudi Arabian women think women aren't equal to men, based on their interpretation of their faith. Does the number of believers make the belief valid?
Fixed that for you.
Regardless, do you think the case is valid? Are there moral or scientific absolutes, or is everything relative? Just because a lot of people believe in creationism doesn't make it right or good.
Here are the implications of believing in young earth creationism (which this museum espouses), and tell me if any of them, beside faith for faith's sake, is good:
If you believe God created the world several thousand years ago, you narrow your perspective. Animals go extinct and ecosystems change because of God. Not man's actions.
The organization that runs the museum (Answers in Genesis) asks its member to avow that the Bible is inerrant. If people look to the Bible as the source of ALL knowledge (not just religious) then many will become intellectually lazy.
The museum distorts natural history and uses pseudoscience to persuade people its core belief is scientifically proven. It has a diorama showing dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden. Now, I like dinosaurs as much as the next person, but when something purporting itself as a museum has a display like this, are many visitors going to be fooled into believe it's true? Kids (and some adults, probably) see something in a museum and they'll believe it's true.
