It's Not Crazy If It's Religious

The New York Times gives the benefit of the doubt to a wacky new Creationist museum in Kentucky:

For the skeptic the wonder is at a strange universe shaped by elaborate arguments, strong convictions and intermittent invocations of scientific principle. For the believer, it seems, this museum provides a kind of relief: Finally the world is being shown as it really is, without the distortions of secularism and natural selection.

No, I think to the skeptic the museum is a fraud. Plain and simple. The antithesis of science and eduation, and what a museum is meant to be. To the believer, it's just a theme park ride / house of wax for Bible stories. The Times should be ashamed of itself for even giving these tin-foil alternate reality nutjobs the time of day.
