Creation museum in Britain

I've just found out about a creation museum in Portsmouth, Britain.  I'm so depressed.

I wonder if similar things

I wonder if similar things are going on in other advanced countries?

 

Yeah, it is depressing....

 

I liked this comment by a reader at the bottom of the article though:

 

"The media wrongly describes this as a debate between creationism and evolutionary theory. In fact, the debate is between creationism and the whole of science as we know it. If the universe is less than 10,000 years old, then: all of geology and biology are wrong; the speed of light has been wrongly calculated, so Einsteinian physics is wrong; the distance and speed of other galaxies has been wrongly calculated, meaning that all of astronomy and therefore Newtonian physics are also wrong. For informed people to challenge accepted scientific orthodoxy on the basis of proper evidence is always healthy, but to debunk the whole of science on the back of a story passed down by some Iron Age goat-herders is just self-delusion."
