creationists are welcome to throw $25 million dollars down the toilet if they wish, as long as they keep their back-asswardness to themselves, and avoid the 'poisoned' fruits of evolutionary science (vaccines, produce and meat found in the grocery store, etc.), usage of the mathematical formula of pi (the Bible 1 Kings 7:23 rounds it to 3, instead of 3.1428), yadda yadda.

Creationists, saying all the answers are in the Bible, put their beliefs on display in $25 million facilityThe recent fossil discovery of a 375-million-year-old fish that could lurch ashore on bony transitional fins--apparently a long-sought missing link between sea creatures and land animals--made a spectacular splash in evolutionary science circles. But it created nary a ripple on the placid American campus of Answers in Genesis, where an enormous museum chronicling the biblical six days of creation is rising fast amid rolling fields.
