Creationism museum opens in Alta.

Big Valley? It's not too far away from the Red Deer river right? I know where this place is LOL. I think they have a population of like 100 people. They used to have a bank, but because there wasn't enough people, the bank closed down LOL.

Once, a bunch of my friends and I were wandering their town, and we manage to get into their train museum. Odd thing is, it wasn't locked or anything, so we had no idea it was closed LOL. I think the locals thought we were trying to break into the place.

I don’t have the answers…I don’t agree with him but I listen to what he has to say and make my own decision

But with that ignorant statement he has lost a lot of credibility…he should understand that people believe in evolution there is there belief and there ideology and he should learn to respect it…if someone wants to believe in evolution as a fact that is there right who is he to tell them that they are wrong? Just because it contradicts your beliefs doesn’t mean you have right to not discard it as false

The thing is... evolutionary theory is not an ideology. Sure, I guess it can be and often is used as a flagship for a semi-ideological atheistic humanism or humanistic atheism.

However, in the case of simply believing in evolution, you are calling about 150 years of hard scientific data. Mutually supporting evidence from all aspects of science; geology, microbiology, and astronomy, clearly supports the theory that natural selection, variation and mutation are an historical process which has resulted in the entire natural world.

The guy is flying in the face of all reason.

Or print flyers and put them on windshields and hand them out as people go in

I love that idea. Someone should really do something like this.

I love that Iceland is at the top of the list. Makes me very proud.

But I don't see Canada... how do they include Iceland and not Canada?

Rather than heading to the Creation Museum, take a right at Drumheller, another right at Rosedale, and follow the road to the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne. It's a lot more enlightening, and they serve beer. And Fred can use the business.
