There’s been a lot of hubbub lately over the erection of a creationism museum.
I don’t know why people are so hot and bothered about it. If you ask me, this is a brilliant idea.
Moldering away in some museum is exactly where creationism belongs. In fact, I think every natural history museum ought to have a small exhibit on creationism, for a refreshing contrast to reality.
If museums have the resources to set up their own zoos, why not have a few creationists behind glass as well? Keep them safe from what must be a fairly frightening world of facts and research, and preserve them for future generations who would like to know how far we’ve progressed.
And the humor factor? The fact that there are still creationists is an under-appreciated source of amusement.
Creationism finally admitting its obsolescence and retiring to a museum? Where do I send the check?

The more I think about this, the more I think the creation museum doesn't go far enough. Creationists belong in a museum; let them all go there and bother us no more.
