Can I offer comfort? You are probably right, but then again, if someone is coming for the purpose of mocking, odds are they aren’t going to be impressed with anything they see anyway, nor even open to the possibility. I think those with open minds are going to be challenged to dig deeper, either to disprove the creationists or even to strengthen their own belief system. I don’t see why this is bad. Your comment about “monument to ego and foolishness” is a perfect example of what I am saying. You’ve made up your mind a priori, and I doubt there is anything you would encounter that you would allow to upset the paradigm you are comfortable with. No crime there. It’s the way we all operate. I think one should allow that this exhibit is intended to educate AND entertain. They hysterics about it are far more entertaining to me.
