<shakes head sadly>
The "Dinosaurs and Humans" display shows considerable evidence that not only did dinosaurs exist recently, but that humans existed with them. This evidence is fatal to the evolutionary dogma which has dinosaurs extinct at least 60 million years before humans evolved
Hell Yeah , I swear I saw Raquel Welsh running with dinosouars once in a movie, so I guess it must be true.


"Creation Science"...surely an oxymoron (or some kind of moron) for our times.

I would have thought it was very un-British to kick us when you were down.

This just goes to show that the Canadin education system is just as likely to produce functional idiots as any other western nation

Still it amuses me that this is in Alberta ....

Hey, just walk into the museum, sit down and read Richard Dawkins' book 'The God Delusion'. See what happens, worth a laugh if any of you peeps out there in Alberta land live anywhere near the place. Tell us all what happened

Probably about as wise as driving through alabama with "Hilary for president" daubed on your car or whatever it was Clarkson did.

I suspect these are the"eye for an eye" type of christians, not the "turn the other cheek" sort

Much as I loathe the Bush government it's wrong to say that they have mandated the teaching of creationism in schools. I don't think there has been a successful attempt at getting creationism on the curriculum in any state funded school, never mind nationally. In any event, now that we have Harper, we can ill afford to mock the Americans for having to endure Bush.

Didnt a school board in Iowa or somehere and a few other states do it...cant teach religion in school overtly so it was slipped in under the cover of Biology teaching. But you are right, it was not directly Ws fault...this time.

I don't know what you mean by "state funded religious discrimination in schools." If you're referring to state funded Catholic schools, we have those in Alberta too.
