Re: [OT] Biomechanical evolution of vertebrate evolution

Ah the Denver Museum tour - I saw this in a comment to a scienceblogs
thread -

"Last night, Nightline did a segment on a science museum in Denver that
allows groups to come in and give a Biblical tour of the museum! A
leader takes groups of children in and tells them how all the evolution
science in the museum is wrong! I was amazed that the museum head let
them do this, I wouldn't. After all, they all could go in, just without
the unathorized tour."

Oddly, the scienceblogs thread was about the creationist film
"Expelled".

"But it sure shows up the EXPELLED people!"

Because in the queue for the Minneapolis showing a uniformed goon
hauled P Z Myers out of the line and
told him he wouldn't be admitted. (He'd been interviewed for the film
and was sure it'd be a travesty.)

However, his family and their guest were waved in.
The guest was Richard Dawkins.

created by someone that can move and maintain it's balance. Similar
to you/me. Created by someone (God) that can walk about and maintain
balance.

In that case, you'll very much enjoy this video clip that ran on ABC
World
News this weekend:

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4502198

It's in regard to a group that calls themselves "Biblically Correct
Tours." They
provide private tours of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to
primarily
Christian home-schooled children.

This video (or something similar that ran on ABC's Nightline earlier)
was the
subject of a great deal of discussion on the vertebrate paleontology
list this
last week, including some of the paleontologists from the DMNS.

This kind of thing doesn't bother me as much as it did many others on
the list.
Religion has always been the first stepping-stone to true science.
