Journalistic balance at Scientific American

Posted by David Roberts at 4:54 PM on 22 Mar 2005

OMFG. You have to read this note from the editors of Scientific American. It is a thing of beauty.

Awesome!

Great stuff :D

Lest you doubt the power of creationists and their influence: an IMAX film on volcanoes has been rejected by many theaters in the South because it refers to evolution. Theater operators feared the references would offend audience members.

Museum of Creation-- coming this spring!!

Dave linked to this story back in February:


The museum, which has cost a mighty $25 million (£13 million) will be the world's first significant natural history collection devoted to creationist theory. It has been set up by Ken Ham, an Australian evangelist, who runs Answers in Genesis, one of America's most prominent creationist organisations. He said that his aim was to use tourism, and the theme park's striking exhibits, to convert more people to the view that the world and its creatures, including dinosaurs, were created by God 6,000 years ago.

I find this to be hilariously scary.  If I can say that.  Oh, and they're "predicting at least 300,000 visitors in the first year."
