Creation Museum seeks to expand, citing large crowds

T'ai Chi does not think spreading lies in the form of religious dogma is harmful or a bad thing.
T'ai Chi has been on a crusade to criticize and ridicule the "organized skeptical movement" for a long time.
Except when it suits him to consider himself a member.
Personally, I am very annoyed by that repeated "if you think so, please contact the proper law enforcement agencies" doo-doo. As if nothing could be criticized only because it is formally not a crime, like a crackpot museum.
And yes, I am aware that mentioning my displeasure is exactly what a certain person derives extreme arousal from.

Meanwhile I am this close to advocating that institutions of learning, such as museums, universities and schools, should be not be allowed to present information that's been proven to be false as fact. It serves absolutely no purpose.
'Expressing your beliefs' and 'advocating your faulty beliefs as facts' are two different things.

Let's be honest...if you could take a tour of it, would you?

Of course I would, to see how nutty the fundies running it were. Same way I'd be glad to take a tour of a Baath party prison and its torture rooms. Doesn't mean I should advocate it.
Not enough, otherwise they would have built it in the Deep North. There should be an article floating around in one of the tubes that mentions it.

Y'all are too pessimistic. I see plenty of signs that there's trouble ahead. They are investing in things like parking and emergency access rather than actual museum content. They have issues with noise abatement, and the county response is to limit what they can do with their outside space.
They had 250,000 visitors paying $20 a head. That's an income of $5 million, not counting the gift shop. 10% spent on facility improvements in the first year.
I don't think it is entirely fair to compare them to a traditional museum, they are more like a church. The newness will wear off and then where will they go?

I don't know, I've never heard that before. It was Queensland though, they're a bit weird up there.

And now I think I will post this so we can all learn something about Ken Ham and the Deep North.
I still can't find this article though, it's starting to annoy me.
Sweet FA, frankly. You could probably count them on the fingers of one foot, and they would probably all live in SE Queensland, in "Joh" territory. Seems to be where the nuts gravitate to...
Close. SE Queensland is the Kentucky of Australia. The nearby Gold Coast is the Miami of Australia. And western Queensland could be Texas.Is Queensland the Arizona of Australia?
