Sick or Brilliant or Both

The proliferation of Creation Museums is getting out of hand. I came across the website of Creation Expeditions, a Florida based organization that runs tourist expeditions to fossil sites and does the whole thing in the context of Young Earth Creationism! This is just sick! Sick! People are being taught that shark teeth that they find in florida were burried at the same time as edmontosaurus skeletons in South Dakota. These people actually see the strata, know enough that different fossil assemblages occur in different rock units, but still preach that it's all one bed, layed down during Noah's flood. Here's the sickest part of all, they have a wickedly sweet little museum with fossils and a lab that I'd kill* a creationist to have. Not only do they have a perfectly preserved Edmontosaurus, skin and all, but they have one of the most complete Allosaur skulls in the world. In the world people! These things aren't exactly laying around for just any jackass to pickup! My only hope is that this is a ruse, a ploy by legitimate paleontologists to rake in the bucks by exploiting religious fundamentalism. If that's the case, then they are most certainly a group of twisted and deranged, but brilliant people. If not, then leave out the brilliant part.
