The Creation Museum in Kentucky has finally opened after several years of fighting over permits. The museum teaches a 6-day, literal interpretation of the story of genesis and has anamatronics, multi-sensory cinematic productions and all the other things that a $27 million budget gets a museum. Everything that is except for reasonable scientists to currate it and probably also a fossil collection.
Thankfully, because this place is privately owned, it does not count as a governmentally recognised repository for fossils from public lands, but that probably won't stop the owner from purchasing a large collection of fossils that would seem to support his 6-day creation belief.

The creationist museum in Big Valley (aka north of Drum) finally opened last week too I'm told...
A recent poll found that nearly half of American belief God created man rather then him evolving from apes... thus proving again females are the fairier gender, what with their evolving properly, and not needing God to shelter them from selective pressures :P
Hitting my head on the wall too... If the people down here cared about anything other then bloody rugby I'm sure there'd be a big C museum down here to (the New Zealand experience is wearing alittle thin with their overly church like ways and such)
