Totally agree re. freedom of the press, and also ultimately about not censoring the concept of “museum”.

But I am still resistant. I guess this is because I have a fixed and quite romantic notion of what museums are for – which is, ultimately, about fact rather than “just” entertainment. Not that entertainment is bad, but the tag “museum” lends a legitimacy which “theme park” just doesn’t. These are places where “the truth” is explained.

It will be interesting to see what research (if any) is ever done on the Creation Museum – will visitors already be believers? Will they change their views? Will skeptics visit or steer clear? Will people go there to be entertained or to learn? Or both?

I don’t think the situation could *rationally* be any different but it still makes me uncomfortable that some people may leave the Creation Museum really believing that this stuff is fact.
