The head count during the peak period of the demonstration was over 200 participants there supporting science and speaking out against mythology and superstition.

200? NKY.com says sites “several dozen”. When was the peak and how long did it last?

But it seems like as of late, their not taking it beyond personal and trying to enforce it quite hard as fact to a public level, and this museum can't be a any more clearer representation of that. It probably won't be long before there more of these "Creation Museums" and maybe these people won't stop there either, they might also aim to turn normal museum's into creation museums as well, and then they will bend history books in schools to follow the Genesis story instead of the facts historians and scientists have always known...<br /> <br /> But as I said before, I'm glad there's groups out there like Rally for Reason that against this and trying to help people wake up and realise what's going on, try to make these people think instead of believe bronze age lies, and whatnot.

Even though I am a very heavy athiest, I believe if people want to practice religion, it should be at a personal level. But it seems like as of late, their not taking it beyond personal and trying to enforce it quite hard as fact to a public level, and this museum can’t be a any more clearer representation of that. It probably won’t be long before there more of these “Creation Museums” and maybe these people won’t stop there either, they might also aim to turn normal museum’s into creation museums as well, and then they will bend history books in schools to follow the Genesis story instead of the facts historians and scientists have always known…

But as I said before, I’m glad there’s groups out there like Rally for Reason that against this and trying to help people wake up and realise what’s going on, try to make these people think instead of believe bronze age lies, and whatnot.

The religious right is going down and within just a few years. They hitched their wagons to a homocidal US president and that is going to be their demise. mtp623

The head count during the peak period of the demonstration was over 200 participants

At it’s peak…? And a second source stating only a few dozen…NOT 200 protesters…

What did that areial banner say…?

“Thou Shalt Not Lie”…?

Someone should listen to their own advice…

PETERSBURG – A twisting line of people perhaps five blocks long wound inside and outside the Creation Museum on Monday, waiting to see its exhibits 2? hours after the controversial $27 million facility opened.

On the first day, the museum hosted more than 4,000 visitors, spokesman Mark Looy said Monday evening.

Beyond the gates, several dozen protesters staged a “Rally for Reason,” arguing that the museum’s central tenets conflict with scientific dating techniques.

And who in their right mind would post that video as a success..? I counted about 45 people…and Missing in Action were Dave and Ellen…so much for support.

I’ll bet the best part of the event was when Mr. Smalkowski rocked out…
