I'm not sure about continuing the discussion, because I think you're right, we've pretty much covered the topic. But I'll be happy to check out your Time and Eternity thread. Or did I misread that? Is there such a thread, or were you proposing that we discuss that here?
Two more things, though. Just to give you an idea of the prevalence of the kind of ideas embodied in the Creation Museum, here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia article:
In the introduction to a Good Morning America report on the museum shown Friday, May 25, an ABC news poll was cited, indicating that despite educators' criticisms, a majority of the American public would agree with the Creation Museum. In the poll, it was stated that 60% of Americans believe that "God created the world in six days."[49] In a March 2007 Newsweek poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, 48% of respondents agreed with the statement "God created humans pretty much in the present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so."[50]
As you can see, we are not talking about a small number of extremists here.
Also from the Wikipedia article, an excerpt from the oath that all employees of the Museum must sign, affirming that they believe that "no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
Not exactly encouraging an open debate, are they?
