In that case, you'll very much enjoy this video clip that ran on ABC World 
News this weekend:

   http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4502198

It's in regard to a group that calls themselves "Biblically Correct Tours." They 
provide private tours of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to primarily 
Christian home-schooled children.

This video (or something similar that ran on ABC's Nightline earlier) was the 
subject of a great deal of discussion on the vertebrate paleontology list this 
last week, including some of the paleontologists from the DMNS.

This kind of thing doesn't bother me as much as it did many others on the list. 
Religion has always been the first stepping-stone to true science. The 
brightest of the kids on these tours will eventually figure out that they've been 
spoonfed a child-like mythology during these tours. The remainder will simply 
become Bush-league Republicans.
