One Ken Ham thinks that Darwinian evolution is just brainwashing
- a part of the cultural wars. His answer to Darwin is a crackpot " Creation
Museum " - a 14 million dollar project in northern Kentucky ( a Los Angeles
Times story, Dec. 12 )
Oddly enough one could place Ham - nice Biblical name - in
the category of academics described in a new book out titled " Bonfire
of the humanities ", written by a frustrated old fashioned classics professor.
Like the politically correct crowd, Ken Ham rejects that ancient
Greek concept of objective knowledge . He rejects the scientic method
period. Apart from the scientific method - with all its checks and balances
and scholarly debate WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK of science - how can we learn
ANYTHING about the real world ?
There remains only the Holy Books and a priestly caste to
interpret them. A sort of American Taliban !
It seems that Evolution continues to make monkeys out of its
incorrigible opponents. The Creationists don't want to debate with
scientists. They want to darken your minds. Visit Disney-land instead of
this Creation Museum.
