Placing Creationists in cultural war

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.
