Age Appropriate
Over at the Florida Citizens for Science blog, Brandon Haught has the lowdown on that state's new Creation Museum and Science Resource Center. The museum, according to Haught, is a product of the fertile imagination of Tom DeRosa, a former science teacher in Broward County who found God in 1978.
DeRosa, it seems, used to be the kind of guy who woke up in the morning fuming about the insidious influence of "secular" museums, then he decided to light a candle rather than curse the darkness, and the Creation Museum was born.
Haught's post reports that the museum seems "benign and sciency," and perhaps more important, it's age appropriate for its expected creationist audience, kind of "like a kindergarten classroom."
