Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Evangelical churches in Kenya want the country's national museum to take its world-famous collection of hominid bones -- you know, the evidence documenting human evolution -- and put it out of sight in the back room.
That would make more room for artifacts such as the Shroud of Turin, splinters of wood from the real, true cross, satellite photos of Noah's Ark up on Mt. Ararat, and the big green paper mache model of Fred and Dino down at the quarry.
We don't see anything wrong with it, but we know that the Discovery Institute and the ID Network will oppose the move because they want to teach all the evidence.
