PZ Myers, University of Minnesota biology prof and owner of
Pharyngula (one of the biggest science blogs out there) recently raised awareness of an evil plot by
Ken Ham's Creation Museum to team up with Cincinnati Zoo and sell joint tickets to both institutions. As PZ rightly points out, this is a tactic to give the Creation Museum some cred by partnering it with real science. While the Creation Museum might appear at first to be a harmless, kitsch curiosity, its purpose is to
indoctrinate people with harmful creationist beliefs. As Pharygula commenter BobC puts it:
The lying scum Ken Ham mentally abuses children while their brain-dead parents watch approvingly.
Well, as soon as PZ brought this news to the blogosphere's attention, Cincinnati Zoo started recieving complaints by phone and email and has now
cancelled the scheme! And poor old Ham, he's not too happy about it, blaming his defeat on "
intolerant evolutionists":
These people basically worship Darwin — they worship evolution and cannot tolerate anyone who doesn’t agree with them!
Actually,
there might be an element of truth in that first part...
