My, my. How terribly intolerant we are becoming. And by "we", of course, I mean "them".
In yesterday's Louisville Courier-Journal James Wilmott, a former science teacher in Goshen, KY who now lives in England, wags his finger at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, and anyone who might choose to go there. It is a travesty, Wilmott suggests, that there are people out there who have the temerity to disagree with him on the issue of human origins, and something's got to be done about it.
Wilmott is one of those terribly concerned public scolds who comes along every now and then to lecture the rest of us on our wayward thoughts and actions--the evolutionists' version of Carrie Nation. If anyone sees a guy in Petersburg, KY swinging an axe trying to break up the dinosaur displays, we'll know who it is.
One of the thing's Wilmott wants is a law forcing home school families to teach the evolutionary theory to their children.
So, let's see if we've got all this straight: we're supposed to be scared of Ken Ham, who runs a museum that people can choose to go to if they want, but completely unconcerned about someone who wants to pass laws mandating what parents have to teach to their own children in their own homes?
I don't even agree with Ken Ham, but I've got enough sense to know which one to fear--and it isn't the guy with the robotic dinosaurs.
