This is a good thing. But there is something noteworthy at the end of the story:
The project has not been without opposition. Zoning battles with environmentalists and groups opposed to the museum’s message have delayed construction and the museum’s opening day has been delayed repeatedly. The museum has hired extra security and explosives-sniffing dogs to counter anonymous threats of damage to the building. “We’ve had some opposition,” Looy said.
Secular materialists are too insecure in their beliefs to be able to tolerate even a single institution portraying an alternative viewpoint, I guess.
As for environmentalists, I said before that the idea of a Young Earth does more to support the concept of the earth as a fragile system that can be easily disturbed than does the theory of an Earth that’s hundreds of millions of years old. But inextricably linked with the idea of an Earth that is only about 6,000 years old is the God that created this Earth, and environmentalists who buy into the superstition of man-caused global warming find that a price that is too high to pay.
