If I was a candidate for Senate I would be among the first in line to see the exhibit.

As you may have read (click here) on the mainpage, the Creation "Museum" in Kentucky was using this Memorial Day weekend to open a new exhibit: a semi-complete skeleton of Allosaurus fragilis named Ebenezer.

As you may have also read on the mainpage, the paleontological profession, in particular the vertebrate paleontological profession, is really interested in figuring out how to balance private and public ownership of fossils.

Obviously you want to know more about the interplay between those two, right? Cool. I'm going to talk a lot about Ebenezer....

For any candidate running for office, it isn't about whether or not the story of Noah's Arch fits into their belief system, but, the fact such beliefs are allowed to exist in private institutions in the USA.

If people want others to exhibit tolerance of their rights, they have to respect the rights of Ebenezer to exist, too. I take it no scientist was called into carbon date all this. The Bakers were allowed to exist, too. Right up to the point they were breaking the law in the name of god. And they have paid their dues to society, too.
