Hi Martin,

It's sad and embarrassing to witness.  It has nothing to do with science, and is all about the perceived corruption of social morality, reflecting confusion, ignorance and fear.  It's not a question of evidence or argument.  Humans and all life, with few tiny exceptions, is semi-conservative in nature from molecule to thought.

Are you sure it wasn't from the Onion?

>> Hello all,
>> 
>> After recently renovating our own Charles Hayden Planetarium, The Museum of Science, Boston is exploring ways to improve how we market the planetarium experience to our visitors. As part of this effort, we're looking to better understand what the public perceives as a "planetarium experience." Can anyone suggest studies or evaluations that have been conducted around this topic? Any leads on studies, no matter how informal they may have been, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
