Subject: Re: New technology in museums

An ID tour of a National History museum? Interesting. But why stop there?
Why not a scientist giving a tour of the new Answers in Genesis Museum set
to open soon near Cincinnati to explain why we know that Dinosaurs did not
coexist with people? Or maybe a tour by scientists and historians of famous
cathedrals and art museums to explain why many of the images in the
religiously based art are scientifically and historically suspect?
======================

I can't speak much about podcasting (I still burn my downloaded songs to
hard copy cd's for listening pleasure - I'm a veritable Luddite!) but I like
this idea, Matthew! Especially after reading Martin's description of
creationist using the DMNH as his soapbox, why not turn the harsh light of
reality on the creationists' propaganda factories?
