It would be nice if we could be non-biased about things like this and
just say "interesting".  Let's provide Science museum "information" not
politics and religion, reminder that there are scientists who are
Christians.

Such things are ambiently depressing, but inevitable given the part 
creationism/ID plays in the current religious assault on culture. We
really 
need to worry when, rather than such things being bootstrapped up by 
fundamentalists, a hitherto mainstream science centre decides it is 
appropriate to give space to this kind of mendacious drivel.
