The Ghosts of Galileo and Goldilocks

From CrossCurrents # 258: "For those who read their Bibles literally, Darwin eventually replaced Galileo as the scientific villain, since the theories of natural selection and evolution challenged the Genesis account of a seven-day creation and a human race made from “the dust of the ground.” So we get oddities like the "Creation Museum" showing saddles on dinosaurs (since a seven-day creation requires believing that dinosaurs and humans once co-inhabited the planet)."

It turns out the Creation Museum is sponsoring a live webcast tonight on "The Collapse of Christian America." I feel sure Hubble and evolution will be featured.
