New Boise creationist museum seeks to promote 'true science' by disputing evolution

Because...science does not exist.... A group of Idahoans dismayed by science education have opened the Northwest Science Museum offering a Biblical explanation of Earth's origins and disputing other explanations, such as evolution. "We want to show a lot of science that's being censored and not presented to the public," said Doug Bennett, the museum's executive director.

The organizers have big plans. They formed a nonprofit, with one employee and several volunteers. They're starting with a "Vision Center" — is in a small building next to a store that sells Magic the Gathering and other gaming supplies. But their hope is to raise enough money through donations to build a full-scale museum, which will charge admission.

The real stupidity starts at :59 here:

More than half by far believed as these men do, that the Earth was about 6,000 years old, etc.

Well, at least I had them for English and not science (the topic arose when we got to the Victorian Era).
