So nice to hear from you. So glad you enjoy 'Lemon Glow' as much as I do. We're well into tulip time here.<BR/><BR/>Re: creationists. I think the "b" or "c" explanations would at least be more intellectually honest than pretending Noah had dinos onboard. I'd almost like to visit this museum for chuckles, but I don't think I want to seem to endorse their nonsensical views.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05768249947493067574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570166.post-33702438148904608952007-04-18T21:08:00.000-05:002007-04-18T21:08:00.000-05:00Renee -<BR/><BR/>Jay P from WFF here.<BR/>I have been enjoying reading your blog.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the Creationists:<BR/>I once read much of Ashley Montagu's _Science & Creationism_ (0195032535) for a course. I recommend it to you. It is surprisingly engaging.<BR/><BR/>It is so very hard for me to even begin to imagine the mindset of the people who are putting together this museum. I am reminded of a part in the S&C book where it says that among the ways in which the 6000-year-crowd addresses the overwhelming implications of the fossil record are a) the great flood churned up the fossils, therefore their layers are not a useful guide to chronology [let's ignore the facts that the sequencing in the layers is consistent around the globe and that it is fairly orderly in an evolutionary sort of way]; b) there never were dinosaurs .... their fossils are a "joke" of God; c) the fossil record was put in the rocks by God as a test for our faith. <BR/><BR/>I just don't start to get it.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the Spring. I am looking forward to the N. "Lemon Glow" that you once recommended to me. I think that I have at least a couple dozen of them. They are special, indeed, and each year they make me think of you!JayPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570166.post-42262385435829901502007-04-15T13:19:00.000-05:002007-04-15T13:19:00.000-05:00Mindboggling, thanks for that ....enlightening post!Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04462041577129730944noreply@blogger.com
