Love those Urban Legends! But here's a true story. The Creation Museum opens soon in Petersburg, Kentucky. Visitors will be treated to splendid exhibits showing, for instance, Noah on his Ark with the dinosaurs, and how the Grand Canyon was created in forty days and nights of heavenly deluge. In the planetarium, the leaders of tomorrow will learn how the light from all the stars in the heavens reaches us in just a few thousand years.

Last month a Lexington, Kentucky newspaper reported that "There also will be an exhibit suggesting that belief in evolution is the root of most of modern society's evils. It shows models of children leaving a church where the minister believes in evolution. Soon the girl is on the phone to Planned Parenthood, while the boy cruises the Internet for pornography sites."

The KY story has joined the pay-only archive. There's another report by the Toledo (OH) Blade at:
