    Post How Bizarre....

    Humanists protest over Creationist zoo
    A secular group is demanding that tourism groups stop promoting a "Creationist" zoo which questions the traditional view of evolution.

    The Noah's Ark Zoo, in Wraxall, near Bristol, is accused by the British Humanist Association (BHA) of misleading tens of thousands of annual visitors and "threatening public understanding".

    The BHA has written to the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA), North Somerset Council, Visit Britain and South West England, asking them to remove Noah's Ark from their material.

    The BHA says the zoo farm, run by husband and wife Anthony and Christina Bush, promotes Creationism - the belief that all life was created by God.

    The charity says the zoo seeks to discredit scientific facts such as radio carbon dating, the fossil record and the speed of light.

    It is odd to try to protect the sane from the religious. We sane people don't really need it in this day and age.

    Why refute the speed of light?

    They will be saying Pi is rational next.

    Re: How Bizarre....

    These days when I read things like that I just laugh and then get back to what I was doing, as it's not worth worrying about. The human race is despite all our protestations to the opposite, inherantly irrational, our every decision impinged upon by emotion and predjudice. More than that the majority of the human population has very little knowledge about the world they live in, other than that required for their basic survival (some of which is probably far more useful than most of the things I've learnt over the years). So worrying about people reading something that you believe is wrong is entirely pointless, as chances are most of what you think is "logical" isn't either.

    The only way we will ever drag the human race up from the level it is at now is if we find some way to raise everyones intelligence up to the point where they can understand the intricacies of modern science and beyond. Something which isn't going to happen anytime soon for the obvious reasons.
    If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
