Creation Museum Opens Exhibit to Promote Natural Selection

(RNS) A Kentucky museum that advocates creationism unveiled an exhibit on Sunday (March 15) that affirms Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection even as they reject his teachings on evolution.

“All we’re doing is helping people to understand that natural selection is not evolution (even though) it’s portrayed that way in public schools,” said Ken Ham, founder of the Christian ministry Answers in Genesis, which operates the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky.

Natural selection was Darwin’s explanation for how organisms gain new traits over time. Ham said the exhibit was added to the museum to show that creationists can believe in natural selection without having to embrace evolution.

Hey, whatever floats your boat.

That’s a slippery slope. If you accept natural selection (which is by definition, evolution) how are you going to show that it stops at whatever level you want it to stop?

If I were a creationist, I’d want to be sure whatever barriers I thought existed to larger-scale evoution, actually existed.
