"Blind faith" G.. Anyways, the insecurity shows when people start getting worried about something that they don't even consider to be a real threat to "real" science, and if something like a creation museum is such a joke, why get all bent out of shape about it?
It is a threat
The majority of people already reject scientific explanations of the world and I am not sure if you understand the tactics behind the "Teach the controversy" campaign
The idea is to misinform the public that there is an ongoing scientific debate over evolution and because the public is not at all familiar with the subject, it will usually accept the view of the side that seems more trustworthy. In a society where anti-intellectualism has always been strong and scientists are viewed as evil lunatics, truth will never win
Even a single museum is enough to fool the public. The plan is to make people think there are alternative views equally supported by the evidence. This is a lie but the average person does not have the intellectual potential to understand it and if you get sufficient media exposure of your ideas, you can make people believe the Earth is 6000 years old. You rarely see scientists on TV while creationism is openly promoted. BTW it will not be a single museum, another three will be opened soon.
The scientific community is infuriated by the very fact the word science is being associated with Ken Ham's "museum". We have no problem with the museum, just don't call it a scientific museum and don't claim it represents a legitimate view about Earth history. Call it "Jesusland", "Biblepark" or whatever else you like, just don't use the word science. That's exactly what those frauds want though - to fool and mislead the ignorant and uninformed masses about what science is
