Quote from: "BBC News"Call for creationism exhibit at Giant's Causeway
A Christian group has said it wants the creationist theory reflected at the planned Giant's Causeway Visitors Centre.
The Caleb Foundation said it wanted equal prominence for its religious viewpoint.
Last month, it emerged that the Culture Minister Nelson McCausland had written to museum officials arguing for greater prominence for creationism.
An SDLP MLA said such an exhibition at the Causeway would be "inappropriate".

Next they're going to want an exibit at the Grand Canyon visitors center to also to give equal time to the creationist terory that it was all caused during the flood. If the creationists want a part in the exibit the should be given the option of wearing comlimetary earplugs and sleep masks so they don't have use their own effert to close thier eyes tight, put their fingers in their ears and go "LA LA LA LA LA LA" since that's what they're going to do anyway.

I think if creationists are given "equal time" then so should the Bunyanists as they have the same amount of evidence to support their "theories".

Almost too afraid to ask: What are the chances they have any real influence in this?
