It's almost cruel, but let's take a quick whack at Canadian anti-Darwinist Denyse O'Leary, whose lack of awareness is at least moderately amusing at the best of times:

Creation museum opens in Alberta, Canada
Recently, I was reflecting on the differences between the way the intelligent design controversy shapes up in Canada and the United States. And lo and behold, a Creation Science Museum just opened in Big Valley, in the western province of Alberta, in June.
Yes, it really does take Denyse only three months to finally clue in to what the rest of us have been chuckling over for quite some time. But let's let Denyse continue to entertain us:
Unlike the Kentucky extravaganza in the United States, the museum developed by Harry Nibourg with exhibits by Vance Nelson of Creation Truth Ministries of Red Deer, Alberta, is housed in a 900 square foot bungalow .
Creation Truth Ministries is a Christian evangelistic organization that wants "to see unbelievers come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ".
And you thought creation "science" had something to do with, you know, science. When will you ever learn?

i caught something on C&L last night that really made my teeth hurt.
I don't watch the View. Day time talk isn't my thing to start with let alone a show who's main demographic aren't males anyway.
But apparently Whoopi Goldberg is taking ODonnel's place there. There was some other chick that was going on about creationism and how she believed it aught to be taught in science class.
Whoopie asked her if she discarded other things that science has discovered over the years. For example, is the earth flat? If her ( not Whoopie, the other chick ) son asks her if the earth is round, what is she going to say.
and this moron said "I don't know. I worry about feeding my kids and such. Whether or not the earth is round has never entered into things for me."
If that's the case then why go on about creationism? All the right wing rhetoric aside, your delusion of a deity flicking on a light switch and suddenly POOF mankind is fully formed 6000 years ago and hung out with dinosaurs has absolutely nothing to do with putting food on the table. Putting food on the table is here and now, not 6000 years ago. So why care about creationism at all?
Later Whoopie pressed her question, what would she tell her son?
"I'd have to go to the liberry[sic]"
So my next question would be, all the books you'd look that shit up in are either going to say A. The world is flat cuz the bible said so. or B. The world looks like a squashed balloon and we know it because we can see it from orbital satellites you fucking moron.
What good would going to the liberry[sic] be if you're not going to believe the books that tell you what you don't want to hear in the first place?
These people make my blood pressure high.
We're heading into a new dark age brought on by these idiots. Mark my words.
Denyse referred to two Canadian landmarks as examples of when we decide to do things "big:" The CN Tower and the Toronto City Hall, one a phallic and the other a vulval symbol. I think she was implying that we're secularly perverted.
She also wanted to include Roy Thompson Hall, but Christian modesty prevented her from bringing up such a thing in a public forum.
The BVCSM is a fucking travesty. I went and blogged about it. Please save yourself a trip if you were considering going, even just to scoff. Go to the Royal Tyrell Museum, it's in the same area and it's absolutely fantastic.
