[Taxacom] Alberta, Canada, has a Creation Museum

[Jan Bosselaers]

Robin,

The museum has a web site too: http://www.bvcsm.com/
Looks like an oversized garden shed to me. An amusing curiosity. If I 
were in the neighbourhood, I would sure visit it to have a good laugh.
In Belgium we have something nicer, I think: the Eben-Ezer tower 
(http://www.musee-du-silex.be/) An impressive tower built by one man, 
Robert Garcet, a fomer quarry worker. He filled it wis his own 
collection of fossils. He was not a creationist, but believed in his own 
mixture of paleontology, art and byblical mythicism. He wrote it all 
down in a dozen home-made thick volumes, but never tried to enforce his 
opinion upon others.

Regards,

Jan
