Internet rock star P.Z. Myers is going to host a Creation Museum Carnival over at his Pharyngula blog.

Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis is opening a new creation museum to spread creationist disinformation in theme-park style!

Ken Ham believes that the earth is only six to ten thousand years old. He believes that the book of Genesis, the Christian creation myth, is literally true. He believes that humans and dinosaurs once lived together on earth. He believes the Grand Canyon was carved out during the biblical flood. In short, if there is a creation myth associated with Christian religion, he believes it.

A short news clip, from Ohio, describing the museum.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this large scale disinformation effort is the target audience. If you want to convince scientists of your claim, you do some research and try to get it published. But what about children? If you wanted to target children with this type of disinformation a high tech theme-park approach seems like it would leave a lasting impression on young minds.

These people are serious about distorting science and spreading their misinformation to children.

I find the whole thing reprehensible.
