The “educational” requirement alone disqualified it, and apparently Budget didn’t want to be a shill for anti-science morons.

Luckily the poll isn’t the final determination for their picks. Hopefully the people that run the site have some sense and will throw that place out of consideration.

Yes, children, many people believe in fundamentalist Christianity because they think it makes people nicer. Read the comments above and see if you agree or disagree.

It’s no good voting for that.

The good thing is that you don’t have to vote for just one thing every 24 hours, you could vote for every place there. To keep the stupid place from winning, voting for those with at least a couple thousand votes would be helpful–yes, including those with more votes than the Creation “Museum.”

No other entry has more than 20 comments, but the Creation Museum has over 2,000.

The stupid, it burns…

I’ve been voting repeatedly for the Grand Canyon, but it’s pretty far down in the polls. The American Museum of Natural History in New York is a site that has a chance of bumping the Creo Museo, so please vote for that as well as your favorites.

There are many, many more votes for worthwhile sites (e.g., the Field Museum in Chicago, the California Academy of Sciences, to name just two) than there are for Ken Ham’s house of horrors. But the votes for the good sites are divided while the creo votes are concentrated.

So, please, people, as they used to say in Chicago, vote early, vote often.
