Science, however, is based on fact proven through studies and experiments, whereas religion is often based on blind faith. Science may not be a completely definite thing, but it is, in my opinion, much more definite than religion.

But is it worth the millions of dollars they spent on it? Not more than any other museum.
woa there. I'd say that this claim is a bit ridiculous. What about the museums that hold and display real artifacts from thousands of years ago, clues as to how past civilizations rose, lived and fell, windows into the daily life of past generations, bones of extinct creatures? Historic documents that founded and changed nations? Museums that aim to display and educate about actual, proven history?

The people who set up this creation museum are free to do what they wish with their money and beliefs. No one is being forced to visit it, and no one is being forced to believe what it promotes, just as no one is being forced to believe that dinosaurs once walked the earth just because they see a skeleton displayed in a museum. However, even though this museum does provide an opportunity for people to learn about the beliefs of others, I'd say that a museum that displays pieces of actual proven and significant events in history is more worthy of the money spent on it.

I actually believe that a museum showcasing displays of the different theories of the Earth's origins would be an excellent idea, if one doesn't already exist, but a museum displaying only one idea is more propaganda than education.
