Creation “Science” Fair this weekend

By pharyngula on February 9, 2011.

Rats, I have to miss it again. The Twin Cities Creation Science wackos are buggering up science and children's education again this weekend with a Creation Pseudo-Science Fair at the Har-Mar Mall, which will be temporarily renamed the Har-Har-Hardy-Har Mall in their honor. I'll be back in Minneapolis on Saturday, but I've already booked the shuttle home to Morris and really don't feel like it's worth rescheduling just so I can see a deadly dull string of poor exhibits assembled by sad kids who will be slapping on bible verses because the rules say they have to and who will "Pray [their] exhibit will witness to non-Christian visitors".

It's just too depressing. Besides, I hear The Black Swan will be playing in Morris this weekend, and I'd rather go be cheered and uplifted by that uplifting and warm tale of human endeavor. Relatively speaking, that is.

Ah, I'm back home again, and just in time…the snow started falling just as I crossed the Morris city limits. I was at the Minneapolis screening of Flock of Dodos, and they had a big crowd at the Bell Museum auditorium, including many of the usual suspects in the struggle against creationism in our…
