The fight against superstitious nonsense in the Ulster Museum? Already lost.

I was in the very museum during lunch break, having a look at the Ice Age period. Neanderthal skull, engraved bone tools, mammoth molars... Marvellous stuff!

Then a school class came in 3 dozen 6-7 year olds with their teacher, she leading them straight to the fossils of ammonites and such. After a short introduction, she then explained:
"People say that this isn't possible with Christian Science, but they are wrong! These fossils can have been made during the Flood, with Noah's Ark!"

I felt despair and left the museum.
