OK, OK, I took some flak for being insensitive to some of the creationist folks out there. I apologize. It’s Monday
and maybe I was just a little grumpy. I just wanted to let all the pro-evolutionists out there know that the
Museum of Natural History here in New York City has got an all-new
exhibit on Darwin.
The exhibit provides a comprehensive, historical and scientific look at Darwin and the thoughts he wrought. And it’s
not just piles of dead stuff or old notebooks, either. The exhibition features live Galápagos tortoises, an iguana and
horned frogs from South America. It also features the actual fossil specimens collected by Darwin and the magnifying
glass he used to examine them. Why, the design of this new installation sounds almost, how do I put it,
intelligent.
