Presenting ideas that can be proved wrong as truth is not legitimate education.

Well said.

perhaps wrongly phrased on my part. "They could quite legitimately argue that they are educating the visitors as to their beliefs of Creation, whatever non-Christians may think to the contrary" That's quite a clumsy re-write, but my point was not whether Creationism is factual or not, but that they are quite within their rights to put up signage reinforcing their viewpoint in-as-much as they are running a Creationist zoo

personally I don't consider it a disgrace if Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking on my door, simply an annoyance - but if you were already visiting their place of worship then surely you wouldn't need converting, otherwise why would you be there in the first place? That's why they come knocking on peoples' doors.

There are many reasons why I may end up in a Jehovah's Witness Worship Place through out my life!

I think were going to have to agree to disagree, which isnt the first time when ive said this on the forum! I have very strong views and it seems so do you too, so lets just shake hands and leave it. I like being friendly!

EDIT: I agree that it is within their rights, but I also think as a zoo they should teach from a scientific zoo point, or atleast not show a biased viewpoint, which is what the sign "30 reasons why we are not related to apes" is.

Anywho, good points raised the debate. Shakes hands. end...

ah-ha I just saw that sign, that is hilarious.

my "strong views" are not based on any belief in Creationism or even religion in general as I do not care for it. I simply think they are, as you agree, within their rights to display the signs in the context of their facility. That is all. And I like to argue

@devilfish

Creationist here (yeah shoot me)

Yeah, even though I'm opening up an old wound, dinosaurs do NOT go against creationist doctrine

Is this sign still around? When I visited in 2016 I honestly don't recall seeing any Creationist propaganda like this.
