In case you haven't heard Nelson McCausland, the Democratic Unionist Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure in the Northern Ireland Government, who insists that the Bible proves that world is only 6,000 years old, has written officially to the Trustees of the National Museums of Northern Ireland calling for "creationism" to be displayed in the Ulster Museum as an alternative view of the origin of the Universe. There is a press release from the Museums Association rejecting the demand and supporting the position of the Trustees and staff of the Museum on the Museums Association website at: http://www.museumsassociation.org/museums-journal/news/26052010-ulster-museum-creationism Patrick Boylan HOME: 2a Compass Road Scraptoft Lane Leicester LE5 2HF UK Tel.: (+44) (0)-116.220.5496 E-mail: [log in to unmask] Web site: http://www.city.ac.uk/cpm/staff/pboylan.html ====================
