The Grand Exhibition of Misunderstanding

Scientists are boldly demonstrating their misunderstanding of the Evolution debate in New York with an extravagant display of their knowledge of Darwin. There are two major problems with this exhibit.

1) IT'S IN NEW YORK
2) IT'S ONLY ABOUT EVOLUTION!!!

As I will say over and over again, it shouldn't take a genius to see that the evolution debate is a symptom of a much broader problem. That problem is actually about communicating the proper understanding of science and that problem occurs in Midwestern states-- particularly states like Kansas. One should rationally conclude that a display regarding the problem (or a series of much smaller, portable exhibits) should be on tour throughout the states in question.

Of course, this may be an impractical request, but it's not. The Field Museum took Sue on a tour through some of the most ignored parts of the US including Hayes, Kansas. . .I don't even go to Hayes, Kansas.
