The Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors
The Darwin exhibition frightening off corporate sponsors

An exhibition celebrating the life of Charles Darwin has failed to find a corporate sponsor because American companies are anxious not to take sides in the heated debate between scientists and fundamentalist Christians over the theory of evolution.
The entire $3 million (£1.7 million) cost of Darwin, which opened at the American Museum of Natural History in New York yesterday, is instead being borne by wealthy individuals and private charitable donations.
[Caution: blogger rant and personal opinion] Yet another example of "Intelligent" designer's handiwork. (This would be sarcasm on my part). I will never understand why the theory of evolution has to be mutally exclusive from religion. If you believe in God, Allah, the Great Turtle, or whatever - who's to say they didn't decide to create the universe by the rules of evolution?
Ok, I'll stop ranting now.... read the full article if you like at the link above.
