Don't like history? Just stuff it in the back room...

You can believe that mankind descended from aliens, like the Scientologists do, or that God literally did create Adam and Eve. You can also believe that the world is only 6000 years old. That's fine. But, that doesn't mean you get to expect that fossil evidence of man's origins be relegated to shelves in the back room of a museum just because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

"The Christian community here is very uncomfortable that Leakey and his group want their theories presented as fact," said Bishop Bonifes Adoyo, head of the largest Pentecostal church in Kenya, the Christ is the Answer Ministries.

"Our doctrine is not that we evolved from apes, and we have grave concerns that the museum wants to enhance the prominence of something presented as fact which is just one theory," the bishop said.

Bishop Adoyo said all the country's churches would unite to force the museum to change its focus when it reopens after eighteen months of renovations in June 2007. "We will write to them, we will call them, we will make sure our people know about this, and we will see what we can do to make our voice known," he said.

There's nothing stopping that Christian community from opening their own museum with their own artifacts that fit their theory. Oh wait...they don't have any such artifacts except their Bibles. They wouldn't need a very large museum of their own to display those at least.
