As anyone who has visited the Creation Museum knows, Professor Arnold Miller’s comments about “being demonized” are over the top. Nowhere in the Creation Museum (examples please, Dr. Miller) are evolutionists identified as “…responsible for all the ills of the society.”
Frankly, his comments need to be translated to understand his real complaint:
“This is a very well done museum that shows how wrong Darwin and evolutionists have been for the past 150 years.”

Paleontologists visit enemy turf in evolution debate with field trip to Creation Museum in U.S.

PETERSBURG, Kentucky. In one of the largest gatherings of critics since the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky opened two years ago, six dozen paleontologists in the area for a conference Wednesday took a field trip to get a glimpse of the marketing tactics used by the other side of the evolution debate.
Paleontologists spend their careers studying evolution, and here they were visiting a place where nearly every room is dedicated to disproving it through Creationism, a fundamentalist Christian belief based on a literal interpretation of the Bible that contends God created the universe just a few thousand years ago.
“The real purpose of the museum visit is to give some of my colleagues an opportunity to sense how they’re being portrayed,” said Arnold Miller, a professor of paleontology at the University of Cincinnati, which is hosting the conference. “They’re being demonized, I feel, in this museum as people who are responsible for all the ills of society.”
