The American Museum of Natural History in New York, has curated an exciting exhibit, honoring the life of Charles Darwin. It cost $3,000,000 to organize and setup. The money has come totally from private individuals and non profits. Corporations gave 0, due to fear of attack from fundamentalist Yahoos.
At the same time in Cincinatti, Oh, the Creationist Museum, received $7,000,000 dollars in corporate donations.
The fundamentalists are louder, than their actual numbers. The majority of people want religion inside the church, not in the science classroom, or at the scientific exhibition.

I got to your blog from some Egyptian blog comment you posted, your smart comment that fundamentalists have ahigh voice and low number might not really be true otherwise Bush wouldn't have been still in power. maybe the difference in the US is almost at the 50% mark between librals and conservatives.
In egypt though and the rest of the middle east the actions by Fundamentalist like Bush (pardon me!) has pushed support towards conservative Islam far byond the 50% mark. the deal is Merging relegion with politics seems to be in fashion these days, in the US, Israel, and now in Egypt at the first semi-clean elections start.
Do you have a list of the corporations that funded the museum in Cincinatti? Walmart?? Just curious.
The museum has raised $18 million as of now. It is about $400,000 month.
haha, nice nice stuff!
