Why are architecture magazines attacking the creation museum's beliefs?

Question

Architects design buildings? Why are they giving half baked theology comments in architectural journals? Is the quality of the editorship of these journals so poor as to allow this?

See except of writer Martin Filler's in a professional architecture journal.

" Creation Museum, Petersburg, Kentucky, by A.M. Kinney Associates. At a time when museums are accused of turning themselves into theme parks, along comes a bizarre new institution that makes Walt Disney World seem like the Albertina. This is not surprising, since the displays of cartoonish dinosaurs and humanoids at the Creation Museum—devised to supplant Darwin’s theory of evolution with a Bible-based fantasia of the world’s origins—were dreamed up by a former Universal Studios designer, Patrick Marsh. I use the term “institution” in both the museological and the psychiatric sense, because this only-in-America loony bin is no more a museum than I am Napoleon...." It gets worse...

Answer 1

Because creationism is ridiculous, and creating a 'museum' devoted to it is an idea so ludicrous it deserves to be ridiculed at every opportunity

Answer 2

Amazing...

We went to the Creation Museum for the Pre-Grand Opening. The architecture was stunning. I concur with you--this magazine was completely out of place to address the scientific principles behind the museum, when it should instead be addressing the quality of the workmanship (which was, as I before stated, absolutely magnificent).

This magazine obviously has an agenda...Pure propaganda.

Try and view the museum, if you have not yet been able to do so.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm 'starring' this. I want my contacts to see this.

EDIT:

THANK YOU FOR THE EMAIL ADDRESS.

EDIT 2:

"Shouldn't the architecture journal focus on the architecture and not go outside their field of expertize insulting people for believing in the Bible?..."

Exactly. Like I said, they have an agenda, and it's not to promote good architectural design.

You know, this is really absurd. You have an ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE COMMENTING ON SCIENCE/THEOLOGY, and then they are so hypocritical as to complain about SCIENTISTS FROM ANSWERS IN GENESIS, MOST OF WHOM WHO HAVE GRADUATED FROM COLLEGES LIKE YALE AND HARVARD, creating a SCIENCE MUSEUM.

I shall definitely send this misguided individual a little note. I just might pass this along to my church.

Amen to Regina. The leftist slant in the media is so overwhelmingly obvious...God will not be mocked.

Answer 3

One basic fundamental truth about America today is this:  THE LIBERAL, LEFT LEANING MEDIA ARE AGAINST GOD, PATRIOTISM, HUMAN FREEDOM AND RIGHTS.  The media is nuts.......anti-Christ.  They will face a severe judgment one day......wait and see.  God does not miss what is going on.  Payday is coming..........

Answer 4

Its great people have strong faith in god, but what this museum is doing is kind of like building something that resemble church, but when you go inside you see scientists lecturing about how god didn't create life...etc.

As much as people are annoyed when told evolution created life or whatever people are also annoyed when told god created everything.
