The Story of God

The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below.

While the latest exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in New York explores evolution (BMJ 2005;331: 1379[Abstract/Free Full Text]), several hundred miles away at the start of the US Bible belt some of those who reject Darwin's theory are building a museum of creation. So far creationists have raised $25m (£14m; 21m) towards the project, which is nearing completion in Petersburg, Kentucky, and which claims to show that the world came into being exactly as told in the book of Genesis. It would not be so worrying if the museum, which bizarrely displays mankind side by side with dinosaurs and includes a tableau titled "Adam names the animals," was intended as a bit of theme-park style fun. But, as UK fertility expert and television presenter Robert Winston tells us in the third and final episode of The Story of God, this is serious stuff.
