I looked at the fact sheet but my sense of direction gene is absent and I don't understand where they are talking about building this monstrous joke. Is it near the battlefield? The campus? Or the massive strip malls?

In another NYT interview (link...)
this woman felt it was an insult to the locals.

“A lot of people think this is a big boy who’s come in to a small town, and he’s pulling the wool over our eyes and feeding us a line, and hopes the Tennessee hillbilly people don’t catch on,” said Melissa Batey, who lives on a nearby farm that has been in her husband’s family for 200 years."

where exactly?

Somewhere near SR840 and Beesley Rd. Here's the general vicinity...

That looks much too close to the Civil War site since people like to leisurely ride their bikes through the area and farmers STILL dig up bullets, buttons and other pieces of the past. Keep in mind that that area of Tn is also home to a nudist colony.

Visions of athletic people wheeling bicycles along a road littered with Civil War artifacts while every now and then glancing through a thicket where buck-naked men and women are playing a serious game of volleyball. And there along the tops of the trees, the looming Tower of Babble...gee what a picturesque part of the state that Rutherford County turns out to be!

I think things are a teeny bit more spread out than that but imagine the roller coaster of apocalypse overlooking it all.

What are the chances that any opposition will be turned into anti christian agenda?

Christians like all other groups contain the good, the bad, and the ugly. When they're being ugly, I have no qualms about saying so. Given a choice, I'd rather be thought of as anti-Christian than to cowtow to herd mentality and be shown as a total fool.

There seems to be a trend.

Despite the showmanship behind the $27 million museum opening tomorrow, the evangelists who put it together contend that none of the gleaming exhibits are allegorical. God did create the universe in six days, they say, and the earth is about 6,000 years old.

The Orlando Sentinel reports (registraton required), More than 20 years ago, he helped create the Jaws and King Kong rides at Universal Studios Orlando. Today, Marsh is the chief designer of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., a high-tech, $27 million theme park built to illustrate -- and prove -- the truth of the biblical origins of the Earth.

I once read that students at Oral Roberts University called it "Six Flags Over Jesus". A check with Google suggests that the phrase is commonly used to describe any ostentatious display used in the Holierthanthouist faith.

It's really bad public policy when theme parks are tax exempt just because they call themselves religious. It's the kind of nonsense that leads to L. Ron Hubbard.

Liberty and justice for all.

Well, that's some consolation to the polls, I guess.
