Chicago's Field Museun: Evolving Planet

I spent yesterday with two grandkids at the Field Museum's Evolving Planet exhibit. It is beautifully done and heartening to see streams of people exposing themselves, their children, and their grandchildren to the epic of evolution.

Anyone here been to see "Dr" Dinos museum?

Gee, I tried to get there when I was in Chicago earlier last month, but my ankle betrayed me. I got to see the lake and had to cut my site seeing short.

I heard there were biblical rafting trips through the Grand Canyon, talking about how it was created by "Noah's flood." I'd like to go on it just to see what kind of hogwash they're telling people.

Yea, I almost stopped by the Field Museum when I was in Chicago two weeks ago, but didn't have as much time as I had planned. I have been there before and it is a very nice museum. This sounds like it would have been an interesting exhibit to see.

I spent the first two years of my life in Chicago, and still have fond memories of the Field museum- I imagine it would be hard to forget something so incredible! I was able to visit a year or two ago, when they were having an exhibit of butterflies. It was one of the most incredible things I've experienced. It's almost heartwrenching that we live in a world capable of such incredible beauty.

This exhibit sounds even better! I like the way you phrased it, Jay- 'epic'. It's a wondrous time we live in that we- and our children- can freely learn about such things!
