The "Flying Spagetti Monster" is off-topic...
... unless you can come up with a damn good reason for otherwise.
The topic is pretty broad, but let us focus on the "Museum" part. Every message should have some connection to the creationism MUSEUM.

There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

Re: The "Flying Spagetti Monster" is off-topic...
That guideline was not specifically aimed at Key's. The ultimate problem goes back to whomever first introduced the FSM into the topic.
Also, in regards to Molbiogirl's message 73, where she quotes and comments on the content of message 1.
Here is your OP in its entirety:
First we had the one in the US. Now, another one in Canada. I would not be surprised if many in different states and countries opened up over the next decade or so.
I think this is a good thing. A great thing. Long overdue.
Not because all the science is perfect, any more than it might be for the evolution proponents, but, because children deserve faith.
I plan to recommend both museums, and any more than spring up.
You will note that nowhere is "creation" mentioned.
"Creationism" is in the topic title:
Creationism museum opens in Alberta
That leaves the topic pretty broad, but "creationism" and "museum" are pretty key words.
Creationism is on topic, IF it connects up with the creationism museum concept. Basicly, if it wouldn't be found in the museum, then it's off-topic.

Jesus' resurection has nothing to do with creationism museums!!!
OK, I pick Jesus rising. We saw it. We believe it. We documented it.
OK. Good. A place to start.
OFF-TOPIC
Also, lot of worthless subtitles happening. A good subtitle can be very useful when searching for a specific message (ie. See message 237).
Sure seems like a lot of smoke and very little substance in this thread. I might suggest that the other refrain from replying until Keys comes up with some real substance in his messages. Otherwise we might best just lay this topic to rest.
