Belief gets in the way of learning
After viewing the image of that sign, I remembered something that reminded me that it should not be surprise. I remembered the last item in The AiG Statement of Faith.
"By definition, no apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
You will find similar statements from Creation Research Society, Institute for Creation Research, Creation Studies Institute, and Creation Ministries International, among others.
These show that they are doing the exact opposite of science. Their other writing generally show that they are anti-science (as science comes up with the wrong answers).
Heinlein was right: "Belief gets in the way of learning."

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
