Creationist dinosaur program stirs controversy

In Effingham, Illinois Jeanette Bushur took her dinosaur loving kids to what she thought would be a little museum at Central Grade School, instead she got something else entirely.

“[They said] tyrannosaurus rexes ate vegetables,” Bushur said. “[They said] there were dinosaurs with Noah on the ark and that evolution was a myth.” A dinosaur exhibit on creationism.

“We thought it would be something like a museum that you could walk through and see individual exhibits,” Bushur’s boyfriend Daniel Douglas said.

The Creation Truth Foundation put on the event at Central as well as another presentation at Christ’s Church in Effingham.

The foundation also put on another presentation Friday during school hours, but Bushur says that presentation stuck to which dinosaurs had the biggest teeth and the longest horns.

“My daughter just heard about dinosaurs and dinosaur facts on Friday — none of the religious aspect,” Bushur said. “But that’s what made me think the same sort of thing was going to happen Saturday.”

The flier she received for the event had no mention of any religious or church tie in.
