Animated dummies are latest tools for Darwin's Theory
The most popular exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Portland, OR, is one where animated dummies demonstrate human evolution.
The exhibit, Missing Links Alive!, consists of five dioramas populated by more than 30 animated figures. Each scene represents a specific time period in evolutionary development - ranging from 4 million to 20,000 years ago - and is narrated by a scientist on large video monitors.
The company that built the dummies is negotiating to take Missing Links Alive! to science museums in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Singapore.
We hope that creationists and fundamentalists will get mad, hire a competitor, and create their own high-tech edutainment version of human history for our enlightenment. Satan is Alive! perhaps, or Missing Links? That's Jive!
