Are you serious about this? You want the state to prohibit wrong ideas?
I could make a hundred qualifying statements before saying yes and I still wouldn't have covered all of the bases. I think it borders on dangerous to be teaching blatant religous fiction as fact. I don't advocate the outlawing of fiction, but wholesale disinformation and the intentional breeding of ignorant citizens is something that needs to be examined when these sorts of ideas become so prevelant as to manifest an entire museum.

So, no, in some massive Orwellian sense I do not want the state to prohibit wrong ideas. I do however find the fact that these people will be operating and perpetuating their absolute lunacy and fabricated science under the guise of freedom of religion rather offensive.
You have a right to your faith.
You do not (or rather should not) however, have a right to teach it as fact when there is conclusive proof that it is false.
A museum based on a literal interpretation of Genesis is nothing more than organized miseducation.
