Vision Forum is a 5-year-old evangelical Protestant ministry that provides instructional materials for Christian home-schooling parents across the country. Last year it began booking family expeditions with a Florida-based ministry, Creation Expeditions, to archaeological sites they believe support biblical claims that God created the world in six days. The sites discussed in the article relate to paleontology instead of archaeology. Edited by Wesley R.

It is true that many paleontologists buy and sell fossils, but this is rarely their principle source of support.  A fun book on the early years of American paleontology is "The Bone Wars." -------------- "Science is the horse that pulls the cart of philosophy."
