From the article:
-----------------------------------
A petition drive is underway to prevent the Tulsa Zoo from putting in a
creationism display.
The city of Tulsa parks and recreation board approved the Biblical display
earlier this month. Dan Hicks had lobbied the board after finding several
other displays at the Tulsa Zoo that could have religious meaning. But a
newly formed group called "Friends of religion and science" disagrees.
They say the zoo’s current exhibits provide cultural context and don't
promote any religious philosophy. Retired education curator Carol Eames:
"they have to realize it was never our intent to promote religion, it was
to show the way that various cultures around the world look at their
natural world. How they look at plants, animals and how they create beliefs
about it."
