Although the museum offers many diagrams and explanations of the known theory of evolution, representatives of Biblically Correct Tours [1] insist on teaching creationism on museum tours, to the chagrin of the many of the museum's employees. They claim that the earth is only 6000 – 10000 years old, despite the fact that there is a display in the museum which explains how and why radiometric dating is so accurate and credible. [2] [3] [4]
I've advised another editor who also brought it to my talk that the discussion needs to stay here as I'm not interested in this article or the conteroversies surrounding the museum TRAVELLINGCARI My story Tell me yours 16:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I would agree that this section should be removed. The supposed "controversy" lies only with this particular religious group and would apply to any institution that doesn't toe the line as they see it. I would add a vote for its removal. An absurd yet apt comparison would be a "controversy" section in an article about a cemetery because Fred Phelps holds protests there. Janus303 ( talk) 06:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I removed the dispute tag because it seems to be resolved, plus it's really an article page tag not a talk age tag, and it was causing the page to show on the Colorado portal's disputed articles section. Janus303 ( talk) 22:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
The article states that the IMAX was for ten years the only IMAX in "the tri-state area." Which three states are included? Plazak ( talk) 19:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I found a citation and added a mention of the original name of the museum, the "Colorado Museum of Natural History". However, it also spent some time as the "Denver Museum of Natural History", yet I've been unable to find a good reference for that name and/or when the change was made; I found a few passing mentions on rockymountainnews.com but nothing on denverpost.com. Any suggestions? Sw2k7 ( talk) 15:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
The DMNS just published a history of their museum -- it's also available for free download from http://www.dmns.org/science/museum-publications/ as Denver Museum of Nature & Science Annals 4. -- Gaurav ( talk) 07:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
