I have no idea what this article is about (I suspect it's about an artist) but the images are amazing.

Underwater statues

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

My Spanish is pretty rusty, but basicaly it's about a submarine museum. It's the largest of it's kind and it's featuring sculptures by artist Jason Taylor DeCaires. The project started in 2009 and has presently over 100 sculptures.

Translation from Google, my Spanish is not very good.

The sculptures are beautiful. I'd like know if the sea-life altering them is part of the plan or a drawback.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I recall watching a TV show (or web article?) about a similar reef/tourist attraction built out of statues. The changes brought about by sea life has to be part of the plan or at least anticipated, since it's known that it's exactly what will happen. Makes you wonder why they'd make the statues so detailed; as you can see from some of the pictures, they will eventually be buried under coral and anemones.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

@OP I speak Spanish, did you just want a translation for the article or were you wanting to find out how you could visit the museum?

I'm pretty sure most Spanish people speak it.
