Arguably this shouldn't be in the science section but I chose to put it here because it portrays itself as science (and we all know what "science" is to creationists).

Quote:Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm (NAZF) is a zoo just outside Bristol that markets itself to schools and is heavily focused on child education.
However, instead of teaching well-established science, it promotes creationism.
The literature displayed at the zoo is hostile to Darwin and his theories and attempts to debunk techniques such as radio carbon dating and interpretation of the fossil record.
Much of this literature - which is presented as fact - contradicts science on the national curriculum, thereby actively damaging a child’s education. This can be evidenced on their website; however, this is much diluted compared the ardent creationist material on display at the zoo.
NAZF also uses the VisitBritian logo to market the zoo.
The stated aim of VisitBritain (Britain's national tourism agency) is to market Britain worldwide and to develop England's visitor economy.
By promoting the NAZF, with its creationist agenda and harmful educational materials, VisitBritian is damaging the reputation of the United Kingdom.
