I am looking forward to visiting the museum at the first opportunity. I am sure there will be much to learn, and much occasion for wonder. But I don't expect to take from it the story that its makers seem to have intended.

The Rose Center for Earth and Space's site has a virtual tour of the museum, information about the various exhibits and areas, a special Mars section, plus it makes your mouse cursor all sparkly.

The February issue of Natural History magazine has some articles online, but none of its special articles on the Rose Center are available.

Books & Culture Corner appears Mondays at ChristianityToday.com. Earlier Books & Culture Corners include:
