How low can self-loathing progressives go? At the Ontario Science Center's display "A Question of Truth" one can find the answer. In the name of multi-cultural "tolerance" modern liberals will deny the most basic truths of science. On the website of something calling itself a science center is this statement:
Seriously, I am not making this up. Follow the above link and behold the fruits of relativism, self-hatred, the inability to discern race from culture, and knee-jerk Western Civilization bashing.
Ptolemy was not a primitive thinker, but he was certainly wrong. Anyone today who holds a geocentric view of the solar system is a crank a la the flat earth society. However, the development of the scientific method has made it possible to correct errors and gain knowledge. By comparison many cultures and societies are primitive. To deny this obvious truth is to doom such people to a short, brutish life.

Ontario Science Center: A Question of Nihilism
How low can self-loathing progressives go? At the Ontario Science Center's display "A Question of Truth" one can find the answer. In the name of multi-cultural "tolerance" modern liberals will deny the most basic truths of science. On the website of something calling itself a science center is this statement:
Modern Western science puts the Sun at the centre of the solar system. But other points of view are not necessarily wrong or primitive. Examine the Earth-centred solar system models of other cultures.
