An Educational Weekend

After Friday night's concert featuring Korn, Chris Cornell, Muse, 30 seconds to Mars and Good Charlotte, it was quite a come down on Saturday and Sunday when we visited Maropeng and Sterkfontein Caves at the Cradle of Humankind, a world heritage site. From head-banging to heads in glass cases, well skulls really.

What a fascinating tour back in time, learning about the origins of mankind, the true beginnings - evolution. While viewing the exhibits (Mrs. Ples and the Taung Child skulls among many others) it dawned on me that certain organizations had gone through great lengths to put together an exhibit such as this, with real specimens of pre-historic man and other fossils to prove the theory of evolution. Yet, I have never heard of, nor seen any exhibition, with real specimens that was put together to prove the theory of creation. I suppose it must be pretty hard to find and display "airy-fairy" anywhere on earth, to prove that we were created.

Makes you think, doesn't it?
