My family and I went a couple of years ago. It seemed fairly benign, if a bit corny/garish. The whole "evolution is evil" thing kind of comes out of nowhere. Afterwards I looked up the group behind it and read about Falun Dafa. It won't convince anyone to join their group, but it probably raises a fair amount of funds for it. As entertainment it is moderately interesting, but I wouldn't go again.

But the side-trips into propaganda made me feel like I had been deceived by the advertising, which really turned me off. Propaganda makes for mediocre art. I think one of the seminal essays to that effect was actually written by a prominent propagandist. It's a very important idea for 2019.

- Simon_says 8y agoI believe evolution is evil, too. Doesn't mean it's not true.
- jackcosgrove 8y agoNatural selection is progress through suffering and death. Evolution can happen in many different ways.
- garmaine 8y agoAmoral and evil are different things.
- microdrum 8y agoIt’s possible to believe that “evolution is evil” and acknowledge the strength of the theory, too. Science Belief 1: Evolution. Simultaneous Religious Belief 1: Humans have souls and are special, elevated beings existing above the realm of the animals. You’d be surprised how many smart people believe both!
