    Famous One-Eyed kitten to prove creationism?

    So, the famous one-eyed cat (popularly-named "Cy" - short for "Cyclops") is going to prove creationism? How is that suppose to work?

    From the AP:

    GRANBY, N.Y. -- The one-eyed, noseless kitten that inspired an international debate last year over whether it was a hoax is coming to a new museum of oddities in central New York.

    The museum founder, who believes in creationism, said the kitten is meant to launch another debate about how science and religion intersect.

    The Oregon woman who owned the kitten said she turned down Ripley's Believe it or Not! and sold the remains to John Adolfi of Granby because she liked his religious reasons for wanting them.

    ...

    Cy will be displayed in a glass jar in the Lost World Museum, which Adolfi hopes to open in nearby Phoenix this fall.

    Other exhibits will include giant plants and eggs, deformed animal remains and archaeological finds, Adolfi said.

    Personally, I've always seen genetic anomalies as a negative proof for the existence of God at best, i.e., "Look how easily things can go wrong with life - isn't it amazing every time they go right?"

    Many people, though, seem to take Cy a very different way, as Jimmy Akin mentions:
    "Many people seemed to invest a mystical significance in Cy, speculating that God may have sent him into the world to teach us a valuable lesson and redeem us from the cynicism and lack of wonder in our society today"

    But then again, most "cat people" are a little bit strange to start off with... ;-)

    Oh well, this little Cy story has been quite a public odyssey, and it shows no signs of ending soon.
