Is this the one with the dinosaur hatching? I saw the ad in CT a few weeks
ago and it was really disturbing. Obviously they have money to burn on a
splashy ad campaign. But I thought about it a little and if there's a
silver lining, it's that thoughtful people ought to be able to see that
marketing glitz is usually inversely proportionate to truth value.
Unfortunately, the evangelical mainstream is often more interested in snappy
graphics and slogans than in hard questions and truth.
