::Point taken. Uh, I haven't added anything useful to the article, but '''I''' didn't have anything to do with any debunking quotations, either... the edit I made a few minutes ago is the last edit I'll make to this particular sentence. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 13:18, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

"The exhibits illustrate that the planet is just a few thousand years old" means that the exhibits prove it.
"The exhibits are designed to show that the planet is just a few thousand years old" means that there is a purpose behind the exhibit.
"The purpose of the exhibits is to convince us that the planet is just a few thousand years old" clarifies the purpose and does not comment on whether they work.
"The exhibits are an attempt to convince visitors to the museum that the planet is just a few thousand years old" is much more near the truth, as many may not be convinced.
Take your pick
