ydoaPs Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 On my way to PCU George H W Bush, I drove by the Creation Museum. I seriously contemplated checking it out. I even had my digital camera(with video capabilities, so YouTube possibilities) in my pocket. Gah, I even had legitimate questions about their particular cdesign proponentsist model( such as "After the Flood, how did animals get to all of the continents?") in case I saw someone I recognized like Ken Ham. Unfortunately, I decided to just drive past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 You still have the drive back. Spend the $20, wear a lab coat and your, "Take me to your Higher Authority" button. Then start the video and Prepare to BelieveTM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Why'd you decide to keep going? Scared you might be unable to deal with their overpowering display of utterly convincing scientifically based research? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoiA Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I would definitely stop, so I could show my kids what weirdos really look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wouldn't it be amusing if science groups started leading tours of the Creation Museum, lead by archeologists pointing out the flaws in their reasoning and why evolution really does answer those questions? It would be a great response to that story out of Colorado about creationists leading tours of a natural history museum out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a great response to that story out of Colorado about creationists leading tours of a natural history museum out there. That would be sweet. But I'm pretty sure they'd be "expelled" from the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 20 bucks that says such a group — not attempting stealth, mind you, and attempting to tour the whole thing — gets EXPELLED from the museum. edit: D'oh. I didn't see Paranoia's post. Still, I'm ponying up cash, and have announced it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see Paranoia's post. Still, I'm ponying up cash, and have announced it It is easy to get expelled from somewhere, just act inappropriately. Hey, how much is the entrance fee? Maybe I could come out ahead here I might be willing to take that bet, but I need to put limitations on the behavior of the group (i.e. no inappropriate behavior)...and I suppose we would also want the questions to be probing of the flaws in this musuem as well. I don't know how we could verify the actions of anyone there. It would be a he said, she said situation if they did get expelled, and if they didn't I suppose one could argue they weren't critical enough.

swansont Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 My 20 bucks is for them not getting expelled, so if the motivation is for the cash, they should be on their best behavior. But as YDOAPS is hinting, video and youtube. Document it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDarwin Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The local softball news show (Live at Five, I'm sure you have similar) did a story of them fairly recently. From that I thought it was reasonably close, but its apparently in way up there northern Kentucky. Almost Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Great idea swansont, I'll throw 20 bucks into the pot for that. Come on guys, I know some of you are young and adventurous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 How about if we all pitch in (and I am sure other science web sites will contribute) to build 20 ft tall, 6 ft thick concrete walls around all the creation museums? It would be a much better use of our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 According to its Wikipedia article it's in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not exactly convenient, but surely SOMEONE is willing to shoot us a great video of evolutions leading a scientifically accurate tour of the place! Come on, just think how much fun you could have with an exhibit like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yah it looks like Cincinnati is right on the border of Kentucky. Hey look, the Wikipedia has a list of Creationist Museums around the world. Find one in your area for neoAdamsian expulsion goodness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_creationist_museums I found one in my area, but apparently it does tours by appointment only. Awwww.

Last month they decided to move the whole city next to the Ohio River, which just happens to provide a border between Ohio and Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
