...according to Myers and at least one of my other sources that attended, aside from joking to each other about the ridiculous nonsense in the museum, no one misbehaved. But that didnt seem to stop museum officials from harassing individuals and eventually kicking a few people out of the museum for imaginary infractions.
Essentially, it seems the museum feels that merely disagreeing with its science and mocking it to ones friends is grounds for having visitors removed from the property. This is absurd. Could you imagine if the American Museum of Natural History ejected visitors for being creationists? Or if the Museum of Modern Art ejected visitors for critiquing the art or mocking Jackson Pollacks work quietly with their friends? It would never happen. Thats because REAL museums are tools for education and dont try to control how its visitors think.

Still insulting people? How sad.
This may be the most staggeringly stupid statement that I've seen in years. Do you actually feel this way about 99.9% of scientists?
(see http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA111.html for documentation of the 99.9% figure)
Case closed.
Because you say so? Hardly.
BTW, only mythical people think that there is mythology in the Bible.
Please tell me that this was merely a failed attempt at humor.
Your definition of “scientist” leaves all science to be desired.
You are a dismal Stepford person. I hope you’re paid well for this.
You're a conspiracy theorist? Cool!
Love your hair doo!
It goes with your philosophy well.
Shilling for the death culture is pretty much regular employment in this twisted, degenerated country, so you need not fear being treated to the conspiracy laws. We have more than our share of shills here, and you have much in common with them: Limited cognition, no knowledge of god’s word, and a weird idea of what science is.
Your views are politically correct, but most illogical.
Oh, and that yellow shirt? It’s you! (and your cohort named himself quite well)
It happens all over the world!
It goes with your philosophy well.
Oh dear, you seem to be confused. Please allow me to explain. Person "A" (that's you) makes statements which indicate that he's a conspiracy theorist. Person "B" (that's me!) then posts a picture of a goofy-looking guy wearing a strange hat. You may not be familiar with the significance of this headwear; please read the following short article. Take your time, I'm not going anywhere.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinfoil_hat
Tum te tum....hey, you're back! Now do see how the picture refers to person A rather than person B? It's a good thing I'm here to clear these sorts of things up for you. As you can now tell, this is indicative of your philosophy, not mine.
Shilling for the death culture is pretty much regular employment
More conspiracies! Why, they're everywhere! Who's behind it all? The Bavarian Illuminati, The Discordian Society, The UFOs, The Servants of Cthulhu, The Bermuda Triangle, or The Gnomes of Zürich? Or maybe (cue ominous music) it's all of them!
in this twisted, degenerated country
Huh. I've always considered the United States of America to be the greatest country on Earth. I hesitate to say that I'm more patriotic than someone, but when he openly despises the good 'ole U. S. of A...well, if the shoe fits, wear it, I say.
so you need not fear being treated to the conspiracy laws.
Really? Really and truly? That's such a load off my mind. At last I well be able to sleep well, no longer fearing that knock on the door at 3 AM.
We have more than our share of shills here
It's a conspiracy I tell you!
and you have much in common with them: Limited cognition, no knowledge of gods word, and a weird idea of what science is.
Your views are politically correct, but most illogical.
I'm PC? Hm...better do a checklist.
Let's see. I want to repeal the '34 and '68 gun control acts, I support increased defense spending, I'd eliminate foreign aid, I'm in favor of a (low) flat tax, I oppose all affirmative action, I think business is over-regulated, I'm opposed to socialized medicine, I support the war on Islamic Fascism, I want to stop illegal immigration, I think we should be building lots of nuclear power plants, and I laugh at environmental activists. Oh, and I also don't want creationism taught in public schools.
Gosh...you found me out. Could I be more PC?
Oh, and that yellow shirt? Its you! (and your cohort named himself quite well)
Remember: "A", not "B".
Surely you're joking. No one could be that foolish and/or credulous.
(clicks on link)
You're not joking. Remember when I commented earlier in the thread that something was "the most staggeringly stupid statement that I've seen in years"?
Meet the new champion.
You’re right about one and only one thing:
You aren’t going anywhere! - Stuck in the PC mud.
(and I do like your yellow shirt)
You arent going anywhere! - Stuck in the PC mud.
Gee, can you imagine how much more interesting this would be if you addressed the points I've been making rather than resorting to childish insults?
Ah, well...wishful thinking on my part, it appears.
By the way, you're describing as "PC" someone who wants less gun control, more defense spending, no foreign aid, lower taxes, no affirmative action, less regulation of business, no socialized medicine, increased prosecution of the war on Islamic Fascism, a stop to illegal immigration, more nuclear power plants, and less environmental activism.
As Inigo Montoya said to Vizzini, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
(and I do like your yellow shirt)
(sigh) Didn't you read the article? People who wear tinfoil hats are your brethren, not mine.
If you don't keep up with the assigned reading it's going to have a negative impact on your grade.
You make no points.
You’re stuck in an imaginary world.
Let the audience note that you haven't managed to refute a single thing that I've said.
Youre stuck in an imaginary world.
You think that people can regrow lost limbs and eyes, and you think my world is imaginary? Talk about projection...
The audience on this Christian, conservative site doesn’t really care what you say.
You came here spewing foolishness, calling the stated beliefs of the owner of the site “mythology,” and expect to be respected? You’re a joke!
Please document that this site is Christian as such. That would require you to actually respond to what I'm saying, of course...as opposed to simply throwing out playground insults, as has been your modus operandi thus far. In any case, I've already documented my conservatism on economic, foreign policy, and RKBA issues, so your attack simply doesn't hold water.
You came here spewing foolishness,
Pointing out the absurdity of a museum whose "science" exhibits are at the level of The Flintstones isn't foolish. It's more in the nature of a public service.
calling the stated beliefs of the owner of the site mythology, and expect to be respected?
Pointing out that the fanciful stories in the Bible are mythical no more disrespects Christians than pointing out the mythical aspects of the Qur'an, the Vedas, Dianetics and the Vendidad disrespects Muslims, Buddhists, Scientologists, and Zoroastrians.
Youre a joke!
Ah, yet another insult. Really, is this all you're capable of? It's certainly not representative of the behavior of most of the Christians it's been my please to know.
How disappointing.
I stated that this is the greatest country on Earth. In the meantime, you're calling the USA a "twisted, degenerated country", and calling people (just in this thread!) "clown", "dismal Stepford person", a "shill for the death culture", and a "joke".
When you speak of people who don't deserve respect because of what they post here, perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Make that "pleasure to know". I shouldn't post when I'm tired...
You need to address your questions to the site’s owner.
What questions have I asked of you which would be more appropriate to ask of the site's owner?
