...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 didn’t 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 one’s 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 Pollack’s work quietly with their friends? It would never happen. That’s because REAL museums are tools for education and don’t try to control how its visitors think.

Bingo!!!!
Skeptics regularly spend time accumulating evidence and publishing articles critical of pseudosciences and superstitions such as astrology, dowsing, creationism, phrenology, faith healing, dianetics, etc.
They weren't the ones mocking science.
Are you not aware of christanitys history?? the spanish inquesitions—forcing christianity onto jews then burning them to death so they won’t “sin” again.Please read the history of christianity before you make asinine remarks.
The problem for God-haters is that the Scriptures, which were written by God, have been proven to be correct down to the letter while astrology, faith healing, etc. cannot make the same claim.
For example, part of the book of Revelation gives details about a future time when a world dictator will force everyone on earth to receive a mark in order to buy or sell. That was written in approximately 95 AD. It is absolutely impossible for a man, writing in the first century, to know that the time would come when human beings would be able to number every single person on earth unless there was a omnipotent, omniscient Being telling this first-century man what would be occurring thousands of years after his death. And, in the year 2009, not only is a one-world government well on it's way to reality, a global currency which would have to be in place for the Revelation prophecy to be fulfilled, is in it's beginning stages as well.
There is so much evidence of His existence that one has to be so entrenched in hate and enmity with God that he can look at the evidence and deny it and reject God.
But not to worry. God will grant the atheist his wish: eternal separation from Him and the people who love Him and claim Him as Savior. You will never be forced to accept God, or be with Him, or experience His blessings or a relationship with Him. He doesn't force Himself on people.
Too bad the same can't be said of those who hate Him.
I call BS. If they had done nothing to be kicked out for, there would be no story to report. This was obviously a publicity stunt.
If that were true the word missionary would not exist.
Yeah, kinda like 'real' public schools and 'real' universities that don't try to control what students think.
To be fair, missionaries do not by definition impose their beliefs on others. Historically, of course, they often did.
Probably the fact that they exhibit dinosaurs and humans frolicking about together.
I'd mock 'em too.
It's idiotic.
It is the atheists who have successfully ‘imposed’ their beliefs through the tools of legislation.
That's putting it mildly. Here's an exhibit showing a human and a couple of dinosaurs together:
I have been to this museum, I spent quite some time explaining the other side to my son and never had a problem with being bothered by the staff.
I expect these people were disruptive.
So, we need to push the intellectual battle back into the squalid, forelorn little mental recesses where the idea of sudden creation was born. Because there, like some huge, contagious, metastasizing blob of mucus, it extends its slimy pods into the very underpinning of FR and conservative thought everywhere.
Hope you all understand my sense of urgency. :)
Nothing there to mock, no sir.
There is about 65 million years between the two. I think they are a bit off on their diorama.
This “museum” could benefit from a legit degreed (Harvard would do nicely) paleontologist or two.
Some of self-professed atheists have serious head problems resulting in a bitter hatred of religion. A good comparison are flamboyant homosexuals.
Most atheists and most homosexuals prefer to be left alone, and only get loud when somebody gets in their face. I cannot blame them for this, because even if it is in someone’s religion that they are supposed to get in people’s faces, there is no compelling reason that other people have to take it, when they are minding their own business.
But flamboyant atheists and homosexuals are the equal, if opposite, to a persistently nuisancesome religious proselytizer, or a repeated sexual harasser, for that matter. And there is no reason to have to tolerate their getting in your face as well.
This reaches a head in public schools in all cases. Parents do, and have the right, to get bent out of shape when they find out their children are being assailed by any of the above annoying people. The parents realize their children are somewhat malleable, and also a captive audience, which attracts agenda-driven demagogues like flies to honey.
Be they of a different religion, flamboyant atheists or homosexuals, or ACORN Democrats. Hands off the kids, or else.
