suggestion for a DU Meet-up: Creation Museum in KY.

Yes, it's real: click here if your stomach is strong.

I can imagine us going through as a group, and acting as a group of teenagers - laughing and making fun of each presentation, being disruptive, and taking pictures of those being disruptive. I would be extremely disappointed if some of us didn't get "kicked -out" for challenging their representations with scientific fact - or at least being disruptive by doing irreverent things to the presentations!

For those of us left who didn't get kicked out (with video references), we would demand our money back. This could also be videotaped and have a lot of potential.

I'm not really conveying the potential fun involved in this project, and I leave it to more imaginative folks to describe the potential. In the first place, I think it would be fun just to meet other DU'ers. In the second place, I think it would be fun to put the Creationists in their place. In the Third place, we could do to museum pieces what we always wanted to do as children - play on them and deface them in the name of "having fun".

At the end of the tour, we could demand our money back. Of course, anyone who was "ejected" for "inappropriate behavior" will not be included (lucky basterds). But, they can file a lawsuit later to determine if their behavior was inappropriate - which means the site will settle (lucky basterds).

Why not? We can register as any group we want. Once we get inside, that's when we expose them and raise havoc!

I don't know that it's something I'm interested in doing.

I'd rather visit EPCOT.

Why can't stupid people have freedom of speech too?

I cannot believe you would suggest going through and destroying personal property and acting stupid just becasue it is not in line with popular belief. So they are stupid. Let them be.

Why waste our time with such childishness.

Even if I don't share their beliefs in no way could I be a part of this or condone it either.

I seem to remember that a Skeptical Inquirer reporter was not welcomed.

I obviously don't know your intention here, but your OP seems like something an agent provocateur would suggest.
