Should secularists, atheists and the non-fundamentalist religious support Creationist's so-called "museums"?

[SuperAtheist]

when you get to the "museum", ask to be let in for free!

if they refuse, pray out loud to god for free entry.

creationist can't afford to let the power of prayer fail, it will make god look bad!

Even if it fails, it still might work.

I'd like to go to that place, but the rage would make me vomit blood on a dinosaur.

[InReasonWeTrust]

Why vomit blood on an innocent dinosaur; save it for Eve.

"Why vomit blood on an innocent dinosaur; save it for Eve"

Internet + Creationism = weirdest sentences ever.

I think that they went gives an image of what it was like. That they took video of it gives a look at the museum that offers a sense of legitimacy to arguments against it. People can now look at their footage and get a good idea of what it's like there without giving them a dime and be able to counter people who say things like "well, you don't know what it's like there!" (Even though it's true that you don't need to be there to know it's wrong).

I think it was a good thing for them to go. It sucks that they had to pay a fee, essentially supporting the Creationist Museum.. But I believe they did is as a learning experience and to better understand the other side. I think it's good, in any case, to always see the other side of the story.

If i were a resident in USA i would find a way to either spraypaint myself or sue to change the name of the place to "lulz musem"

But the thing is Ken Ham's views are no secret. They are well documented. Is it really reasonable to ask people to pay $15 up front to get the facts you are presenting in order to argue with you? I don't think so.

That being said, I have no problem w. paying admission to such a place for the entertainment value.

[CristinaFernandez]

If you're talking about whether or not we should support anti-science museums and other organizations to learn about them and their positions to better form our opinions and counter their arguments, I'm not troubled by the fact that I'm paying a $15 admission ticket that will benefit a creation museum.

If you are going to speak on the Creation Museum and other organizations, you have to have an informed opinion about it and its contents. Nobody anywhere is entitled to an uninformed opinion.

Give nothing to Ken. But stand at a legally acceptable distance off property holding protest posters of the periodic table.

[Fordi]

No. We shouldn't be giving them our money. At all.

What are you trying to tell me, man did not ride on dinosaurs? You mean the Flintstones ARE NOT the "historical documents?" Next you'll be telling me we can send men to the moon!
