Creation Museum quick over all thoughts of trip.

The Creation Museum at first glance is a beautiful place. The gardens, pond, multiple waterfalls, board walks and walking paths are all beautiful. They have a nice picnic area too, and are working on another large section.

OK. Now that, that is out of the way. The Creation Museum blogged about us. They wrote a lot of bull shit. I feel the need to write about our treatment first. So I will get to the heart of the CM later.

When Mixter and I both arrived. A very official looking security guard, with an unfriendly, unemotional look to his face directed us to where to park. He did not look inviting, and possibly crabby. After we parked more than one hour before the SSA was to meet us. (Also as a side note. We decide to not wear any atheist shirt, to limit any chance of getting kicked out. We were just your average everyday middle aged couple touring the facility at this point.)We decided to walk the grounds. Along the way, we saw an older security guard. We said "Hi", and he friendlily returned the greeting. Then when we went back to parking lot to get the video camera in car. We had our bags searched by the older security officer. Again he was pleasant. (So were we.) When it was time to go in, there was a Captain Crabby Ass, sternly looking at group. He definitely had an attitude. At this point, no one had done or said anything. So why was he so aggressive looking? Was he on high alert status? lol Well we went through the museum(Very loosely defined as museum too.) We saw quite a few guards. The majority looked like complete assholes. Considering we smiled, waved and said "Hi" to all we came near or in contact with.

I forgot about this picture. It is a crop from across the pond. I wish I had my big lens on, so you could see their expressions.

I got a stern crabby look from the one I asked a question. He was not friendly or polite. While I was there, Mixter around corner. I saw three younger atheists of our group go running down the hall. At that moment Mr Happy spun around intently watching them. Finger on the trigger of his walkie talkie. I said to him "The line was closed and there was nothing down there." He looked at me pissed and didn't even say a word. I said that to diffuse the potential situation. What a little prick.

After the CM, screwed us out of the Ultimate proof of God lecture.(Miraculously was sold out at 11AM.) They had already given out the tokens. Ken Ham said it was mostly atheists in the room, but judging by the people in line. I think he was full of shit. Mixter and I killed some time in the store. Since I missed the Ultimate Proof lecture. I bought the book to read, and blog about. While in the store, I had book and some special candy treats(I will post about them later too). I had just picked up a book. The guy, I think was the owner of their guard dog, was near. He the gave the dog to a security guard. Then an asshole guard showed up, and took control of the dog. He sternly told the dog to lay down. She did not. He then yelled at her to lay down. Now we are talking about a black Labrador retriever that looked to be 10+ years old. Very mellow disposition. I actually thought he was going to jerk her, or knock her to the ground. He obviously doesn't work with her. He then tells Mixter and I to step away from the shelves. He and his partner have to clear this area. He they then just stood there. Barney Fife meets Mall Cop.

Now these jackasses do not move. Mixter and I waited for them to clear it. They did nothing. I had a book, I wanted to put back in its proper place. So I waited for a good clearing. Patiently. I was not going to waste my day, watching tweedle dee and tweedle dum stand there, so I handed him the book and said "It goes right there." I pointed to spot. He took the book, and said nothing. I did not look angry or unhappy. I was not going to get kicked out or cause a scene. I feel they did this on purpose. Trying to cause a conflict.

Now here is the thing. I have been around police and sheriffs my whole life. I have helped the Dane county swat team train. I watched them clear rooms, a house and a school. At no point did they clear an area by standing still. So the Asshole Barney Fife Junior needed to have dog smell books we touched, or smell area for bombs, drugs and or incendiary devices. They needed to inspect area, looking behind, books. Under, around shelves and behind any decoration items. They did none of the above. Maybe it was complicated stuff. Maybe they needed a list of things to do. Maybe they were waiting for the green light to do something, other than stand there with a stick up their ass.

At the end of our day there. There was a nice kind happy looking security guard in entrance area. He smiled at us. I said "Hi" and gave him a wave. He smiled back.

Out by the parking lot, there was a security guard that looked crabby. I had not taken any pictures of guards, for fear of being tossed, and /or having them touch my camera.(I really felt like we were in a third world country with how security acted.) I took this picture of the junior not so super blooper trooper from parking lot. I tried to pretend like I was getting whole building. Then we left. Is he happy? How would we have felt if he had smiled and waved? In some other life he might be a typical, asshole cop in Kentucky. Today he was just a flunky with a gun.

So you have to think. Is this how Christians treat everyone? Did Ken ham approve of this behavior? If you are not Christian, Creation Museum policy is to intimidate you with security? The fact is. This is NOT a museum of any sort. It is not a bank. It is not a building, holding government officials. There is really not special with this place. Why have a security force that acts like a bunch of DICKS? They have a job, protecting a life size fairy tale. They might as well be protecting a water park in the Wisconsin Dells. They put as much, if not more work into their attractions.

Beside all that. On Kens post about us, he was obviously exaggerating everything to try and discredit us. You can look for all sorts of things to be offended by. I saw the employees making rounds spying on us. I did not see anyone get spoken too. I did not see anyone being too loud and being offensive. Except ... There was a woman in the 3pm lecture on "Ape-Men: The Grand Illusion" that interrupted the lecture. About every minute she made an outburst, loud enough for the whole room to hear. Nobody came and spoke to her. That woman was a Christian that said loudly "Amen!" after every sentence the speaker spoke except one. She was disrespectful to the speaker and every person in the room. Ken Ham did not write about this. She disrespected every atheist, Muslim, Hindu, and some Christians in there. Where was security escorting her back to the 1970 pickup, with beer cans pop riveted to fenders?

Did Ken Ham say that he was disrespectful to us, by having speakers say lies, like "Atheists do not have morals." ???

It is funny how the majority is so easily offended when their silly stone age beliefs get laughed at. We have no rights there. We were all offended by the lack of thought and intelligence that went into this money making scheme. Christians are dishonest. Dishonest with themselves and/or each other.

They want their beliefs respected, but they do not respect any other belief outside their religion.

They are a joke.

I had forgotten about this. The Virginia family that had their whole trip ruined, would have let a waitress ruin their vacation. Some guy in traffic who cut them off. Obviously the parents were a couple of losers. Who would let a t-shirt, or a couple of laughs ruin a whole vacation?

I have had many things happen while on vacation. I spent a lot of money to charter a boat, only to have both my children get sea sick. We had to take the back to shore. I had enough time to make one pass fishing. I hooked a Wahoo about 6 feet long and lost it at the side of the boat. I did not have more money for another boat trip. I did not have time either. I did not let it ruin my vacation. I was really looking forward for deep sea(gulf) fishing. I did not blame the ships Captain, my children, or my self. I just moved on. Shit happens. The same thing happened when I went to the grand canyon. I spent all summer trying to make weight limit to ride donkey to bottom of canyon. I was just over. I walked 3/4 way down. My fit children and ex wife had gone as far as they could. I didn't let that ruin my vacation. I enjoyed the whole trip. We were supposed to spend a week there. My kids were bored and did not care to see the canyon. After a few days, we drove to Las Vegas were they swam in the pools, went shopping and played games at attractions. I went with the flow. Maybe the whackadoos from Virginia could take a lesson or two from this heathen.
