The best picture Dan took in the museum. I smiled when I saw it. 
Did you miss the Creation Museum Field Trip with PZ Myers last month? I did, and so did Dan, my friend from Rationality Now. But he and his friend decided to go to the museum not long after. He wrote up a 6 part tour that I found amazing, disturbing and depressing. His writing is excellent and thorough, quite interesting and fascinating.
So I wanted to share Dan’s investigative tour with you. He sums up my feelings about the place rather perfectly. He has lots of pictures to illustrate as well.
Take a deep breath and dive in:
- Creation Museum Part 1 (which will lead you through to the other 5 parts)
- The Creation Museum Series page, with all the parts listed together
Thanks for the link and kind words, Neece!
The place was mind-boggling and it was sometimes painful to sit through some of the things, but I tried to take copious notes so I’d remember when doing my writeups. I still want to do a few more writeups about some of the other presentations we saw, but wanted to take a break from the brain-mushing effect before I start back in.

You’re quite welcome, Dan. Yeah, I worry for your IQ with all that nonsense. I couldn’t have done it, honestly. Keep us posted if you write up any more. Your writing (with all those awesome pictures too) is really excellent.

Yeah, too bad it’s not very accurate.

[...] 6. Take a photographic field trip to the Creation Museum with Rationality Now. Interesting pictures and great (skeptical) commentary from Dan. I highly recommend going through the whole series. HT2 Neece at Having Dead Cats blog. [...]
That sign is too optimistic. Yet I like how the creationists fret, I assume we are doing something right.

True. I think, though, that creationists fret about the godless as a general rule, as part of their dogma. I think if anything it only makes them more upset and harder to deal with. That’s just my thoughts, though, hopefully I’m being pessimistic.
