This is somewhat late notice, but there is still plenty of time. Some members of Freethinkers Morgantown are planning a field trip to the creation museum (I think it’s outside of Cincinnati). Here is the notice that I received from Michael Pipkin on Monday (they will be going with PZ Myers):
Claire and I are thinking about attending the Creation Museum field trip with the Secular Student Alliance on August 7th. The event is on a Friday, so it would require taking a day off of work. I want to see if anyone else might be interested in going so we could carpool and share expenses.
PZ Myers will be acting as a “guide” and there will even be a special presentation that day, with one of the AIG “researchers” (I use that term very loosely) giving a lecture in which he will present the “Ultimate Proof of Creation”. Heh.
We are thinking about driving over Thursday evening and spending the night at a local motel so we don’t have to leave ludicrously early Friday morning. It’s about a 5 hour drive. The field trip ends at 3:00, so we would drive back that evening.
There are instructions at the first link above on how to register and get tickets for only $10 (regularly $22).
I think it would be a blast to part of the atheist horde that descends on Ken Ham’s abomination of a museum on that day. If anyone else is interested, you can reply here or send an e-mail directly to me at mpipkin@live.com.
Oh my goodness, it gets even better! On the day the trip is scheduled (Aug 7th), here are some of the events planned for the “museum”:
“It’s Designed to Do What it Does Do Workshop” with Buddy Davis
When:Fri, August 7, 1:30pm – 2:30pm
Where: Creation Museum, 2800 Bullittsburg Church Road, Petersburg, KY 41080
Description: Join Buddy Davis to explore God’s unique design of many different animals. He will show how God should be given the glory instead of time, matter, and chance. In this one hour workshop, you will have fun with several activities including sculpting a Tyrannosaurus Rex head from clay. You will also have the opportunity to sing-along with Buddy, including the ever popular “It’s Designed to Do What it Does Do.” Come learn how God has designed different creatures in unique ways to do what they should do. Gifted by God in many ways, Buddy Davis is a sculptor, speaker, and singer/songwriter for Answers in Genesis. An adventurer and paleo-artist he leads very popular children’s workshops and plays many acoustic instruments. To learn more about Buddy please visit: Buddy. Ticket cost is just $4 with museum admission; a discounted rate is available for Museum members. This workshop is sponsored by Cedarville University.
“The Ultimate Proof of Creation” with Dr. Jason Lisle
When: Fri, August 7, 12pm – 1pm
Where: Creation Museum, 2800 Bullittsburg Church Road, Petersburg, KY 41080
Description: The Ultimate Proof of Creation There is a defense for creation that is powerful, conclusive, and has no true rebuttal. As such, it is an irrefutable argument—an “ultimate proof” of the Christian worldview. This presentation will equip you to engage an unbeliever, even a staunch atheist, using proven techniques. Read more about the accompanying book here: The Ultimate Proof of Creation. Dr. Jason Lisle did graduate work at the University of Colorado where he earned a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics. He grew up in a Christian home, and because his family believed in the authority and accuracy of the Bible, he had little difficulty in dealing with the evolutionary bombardment he received in school. To learn more about Dr. Lisle please visit: Dr. Lisle. This event is free with paid museum admission or Museum membership. Seating is first come first served.
I would love to go, it would be worth it for the laughs. But I can’t make it, and in all honestly it would probably depress me to see all that concentrated ignorance.

I agree, Gerald. I think I’d be on a roller coaster of impotent rage and crushing depression at so much cultivated, concentrated ignorance.
