If you really want to have a laugh, just go into a natural science museum, and wait to join a group tour. Then start asking about each fossil... watch them go ballistic. They don’t know how to handle it. They are totally unprepared for original thinking or questions about their evolutionary models.

Oooooh - trolls 3D!

I thought that too. Not to mention they'd lose their job if they failed to kiss public ass and had a complaint about them.
At the science museum where I volunter, we are told the visitors are "guests," and to treat them as we would guests in our own homes. When a woman (with a school chaperone ID) made a comment to me in the human body and evolution area that, "It doesn't say anywhare that it's only a theory," I just politely let it go, rather than start a screaming fight. Others will learn from it, she was determined not to, and I wouldn't pick a fight with a visitor to my home. Another staff member told me about directing a father and his kids to the fossils that the kids might like seeing. The father, who was home-schooling the youngsters, replied, "We don't believe in dinosaurs." The only way to handle that without a scene is to drop it right there.

"We don't believe in dinosaurs."
I read that and my blood started boiling. I felt my jaws de-hinge, me head fell back and an unearthly bellow permeated from my chest as a series of ignorance-feeding squid-like tentacles erupted from my throat, lashing out like a powerful behemoth to destroy every last creationist on Earth.
... yeah, that's about how reading that statement made me feel.
Yup. Harass the people who know just enough to bluff a hair beyond the script they're given. The ones who if they start getting an edge on you, you just talk to the powers that be, and complain about the insolent whelp that dared to talk back to you. Big man.
You wanna have fun? Talk to the scientists. You know, the ones who actually walk the walk?
Actually, I was once in a group visiting a science museum, when suddenly a fundie in our group started to go nuts, trying to trip the poor tour guide with trick questions.
The problem wasn't handled by the tour guide (who was a student, working in this job to make ends meet), but by the other visitors. Some of the visitors were quite educated in science. Gosh, the poor fundie got into really hot waters ... *evilgrin*
Because tour guides have a prepared script and time limitations and YOU FUCKING WELL KNOW THAT. This is just one of the many ridiculous creationist STUNTS that only impress the dimwitted indoctrinated Fundies.
Why don't you try asking Hams people at the Creationists Museum why they lie about scientific consensus, why they can never describe anything correctly about scientific explanations. You wanna see someone lose it and get escorted out by security that's the place you'll see it.
Rapture Ready. How surprising.
Maybe if you didn't repeat debunked ideas and flawed questions, scientists and anyone with knowledge on the subject would be happy to debate you?
If you really want to have a laugh, just go into a "creation science" museum, and wait to join a group tour. Then start asking about each fossil... watch them go ballistic.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
