Like many empirical types, they just wanted to see the place with their own eyes. After they paid their admission and were walking in with the large crowd of mostly families, security guards pulled them aside and told them they wanted to take their photographs. What for? They smiled and said the museum just liked to have pictures of all the various "types" of folks who visit. The friends went along with it, although they knew something was up as the guards didn't make the same request of any of the family types sweeping in. Instead of a friendly snapshot, though, all three were photographed mug-shot style, one close-up face shot and then one from the side! They weren't harassed again, but certainly felt as though they couldn't appear to even be amused by anything in the museum or they would be tossed out. They spent the next two hours being horrified by one inane exhibit after another, and he said when they left they actually felt numb from it all. I wonder why no one in the media is monitoring how the Creation Museum treats its visitors and reveal these chilling tactics. Thanks for this website. I surfed here and I've been reading everything.
