The Cretin Museum has a chapel.  So after your visit, just nip in there and help yourself to $20 when they pass the plate. The point was that I don't want to give my $20 to AiG.  Getting my $20 back wouldn't assuage my guilt at giving money to those snake oil salesmen. Would stealing $40 help? Only if it came from AiG.

If they phrased the question differently and more honestly: "Kids, do you want to use scientific method, rational thought and observable evidence or an acient often contradictory document?" I know most of you readying this board already said this to yourself, but I just had to say it out loud.

After learning about his activities Thursday, the Creation Museum in Kentucky pulled the 40-second video in which he appears.
