madrobinsSo there you are, a paleontologist from somewhere on the globe, in Cinncinnati for the North American Paleontological Convention. And one of your colleagues thoughtfully arranges an optional fieldtrip to the Creation Science Museum in nearby Petersburg, KY. And, because you're broadminded and a good scout, you go.
Even beyond the comments in the NY Times's article, I just keep writing scripts in my head for the repetitive brain-explosion moments these folk must have undergone. The girl feeding a carrot to a squirrel while watched by dinosaurs is particularly a lovely image--although in my head the girl wears a 1950s full-skirted dress, saddle shoes, and pig-tails, rather than the Biblical robes they've probably got her tricked out in. But maybe not. If you can have brachiosaurs watching squirrels, why not dress the humans in dirndls and saddle shoes?
These guys are good sports, I'll say that for them.
