Noah's Ark Encounter is sinking . . .

Not sure how many of you know that one of Baboon-ou's heroes . . . christian fundamentalist, pseudoscientist and young earth creationist Ken Ham . . . has rebuilt Noah's ark to scale in Williamstown, Kentucky and has turned it into a theme park that he calls the Ark Encounter.

This is not a joke. Here is a link . . . and here's a pic:

Whenever I'm discussing young earth creationists like Baboon-ou and Ken Ham, I always feel the need to explain to people that these delusional and brainwashed morons actually believe that everything in the bible should be taken literally meaning that earth is not 4.5 billion years old as scientists would have us believe, it's actually less than 10 000 years old. This creates a small problem for them because they can't deny the proven existence of dinosaur fossils so they have to incorporate dinosaurs into the Young Earth Fairytale meaning that man and dinosaurs would have co-existed before the Big Flood. Sure as nuts, here's one of the Ark Encounter exhibitions:

You can almost hear that chap in the foreground warning his neighbours that the velociraptor is back!

LMAO!

This also raises the question of why the velociraptors and other dinosaurs missed the boat so to speak and why Noah selected certain species and not others . . . not to mention how he managed to get hold of breedings pairs of arctic foxes, kangaroos, ring-tailed lemurs and jaguars that all happened to be strolling around the deserts near Mount Ararat, but that's another story.

The fact is, there are not nearly as many stupid people in the USA as Ham thought because sales for his Ark Encounter have been rather disappointing and instead of the millions of tourists he promised, only a handful of the most dull-witted christian zealots waste their money visiting the Ark which by all accounts is just plain boring . . . even for bible-bashing half-wits. This is all despite the fact that  Ham managed to use taxpayers funds to build this monstrosity, using tax rebates and government incentives (and only using workers and builders who made declarations of christian faith). You can read more about the "funding" for this "project" here.

Ham is blaming "intolerant atheists" and "fake news" for the financial disaster that is the Ark Encounter. He's sounding like someone else I know. At night, the Ark is lit up by the colours of the rainbow because Ham is trying to take back the rainbow symbol that he says was stolen by the LGBT community. Again, that is not a joke. You can read it here.

I'd like to know from Baboon-ou is he's visited the Ark yet or if he is planning to visit?

Ken Ham the moron who sold the Ark to his church for $10 to avoid paying a million dollars to the local council to contribute to the fire brigade and local services that the Ark encounter relied on only to have it pointed out to the moron that the $18,000,000 in govt tax credits had been cancelled by his actions so he promptly sold it back again for $10. 

The moron is a scam artist with no morals, guess he must be a true christian then.

Christianity is a load of bullshit but Creationist take bullshit to such new heights that they even out do the Mormoms for bat shit crazy nonsense

Check out Paulagia on Youtube, the guy is brilliant at pointing out all the lies and BS that AIG (answers in genesis, Ken Scams scam) continuosly sprout to fleece money from the local retards .

Newton was a fool then?

Believing in a god or religion does not mean you are a fool or stupid about everything it just means you are a fool or stupid about that one thing,

The more science learns the harder it has become for the churchs to convice people that their  bible is just a book written by uneducated superstitious people

Do you think Newton would be a christian if he was alive today, odds are he would not be. Atheist numbers have exploded in the last century and especially since the internet became widely available. 

Shark, I know that...and I've got no problem with that, but there are those...and it's been mention on here more than enough, there are those who think Christians are stupid...what I'm trying to say is that Newton's understanding of science was better than most of the so called scientific atheists if today. He was the father of modern science and yet a believer. I'm not a Bible basher and I can understand people's aversion to religion,  but the consant attacks on religion on this site pisses me off big time...there seems to be no middle ground, no respect for anything off center...and no reasoning at all.... My way or the highway attitude...stuff of the dark ages. Intolerance is wrong, no mater where it comes from.

I do have one question for the believers on here and that is why do religious people fight so hard to stay alive?

If life after death is so much better why do you all so busy trying to stay here. If you actually believed it was true would you not all be getting there as fast as possible? Shouldn't you all be praying for death instead of life, why do christians turn to science to save their lifes when they get sick instead of celibrating like they won the lottery . Why are you sad when family members die, surely you should be happy as they are in a better place now.

Could it be that none of you are actually convinced its true but are just wishing its true?

Sader, why are you trying so hard to convince us that we are wrong?...just leave us in our stupidity. IMO Bible bashers and some aggressive atheists are two sides of the same coin. People telling other people what to believe is always a bad thing, regardless of who is right or wrong.

And I believe there is more to life...a higher purpose than just random chaos...Destiny...and I don't mind being called a fool for it.

Why are you so butt hurt, according to your beliefs I was put here by your god and I am doing what your god wants me to do so therefore me ridculing your beliefs is all part of his plan so you should be happy I am here saying you are stupid.

Well I for one am putting my hand up for saying that because that is what I believe, but that is just my opinion no need to get upset about it. Just prove to me that your god exists and I will believe along with you.

If not be prepared to be ridculed for believing nonsense.

And it not just christians its anyone that believes in gods/fairies/ghosts/demons/satan/santa and the easter bunny among others

I'd rather side with Sir Isaac than you two. Science is a tool, not a religion. Fundamental difference between the 2.

Well Blue. God did actually came down to Earth and He did present Himsef to mankind. How often do you want Hi m to do it?

Sader, if He does not exist,  why are you so angry at Him?

Blue, religion has been corrupted by man, but the truth is there for those prepared to seek it. And I don't mean looking for it in religion...The whole of Creation is a textbook.

PS, I'm not trying to convince anyone...or to propagate my views. I see it as a kind-hearted discussion. If the subject matter or my views offends anyone, I'll remove it and keep my mouth shut....just say the word.

OK, I'll shut up. What do you want me to delete from this th read?
