I hope they have a nice display about how Noah preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sure, it's right there in the Restored Gospel, right?




Bazinga!

I think the park visitors should have to ride that ark out on the high seas with every kind of animal poop x 2.

"I heard the opening was cancelled due to heavy rains."

I would believe that. I live about 200 miles south of it, and we had a hellacious storm this afternoon. Visibility was so bad that interstate traffic was 35 MPH for 20 miles.

It amazes me that in this day and age there are still people

who believe in the story of the ark, and all the other crap

in the bible.

In July 1969 we landed a man on the moon. July 2016 a full size Noah's ark exhibition opens.

We didn't Dennis, seriously.

Use your brain and consider Freemasonic NASA's 45-year hiatus in performances even close to their flawed filming of the farce in 1969 and six sequels.

And watch stuff like --

There are plenty more researchers out there that will convince you...

that the Shriner Jokesters at NASA (the National Academy of Space Actors) really did "moon the Earth".

Are you one of those dreamers who dream that mortals can really travel beyond the magnetic belts of Earth and not end up like fried squid?

Dream on spaceball cadet.

Oh, it's all true. The Moon-trip hoax was so successful that the government faked a Mars landing a few years later as well. That conspiracy is all laid out in the documentary film Capricorn One:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One


The government was so incensed with OJ Simpson for his role in exposing the conspiracy that several years later they framed him for double murder.

Dennis:

Saw a headline in the last couple of days stating that Kubrick's daughter says he was not involved in any fake landing. Did not read the article.

I don't believe it. I know for a fact that she was paid by by NASA to say that. Friend of mine used to work at Johnson Space Center in Houston. He knows stuff that will curl your hair.

"The structure is meant to commemorate the work of Noah, and to stand as a proof that the stories in the Bible are true."

It took teams of people with modern technology 6 years and $100 million dollars to build this thing, but it's supposed to prove that Noah built one all by himself?...and they put dinosaurs on the ark? Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb...

I have a cousin who does bus tours all over the states to various tourist stuff (Grand Canyon, Alaska, Yosemite ETC) and the other day on her tour company FB page she put this Ark with a big happy note that "hey guys...maybe we'll do this one soon." I had to stop myself from saying "SERIOUSLY??" I need to go back and look and see what kind of reaction she got for it.

They ought to have a contest to challenge this, to scale, Ark. Have people build 2 life sized replicas of all the mammals in the world.Then, have teams compete to see how many animals they can fit in the ark. That should be a real eye opener when there are more animals left with boarding passes than there are in the ark.

Discrimination or not, only Christians would want to work there.

Not so.
I'd like to work there. So that I could tell everyone who walks through the door that this $100 million monstrosity is a monument to ignorance, fear, and stupidity -- and that after they get a good laugh at the above, they should head to an actual museum of natural history, and get some facts.

Heck, I'd even do it for free. :)

I thought this article summed it up pretty well.

http://americannewsx.com/hot-off-the-press/christian-ministries-erect-monument-to-mans-stupidity-in-kentucky/


"The Ark Encounter Is A Monument To Man’s Stupidity"


"Obviously to anyone who is not intellectually challenged, there are a lot of other problems with the book of Genesis. For instance, there are about 400,000 known species of beetles on this planet. The sheer volume of 800,000 beetles would take up a third of the Ark by volume but that kind of fact-based logic does not perturb Ken because God can wave his magic wand and undo the laws of physics entirely. Ken had some trouble with that whole logic “thing” when he debated Bill Nye who had some particular observations that perplexed the biblical sages."

I'm always surprised when it gets down to the "God can do anything" argument, that the follow on isn't, "Well then why build an ark in the first place."

When I was a TBM, I asked that question. The answer was that even though god knows all the final outcomes, he has to let you go through it in order to 1) allow your free agency and 2) so you couldn't argue that you would have done it differently. Essentially he's giving you enough rope to hang yourself.

When you believe in magic, you can make yourself believe anything.

Nothing much changes. The power of mythology today seems to be as strong as it was in ancient Egypt.
