To quote Colonel Lingus, head of the Labia party that makes Vulva's (by the way, the new shaved models are awesome, I just took one for a drive), "What kind of a dick would allow this to happen? No dick that I know." Continuing, he said, "Cum on people, don't bring society down by not allowing them to go down. Personally, I have a hard time swallowing this."
One of the problems with this replica is the bulbous bow. The bulbous bow is a modern invention that reduces hydrodynamic drag on modern ships to increase speed and decrease fuel consumption. An ancient ark built thousands of years ago would not have had one. Further, Noah's ark was a non-powered ship; it's purpose was simply to float during the duration of the flood. It had no sails or engines to propel it through the water so why would it need a bulbous bow?
They built an actual replica that follows the exact instructions and measurements for building the “ark” in India a few years ago IIRC. Google it. Believe I saw something about it on Nova and it was a great demonstration how the Bible is not a good instruction manual for anything, really.

When AronRa gets on a roll, it's always disappointing when he gets cut off. He gets to the core and heart of the real problem! So much admiration and respect.
I've been asking but have not yet received any post where does the same thing to Islam. Do you know of any videos of him talking to Muslims about their religion?
Aron Ra is a clever cookie, the more clever you are the more you don't believe in God. The poor mostly in the past would believe anything, not so much now.
Instead of visiting the Ark Encounter, why not support actual science and visit : *Mammoth Cave National Park* : _The largest, most extensive, cave system on Earth!_ 10 million year old caves! 390 million miles have been explored, and more miles are added yearly! It's like visiting an alien planet, with eerie formations, vast chambers of shadow, and crystalline wonders! *Big Bone Lick State Park* : Only 40 miles from the Ark Encounter and it disproves creationism with its awesome displays of Megafauna. Huge Mammoth bones! Mastodons! Ancestors of Horses! And meet some Bison! *Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Resort Park* : A 29,000-acre wonderland of cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and the largest concentration of sandstone arches east of the Rocky Mountains. Natural Bridge is the largest of the park's arches, taking nearly 65 million years to be carved by the raging waters of the Red River! *Kentucky is a beautiful state full of marvelous natural wonders. Don't waste your time and money on the Ark Embarrassment.*
7:15 Sooooo, they had steel hex-head bolts, precision-hewn lumber and steel plates 4,000+ years ago? We should invite Ken Ham to test the Ark's seaworthiness by sailing it back to Australia where he came from!
Mom: "hey kids, we're going on vacation to the ark encounter! " kids: "but we want to go to Disneyland! " Mom: "now now, I'm not paying to take you to a place of make believe"
I invite everyone to read Gilgamesh. It is the oldest story in Western history. It was found carved on a stone wall in the ruins of ancient Sumeria. Why am I mentioning this on a video about a Creationist "museum?" Because the oldest version of the flood story in existence was part of Gilgamesh. And the message of the story is that no one should be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and even the Gods themselves must follow that law.
Even if Ken Ham really believes in what he said, he still managed to achieve a feat previously thought impossible: he single-handedly raised the average IQ of Australia and lowered that of the US, simply by moving to the US. Come to think of it, Ray Comfort did the same but with New Zealand.
ham the sham the flim flam man never uttered one word of truth in his life in fact he is a bigger liar than the bible wake up mug its about money you moron,
Surprisingly enough, when I was a kid (and Christian) my parents would read a kid friendly version of the Bible as a bedtime story. My top 5 favorite stories were The Great Flood, The 10 Plagues, The Parting of the Red Sea, The Golden Calf, and Sodom & Gomorrah. But as I grew up I slowly realized that the Bible doesn’t make any sense and watching the behavior of religious fanatics, reading the actual Bible for myself and comparing events to science and history, and discovering the existence of other religions eventually convinced me to turn away from religion.
I've advocated that Ken Ham should do just that, while he's aboard, and see if he can make the 40 days and nights ...with a live feed so we can all watch his...triumph. That would shut us up. .... wouldn't it? ;P
Tracey kept using the word "Enormity" to describe the Ark. An enormity is not a measure of extreme size, but actually an unforgivable act like rape or murder. How right she is.
Let me get this straight, Kentucky state allowed $18 million of public money to be spent on this monstrosity?!? How does Ken Ham sleep at night knowing he has wasted so much money on this folly?
+Ben Theredonethat How so? Ham has managed to secure public funding on vanity project, money that could have been applied to something of benefit to the citizens of the state. Care to try again with a response, avoiding being, to use your own phrase, as dumb as f**k?
I wish I could remember where I read that the money they put into this farce would buy every homeless person in Kentucky a house and two new cars for what that massive toy box cost.
When this monstrosity fails, (it is only a matter of time), I think they should fill it with fossils and displays of transitional species and make it into a museum about evolution. The irony would be glorious.
You'd think that if Ken had any faith in this project that he would've put the ark on a lake or something. Maybe he knows that he'd end up having a Titanic Encounter instead if he did that.
a theme park, like Disney, Cedar Point, and Six Flags, with rides, roller coasters, and interactive attractions, get repeat visitors per season. The Ark Encounter is more like a museum, with static displays, and few if any, rides, which do not get repeat visitors. It is in the sticks, 30+ miles away from major cities of Lexington and Louisville, with, Cinncinnati, OH, being the closest. The AE biz model is basically unsustainable.
Why do you think so? What evidence do you have? I've heard a lot of evolutionists call creationists liars and charlatans on a fairly frequent basis with no evidence presented to back up those assertions.
@@Tim3shark Don't worry, I've heard of a guy who can do this and still play again... every three days. He only drinks cheap wine, but he never runs out. I'll send him your way if he and I ever "cross" paths. 😉 #joking
I love how Ken Ham blames everybody else for the failure of this thing. The kind of "never my fault" kind of attitude he has now about it. The saddest part about the whole thing, aside from everything mentioned here, is that this thing wouldn't float in case of worldwide flood (or just Kentucky flood)
Also the fact that it is not a true model of the ark, there is a boat-shaped facade attached to a rather average building or buildings. It is true that the ark as described in the bible would not have survived the flood, or even the calmest of seas. Scale model tests have proved that the ark would have broken apart and sank even without the weight of the animals on board. Therefore if the ark story was true, we'd not be here right now and neither would there be plants or animals.
When I started watching and commenting on Athiest videos many years ago, there was always a high number of Religious commentors that would argue their case. You barely ever hear from them anymore. It's a fantastic indication that they are losing the fight and giving up on their ridiculous belief Thank you to all Athiest youtube video makers, for keeping up the good fight.
Ridiculous is the foreign policy this nation has been doing around the world, the number of blacks killing each other, the number of white people committing suicide, the number of young people killing themselves to enjoy the "heaven" they can get through a drug overdose and this nation becoming a debtor nation instead of a creditor nation decades after Bible and prayer were taken out of public school. Ridiculous is how secularists and atheists are having a nation where a president would financially penalize a public school if a boy who woke up today thinking that he is a girl is not allowed into the girl's rest room.
relating Yes you are correct and I totally agree that the leaders of the world are the worst possible people for the job. Having said that though, we are actually living in the best times ever known to humanity. More people around the globe are living happy and healthy and longer lives than people have ever had before at any time in history. This is almost totally because of scientific advances and advances in peoples way of thinking....The abilty to think freely and without persecution. 99% of real scientists are athiest. Creation scientists are NOT scientists! Dinosaurs on the ARK what a Joke. And they want to teach this in schools?!! The worst times for humanity are when religion has been involved. When people were murdered for their new scientific discoveries in the name of religion and all their hard work destroyed. Imagine how much further along we would be without religion holding us back for thousands of years! The muslims wish we were still living back 2000 years ago under the giant thumb of a hideous vengeful god who never says anything and never shows his face. Religion has been taken out of schools because it is all lies and we cannot teach lies to children, and those who wish we could should feel very very ashamed and people like Ken Ham who just do it for profit, should be thrown in prison. There is absolutely No Evidence for there being a god and definitely No Evidence for the creation Myth being true. In fact there is nothing but Evidence against it being true. If you would prefer to live in a world where Gods law stands true, then move to Syria or somewhere equally as unjust and racist and intolerant and see how you like it. The Ridiculous thing is that it's all in the name of a god that clearly doesn't exist! If it has to exist outside of space and time and you can't hear it, see it or touch it, then it surely doesn't exist. Wake up! Do some research on reality
Well it must seriously suck for the residents of Williamstown but just like all other atheists out there, I can't help but to revel at Ken Ham's epic failure.
It would really be interesting if Ken Ham tried to look after, clean, feed and water just 100 pairs of animals with just eight people on his ark. How many days or weeks would it take for it all to turn into utter chaos and how many animals would have died within the first month. Unfortunately this could never happen as he would be locked up for animal cruelty. Thankfully for Noah and God we did not have animal cruelty laws back in the day.
I have a great idea, as soon as it fails, buy it for pennies on the dollar. Then build mount Olympus, Valhalla, and Atlantis on the grounds and re-open as mythtopia. 😎
I have an Idea,... Let's turn the museum into a "THIS IS WHAT MANKIND USED TO BELIEVE IN, COME LOOK HOW RIDICULOUS IT WAS!!" I bet they would make more money than they do know. *: )*
I'm hoping that region experiences a major flood so we can test the seaworthiness of this vessel. Maybe we can finally lay this myth to rest once and for all.
Then you would be trying to test God. So God will let it fail on purpose . Don't believe say that comment to Jen ham and see if he is any different in his answer. Btw religious people will always make excuses to cover up God s short comings
About how impossible it would be to take care of all those animals. I help out at a stables a lot and it takes a lot of work to take care of more than a dozen of horses. Even a hundred "kinds" would be impossible to one family to take care of. And lets not forget how you need to actually know something about the animals you are caring for. How much Noah could have known about all the different "kinds" of animals. And there are animals that today are notorious for how difficult it is to keep them alive in captivity. Yet Noah managed to take care of them all?
How many Americans live in poverty in Kentucky? So this is going to help them? (I live in Europe looking at this...unbelievable...on the other hand...if i see and listen to the Muslims over here, just the same stuff...)
At least you're in a better position to lead them towards more secular values. I'm sure you've heard all about the rise of evangelicals in the states feeding into the far right and the discrediting of science (especially in the food and health industry) in my country. Devout Muslims are going to have a harder time here letting go of their more extreme views. Sorry, I'm not berating you as I am well aware how irritating it can be being confunted with irrational world beliefs regardless of which faith you're hearing it from. I'm just expressing my jealousy. It's hard watching a country you once believed in and still have hope for rotting itself from the inside out from easily dismissed false information but intulectual persuits within the States for whatever reason have never been positions that have been held in high regard so I suppose that it's only natural that that would lead to people more willing to listen to charasmatic daytime talk show hosts rather than a creditable scientist in that field of study.
So you are telling me that a man who were more than 900 y/o built an ark, put two of every animal in it (including insects etc.), fed them and took care of them for 1 year, and then they were able to reproduce without any genetic disorders etc. ? Sounds legit
TheThinkingAtheist I really enjoyed the panel format and would love to see more videos along the same lines please? Having the four guests was entertaining especially as you managed to give the guests almost equal time, no mean feat given the large characters that are Aron and David
Why might a billboard company refuse atheist business? 1. Fear of loss of bigger Christian business. 2. Fear of vandalism. 3. bigotry. 4. wanting to avoid controversy, pickets, death threats...
Great video. I think Aron might have been a little buzzed. 😊 I love that guy. He's brilliant and spot on. I didn't know of Tracey or Dan. Looking forward to looking into them.
When Ken Ham constructed his authentic Noah's Ark, why didn't he go authentic all the way and constructed it with just eight people, four males and four females, and make sure one of them is at least 500 years old, no power tools, no cranes, all wood, and lets see how long it will take them to finish it. And why is Ken Ham doing all his "creative work" in the U.S.A. instead of his native Australia? Is it because Australia is more atheist and they'll kick him out or he believes Americans are more gullible and will easily buy his "creative ideas"?
I cannot tell a lie. Upon seeing my previous comment, I.. I (ashamedly) started doing the hand gestures of said song, though I got confused with the E! When the world finally has it's shit together (got it all together and put it in a box) and we have abandoned all religions, it will become the site of one awesome bonfire!!! >XD
Seriously. How long do you give that place before it becomes an abandoned roadside attraction? I keep looking at that thing and thinking, "That thing, in the long run is not going to be able to make enough money to stay afloat. It's never going to work." Once the initial sensationalism dies down, do they really think this place is going to be a tourist mecca? Really? I'm willing to bet it's not going to be long before we start hearing about it's financial problems.
@BlackburnBigdragon No doubt! No way this thing is sustainable! Just imagine the costs to just maintaining that thing! Fixing something if it breaks. It's constantly exposed to the elements, so this will get expensive! Which, btw, was something they couldn't have fixed on the real ark, if the rain, driftwood and water started to impact the condition of the fucking boat... It's a joke!
Has anyone determined if there were even enough gopherwood trees in the Middle East to actually build a structure this size? Having the enormous forests of Douglas fir in Oregon, Washington and B.C. (and milled in huge lumber mills) in order to build this thing in Kentucky is one thing, but I doubt if there were enough trees in the Middle East to build something a quarter of this size.
Raised Christian, I always had a degree of skepticism regarding religion even when I was young. I never really got *into* it like so many others I grew up with, and in recent years after discovering UA-cam and the skepic community, I'm pretty well about to drop it entirely. I still attend church just because I enjoy the community, but so many of the messages just sound off to me now. Noah's Ark has been a particular sticking point.
I propose the following tactic for debating with eric hovind. Whenever you aks him a question and he responds by changing the subject you slap him across the face with a rolled newspaper. You know, the same method you use for teaching a dog not to jump on the couch.
technically yes, but when you are sitting face to face with him its kinda hard to slap his butt. Also, the slap has to come immidietly after the subjkect change, otherwise he won't remember why he got the slap^^
@@johnny50424 Why mad? Because Allah is going to put you in hell because you believe in the wrong God? Proof YOUR God is the right one... Then please let me know how you can proof with EVIDENCE that your right.
I love the stop-motion video of the Arc being constructed at their official UA-cam page... the truth becomes quite clear when you watch it and imagine poor old Noah and family having a go at it thousands of years ago... :)
Why didn't god just magic up an ark? Why'd Noah have to build it? I know, I know! He ran out of magic fairy dust & couldn't make fuck. Or he could have just killed the 100 people he was pissed off at.
It is pretty simple he needed the building points for something else in the computer game. You can not expect a 6 year old to care for an old pixel guy. He needed all the building points to make an extra big flood to kill all.
No big crowds? No traffic on opening day? Lot was one eighth full? WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO GO ANYWHERE IN GRANT COUNTY? That place is a cesspool of corruptness and failure.
Kentucky probably thought the ark encounter made good business sense. Over 60% of Americans are religious and if each one make a trip over there it would save their financial woes. Unfortunately for them most of the religious are financially limited and also do not follow Ham's denominations.
You totally rock! Especially reining in two powerhouses like Aron Ra and Silverman! I do appreciate what Aron Ra said about brainwashing children. I was one of them. My sister is still in bondage and holds and incredible amount of guilt and shame. I have broken free and am happy with a mind no longer for rent. I get angry responses with questions about talking snakes! My parents are unhappy with my decision to step away from superstition and have cut me out of the will for the most part. I am a member of AA and am happy to have found a Freethinkers meeting. That was a life saver! In the years that I have been involved in AA every story about a "god-shot" that I have heard is extremely narcissistic. Every last one of them. Maybe you could do a show on AA and associated anonymous groups and the atheists that live within them. However, I have found other atheists as of late. I don't know why I suffered in silence for so long, but more of us are showing up. Thanks for your encouragement and the great people you bring to us via your show.
Andrew Jones. Cannot find a free thinkers group where I live in a small GA town. I moved here from PA many years gone, When I meet any one new here the first question asked of me is 'Where do you go to church' I tell them I do not attend church,then poop hits they fan and I am INVITED to their church with a sweet smile,but a look like I am SATAN'S child and their pastor can talk with me after the service, AKA save me 😈 I thank them and of course never show up!!#.
I think that Ken Ham should transport that ark down to the ocean and launch it. Surely that would _prove_ that just such an ark...if Noah had modern materials and tools (ahem)...could float for forty days and forty nights. _Further more_, Ken should show the World the depth of his faith and conviction by spending those forty days and nights out at sea... ...just as Noah did... No radio No lifeboat No flares ...just faith that the Lord wouldn't sink his tribute to _His_ glory...and Ken along with it... ...and a live feed...for the rest of us. Just how strong is Ken's faith?
29:00 Funny that there was a lot of confusion concerning how to get into the "Ark Encounter" and that a whole crew of construction workers with modern equipment couldn't even finish it on time. They can't even manage to build an Ark replica in time for the grand opening or get people in without confusion, but they believe Noah was able to finish a working Ark and get thousands of animals onboard with no problems. LOL!
They should have at least a pool with a mother trying to keep afloat with her baby and she drowns once every 15 minutes because of god. This is what the flood really was about killing people and animals on a grand scale.
@Paul T Sjordal Yes, now they only have two options: 1. Let the thing die as quickly and quietly as possible, and admit that they've made a mistake 2. Try to keep it intact and actually maintaining it. Which will cost millions, won't save it from eventually going down and will just make them look more and more silly. For the state, the first option would be better... but we know how bad people are at admiting mistakes. There are now plenty of people who will HAVE to convince themselves, that they can save it. So, they won't let it die without a very, very expensive fight.
*Considering the design, it won't take much at all to maintain...* Really? Because it is fairly expensive to maintain a regular building of that size... And you're saying maintaining a building made of this unusual material and structure would be LESS? ... Ok. If ya say so.
What I want to know is if this is supposed to be what the ark really would have been, whats with all the metal bolts, joints, and supports those didn't exist back then.
There are two accounts of the animals on the Ark. The most common is the 2 by 2. This account was most likely written by those priest/scribes who didn't practice animal sacrifice, so Noah could get by with that scheme. The other account has clean animals (sacrificial offerings) coming on by 7s so you can make sacrificial offerings and not wipe out the species. Unclean came on by the 2s because no sacrifice needed. So one written by sacrificers and the other by the non sacrificers. I'd guess that many if not most are not aware of the 2 stories. Glad it is failing, sorry Kentuckians got fleeced
It's still BS either way, because no matter which way you spin it they'd still incest themselves into sterility due to genetic drift. And Kent's "kinds only" excuse only makes this worse.
there's also the interpretative linguistic approach some apologist use; by investigate the phraseology and the metanarrative depict in some theory of language, the documents attempt to describe a reality at the time (eschewing the many interlopers transliterations and time between the events...) E-Prime, post-structuralism and modern epistemology (such as objectivity) did not exist in earlier time in the main. writing about writing was rare... the 'world' known then, was a valley from 1 mountain 35 kilometer to the next mountain. 'all the animals in the world' as a phrase, at that time, meant all the animals they could find, in that one valley, in a radius 35 kilometer from the arc. hence, it is only a few hundred animals which embark... however, the theological non-cognitivist does not fall for this, as then there is a gap between the extant claim, and what was claim... as written, and as many apologist opine, it is to be literally, 'all the animal by 2 or by 7s' of the whole round world, not merely all animals the seeker could find in the valley. further, the aramaic for town is also 'ahk'. phonetically, and in script, it resemble the symbol for 'large boat', 'ark'. (ahman-ahk) (ahrrk) (floating township). a 'town-ship', a ship not of the sea, but of the land... in a nautical-lexicon orientated society, perhaps such happen eh? such apologetics is intriguing to see form. it would be a much more plausible literalism. what would a builder of buildings build in emergency, a town, which they build more for 20 years, or a boat, when they have never built one before? more likely, they built a township -an ahk - on high ground. the description is of a moat, around such township as a Klondike or water-diverting approach. Many builder there, also work on cisterns and water-wells/oasis, so may have divert the water to underground storage further. the flooding of a valley would seem, if that was the 'known world', as though the whole world were submerge. yet, it was known then the world was flat... in actuality, it was merely a 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 scale environmental event. it take a few weeks for the water to abate entirely... maybe 3 or 4 days of flooding to the extent describe. to see animals appear, and flee flooding such, that they tolerate each other and seek highground or refuge... it would seem to those prior to animal-behaviorist or philosophy, choice model and science, as 'miraculous', when it is merely a self-preservation instinct in practice. some datas suggest near to those time, a large flood localise to that area. so, such a reduced claim, is plausible. however, if the claim is, not the world known, but the entire globe, there is very little evidence of any genomic effect, or evidence in strata and geotechnical of such a level of water... the earlier extant account claim merely a large number of insect, fish/yabbi and some bird, most of those survive, and a small township which Noah build, was which survive. many others in that valley perish in such prolonged flooding. (a wet season with heavy rain for 40 days and nights, maybe 300mm + of rain). such could be plausible. that account is the least of my reservations with the claims made by some spiritualismes... it is more the codes of conduct impose one rule for some, another for those... bonne chance mon librepenseur!
Now it makes sense. I mean not the arc and the flood story but why one says 2 of all kinds and the others differentiates between the clean and unclean. "Yes kids, we need animals to sacrifice as drowning all humans and all animals in a flood might keep god happy only for a week. Then we need more to sacrifice to him otherwise he gets angry."
+Tom Noble it is abundantly clear that you do not understand any of those disciplines or how to apply them. It's clear that you've never done any science beyond third grade and are only capable of making baseless assertions of the form 'you have no evidence' or 'religion' or throw around terms like "straw man"'(funny that, as it's the creation museum's favourite ploy) It's clear that you are totally clueless about the modern science of genomics - if you were, you would very quickly realise that your 'scientific' position vis a vis the heredity of the Ark is completely untenable. You're obviously too fucking lazy to look anything up, that much is clear. Try and post something that isn't just an assertion.
I heard there was a Pakicetus on the ark. I just thought "WTF? How do you even come up with somthing so dumb, so the ark was built 50 million years ago? " Ken "cause the bible " Ham really out did himself.
I bet he disagrees with plenty of things in said book. Heck, I actually think he's just doing what he does because he doesn't want to catch all the flak from leaving the fans and people he has worked and sided with over the years. I think he knows better by now.
If that flood was true there'd be traces of animal bones non-native around the world. For example, African elephant remains would be found in mountain ranges of Tennessee and Colorado to remains of Grizzly Bears in the Andes mountains in Columbia throughout South America. The Great Lakes would have traces of saline for crying out loud.
Although I am a Christian, I feel that the Ark Encounter is an appalling waste of money. $100 million....it could have been spent for far better things. Imagine,,,100 charities given $1 million each to feed the hungry, build homeless shelters, help refugees....the list is endless.
Not only that, it's how they "teach" children. I would not expect anyone to cooperate with me if I declared "These are the things you have to believe, and you must disregard any contradictory information, only consider additional things that agree with the set I am teaching, or you'll face dire consequences", no matter how correct or incorrect my proposed information is.
We should thank these guys for building that ark. Now people who see that will realize that it would be impossible for four men and four women with no ship building experience to build that thing with primitive tools at that time.
Huh, I actually watched this after Aron Ra's video from the opening and only here did I realize there really were no people around the protesters. Still sad about the wasted money, but if this is what it takes to put a huge nail in the coffin of religion, I guess it has its merits.

*Mammoth Cave National Park* : _The largest, most extensive, cave system on Earth!_ 10 million year old caves! 390 million miles have been explored, and more miles are added yearly! It's like visiting an alien planet, with eerie formations, vast chambers of shadow, and crystalline wonders!
*Big Bone Lick State Park* : Only 40 miles from the Ark Encounter and it disproves creationism with its awesome displays of Megafauna. Huge Mammoth bones! Mastodons! Ancestors of Horses! And meet some Bison!
*Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Resort Park* : A 29,000-acre wonderland of cliffs, caves, waterfalls, and the largest concentration of sandstone arches east of the Rocky Mountains. Natural Bridge is the largest of the park's arches, taking nearly 65 million years to be carved by the raging waters of the Red River!
*Kentucky is a beautiful state full of marvelous natural wonders. Don't waste your time and money on the Ark Embarrassment.*
My mother's been to Mammoth Cave; she said it was magnificent.
@@jenniferbrewer5370 I went last year. Its definitely worth a visit.
Excellent comment. Kentucky's natural wonders are magnificent. Bypass this monument to ignorance and go see some real, staggeringly beautiful sights.

Ken Ham is like so many religious figures. He is using the faithful to achieve personal monetary wealth.
Yup its like they put satan on a pedastole and completely ignore jesus's teachings altogether
I invite everyone to read Gilgamesh. It is the oldest story in Western history. It was found carved on a stone wall in the ruins of ancient Sumeria. Why am I mentioning this on a video about a Creationist "museum?" Because the oldest version of the flood story in existence was part of Gilgamesh. And the message of the story is that no one should be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and even the Gods themselves must follow that law.
Even if Ken Ham really believes in what he said, he still managed to achieve a feat previously thought impossible: he single-handedly raised the average IQ of Australia and lowered that of the US, simply by moving to the US. Come to think of it, Ray Comfort did the same but with New Zealand.

Surprisingly enough, when I was a kid (and Christian) my parents would read a kid friendly version of the Bible as a bedtime story. My top 5 favorite stories were The Great Flood, The 10 Plagues, The Parting of the Red Sea, The Golden Calf, and Sodom & Gomorrah.
But as I grew up I slowly realized that the Bible doesn’t make any sense and watching the behavior of religious fanatics, reading the actual Bible for myself and comparing events to science and history, and discovering the existence of other religions eventually convinced me to turn away from religion.

I wish I could remember where I read that the money they put into this farce would buy every homeless person in Kentucky a house and two new cars for what that massive toy box cost.
Seth, you are an amazing host. Very well done.
When this monstrosity fails, (it is only a matter of time), I think they should fill it with fossils and displays of transitional species and make it into a museum about evolution. The irony would be glorious.
You'd think that if Ken had any faith in this project that he would've put the ark on a lake or something. Maybe he knows that he'd end up having a Titanic Encounter instead if he did that.
I wonder if Ken Ham's next project will be a "Lot and his daughters" _encounter_.
Wouldn't put it past him.
I wonder if his next project will be drowning mother trying to hold up baby in the flood.
The possibilities are endless...(sigh)...

a theme park, like Disney, Cedar Point, and Six Flags, with rides, roller coasters, and interactive attractions, get repeat visitors per season. The Ark Encounter is more like a museum, with static displays, and few if any, rides, which do not get repeat visitors. It is in the sticks, 30+ miles away from major cities of Lexington and Louisville, with, Cinncinnati, OH, being the closest. The AE biz model is basically unsustainable.

I thought ark encounter was some internet meme joke thing...terrifying that tax dollars went to this...
I love how Ken Ham blames everybody else for the failure of this thing. The kind of "never my fault" kind of attitude he has now about it. The saddest part about the whole thing, aside from everything mentioned here, is that this thing wouldn't float in case of worldwide flood (or just Kentucky flood)
Also the fact that it is not a true model of the ark, there is a boat-shaped facade attached to a rather average building or buildings. It is true that the ark as described in the bible would not have survived the flood, or even the calmest of seas. Scale model tests have proved that the ark would have broken apart and sank even without the weight of the animals on board. Therefore if the ark story was true, we'd not be here right now and neither would there be plants or animals.

When I started watching and commenting on Athiest videos many years ago, there was always a high number of Religious commentors that would argue their case. You barely ever hear from them anymore. It's a fantastic indication that they are losing the fight and giving up on their ridiculous belief
Thank you to all Athiest youtube video makers, for keeping up the good fight.
As a fairly intelligent person I'm embarrassed on your behalf Mr. Ham. Your steadfast belief in this ridiculous story is....well embarrassing.
Move on. This isn't Ken Ham. It's an imposter account looking to generate traffic.
Just read my post above
Ridiculous is the foreign policy this nation has been doing around the world, the number of blacks killing each other, the number of white people committing suicide, the number of young people killing themselves to enjoy the "heaven" they can get through a drug overdose and this nation becoming a debtor nation instead of a creditor nation decades after Bible and prayer were taken out of public school. Ridiculous is how secularists and atheists are having a nation where a president would financially penalize a public school if a boy who woke up today thinking that he is a girl is not allowed into the girl's rest room.
relating
Yes you are correct and I totally agree that the leaders of the world are the worst possible people for the job.
Having said that though, we are actually living in the best times ever known to humanity. More people around the globe are living happy and healthy and longer lives than people have ever had before at any time in history.
This is almost totally because of scientific advances and advances in peoples way of thinking....The abilty to think freely and without persecution.
99% of real scientists are athiest.
Creation scientists are NOT scientists!
Dinosaurs on the ARK what a Joke.
And they want to teach this in schools?!!
The worst times for humanity are when religion has been involved. When people were murdered for their new scientific discoveries in the name of religion and all their hard work destroyed.
Imagine how much further along we would be without religion holding us back for thousands of years!
The muslims wish we were still living back 2000 years ago under the giant thumb of a hideous vengeful god who never says anything and never shows his face.
Religion has been taken out of schools because it is all lies and we cannot teach lies to children, and those who wish we could should feel very very ashamed and people like Ken Ham who just do it for profit, should be thrown in prison.
There is absolutely No Evidence for there being a god and definitely No Evidence for the creation Myth being true. In fact there is nothing but Evidence against it being true.
If you would prefer to live in a world where Gods law stands true, then move to Syria or somewhere equally as unjust and racist and intolerant and see how you like it.
The Ridiculous thing is that it's all in the name of a god that clearly doesn't exist!
If it has to exist outside of space and time and you can't hear it, see it or touch it, then it surely doesn't exist.

The Ark Experience has recently made an insurance claim for water damage... You couldn't make this shit up if you tried.
It would really be interesting if Ken Ham tried to look after, clean, feed and water just
100 pairs of animals with just eight people on his ark. How many days or weeks would
it take for it all to turn into utter chaos and how many animals would have died within the first month. Unfortunately this could never happen as he would be locked up for animal cruelty.
Thankfully for Noah and God we did not have animal cruelty laws back in the day.

About how impossible it would be to take care of all those animals. I help out at a stables a lot and it takes a lot of work to take care of more than a dozen of horses. Even a hundred "kinds" would be impossible to one family to take care of. And lets not forget how you need to actually know something about the animals you are caring for. How much Noah could have known about all the different "kinds" of animals. And there are animals that today are notorious for how difficult it is to keep them alive in captivity. Yet Noah managed to take care of them all?

I'm sure you've heard all about the rise of evangelicals in the states feeding into the far right and the discrediting of science (especially in the food and health industry) in my country. Devout Muslims are going to have a harder time here letting go of their more extreme views. Sorry, I'm not berating you as I am well aware how irritating it can be being confunted with irrational world beliefs regardless of which faith you're hearing it from. I'm just expressing my jealousy. It's hard watching a country you once believed in and still have hope for rotting itself from the inside out from easily dismissed false information but intulectual persuits within the States for whatever reason have never been positions that have been held in high regard so I suppose that it's only natural that that would lead to people more willing to listen to charasmatic daytime talk show hosts rather than a creditable scientist in that field of study.

And why is Ken Ham doing all his "creative work" in the U.S.A. instead of his native Australia? Is it because Australia is more atheist and they'll kick him out or he believes Americans are more gullible and will easily buy his "creative ideas"?

Surely that would _prove_ that just such an ark...if Noah had modern materials and tools (ahem)...could float for forty days and forty nights.
_Further more_, Ken should show the World the depth of his faith and conviction by spending those forty days and nights out at sea...
...just as Noah did...
No radio
No lifeboat
No flares
...just faith that the Lord wouldn't sink his tribute to _His_ glory...and Ken along with it...
...and a live feed...for the rest of us.

They can't even manage to build an Ark replica in time for the grand opening or get people in without confusion, but they believe Noah was able to finish a working Ark and get thousands of animals onboard with no problems. LOL!
Please address the issue of the fact that there is one enormous piece missing from this exhibit. Where are all of the billions of dead people?
This is Christian cherry picking on a grand scale.
They should have at least a pool with a mother trying to keep afloat with her baby and she drowns once every 15 minutes because of god. This is what the flood really was about killing people and animals on a grand scale.
I hope the state of Kentucky wastes millions trying to keep that thing afloat. That way, they can stand as an object lesson to others.
I hope it doesnt lol i live in KY too many fundies already wasting resources here
"Afloat," huh? Hmmm... an interesting choice of word, I'm thinking.
@Paul T Sjordal
Yes, now they only have two options:
1. Let the thing die as quickly and quietly as possible, and admit that they've made a mistake
2. Try to keep it intact and actually maintaining it. Which will cost millions, won't save it from eventually going down and will just make them look more and more silly.
For the state, the first option would be better... but we know how bad people are at admiting mistakes. There are now plenty of people who will HAVE to convince themselves, that they can save it. So, they won't let it die without a very, very expensive fight.
*Considering the design, it won't take much at all to maintain...*
Really?
Because it is fairly expensive to maintain a regular building of that size...
And you're saying maintaining a building made of this unusual material and structure would be LESS?
...
Ok. If ya say so.
I've never seen a conference call video like this wth such high quality from every single participant. Wow.
What will evolution deniers say when chihuahuas and great danes evolve past being the same "kind" of animal
What I want to know is if this is supposed to be what the ark really would have been, whats with all the metal bolts, joints, and supports those didn't exist back then.
Think of the amount of charity work that could have been done with that amount of money. That monstrosity is sickening.
There are two accounts of the animals on the Ark. The most common is the 2 by 2. This account was most likely written by those priest/scribes who didn't practice animal sacrifice, so Noah could get by with that scheme. The other account has clean animals (sacrificial offerings) coming on by 7s so you can make sacrificial offerings and not wipe out the species. Unclean came on by the 2s because no sacrifice needed. So one written by sacrificers and the other by the non sacrificers. I'd guess that many if not most are not aware of the 2 stories. Glad it is failing, sorry Kentuckians got fleeced
It's still BS either way, because no matter which way you spin it they'd still incest themselves into sterility due to genetic drift.
And Kent's "kinds only" excuse only makes this worse.
there's also the interpretative linguistic approach some apologist use;
by investigate the phraseology and the metanarrative depict in some theory of language,
the documents attempt to describe a reality at the time (eschewing the many interlopers
transliterations and time between the events...)
E-Prime, post-structuralism and modern epistemology (such as objectivity)
did not exist in earlier time in the main.
writing about writing was rare...
the 'world' known then, was a valley from 1 mountain 35 kilometer to the next mountain.
'all the animals in the world' as a phrase,
at that time,
meant all the animals they could find, in that one valley,
in a radius 35 kilometer from the arc.
hence, it is only a few hundred animals which embark...
however, the theological non-cognitivist does not fall for this,
as then there is a gap between the extant claim, and what was claim...
as written, and as many apologist opine,
it is to be literally,
'all the animal by 2 or by 7s' of the whole round world,
not merely all animals the seeker could find in the valley.
further, the aramaic for town is also
'ahk'. phonetically, and in script, it resemble the symbol for 'large boat', 'ark'. (ahman-ahk) (ahrrk)
(floating township).
a 'town-ship', a ship not of the sea, but of the land...
in a nautical-lexicon orientated society, perhaps such happen eh?
such apologetics is intriguing to see form.
it would be a much more plausible literalism.
what would a builder of buildings build in emergency,
a town, which they build more for 20 years,
or a boat, when they have never built one before?
more likely,
they built a township -an ahk - on high ground.
the description is of a moat, around such township
as a Klondike or water-diverting approach.
Many builder there,
also work on cisterns and water-wells/oasis,
so may have divert the water to underground storage further.
the flooding of a valley would seem, if that was the 'known world',
as though the whole world were submerge.
yet, it was known then the world was flat...
in actuality,
it was merely a 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 scale
environmental event.
it take a few weeks for the water to abate entirely...
maybe 3 or 4 days of flooding to the extent describe.
to see animals appear, and flee flooding such,
that they tolerate each other and seek highground or refuge...
it would seem to those prior to animal-behaviorist or philosophy,
choice model and science,
as 'miraculous', when it is merely a self-preservation instinct in practice.
some datas suggest near to those time,
a large flood localise to that area.
so, such a reduced claim, is plausible.
however, if the claim is,
not the world known, but the entire globe,
there is very little evidence of any genomic effect,
or evidence in strata and geotechnical
of such a level of water...
the earlier extant account
claim merely a large number
of insect, fish/yabbi and some bird,
most of those survive, and a small township
which Noah build,
was which survive.
many others in that valley perish in such prolonged flooding.
(a wet season with heavy rain for 40 days and nights,
maybe 300mm + of rain).
such could be plausible.
that account is the least of my reservations
with the claims made by some spiritualismes...
it is more the codes of conduct impose
one rule for some, another for those...
bonne chance mon librepenseur!
Isn't it so that he had to take 2 of every "kind" of unclean animals, AND 7 of the clean animals?
Now it makes sense. I mean not the arc and the flood story but why one says 2 of all kinds and the others differentiates between the clean and unclean. "Yes kids, we need animals to sacrifice as drowning all humans and all animals in a flood might keep god happy only for a week. Then we need more to sacrifice to him otherwise he gets angry."
+Tom Noble it is abundantly clear that you do not understand any of those disciplines or how to apply them. It's clear that you've never done any science beyond third grade and are only capable of making baseless assertions of the form 'you have no evidence' or 'religion' or throw around terms like "straw man"'(funny that, as it's the creation museum's favourite ploy) It's clear that you are totally clueless about the modern science of genomics - if you were, you would very quickly realise that your 'scientific' position vis a vis the heredity of the Ark is completely untenable. You're obviously too fucking lazy to look anything up, that much is clear. Try and post something that isn't just an assertion.
Where is the Hitch when you need him ?!
Ken ham convinced me 100% I have a couple questions. If all the animals on the ark were vegetarians; when did they sin and become meat eaters?
They just need Fairies & Leprechaun on the Ark to make it real...
I heard there was a Pakicetus on the ark. I just thought "WTF? How do you even come up with somthing so dumb, so the ark was built 50 million years ago? " Ken "cause the bible " Ham really out did himself.
I bet he disagrees with plenty of things in said book. Heck, I actually think he's just doing what he does because he doesn't want to catch all the flak from leaving the fans and people he has worked and sided with over the years. I think he knows better by now.
If that flood was true there'd be traces of animal bones non-native around the world. For example, African elephant remains would be found in mountain ranges of Tennessee and Colorado to remains of Grizzly Bears in the Andes mountains in Columbia throughout South America. The Great Lakes would have traces of saline for crying out loud.
10 plaugues roller coaster? River of blood actually sounds more like a log ride.
What a marvelous voice Seth has.
"He asked me if I beat my wife".. the proper response is "Hell no, what do you think I am.. a Christian?"
Although I am a Christian, I feel that the Ark Encounter is an appalling waste of money. $100 million....it could have been spent for far better things. Imagine,,,100 charities given $1 million each to feed the hungry, build homeless shelters, help refugees....the list is endless.
Not only that, it's how they "teach" children. I would not expect anyone to cooperate with me if I declared "These are the things you have to believe, and you must disregard any contradictory information, only consider additional things that agree with the set I am teaching, or you'll face dire consequences",
no matter how correct or incorrect my proposed information is.
i want to see Richard Dawkins debate Ken Ham
He's got better things to do.
We should thank these guys for building that ark. Now people who see that will realize that it would be impossible for four men and four women with no ship building experience to build that thing with primitive tools at that time.
Just curious about how many fish Noah put in the ark.......
Alex Soto and parasites!
Huh, I actually watched this after Aron Ra's video from the opening and only here did I realize there really were no people around the protesters. Still sad about the wasted money, but if this is what it takes to put a huge nail in the coffin of religion, I guess it has its merits.
Nature moves in mysterious ways.
Tax churches
So as we all predicted... The boat.... could NOT float xD
