Thank you for sharing this with us 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@alysdexia]

The most potent greenhouse gas [and shield] is H2O, not CO2, H4C, SO2, NO2, etc. The temperature rate between 1859 and today is identical to the 100,000-year interglacial with warm periods between 4,000 and 20,000 years. AGW is most likely a sham. will -> shall; weird = fateful -> uncanny = bizarre; little bit: pick one. That’s a cross, not crucifix; these Paul-the-antiKrist-quoters are Protestants. Dude means funny dresser, like you. No, Adam and Eve made their own clothes [from fig leaves, from the tree of knowledge]-the sin was that farming led to the death of the first gods (goddles, -elohijm) who needed those trees for themselves. My favorite Tànàc verse is G 6:6 (besides for the beast number allusion, which is nonetheless more accurately 616) where jhveh the failer rued his creation-tho it was really his wife and mother ruakh who made life and motive whereas he made earth and heaven, not that he isn’t a ripoff of Ugaritic -èl. try _what?_ and catch. Where did the plants stay during the flood? The curtains weren’t to be nice < niais < nescius := not-skilled. Everyone is a child; you mean kids or youths. The Hæretic salvation hope is of course bogus: there were 12 stone commandments that sects censor to their 10; one was that jhveh was the Israelites’ (not gentiles’) god and the other was that sin expires in a house after 4 or 5 generations so there was no need for a new covenant/redeemer. Jèsu Nazòræu and Jòannè tès Patmu explicitly withheld salvation from foreigners like Americans. Oh no the wall of call… not “you guys”, you gaf, but “ye”.

"Gigantor" and "Dum-dum" are references to the original Night At The Museum movies. The mini cowboy Jed (Owen Wilson) calls the new night guard Larry (Ben Stiller) "Gigantor," because compared to him, Larry's a giant. And the Easter Island exhibit calls Larry "Dum-dum." Edit: the "slappy teddy bear" is also a reference to the Night At The Museum movies. Dexter, the stuffed/taxidermy monkey, slaps Larry, and Larry slaps him back (it's a running gag in the franchise). Edit 2: the "atheist being mad at God because his mom died of cancer" is a direct reference to the first "God's Not Dead" movie. The antagonist is an atheist professor at a college who lost his faith because his mom died of cancer.

My theory is that many are just intimidated by science.... or they slept through science classes in grade-school.... or both.

[@NZBigfoot]

They dont understand it.. simple as that (but they willfully don't try to understand it, which i guess could be considered dishonest). Them and Flerfs just seem unable to understand what they read... and they will happily hold you to the litteral word of it to disprove anything you try to show to disprove them. Honestly its infuriating, even just listening to them.

No shit. You can’t logic someone out of an emotional hole. It’s a complete waste of time.

[@billfoster6479]

No I think that they get it a lot of them anyway, but they can't handle the idea that they are not the centre of the universe. I believe in God, that is my personal opinion. I also believe in the scientific method, I believe in evolution the expansion of the universe the earth being four billion years old the full works. Too me all these things only make God greater and his works even more expansive. Whereas person's like Ken and the ark experience want to have control over God, to bottle him up and keep him tucked away in a book. And I also use the gender title of him when referring to God. But that is only a convenience, I don't know if God is male or female or neither. Science is the study of nature, God is nature. And so Science is in essence the study of God, in my own humble opinion.

[@AaronReece]

The greatest irony of all is that The Ark Encounter leaks. That's right, even with modern construction techniques, the boat that is supposed to protect all remaining life leaks. But Noah did it with iron age tech.

So god made everything right? And god sees everything right? So how can anyone be out from under god? Unless Nod is in another dimension god can’t access in which case how did cain enter? Genesis says Nod is east of eden so maybe god only has jurisdiction over eden in which case he can’t affect me or you? Cain was supposed to have made a city there, a city out of what people?

[@vforwombat9915]

" not a year with 8 people without real tools and any experience" was it a year? Noah was 500, could be he spent 40 years building that thing. "who in the meantime had to gather a few million creatures" now, as i understand it, the creatures were driven by God to just show up. and they clearly state it was only several thousand. i'm more curious about the animals that only eat specific things, like Koalas, who only eat eucalyptus, or Pandas who only eat bamboo. or anteaters. did the food show up too, or did they have to gather those things? plus, insects, many of who have lifespans less than 40 days. and what about the poor manatees? you can't store a manatee on an ark. not unless you build a tank. but manatees need sea grass to eat to survive, and wout any sun for forty days, there would be none. not to mention that it would all be thousands of feet underwater. these are the questions ppl need to ask creationists. not because it will change their minds, but because it will make their brains overheat trying to come up with answers.

[@stevewebber707]

@@vforwombat9915 I'd say the questions to ask creationists would hinge on what their knowledge base is. Otherwise getting them up to speed on the nitty gritty of animal care, that they might not even trust the source for, might not have the desired impact. That said, if they ever owned a pet, you could say multiply that by 1000 times as much work and issues. On a sealed barge without pet stores. Or running water. Or fresh food available, assuming they didn't sneak some meat eating in when God wasn't looking. No actual list in the bible to hold them accountable after all. As for manatees, Most of these sorts brush aside any issues with aquatic animals and claim they somehow survived outside in the flood. Because manatees would do just fine in a catastrophic flood just because a flood is water right? I get the impression that applying logic isn't a high priority for these folks though. So disproving the flood is likely not something they will pay much heed to.

[@vforwombat9915]

@@stevewebber707 you're right. because i studied genetics, the creationists i encountered were much more prepared for the usual questions. i've been to sites that have advanced pseudoscientific explanations for where all the water came from, for instance. the ones who think they can outargue scientists instead of just insisting they are devil worshippers.

[@stevewebber707]

@@vforwombat9915 It's hard for me to wrap my head around they way folks like that think. But my best guess is they're starting from the premise that their biblical interpretation must be true. And any evidence to the contrary is due to their lack of understanding, or some deception. It makes for a bizarre combination when we have people like Ken Ham that develop some form of models to explain what they think happened. Using some superficially scientific methods. Certainly not enough to be considered actual science, but enough to try and look like science to folks that don't know better. So on one hand they appeal to an authority of science, with pseudoscience stories. Which implies some respect towards the strength of science. And then when presented with any actual science conflicting with their notions, the science isn't so important anymore. Ken Ham somewhat famously admitted in a debate, that was no scientific evidence that would ever convince him to change his mind about the flood. It leaves me wondering if they even know what they're trying to accomplish dabbling in what they may or may not believe to be science. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, and they just grasp at every straw in reach. It bothers me when I hear people claiming nonsense about the flood. I can understand people wanting badly to believe something. But the flood has so many factors conflicting with it's possibility, that when I see people trying to prove it, usually with less than honest methods, it's like a crystallization of the anti science movement. And that in combination with an appeal to what they imply is science, is just bizarre.

Once again, my favorite variety of point and laugh. And your critique of the filmmaking was on point as well. Thanks.

[@alexmurdoch1391]

I love how you have the honesty to keep comments open, while Eric Ham doesn't.

[@capitalwenisberry2052]

6:01 I think that's supposed to be a Carnotaurus, but honestly I wouldn't put it past them to have an actual dragon in their exhibit

[@megallosaurus]

It is a Carnotaurus

I was so sad when I was 7 and my Sunday School teacher told me that the unicorns were too busy playing and missed the boat. :(

[@campfireaddict6417]

I live in a village saturated with churches and christians, one being a good neighbor I feel no tendency to create friction with, but The Ark was mentioned as "somewhere to go" and I couldn't help myself. "Oh yes. Ken Ham. New Zeeland being mostly secular didn't want him so he came to USA." I felt daggers. This is what it was like for people long ago who questioned anything god related. They were targeted, sometimes brought to trial, and their fates could end up being absolutely horrific. I can't come out. It isn't safe.

[@BradGryphonn]

Embarrassing confession. I would sometimes use 'Bradley Hand' in some of the pamphlets and stuff I once produced, just because it had 'Bradley' in the name...

[@pattheplanter]

This is acceptable. The same goes for anybody called Sans who is a comedian.

[@rudeboyjohn3483]

...I want to judge you...but this acceptable.

[@Pooknottin]

That god guy must be very clever. If I knew how to keel a wooden ship that big, I'd have stolen the silver of every church in christendom by now. But, then I am a bit of a viking.

[@leslieshaw1421]

“Bridge of the Enterprise” Love that. Love your content so clever and perceptive. Amazing work mate.

[@thimbur3543]

Question for the Dinos on the Ark folks. Are dinosaurs clean or unclean. Does Leviticus have anything to say on the matter? And if not, why not?

[@j.c.5528]

Wait. WAIT. I genuinely went through four years of undergrad and 4 years of seminary, all focused on biblical studies, and I never ONCE heard that question considered. Amazing!

[@roblovestar9159]

Had to give it a 'like' when the duck quacked "total sh*t"! LOL!

[@mastermarkus5307]

I do think it's pretty hilarious that for Creationists to have a "believably" low number of animals on the ark, they basically had to go like: "Noah just had to have different KINDS which aren't as specific as species, and then... speciation occurred but nOt ThAt MuCh ThAt It'S eVoLuTiOn..."

[@user-ft7fq4ou4v]

I'd have thought they'd say all the dinosaurs died in the flood

[@CRADDSTER]

I also have, and love, an Ember mug. It's hard to explain how awesome it is to always have your coffee at the perfect temperature.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

10:20 And a magic white mug suddenly appears in the background. It's a miracle!

[@inklie]

thank you for just narrating over the movie, both probably to dodge copyright, but more importantly so I don't have to get preached at.

[@TheSscriven]

The construction workers… it feels like a reverse version of the fate of the crews building the second Death Star.

God as Anakin Skywalker: "I killed them. I killed them all. Every single one of them. Not just the men. but the women and the children, too!"

[@thatsmesothere]

The reason the other door is so wide is because thats the side with engineers and scientists. The others are still waiting for god to make their door wider

[@inshadowz]

Emma, if you read this, I totally recommend “Night At The Museum” (and the sequel “Battle of the Smithsonian”). They're absolutely well worth a watch if you haven't seen them already, and even if you're not into them they'll at least show where the (lame) references in the AiG version come from. Go on! Rexie awaits you! 😊

[@EmmaThorneVideos]

I saw them when they came out 10 years ago, remember loving them but it's been wayyy too long

[@richtraube2241]

It's odd how such a patently implausible seafaring myth as Noah's Ark has lasted in two countries with such powerful navies, the US and the UK.

[@RichWoods23]

That's not a myth which is believed much in the UK. Only a couple of percent of people here are regular churchgoers and very few of those belong to biblical literalist churches. Literalism hasn't even been a strong belief throughout the history of Christianity; it's only the fundamentalist revival movement of 120 years ago which led to it having any strength today in the US.

[@richtraube2241]

@@RichWoods23 There are still plenty of religous schools and I would be surprised if the the preschool and elementary levels in the Judeo-Christian tradition don't include the ark in their curricula.

[@DeathEatsCurry]

Funny tidbit. The capacity of the biggest modern cruise ships is around 6750 people, so Noah's Ark was really just a hybrid between a zoo and a cruise ship.

[@c4t4ly5t]

I think this may well have been the most entertaining video you've made yet. Loved it!

[@eyreaus2736]

Wren sounds great. Just saw how we have a cc window of like three years, plus I just saw some vids on Chronicles of Elyria!

[@tommyrobbins839]

Great video as always Emma!

[@onifrk]

Thank you for having the strength to make it through these lol

Eric is the guard you have on staff bc he'll find a way to sue if you fire him

This is going to be fun. This movie is such a fever dream it's not even funny.

'why are all these humans so violent and evil?' - i dunno god, we're only made in your image

I will definitely be watching this tomorrow 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@Neptoid]

Hey that it not a straight up DRAGON! It is carnotaurus. But it is submerged in the shadows and well has golden cups on its horns for fanciness

[@tallyhorizzla3330]

They had to close down the Ark Encounter for a while due to water damage issues. I kid you not.

What's a bit baffling to me is that the Hovinds et al have the funds to run what I will charitably call exhibits, but they apparently don't for hiring experienced people to storyboard, direct, and shoot their promotional movies. Just initial construction, not to mention ongoing operational costs, of one of the exhibits must have cost orders of magnitude more than the sum total of costs surrounding these movies. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time and mental anguish to finish up the review on this series, Emma - solid and entertaining as always.

Up to this day over 900 000 species of insects are *known*. And those are insects alone. To put this in perspective classification of insect is Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Clade: Pancrustacea Subphylum: Hexapoda *Class: Insecta* And each of those branches out and out into bigger tree. In that 1 branch out of many many branches there are over 900 000 *known* species

Dinosaurs on the Ark? Sooooo... Jurassic Ark then? Come on God! You missed a great marketing opportunity there!
