One thing that always struck me as odd about the whole idea of bringing two of every kind is; did he bring every kind and subspecies of every animal? Like the birds have 18000 species, what about dogs? Or did he just bring a pair of every kind? Out of all the animals its estimated that there are around 8.7 million species. How do you continue a bloodline with just one pair of something? Who are their offspring going to mate with? Themselves? How did the whole earth flood? There isn't enough water to cover the entire earth, even if all ice melts, it wont be enough to cover the entire earth. _And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created_ What about all the life in the oceans? Where they also to drown? Or maybe he wasn't responsible for the life in the oceans. I cant understand how anyone could have believed this and how some still do.

[@psychomd1939]

Let's try a little math. To cover the entire Earth with rain in 40 days would require an average of approximately 30 feet of rain per hour. This is not in one place but over the entire planet simultaneously for the entire 40 days. This is far more than the entire amount of water in the oceans, aquifers and clouds. There is not only the question of where that much water came from but also where it drained off to. Rain comes from the clouds. The clouds would have to have been at least a few dozen miles thick. The weight of that much extra water would have caused severe alterations in the behavior of the Earth's rotation speed and its orbit; not to mention that of the moon. With about one and a half million species already named and possibly that many more unnamed and the feed and excrement requirements, the Ark would need to be of a size that rivaled at least one Kentucky county. No ventilation for at least 40 days and no sunlight penetrating that cloud cover, the growing of food on board is ludicrous. Also. with all of the arable land having been submerged for more than a year, it being able to produce any appreciable amount of produce during Noah's remaining lifetime is problematic. It takes more than faith to believe such nonsense. It takes monumental gullibility and stupidity. One final consideration. The Tower of Babble story which sent at least a few million people out of town to populate all of the other existing cities just in just 3 generations after the Flood beggars the limits of homo sapien fertility. The maternity wards must have been overwhelmed. No, one more point. There must have been enough pregnant women at the time of the Flood for God to qualify as the all-time greatest abortionist. But that's another story.

Really… you truly believe that the Bible is just a bunch of made-up, mythological stories??? That’s odd… because it’s the only book in all of history that contains over 300 prophecies that have already come true… along with dozens of other prophecies that are on the verge of coming true. How did that happen??? The people who wrote this book almost 4,000 years ago… what… were they the luckiest “guessers” who ever lived??? They were somehow able to guess (with 100% accuracy) that these things were gonna happen??? That doesn’t make sense. Someone (GOD) had to have inspired these writers to know these things would come true! As for whether or not Noah’s Ark ever existed… there’s a funny/curious thing written about it in the Bible. The exact dimensions for the ark (written roughly 4,000 years ago)… they are precise for what scientists of today believe. Scientists: Noah's Ark Would Have Floated With 70,000 Animals If Built By Dimensions In The Bible: "Noah" Paramount Pictures Scientists at the University of Leicester have discovered that Noah's Ark could have carried 70,000 animals without sinking if built from the dimensions listed in The Bible. Noah's Ark would have floated even with two of every animal in the world packed inside, scientists have calculated. Although researchers are unsure if all the creatures could have squeezed into the huge boat, they are confident it would have handled the weight of 70,000 creatures without sinking. A group of master's students from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Leicester University studied the exact dimensions of the Ark, set out in Genesis 6:13-22. According to The Bible, God instructed Noah to build a boat which was 300 cubits long 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high - recommending gopher wood for the enormous lifeboat. The students averaged out the Egyptian and Hebrew cubit measurement to come up with 48.2cm, making the Ark around 144 meters long . Using the dimensions, the Archimedes principal of buoyancy and approximate animal rights they were astonished to find out that the Ark would have floated. Student Benjamin Jordan, 21, from Bury St Edmonds, said: "Using the dimensions of the Ark and the density of the water, we were able to calculate its buoyancy force, which, according to Archimedes' principle, is equal to the weight of the volume of fluid the object displaces. "This meant we were then able to estimate the total mass the Ark could support before the gravitational weight would overcome the buoyancy force, causing the Ark to sink." Previous research has suggested that there were approximately 35,000 species of animals which would have needed to be saved by Noah, enabling the students to conclude that the dimensions given in the Bible would have allowed Noah to build an ark that would float with all of the animals on board. The students had to swap gopher wood for cypress wood, as Biblical experts continue to speculate as to what gopher wood might be. Some think it may just mean plain timber. Dr. Thomas Morris, from Chelmsford, said: "You don't think of the Bible necessarily as a scientifically accurate source of information, so I guess we were quite surprised when we discovered it would work. Wow!!! I wonder how those “fiction writers” were able to guess those exact dimensions for the Ark??? Oh well… I guess some people are just plain lucky.

So you want to put down the bible, right? You know best? But say we are just evolved from some goo... Well, how do two pieces of goo simultaneously evolve male in one goo, and female in the other? And how do they evolve simultaneously at the same rate, so that they both have the exact amount of progression, so that their sexual contact would even produce anything? Because easily one could have evolved much slower than the other, and then nothing would result - if this had occurred at all... But you're saying it did, uhm, just because! How do they find each other and know what to do with one another? How would they even have the intellect to think they needed to do anything? Or do you say there must have been a source goo, and the source goo developed the ability to produce male and female all by it's own deciding to, and then once it did, it died, and the male and female goo it produced were randomly able to know what to do from then on... The source goo had the intellect by chance to give the male and female goo their needed parts to then reproduce male or female between them....? You put your faith in that idea though, that goo just becomes smart enough, and a "long period of time" is good enough to explain ANYTHING apparently ... So how much faith does it take to believe that? You want to talk about fiction and fairy tales? Well you definitely have an explanation on that level.

Noah's ark, along with every single other old testament biblical story, is 100% just that, a story. The entire old testament was a collection of old Mesopotamian stories passed down across many thousands of years, that exist NOT as historical recount of what happened, but to teach complex morals etc. The people who carried these ancient stories down knew that they weren't real, they knew that they were nothing more than mythical life lessons.

On his website Ken Ham claims his Ark is supposed to weather to a pleasing (his words not mine) silver-gray color. (It just looks gray to me.) They started the planking in the middle and worked their way outward which is why it hasn't weathered evenly, but it will eventually have a nice consistent rotted; I mean weathered, appearance. The wood has been treated (with the Accoya process, whatever that is) and is guaranteed to be insect resistant and should last 50 years. They didn't put stain on the wood because of the cost, an estimated $250,000, and it would have needed to be reapplied every four to six years. That concern for cost saving makes me wonder who pocketed the money that was wasted, I mean invested, in this fraudulent, I mean educational, facility.

Okay, forget the implied incest... Has anyone did the math 2 of each animal, thats approximately 2 million 6 thousand, without the dinosaurs, just off the top of my head, it would be the biggest structure "ever" till the end of human history!

[@Nocturnalux]

I cannot help but feel happy at how empty and desolate it looks.

[@AtimatikArmy]

Why would you wish in such evil? Why are you even so concerned? If it's not your deal, then so be it, focus on your beliefs. That's what I find so interesting, is why Atheists are so focused on something they don't believe. Fact is God can't be proven or disproven. You just have your "beliefs" just like the other side has their "beliefs". Humans certainly don't know what is really going on in the big picture... not a clue.

[@mightydegu]

$40 to walk through this turd? Wow!

[@Shake69ification]

The best thing about spending money there is that a small portion of it will go back to the poor Kentuckians who had to help fund this monstrosity.

[@Shake69ification]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just saw this other video which explained all that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOTgZhsarp6ars

[@marcweeks9178]

And don't forget to add what is no doubt an exorbitant cost of food in their cafeteria. Cha-ching!

[@VegasMarcMarc]

And from my understanding they don't even include the Sexy-Time-Tent (STT) where Ham and Noah got drunk and then did the boomchickawowwow.

[@LarsOlaArvidsson]

I would like to build a "the giant Flying Spaghetti Monster encounter" right next to it. I wonder who would have more visitors.

[@zenman5910]

"If I can convince you that the flood was not real, then I can convince you that heaven and hell was not real" ... I had to take several minutes to let it sink in that they actually put that up. The comedic irony and total lack of self awareness it took to put that up blew a fuse in my brain that protects the gullibility restraint system.

[@kensmith7921]

When this place goes bankrupt It will make a great ATHEIST amusement park.

[@slowlearnerschessclub7983]

Ken Smith, How about when this earth fall's apart. This would be a good place to get right with God.

[@TheBiostacle]

Ken Smith or a great Casino 😬

[@johneshuis1215]

A whorehouse!

[@dagnabbit6187]

I am a white boy with Germanic genes . I want my mythology park to be a beer hall with big titty blond women serving us as we get drunk and sing bawdy songs . It will be called the Valhalla Encounter !

[@LetruneInedil]

Dag Nabbit If it has the same fun for women, count me in. :3

[@captainfoambeard2846]

A shame you didn't visit the section of the boat where Noah preserved magic mushrooms, coca leaves and marihuana. It must have been on it.

[@danieldell6164]

*marijuana

[@jamesturpin9091]

Explains how Noah got all that shit done. He was high on cocaine.

[@bradleyeric14]

Where are the suites of rooms for the half a million species of beetle? Fundie Christians hate beetles. I blame Lenin.

[@richardwebb2348]

My favorite biblical story is the Ark Encounter company suing their insurance company for damage to the Ark by RAIN.

[@richardbello5732]

It could be used as a prison or a homeless shelter 🤣

[@thisislaflaretv5250]

It's already a prison. It's a mental prison

[@RustyPawz]

Why not both.

[@anthenyainyaoebassanyenius6035]

@Gabriel Robinson a boat lol? Ye it's a small boat which I use for my kids in the public pool, wow and it's so cheap! So useful wow :0

[@Jhinthewolf]

@Gabriel Robinson not really cause you gonna wait for it to become wood, trees don't grow that quickly.

[@anthenyainyaoebassanyenius6035]

@@imvandenh it would be rather better if the wood will be used for building something else useful. XD since burning it doesn't burn their ignorance ,just some more greenhouse gases.

I'd pay with a credit card, and dispute the charges.

Wonder if you could screw with their computer and get the cost negative?

[@davidmarzolino7159]

Dispute it as fraud.

[@Hoplasa]

"he paid for a tour of a museum, but was lied to instead" im sure it is not illigal to refuse to pay for what was promised lol

[@AverageAlien]

how are ya jim?

what a pleasant surprise

[@dubulaonoh]

Colossal waste of funds. This shit would sell so good in Africa. He should have built it here in Africa, our Christians here would love this shit.

[@joshyazel1200]

Funds? Do you know anything?

[@nikolaiandersson6024]

Idea for movie; Jurrasic Ark. The Ark story from the bible but they have to fight off dinosaurs that are too bloodthirsty and have to kill them all so that is why they're no dinosaurs today. Who would donate money to that kickstarter?

[@MichaelJonesC-4-7]

The termites, beavers, and woodpeckers would have a feast.

[@LongTomH]

What??? No unicorns???

[@paulandrews298]

Thomas Huffman That would have been gay... And you know what the bible says about "them".

[@pyroparagon8945]

Paul Andrews the bible never said anything about fictional unicorns though, they referred to Rhinos as unicorns, but not the DnD healing kind

[@jeffboice4790]

Only the rainbow ones with sparkle, you could hunt those back in the day.

[@johncutler4568]

Basically affirms what I've witnessed my whole life from religious people. They basically come in two types. Those who aren't too bright, and those who are selling something.

[@Anathemata]

Where did they keep the T-Rex on the Ark? What accommodations were the Penguins afforded? Were Woodpeckers a problem? How did they get the Brontosauruses on the boat? Why is Gamora?

[@antifagoat6591]

They explain how they kept dinosaurs; they were all juvenile. I ask how Noah was able to safely get two baby T-Rex from different parents and also how he was able to check their sex.

[@Anathemata]

Sinister Sweet Well apparently Magical God supposedly made the Animals tame and come to the boat, but his the fuck did Penguins get there? Where did they keep the Tens of thousands of pounds of vegetation just to feed the Brontosauruses let alone the rest. This is magical thinking and it's flawed. I believe in two things, be the best that you can be & be good to others. Yeah that should about do it.

[@andypitchless]

Don't get me started on woodworm...

[@Freethinker1958]

I wonder if Ken Ham has any idea about how much further damage he has done to his silly religion? This so-called attraction that Ken Ham is responsible for is the most ridiculous nonsense that I have ever witnessed. This is the best gift Ken Ham could have given to us atheists. Thanks Ken.

[@TheNamelessOne888]

*Freethinker1958* I think people like them make other christians reconsider their position even if they are unwilling to let go of religion and theism as a whole. At least most of them are woke enough today to not buy into crap like this.

[@Joshua-ch2ij]

Freethinker1958 yeah because it triggers you because you can’t let people have freedom to believe what they want to believe

[@rev0lve638]

Believing in something (despite gratuitous evidence) that affects laws, taxation, and human rights is extremely dangerous that you should be able to see. If we based our laws on any other religion, you'd be shitting yourself.

[@amandapanda2284]

Moon Man but you do have that freedom

I want to laugh at that Creationist aberration but then I remember that these people are serious and then I have mixed feelings, I want to laugh but cry at the same time.
