Why do people laugh at creationists (part 44)

WDPLAC.... ITS BACK!!!!!
How to blow 100 MILLION dollars as a creationist?
Honestly, this makes solar roadways look like a thoughtful and well planned use of money!
looks like the Ark Encounter will get significantly less than its projected minimum. It had a lower bound of 1.5mn, and it looks like they will be lucky to break the million mark. Further, if the slowly declining attendance of AiGs 'Creationist Museum' is anything to go by, they build the Ark Encounter at EXACTLY the wrong time!

All DNA evidence shows that before Muhammad the people of the North African Coastal Kingdoms and the Middle East are most closely related to modern day Northern Italians. The Nature Journals published several conclusive studies on the matter.

They would of looked more like Ben Stiller, Michael Imperioli, John Stamos, John Travolta or Marisa Tomei people like that. The media gets it quite accurate to be honest, Liz Taylor as Cleopatra was definitely more than accurate enough, although her nose was more hooked in reality, most likely anyway. Russell Crowe isn't to far off in Noah, he could just about pass for Northern Italian or Greek etc, Christian Bale as Moses was quite spot on, and Joel Edgerton with all the make up was fine, I can't really think of many examples were they've got it wrong in regards to the Middle East and North Africa.

3:00 Actually, getting food would have been the least of their problem. The real issue would have been the careful pruning for fifty years of the gigantic production forest needed to supply the right quality of wood. Even in ancient times, they did not use random trees. It simply doesn't work. They planted the right species of trees and cared for them for decades to ensure a supply of timber. Also, the maximum displacement of a wooden ship is about 3000 tons. Wood simply cannot support a larger structure.

[@mrwesley8926]

@@hunterham9414 Sorry, but I have to agree with AJ on this. Per my 2 minutes of googling, "Because of her extreme length and wood construction, Wyoming tended to flex in heavy seas, which would cause the long planks to twist and buckle, thereby allowing sea water to intrude into the hold. Wyoming had to use pumps to keep her hold relatively free of water. In March 1924, she foundered in heavy seas and sank with the loss of all hands". I mean technically it floated as long as the water that leaked in was pumped out. Lets split the difference, large displacement wooden ships are not seaworthy, unless, there are pumps to empty out the water that leaks in. Hugs for everyone.

[@hunterham9414]

@mrwesley8926 do you know all wooden ships leak? All of them even tiny ones. They all need pumps or someone to bail out the water. The 34ft 'yacht' (it wasn't even close to nice) I used to live on dropped like 6-8 inches when the bilge pump went out over night. That's just the name of the game.

Now it is a failure, so guess what, anyone who works in the county is paying additional taxes to bail out the Ark. They announced it this year stating the effective date was a month ago so everyone had to pay back taxes and couldn't debate it. So now I'm paying roughly to buy a ticket every month for the Ark and I never want to step foot in it. These same officials are not seeking reelection because they know how deeply unpopular this is.

Americans ought to be jealous of European countries on this issue. In Finland (where I live), creationists are a vanishing minority and a teacher would get fired if he taught creationism. Even my RE teacher said that creationists are giving Christianity a bad name and Jesus, if he existed, would probably be face palming at creationists.

[@justinlockhart5417]

Jealous ? Americans ought to be ashamed of letting this charade go as long as it has.

[@sandorrabe5745]

The Son of God, who is also God, would deny that His Father is the Creator of the heavens and the Earth? Seriously you take that from your teacher as truth?

[@late8641]

@@sandorrabe5745 I'm talking about the literal 6-day creation 6,000 years ago. If you want to believe God created the universe, whatever. Just know it didn't happen as the Bible tells it.

[@sandorrabe5745]

@@late8641 okay, fair enough; many people don't accept the literal 6 day creation account from Genesis 1. I do take it literally; since I was not there and it's not going to change the facts on the ground at this time we're in, that works fine for me. I don't want to presuppose that there are limits to what God can do.

I can't wait until this place becomes abandoned. It's going to look so cool at night as you explore it with your friends at night, looking at all the graffiti, and run-down equipment, and possibly playing with fake ghost detecting equipment and a camera while trying to make a viral video. When that place gets shut down, I'll be one of the first people to explore it under the cover of darkness :)

Yes. As a christian man myself I don't know why they built this. But it would look cool when abandoned.

Yes "the ark" can be done...... by modern means. Now you need to build one with what only 5 people one of which is Geriatric, no equipment, no vehicles, not modern anything... I'll wait

[@chanseyinthehood8415]

If you define "the ark" by just "Big boat", then yes, but if you add the word "wooden" in the definition, i don't think it is still possible to create a boat this size that would be seaworthy, even by modern means.

[@str83dge4real]

thats kinda my point. If want to make anything like "the ark", cool. Then do it by the means of the time and the materials. And apparently that wasnt or isnt wasnt possible

[@SkylinesProductions]

No body knows the technology that he used. It could have been better than ours. We don’t know because it all got reset after the flood obviously. God did play a huge role in it. By the way the actual boat was found. It’s now three stories of petrified wood and the dimensions match what the Bible says exactly.

Many years later the parking lot is actually looking half full now that they build a hotel on a part of it.
