If I was them I would pull some LOST shit, build the thing in secret, sink it, then 'discover' it, and sell pieces of it for millions.
I think that the Noah's Ark story is one of those few stories that have been blown way out of proportion.
Yeah, interesting to see no doubt but...honestly, is it really worth it?
interesting yes, worth it? no! although i imagine alot of religion fanatic's would come to see it so i suppose the tourism boost would make money.
I can't wait until they build it and someone goes "Wait a second, there's no way in hell we could fit two of every animal on this piece of shit."
Fuck you WLWT [quote]This interpretation of prehistory is generally at odds with scientific consensus, and the museum has attracted criticism from some academic and religious groups.[/quote] Almost every single bit of the YEC mythos is unscientific. It's not "generally"

Christians spend 24.5 million dollars in order to prove themselves idiots. Where can I donate to this project? This is almost the very definition of giving someone enough rope to hang themselves.
Somehow I think that money could be put to better use, like feeding starving children and healing the sick.

Not like, everything they've ever said or done ever before?

I think he's gay too, just had a feeling.

This is literally an ark sized monument to their own ignorance and stupidity. I love it.
They should try and see if they can fit two of every animal on it. [editline]1st December 2010[/editline] and then we will laugh when they fail
:10bux: says they try and extrapolate their "kinds" shit as far as possible to get it down to like, 1,000 animals. Then still fail at getting them on.

Where did they come from? The only answer that makes any sense is evolution. Even by their own fictional story, they STILL REQUIRE EVOLUTION TO EXPLAIN SHIT. So even if they manage to get two of every "kind" on the boat, they have still just proven themselves wrong.

They agree with minor changes, but somehow don't get it's these minor changes over time that makes up evolution. Like, dogs and wolfs and shit all came from one kind of animal, and they're not different species or whatever. So fun fact, YEC disagree with taxonomy too!

Those 6 refused to do any work involving Evolution [at their own expense of tuition] and failed the class. My teacher started being awesomely sarcastic about halfway through - She had us do a timeline of the history of the earth [all 4.whatever billion years] and for the christian friendly version she had them write "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD" the entire length of the 4.6 meter paper.
How can they replicate something that havent ever existed, nor prove to have existed?

I mean really. Two big cats couldn't produce all of the species of large cat today without macro evolution because, again, different species. Barring extremely unusual circumstances most species of large cat cannot produce fertile offspring.
they should make one drunk with a beard, mallet, and hacksaw do it

He brought up the deal with zonkeys and all, and said that made zebras and donkeys not different species, despite the fact that they kind of need to be fertile to produce offspring. Really :iiam: how they manage the unbelievably high levels of cognitive dissonance it would take to believe this
As long as they aren't getting any government money for this shit I'm ok with it no matter how stupid I personally think it is
[QUOTE=Xen Tricks;26423304] Really how they manage the unbelievably high levels of cognitive dissonance it would take to believe this [/QUOTE] It's because they are [I]fucking retarded. [/I] I do not understand how atheists manage the unbelievably high levels of cognitive dissonance it would take to not understand this. We had abortion protesters at my college and the leader came up to me and started trying to "Watchmaker" my ass. He bastardized the already logically flawed and laughable "theory" by asking me how long it would take the parts of a watch in a box to form a watch. I was like "Do you know the difference between a living and nonliving thing?" and quizzed him on various objects like birds, cellphones, and anything else in sight until he packed up his signs and left. I schooled them on the theory of evolution, the shit theories they use to support their arguments, and the bible. It is amazing how little they know about their own religion.

How someone can just [I]know[/I] "I'm right, they're wrong" with so fucking much evidence against every single aspect of their belief system is baffling. Like, it literally disagrees with every single scientific field in existence that has anything to say about our world. Geology, biology, physics, everything!
So how many square feet is it going to have? Now we can crunch some numbers and Oh wait we don't have to, it's one of those things that's just absurd to even think about
I still don't get why everyone thinks this is a complete waste of money. I mean, it might be bad for the museum, but the lumber mills and everyone who worked on this stupid thing sure aren't complaining. Besides, if they go on and spend their pay, they will stimulate the economy.
