For some people this is the sort of in-your-face demonstration it will take to convince them this particular story is a myth. Unfortunately, I expect the experience of seeing this story revealed to be a fraud will be compartmentalized by theists. Believers will not understand that the rest of the bible stands on a similar foundation. But hey, it is a step forward. One crazy story debunked at a time. And it doesn’t hurt to have the story shown to be impossible by one of their own. <br /><br />If this is the way to demonstrate reason to theists then, hey, maybe this Ham guy is really a covert atheist? <br /><br />I think a possible reason to speak out against the project is the tax breaks they are getting from the state. But I’m sitting on the fence on that issue at this point. If every amusement park gets the same breaks, and this is a for profit company paying the same discounted rates, then there is no problem.miker42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00245613357532370290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-66584313098226902002010-12-02T09:00:34.983-06:002010-12-02T09:00:34.983-06:00Hi!

I would walk through the ark pointing out how it would not even hold all the animals from your local zoo, let alone every species on the planet. I would wonder out loud about storing enough food for the "flood", and how a handful of people could care for all these animals. I would exclaim to all that could hear what an incredible waste of money it is to build something that shows how the Bible stories are wrong, money that could have been used for so many beneficial purposes. Then, after hopefully making some people think for themselves for a change, I would do it all again.<br />(assuming I haven't already been thrown out and banned)MAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489281535410681576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-21995653283820094822010-12-01T17:46:04.707-06:002010-12-01T17:46:04.707-06:00I agree with "Dorkman" -I feel rude typi...I agree with "Dorkman" -I feel rude typing that, but it’s the user name. Though the money could be spent on a better cause, I agree with him that a giant ark could be enjoyable to visit, but with the declaration that it is indeed fiction. I mean this in the same way Universal Studios has a fake Jurassic Park, ET world, and giant King Kong reproduction. The problem is that the employees at Universal studios are not telling kids that the giant King Kong is a replica of something that is factual and real, and then making up unsupported claims to support it. <br /><br />Since it's a theme park, they could always incorporate a Great Flood water ride, and make it realistic with animatronic drowning bunnies, puppies, babies, and pregnant women. That might deconvert a few.tsimpson1991https://www.blogger.com/profile/04273097980933835249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-7982965610029130172010-12-01T16:57:34.748-06:002010-12-01T16:57:34.748-06:00Let`s not forget that the old man has to be an alc...Let`s not forget that the old man has to be an alcoholic.Guillaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376749604845793465noreply@blogger.com
