Ken Ham blames "Ark Encounter" failure on atheists

I think the blame is misplaced. He should look in the mirror first of all.

Among other things, it was not near any other big tourist attractions, it costs $40 a person or so to get into, and even most Christians don’t believe in the concept anyway.

:smack:

It’s not our fault that he didn’t include a section for hookers and blow.

I blame Jesus.

I’ve never heard of this before; can I still be responsible for his park’s failure? I want to feel like I’ve contributed something good to society.

I’m going to allow this.

So, wait… The reason why it’s a failure is because atheists are lying and saying that it’s a failure? Point out the lie for me, please?

And $40 for a ticket, really? Who pays that much to see a museum?

I’m claiming full credit for this before anyone else tries to grab the glory. :d

Well, I’m not an atheist, and I knew from the start that his silly project was going to be a disaster. Do I get to share the blame?

I’m going to allow this.

$40 per ticket and the museum employees watch for, and expel visitors for, “disrespectful language.”

on the website, there is a page that tries to validate the story of the ark by pointing out that there are many flood myths from around the world. The epic of Gilgamesh being one. but then it goes out of it’s way to say that the epic is clearly a work of fiction. Whaaaa? Is it a work of fiction is is it further proof that the story of Noah is true? I don’t get what they’re trying to say with this twisted little bit of info.

Because God. Duh!

Ummmm… Ham!

Well, for a regular museum, you just find shit lying around, give it a polish and put it on display.

For the Creation museum, they had to pay a creative team to make up a story, then pay a construction team to build the stuff. Makes sense that it’s more expensive.

Yeah. The whole world is centered around an amusement park in Kentucky. People are having secret meetings all to sabotage a theme park run by a guy who seems to have never run a theme park. Frankly, it is all Secular Humanists talk about. It is the center of the spiritual battle. Yeah, that’s it.

Well, we (a collective “we”) are pointing out to public schools that taking classes on field trips there would be a tad unconstitutional, and he was planning on that revenue stream, so you could argue that the blind squirrel did find part of a nut.

I actually kinda want to go there to see how bonkers it is. From what I’ve heard, it’s unusual even from a Creationist view.

The flood myths I do think are a good indication that there was a massive flood in our prehistory, one that may have almost wiped out humanity. We are remarkably genetically similar compared to many other species, suggesting some sort of bottleneck.

And even if that’s not relevant, it could be a local flood that harmed a very important early civilization that we are all descended from.

There could even have been some Noah-esque “prophet” who happened to predict the calamity and save people.

“Noah?”

“Yes, Lord?”

“How long can you tread water?”

When it goes bankrupt I’ll pick it up for a coupla grand and open an upscale seafood restaurant. Catfish King. Or maybe even a Long John Silvers.

I think most of his revenue planning was delusional. I’m not sure how many nut-parts I’d give him for noticing after the fact that some possible revenue got blocked.

BigT, if you’re interested, there are pictorial walk-throughs on the internet, posted by people who wanted to satisfy non-believer’s curiosity without them having to pay forty bucks. That, I’ll call a blind squirrel’s nut.
