The way I would imagine it, they would show them “building” it, all speaking the same language, have some light show showing God punishing them, then afterwards have them all speak a different language.
And that’s pretty much all I can imagine it doing. There’s no room for exhibits or anything. Just a monument to the story of Man’s folly and God’s punishment. The only way it could possibly have an educational value is in actually telling the story (for what ever small values of “education” you use.)
Other than that, it’s just him wanting to build what God expressly punished others for building. It make no sense for anyone who takes the Bible literally, and suggests to me that Ham does not.
What I’m expecting is that he’ll finish pissing off everyone in the entire region, be forced out by the board (planned that way), sell off his ownership to some rubes and walk away before the entire thing collapses. ‘Forced out’ so he can claim victimhood and zero responsibility for the subsequent failure of the venture.
Isn’t that how you con your way out of such things with maximum possible money?
Here are some common fallacies. While they are a poor way of using logic, at least it demonstrates evidence of awareness of logic’s existence. Rather in the same way those old-fashioned kiddie car seats with a plastic steering wheel demonstrates an awarness of the existence of driving. In its article on YEC, wiki says,
While I’m personally embarrassed by the Ark, the Patheos website sited in the OP is just as cringeworthy.
Anyway, I actually know the Sales Director at the Ark, and acc to him, they are doing great. Acc to a recent FB post of his, Dry Ridge hotel occupancy is 98% with thee more hotels breaking ground.
P.S. If you want to get an accurate read of attendance, you can’t count cars in the parking lot. A huge percentage of visitors come in buses. He routinely is on FB welcoming youth and church groups bused in from all over the country.
Lots of cultures around the world talk about an ancient flood. Therefore, there certainly WAS a flood in mankind’s early history. Because people wouldn’t just make something huge like that up independently. You dig?
Now, mention of a flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh is a famous example. Everybody knows that one. But, inasmuch as that Epic is also often used as an example of how several key Biblical stories have clear parallels (and possible, even likely, origins) in Ancient Mesopotamian works presumably acquired during the Babylonian Exile of the Israelites, well, that is NOT TRUE. PUT THAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is pagan mythology, invented from the heads of pagans. But the story of Noah and the Flood is in the Bible, the Word of God, and Not At All Fiction.
Instead, those pagans were simply distorting the record of What Really Happened, and the fact that the books of the Bible were first written down after a long, multi-generational Exile in Babylon just shows that those Babylonians weren’t paying complete attention to the Prophets of the Lord when they told them about the reasons behind that enormous flood that everybody was still talking about.
I mean, Gilgamesh is described as the son of a goddess. How could a human be born of divine origin? It’s IMPOSSIBLE!*
*Except that it happened only that one time, which PROVES there is only one God!
