Complete with T-Rexes!
I can’t believe he got tax credits from the state for part of the funds to build this.
Ugh, and people will point to this as evidence of a young earth.
If T-Rexes are on that Ark, that’s wrong. The dinosaurs went extinct because there was no room for them on the Ark. God’s will, I guess. Although why an all-powerful God couldn’t shrink them up real small to make them fit, and then restore them to normal size after the waters receded I can’t imagine. It would’ve made a really cool miracle.
I once saw a belated birthday card with two T-Rexes standing on a rock surrounded by water. In the distance the Ark was pulling away. One dino says to the other “Oh crap! Was that today?”
Found the picture
And this is why it’s dangerous for Republicans to run the states.
The Democratic governor, Steve Beshear, vetoed it, but got primaried out of office by Tea Party Matt Bevin. (Not that Beshear was squeaky clean, but he wasn’t this bad.)
I like that. Bevin would not appeal the decision. Oh, boy.
Another source: Beshear asks for dismissal of Ark case
Stealing from the state to fund religion. Swell.
Because, when you consider God, you just KNOW that he’s surrounded by liars and thieves…
I was rather confused by this statement, so I looked it up.
To be “primaried out of office” would mean that Beshear and Bevin ran in the same party’s primary and Bevin beat Beshear. As far as I can tell, Beshear was a Democrat and Bevin was a Republican.
As far as I can tell (pdf), Bevin ran in the 2015 Republican primary and Beshear did not run at all in the 2015 primaries. Beshear’s second term expired December 8, 2015, and he was barred by term limits from seeking re-election to a third consecutive term.
Let’s go a step further, instead of flooding the earth, why couldn’t God have simply said “Poof! All but 2 of each species and a bunch of Noah’s relatives disappear”? That would seem much less trouble than making some poor old man build a humongous boat and gather two of each species.
But apparently, He was trying to send some kind of message and dinos weren’t part of His plan.
The tax credit program was designed to promote the development of tourist attractions in Kentucky. Putting aside the religious issues, Mr Ham’s businesses qualify as tourist attractions - and apparently successful ones.
My first thought, on seeing the OP, was: This is news? He’s been building that, and it’s been in the news, for years, with interminable delays.
Okay, so I see the news: This things is actually going to open. And soon.
So, upon reading the article… Who knew that Noah had Tyvek?
If he had a mannequin dressed up like Marc Bolan on his ark, he’d be more accurate on a timeline scale to when the alleged original ark is to have sailed than he is with a T-Rex.
Yee-haw.
I’d like to see Ken Japheth and Ken Shem top that!
Bill Cosby explained that:
God: Noah!
Noah: What? What you want?
God: Gotta take one of those hippos out and bring in another one.
Noah: What for?
God: 'Cause you got two males down there and you need to bring in a female.
Noah: I’m not bringin’ nothin’ in. You change one of em’.
God: Come on, you know I don’t work like that.
Noah: I’m tellin you what I’m gonna do. I’m lettin’ all these animals out, then I’m gonna burn down this ark, then I’m goin’ to Florida or somethin’ because You haven’t done nuthin’ and…it’s raining…All right Lord, me and You, I knew all along…
The Noah segments were the funniest of all Cosby’s work, IMNSHO.
Woops! confused this Creationism with another one, nevermind.
Dozens and dozens of bathrooms, really ? :dubious:
Well, I guess it is pretty full of crap…
I find it funny that a man who believes one stone age family could build an entire ark with stone age tools needs a hundred million dollars, a team of engineers, hundreds of workers, and heavy machinery, to build his own.
Baker:
It’s up there, but personally, I favor, “No, Dad, he’s Damnit - I’m Jesus Christ!”
It’s because we live in a fallen age.
I blame original sin.
Mine has to be either “To Russell…”, “Dad, I swear it was a giant. Then he said he would get…The Belt. We had never seen The Belt…”
Or “200 MPH”: “The speedometer starts at zero. And goes allllll the way around to TWO…HUNDRED…MPH…and under the 200, there’s still more room, and the words, ‘Oh, Wow!’”
“Tonsils” has to be up there too. “They gave me anesthesia and told me to count backwards from 100. One hundred…ninety-ni…I was out. I couldn’t even get to the second nine I was so pathetic.”
Funny, funny material. Too bad the son of a bitch ruined it all.
