Whoever said the sole purpose of AiG was feeding the poor? The people donating the money aren't expecting it to feed the poor. I believe Judas once reprimanded Jesus for allowing Mary to pour expensive perfume on his feet instead of selling it to feed the poor. Jesus told him the poor would always be among you. Judas wasn't really concerned about poor people and neither are these ark critics.

As I stated to another poster on this thread, I did not know that the $ was earmarked for the ark. Fair enough.

However, building an ark with many tens of millions of dollars is extravagant and, in my opinion, wasteful and garish.

Kind of like Dollyworld.

Your judgment here, then, is a matter of degree. Ham's vision for this is something really nice and professional looking...like the creation museum... and it will be expensive. I know how you feel. I don't like to see garish expensive church buildings and preachers driving expensive cars.

But then, if I went to see the finished Ark project and it was made of cheap plywood...and there was poor customer service...and the bathrooms were dirty...and the displays looked like bad high school science projects...then I probably would leave early and not come back. ...and all of my preconceived notions of gap-toothed mouth-breathing Christians would be reinforced.
