Noah's Ark theme park is impressive, but its 'facts' don't hold water

You are not looking at an evolved man. you are looking an demon possessed man. He probably picked up several dozen in his presidency. It would explain the look.

More faith than believing in God.

I understand that evolution has been coming under increasing attack in Europe over the past several years, but rather inconveniently at the hands of a protected group, so virtue-signaling a presumed greater level of intelligence among Evolutionists isn’t really working there anymore, to the point that Creationism is being taught in some classrooms.

A lot of faith, and suspension of factual reality.

No, doubt. These scientist are very smart people. They claim to know how a cell is made. However, they cannot make one. They know all of the ingredients. The fact is, they will never know. Even a living cell is more technologically advance then our greatest inventions.

Read this article earlier, and it seemed to me that the author was offering a similar argument to the "man-made climate change" argument.

He personally doesn't believe in the literal interpretation of the creation and Noah's Ark, so he considers his beliefs as "fact"; therefore, the creators of the theme park have a problem with "facts".

Just like man-made climate change is "fact", and if you believe otherwise, well, maybe you should be locked up for your own good.....

Our Creator is very resourceful and creative. I’m sure that many ways to realign humankind would be worked out that wouldn’t destroy all the other innocent creatures.

In the article, there is a statement about Noah being 600 years old, and it stated as proof it’s all a myth.

I don’t know if you are familiar with the book “The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks” but you should read it.

Why? It shows that some cells, taken from a woman in 1950s, are immortal - that is, they don’t die, and their offspring does not die. They came from a tumor the woman had, who died a few months later.

This proves that the cellular machinery that can allow humans to live hundreds of years (or maybe forever) is in our DNA, but appears to be switched “off”.

As for how could 1 man and his family gather all the animals, it’s clear God’s spirit BROUGHT them to the ark. (just read the bible).

It’s so funny when someone who has no biblical knowledge or scientific education states that the bible is incompatible with science.

What was attendance like? This article implies that not many people are coming.

I can’t imagine who in Kentucky can afford the admission....that being said, perhaps we should learn from the fact that the Ark had NO RUDDER..... ahem....

Evolution may be an errored religion all its own, with its own suspension of disbelief required, but creationism IS a fairy tale. Creationism makes it so much easier for the anti-religious to make a joke of Christianity. Teaching things like the Grand Canyon was created by lightening strikes & there were baby dinosaurs on the Ark are ridiculous. Science & judeochristian beliefs & ideals CAN coexist without making things up out of thin air. But incorporating willful ignorance of history & facts makes Creationism the yin to Evolution’a yang & I don’t support made up nonsense no matter what side of the aisle it falls on. If you are willing to give a pass to the creationists & they’re idiotic proselytizing via THEIR errant interpretation of the Ark then you can’t debase or discount the Mormon version of history either. Both are absolute fantasy.

Since I don't believe in evolution, but do believe in demon possession, I reckon you are right.

Just a little more subtle propaganda from the networks.

Hope they enjoy.
