Yes, that’s most likely just how it really is.

I say good for them.

Doesn’t The Bible say that God uses the rainbow as a sign that he will never wipe out man again with the flood?


Gen 9:12 Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of My covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come.
Gen 9:13 I have placed My rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of My covenant with you and with all the earth.
Gen 9:14 When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds,
Gen 9:15 and I will remember My covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.
Gen 9:16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.”

Note the “When I see the rainbow, I will remember”. It is a reminder to Him, not to us to. Also it is conditional to flood waters only.................................

That photo is the first salvo in the campaign for Christians to take back the rainbow

State and local governments went out of their way to invite the building of the ark, with tax incentives that are available to other non-profits. Then, during the building process, they began changing the tax governing rules, specifically for the Creation Museum and the Ark, resulting in taxes being applied where they were not applied, originally.

The author of the article is clearly anti-Christian, and not to be believed as a credible source or reporter. Exceedingly biased against the Creation Museum and all associated with it.

Ken Ham is honorable, God fearing, and seeking to tell the story of creation, in an interesting and visual manner that will enhance learning among the public. His entire organization is about helping people believe the very foundation of God’s Word, the Bible, which consists in the first eleven chapters of Genesis, the first Book of the Bible.

Satan is working overtime to defeat, slow down and impede the work of the Creation Museum. In the end, God wins.

“As biased as this comes across, I would like to see some independent verification from different sources.”

Exactly. After all, the article comes from an atheist site. I’m not sure “give a fair shake” is even in their lexicon.

I perceive the photo to represent “Taking Back the Rainbow”, which is important in the fight against the homo agenda.

The rainbow represents God’s promise to us, not fudge-packing, turd-burgling butt pirates engaging in coprophilia.

“We’ve become so disturbed as a society that we automatically see a Rainbow as a homosexual symbol.”

Or it is being used as a homo symbol and naive people don’t see that.

“No...... imbicile writer, this isn’t how “creationists” think.
Frankly, this creationist thinks if this is true, those are some shady people running that Ark attraction. It just sounds plain wrong.”

Don’t let this author think for you - know who you’re reading and use some critical thinking for yourself. The author has an agenda and it’s not in line with conservatism or belief in God.

Ken Ham is paying them back by restricting jobs to his anti-gay Creationist buddies,

And now we see the author's real agenda. He's a faggot promoting faggotry. Ken Ham may be unethical. I don't know. I certainly don't take the word of a faggot on the matter. Because nothing says "unethical" quite like pushing the social acceptance of sodomy.

“It would be a huge hit to the schools,” he said.

The author of this hit piece doesn't expound on how a tourist attraction burdens the public school system in the county.

well Shem Hamm,Japeth and Noah should share. I’m sure it’s hard to find “clean” family in these days of Noah.

For all the haters, go to their website.

Ham debated Bill Nye.

We are going to the Ark this August; it’s an hour drive.

Are tax laws only for non-Christians?

The rainbow was a sign from God; take it back from the homosexuals. That is what Ham is doing.

Read the bible; it mentions a rainbow - is that a gay rainbow, too?

Boy, talk about a biased, anti-Christian article.

The town attracted the Ark with tax breaks in the first place. Now they are trying a switcheroo to milk the golden goose further because, obviously, the Ark can't now be moved to another location so they go after a direct revenue stream by passing a ticket tax just for that one business. There is no doubt the attraction brings into town millions of dollars of business every year but they just got greedy and wanted more moolah.

They deserve the legal finger.
