God will provide.

Why are Kentucky taxpayers subsidizing a religious theme park? I'm pretty sure the 1st Amendment applies in Kentucky, too.

Another Solyndra? Thanks NObama!

Maybe they're assuming a creationist park would just build itself.

The feds have nothing to do with this. 0/10.

How's that small government efficiency for you Republicans?

The evolutionists are plotting to keep God's truth from being told.

The Ark Encounter is quite a project: it will include a full-sized wooden ark, a "walled city much like what was found in ancient times, a replica of the Tower of Babel with exhibits, a first-century Middle Eastern village" and even outdoor parking

It's going to have PARKING? OMGWTF! Eat that, Disney!

It's so fancy dhey got ce-ment for parking your truck on!

I bet they have a poster of Pilate on the wall of the restroom reminding employees they have to wash their hands before returning to work

/that means you, Hey-soos

Sounds like natural selection at work.

Clearly the god Enlil is punishing these heathens for plagiarizing the trials of Utnapishtim for their little theme park.

Their business model doesn't appear to be very intelligently designed.

I'm not sure about that.

The "there's-a-sucker-born-every-minute" business model actually has a pretty good history of working out.

Can you really build a theme park with $24 mill? I guess maybe since it doesn't look like it has any rides. Which brings me to the next question, is a it a theme park without rides? Even Flanders'es Praiseland had rides.

I think an amusement park requires rides, this park promises only a theme you will not necessarily be amused.

What would be actually impressive is if they made an arc that floated out of materials that were available 5000 years ago. A wooden ship that size would more than likely fall apart without some divine intervention.

If they wind up not raising enough money to build the park, won't they just keep the cash?

Aarontology: Their business model doesn't appear to be very intelligently designed.

Their business model is "ask gullible people to give us money- promise them we'll build a fake boat some day- with outdoor parking even!"

So far, it seems like it's working out pretty well.

They're having some trouble with the Pepper's Ghost technology so attendees can be turned black after checking out Noah's dong.

You can barely build a shiatty mall for $24 Million.

I was at least expecting some footers, maybe some earth moving equipment.

It needs the devil burying fossils somewhere.

The Ark Encounter is quite a project: it will include a full-sized wooden ark, a "walled city much like what was found in ancient times, Sodomy, a replica of the Tower of Babel with exhibits, a first-century Middle Eastern village" and even outdoor parking.

Other highlights:

Actors rape theme park guests who accidentally wander into the "Land of Sodom"

"Onan's tent", sponsored by KY Jelly and Kleenex.

Circumcisions at 11am and 4pm daily.

Concession stands selling Locusts and honey on manna for $9.

Park is *not* responsible for spontaneous pregnancies

Special emphasis on the OUTDOOR part. Not like that evil indoor parking where God can't smile down upon your ride.

May not get built? Huh. Guess it's God's will.

It is important to monitor the number of visits to each of the the parks exhibits, rides and booths. That way you can invest park revenue to the parts that are the most popular and cancel the ones nobody cares about. Also, if when you add new features, you should incorporate the elements that make those parts successful. It probably take years and years but eventually the park will evolve into something amazing. I don't care how clever you are, it is naive to think that you will get the theme park design perfect on the first try.

Feedback: Too Evangelistic Creation Museum and Worthless Ark Encounter? (new window)

Today, many people question and even mock the very existence of Satan, as well as the reality of evil. Even in the church, there are few biblical resources that effectively counter the destructive claims raised in today's humanistic culture. We must reject unqualified conclusions drawn from sources outside the Bible, such as the current ideas and traditions of the culture. No believer should be unaware of these sound answers found in the Bible. It is our absolute authority. In The Fall of Satan: Rebels in the Garden, sound answers await you!

Outside the Bible... like your funding.

You know what would help? Tax cuts.

a replica of the Tower of Babel with exhibits

I hope one of the exhibits explains why God hasn't cursed mankind a second time with confusing our language, when it's clear we've built skyscrapers and flown spacecraft that dwarf the height of the Tower of Babel.
