I hope they're going to do it using Bronze Age hand-tools but sadly I doubt it. www.wlwt.com/r/25961768/detail.htmlWith splendid understatement, the article says of Ken Ham's monument to idiocy: This interpretation of prehistory is generally at odds with scientific consensus, and the museum has attracted criticism from some academic and religious groups.It's not as though a religious group could find anything better to spend $24.5m on... |

Until they fill it with animals and Ken Ham and his family stay inside for a year or however long it was, I'm not particularly excited.

Until they fill it with animals and Ken Ham and his family stay is locked inside for a year or however long it was forever, I'm not particularly excited. Fixed |

And if we came bringing 2 of every animal (including bears and elephants) and it doesn't fit, what will they say?

Are they really that bored in life to actually try this. This is one of the dumbest things I heard him do, out doing his dissertation. I also want to see his keep animals (2 of each kind) in that thing for 40 days and 40 nights and see if it works, but it has to be in the ocean. the sails has to be the type used at the time of the flood.

Kent Hovind is the dissertation guy, Ken Ham is another nitwit. (Unless he did a dissertation that I didn't hear about.)
Also, I believe the kind of sails used were "none". So that should be fun.

How many topics do we need about this anyhow?

And if we came bringing 2 of every animal (including bears and elephants) and it doesn't fit, what will they say? Well if I remember correctly it was actually 7 of every "clean" animal, and I think there's estimated to be between 5-100 million species. And because they don't accept evolution, all those species had to have existed at the time. And ti would include most sea life as well otherwise all fresh water animals would have died and most likely a whole other bunch too to due to the pressure and temperature changes caused by a global flood that covered Everest. So it'd be interesting to see them try. |

Shouldn't they use the money for something more constructive like building a hospital in a developing country?
Honestly this ark is just a big waste of money and resources.

No more than any other 'amusement'park. It's a way of bilking money from the desperate.
Frankly though it'd be great to see it made to proper specs. 1 window. pitch. no air con. Out in the blazing sun. Shred the shit out of their box car argument. It'd be great if the pantry was full of survival food being flogged by Glenn Beck.

I have to wonder if they'll get the aroma just right. And if they do, i also have to wonder if the poop of every other species cancels each other out, or simply makes a "super stench"
Too bad the only person who knew either is dead or didn't ever exist.

Not to mention places to win a girl a really big stuffed animal while showing off. And amusement parks are, well, they are fun. A giant artist's conception of a fabled boat. Now that's just lame. |

Physical impossibilities aside... Oh and: animals.about.com/od/zoologybasics/a/howmanyspecies.htmAnimals: estimated 3-30 million species | |--Invertebrates: 97% of all known species | `--+--Sponges: 10,000 species | |--Cnidarians: 8,000-9,000 species | |--Molluscs: 100,000 species | |--Platyhelminths: 13,000 species | |--Nematodes: 20,000+ species | |--Annelida: 12,000 species | `--Arthropods | `--+--Crustaceans: 40,000 species | |--Insects: 1-30 million+ species | `--Arachnids: 75,500 species | `--Vertebrates: 3% of all known species `--+--Reptiles: 7,984 species |--Amphibians: 5,400 species |--Birds: 9,000-10,000 species |--Mammals: 4,475-5,000 species `--Ray-Finned Fishes: 23,500 species ==> and when compared to this, which has capacity for about 50,000 pairs [Edit: of sheep! Fuck the elephants or wildcats], but NOT for a year, has 8 decks for livestock, ventilated sides, a massive integrated airconditioning system, automated feeding and automated shit removal, and still loses thousands of animals per voyage in adverse conditions. The ark was about 1/5 of the capacity, if that, had a handful of staff to do everything manually, and had ONE window, and apparently this was a design feature - man that Noah thought of everything! www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?MMSI=447070000I'd love to see the extremophiles on the ark too! |
