Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - GMDino - 06-18-2017 http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2017/06/creationist-ken-ham-blames-atheists-ark-park-failure/ Quote:Sad monkey: A bitter Ken Ham blames atheists and the secular media for the perceived financial failure of his Ark Park. BTW: God responded. http://thegoodlordabove.com/god-responds-ken-ham-blaming-atheists-ark-park-failure/ ![]() RE: Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - Vas Deferens - 06-19-2017 Can't wait til this guy gets caught in a state parks cabin with a sheep and and used condoms. Seriously though, I've thought about visiting just for the kicks of asking questions on the tour. Don't blame us. Sounds like a great time to give vision to the blind in person. I'm a miracle worker like that. RE: Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - michaelsean - 06-19-2017 How about even people who wanted to see it, only needed to see it once?

That is really the issue. Did he think people would make multiple pilgrimages to it each year? It's a spectacle that once you see it once your good I'd imagine. It was simply a horrible business plan from the start. RE: Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - samhain - 06-19-2017 Terrible idea to begin with. It's kind of a haul to get there from any real population center. It's not far enough to stop someone who really wants to see it, but it's too far for someone who may do it on a whim or spontaneously on a random afternoon. I've disliked the idea from the start, but even an objective assessment of the concept would have been cautious at best. Others have tried Ark parks and they have failed miserably. This one may be bigger and better funded, but at the end of the day it's still what it is, i.e. a glorified petting zoo with a zipline and some indoctrination tossed in for good measure. There are cooler animals at any number of zoos in the region. There are better rides at Kings Island. I still say wait for it to tank and re-aprropriate it as Kentucky's first recreational pot dispensary-casino-distillery-***** house. Hell, have a gun range out back, too. Guarantee people would drive long distances to support the local economy if Williamstown had that kind of setup.

I live about an hour or so from a place called Discovery Park. It's the half baked idea from a guy who lived in the middle of nowhere and went on to build the chain store Kirklands. He wanted to bring a bit of the world (and some much needed tourism after their largest employer moved to Mexico), so he donated several million out of his own pocket and built a pretty kickass museum/children's learning center. I've been a half dozen times since it opened 4-5 years ago, and it stays full. Half baked idea, but it turned out to be something great and draws in people from a couple hours away. People will go to the middle of nowhere if you've got a good product. I think Ham overestimated the number of people who think man tamed dinosaurs and literally fit two of everything that's alive today (or recently extinct) into an over-sized house boat. RE: Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - Nately120 - 06-19-2017 If atheists really wrecked this guy's super successful park I might finally have to give this whiny bastards some credit. Good job. RE: Creationist Ken Ham Blames Atheists For Ark Park Failure - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 06-19-2017 God has a (business) plan for Ken Ham.

Or seven of each... https://carm.org/how-many-kinds-did-noah-bring-ark-two-or-seven I just was reading something about this a couple weeks ago. I honestly don't think I ever heard that in 16 years of Catholic school.

But interestingly, they are not thinking it through very well in that. It would be a total of 9 of every clean animal, two of every other. This is so that a sacrifice of 7 of each clean animal can be made, still leaving a mating pair.

Apparently the official stance at the amusement park for and by complete idiots is: 'it dehydrated'. I think that says enough about people who believe this utter bs. |
