a little kid asked his mom why those people weren't on the boat, the mom was like 'they are going to die because they are sinners.'

i just stood there with my mouth open.

Well, yeah, that's kinda how it happens in the story.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Throw in one of the worlds biggest and fastest roller coasters and id prob buy a ticket.

ffs, get your act together America.

Because all of America is like this...? This would never fly in coastal America at least.

 

[Diatribe1974]

let me guess:

They announce that the park is scheduled to start construction on XXX date & open on YYY date. When the park opens on YYY date, they claim that their god made it all happen, by his divine will & have us disregard all the "false evidence" of construction along the way by something other than a god. AMIRITE?

What are they answering true/false to?

Just by reading the last page .......... really....

 

[rpmurphy]

The best Noah's Ark theme park will still be the one in Wisconsin Dells.

 

[JGS]

What are they answering true/false to?

Whether or not evolution is true I think. Someone brought that chart out before. CNN/Gallup polls are much more detailed.

 

[sarcoa]

That's a good question. I always just assumed it was raptor Jesus.

Has anyone on gaf been? lol

Hey I've been. My friends and I decided the material inside was worth contributing $20 to the worst cause imaginable. Oddly enough we assumed there were be a large portion of people there "like us" who were going for laughs. Bad assumption, because everyone there (kids on field trips, adults, whatever) appeared to be taking it seriously.

Please, have a small sample of what we encountered:

An exhibit showing humans coexisting peacefully with vegetarian Tyrannosaurus

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



And a hilarious (but disturbing) account of a visit to the museum:

Graffiti Alley
This area is purposefully nasty and grubby and includes a garbage can and old newspapers (is this art?) and a cute fake mouse that might make someone go "eek." One wall features newspaper story clippings of the Columbine Massacre, 9/11, gay rights, prayer out of school, and various crimes. Another wall has graffiti saying "Today Man Decides Truth" with "Truth" marked over and replaced with "Whatever". This is the start of the section promoting the Fundamentalist social agenda of the Anti-Museum. This all comes off as rather silly and offensive to anyone who does not share AIG's theology. Worst of all is that this is boring. Most of the other visitors just seemed to drift through here.

Culture in Crisis
This section is devoted to AIG attacking non-Fundamentalist Christians. A video has a minister preaching theistic evolution and an old earth to a bored flock of adults and kids playing with their I-pods and other distractions. In other videos in this room the boy who was just squirming in church is rolling a joint and surfing the net for porn. His T-shirt has a frowny yellow face plus a beer equaling a happy Wal-Mart face. In the next video the teenage girl from the church is reading her positive pregnancy test on the phone to Planned Parenthood. One can almost hear the vacuum noises of the abortion clinic and hellfire-a-coming. One wall is a church wall being destroyed with a wrecking ball labeled "Millions of Years." This is really getting silly! We had to stay in this section a while waiting for the previous showing of the film in the next section to end.

Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Cro-Magnon are claimed to originate from these refugees from Babel and became cave dwellers.

According to artwork in the film, children in ancient Japan even had pet Stegosaurs.

I've been tempted to go for the fun of it but I'm pretty sure I'd be pissing away $20 just to get kicked out in 5 minutes.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

oh god apparently there's a t. rex outside the museum that's in the tripod stance

 

[Snuggles]

hhahaha, vegetarian T-Rex...where do they come up with this stuff?

it's like a monument to childlike ignorance

Creationists plan yet another museum for northern Kentucky
Creation Science Hall of Fame plans to honor 'scientists' who further the idea that God created the world 6,000 years ago...

edit - apologise for the thread necromancy.

Is it just me or is the US regressing?

 

[Mariolee]

As a Christian, I hate Answers in Genesis not only because of what it has been doing, but because it somehow has a ton of funding. It's an embarrassment.

 

[Clydefrog]

This thread is two years old. You didn't think that maybe two years is a reasonable length of time to create a new thread instead of bumping an old one?

 

[equap]

these people are so crazy.

I believe if they have things their way, they'll behave just like the Taliban.

 

[Lost Fragment]

I was like "wait didn't I make that shit like 80 years ago" then I was like "yep."

Nope. Whenever the conservatives get the loudest, it's because they know they're losing a cultural battle they can't win. This goes for all conservatives everywhere in the world.
