Wow this guy doesn't know what he is talking about and if he did any research the "unicorn" in question could be a rhino. This guy is obviously an atheist trying to discredit the Bible. Carbon-14 dating proves Creation.
I made a video proving that the unicorns discussed in the Bible were real animals that are still alive today. The video is titled “Why Does The Bible Mention Unicorns?”
I'm a technician. Hopefully soon you will have a camera with an external microphone. If not, a small PA system with the speaker near your camera's internal microphone will improve your audio immensely. Call me if you need help.
This foolishness about Noah's ark and a global flood is completely unnecessary when you realize that simple math can be used to show there is no way most of Earth's sedimentary rock layers could have been deposited by a single global flood - see the presentation on Slideshare entitled "Were Most of Earth's Fossil-Bearing Sedimentary Rock Layers Deposited by Noah's Flood? or just Google "Noah's flood rock layers" and it's one of the first listed..
Also, it shows how ridiculous creationism is quite nicely. Imagine poor sloths, banana slugs, and koalas trekking and swimming all the way to and from Noah's boat... Granted, in a book that also has talking animals and omnipotent deities getting beaten in wrestling matches, it doesn't stand out TOO much.
The great thing about the Noah's Ark story is that it's one of the only testable theories in the bible. All they have to do is build the ark to biblical specifications, show that it's seaworthy, and fit two of every animal on there, and I'll be sold! I'll be holding my breath for THAT. :-P
There is no reason this park, with an event that could not have happened by natural means, cannot get tax breaks if the Disney parks did, with their witches and fairies and magic.
@cynic2all You'd be right if the Disney parks were presenting fairies, witches, magic and talking fucking mice as factual, scientific and real. But they're not. Disney knows what they're selling are fairy tales and so does everyone else. These Ark Park gomers are presenting debunked mythology as fact and scamming the ignorant. People _should_ be pissed that they're asking for government handouts!!1
And all the civilizations that were here WAY before the mystical 6,000 years ago date....what of them again? Creationism is all lies. Not one shred of proof...and the "book" doesn't count. Anyone who believes in that, should have their head examined.
Those idiots think the Earth was created AFTER the domestication of the dog!! And that must have been one HUGE boat to house 3.5million PAIRS of animals. Then to keep them from eating each other is another issue, seeing how most of them are in several others' food chains. Wow! Noah thought of everything, didn't he? LMAO
They need to have Kent Hovind at the ticket counter, in an orange prison jumpsuit, convincing all ticket-buyers that that they don't need to pay for tickets.
People who actually believe the Bible is a sacred text sprouting from the mouth of the Diety are allowed to believe whatever they want. They just should not expect the rest of us (who bother to look at modern research and science) to also believe what they do. I believe in God. Just not some old WHITE man with a long beard sitting on a Gold Throne above the stars keeping track of what I think and do.
For the person who said "who are you gonna believe...fallible man with their ideas and indoctrinating", how do I know the Bible was written by G-d? How do I know your religion and beliefs were not made up by fallible man? Can you show me compelling that what you belief is true or must I take your word, you being a just another human being, for it?
Nice eisogesis of the Bible. Want to tell me what verse might talk about the microwave in your kitchen?
???Answers in Genesis does not accept money from the government.????
Associating a false prophet with anything Christian shows the "Rev" does not understand the Bible. False prophet = non Christian (he's one of you guys: atheists, Mormons, Buddhists , Hindus, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc (all other faiths in other words).
AiG raises support from people, not government. They sell products.
There is NO gov't funding to be used for this, just a tax rebate on income generated there. The unicorn of the Bible was a rhino (look up an old dictionary and you'll see it is used synonymously with rhino), and the ark described in the Bible looked nothing like the straw-man model shown in the video.
@JeffDM my understanding is it falls under the guidelines established by the state for getting a tax rebate. Since state gov't likes to encourage businesses (more jobs and more tax income) they often offer rebates.
@staum607 That's a fail. Anyone who would be an "employee" would have to pass a religion test, another discriminatory action that cannot be condoned on the taxpayer dime.
"If you do not go to the park, not one cent of the taxes you pay will go there. "
No. It doesn't matter if you actually visit this retarded excuse for education. If Ark Park gets a tax exemption that means more of YOUR fucking taxes will be propping it up. Ark Park wants Kentucky tax payers to subsidise their piss-ignorant little propaganda farm. If you understand it, it should make you fucking angry.
@mandrellian No, that is not what is happening. If I never visit the place, none of my money will ever go there. They are not getting any subsidies, they are getting an exemption. Those are two completely different things.
@staum607 On a lark, I thought I'd search for that Ark. It's a real product, actually a bird house. It's one of the better Noah's Ark products on Amazon, if you're bothered by the bird house, you don't want to see what Fisher Price's rendition looks like. Going by the pictures of models I've seen, a properly proportioned model isn't very prop-friendly.
Mr. Lynn we pray that your eyes may be open to the truth of the Word of God. In the meantime, please don't mislead people with lies and misrepresentations of what really AiG stands for...do your research and educate yourself on what's really behind the so called "Origins" from a "scientific perspective". We all have our biased in what we believe, especially about origins of the universe, man, etc. The bottom line is, who are you gonna believe...fallible man with their ideas and indoctrinating
It is amazing what blatant lies Barry Lynn is willing to promote in order to sabotage that with which he disagrees.
The government is not in any way "paying" for the Ark Encounter. Ark Encounter will only get a rebate on the tax revenue that it brings in. Not one cent of your tax money will go there, unless you choose to visit.
@ChuckMcKnightDotCom "The government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." apparently the good people in Kentucky are too stupid to understand the the tax exemptions they are getting constitute a form of "making law respecting an establishment of religion". Ignorant hillbillies.
@mykelb Finish the quote. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
This is a standard rebate that is available to any organization that meets the requirements. To discriminate against Ark Encounter because of religious content would violate the constitutional mandate.
@mykelb Most churches, synagogues, etc., have tax exemptions. But they do not charge admission or advertise themselves as amusement parks. (Not sure about Scientology and charging fees.) I think Kentucky is wrong on this, but the Creationists and anti-science people are a strong force in conservative GOP politics. And some of them think that "freedom of religion" means only that everyone is free to go to their fundamentalist church.
I love it when even a religious person can see the folly of such an endeavor.
It really is just plain wrong for any governmental endorsement, assistance, subsidization, or designation of tax exemption to be used to spread such unscientific nonsense as though it were fact.
Yea this is just plain wrong, using taxpayer money to create a faith-based... well, anything. Sad thing is, many people in the US are absolutely convinced that the flood actually happened, the earth is 6000 years old, evolution is the devil's religion, and all the time don't have a clue what the real science says, because they perpetrate their ignorance by denying education and using the bible as the ultimate reference for everything.
The Ark Park collaborators claim they followed the application process for state money that shouldn't discriminate based on the project's purpose. Aside from the fact that the application numbers are dubious and somewhat secretive, it's obvious that the state should indeed take purpose into account. Publicly-funded projects must have a secular purpose. I'm sure there's a theme park out there that's crazy enough that even AiG cranks would not to subsidize.
I don't care what any person or group of faith wants to build, just not on my dime. Who are the elected officials who said it's okay to use tax dollars for this project? Let them put together a bond issue like everyone else! Why are tax dollars being used for private AND religious purposes? Perhaps it's already being done elsewhere & we're just now finding out about it. In which case, there will be hell to pay!
You have a point, however, this shit happens all the time in America - and in fact even in more civilized parts of the world. Churches still enjoy tax exemption virtually everywhere. High profile pastors, "aid" money managers, faith "healers" and the likes make millions while the economy is in a ditch. And why? So we can have people indoctrinating kids into dark age superstitions - or fucking them - so it's about time people start to stand up and shout NOT ANYMORE, YOU FUCKERS.
@jubileedoo The truth is, the Kentucky state government is contributing $0 to building this attraction. They are in fact choosing to NOT collect a portion of the sales tax generated at the site IF certain goals are met. They do this for non-religious tourism venues as well. To single out a religious organization by not giving them the same treatment is unconstitutional.
They can build any kind of park they want, with whatever "teachings" they want, but the state cannot fund it. 1A and 14A says gov't & religion stay apart from each other.
