Concrete canoe it aint. It's a cheap parking garage with engineered wood siding. The wife and I will be nearby shortly...gonna hit the waterpark there. I might, just might, stop by and snap some photos of me pissing on it. I'll try not to sink the damn thing while I'm at it.

Funny enough Ken Hams demographic these days are going well extinct
because all that money was completely wasted for as much people showed up. That guy also was delusional
to put up that youtube video saying people were flooding into the ark on opening day when there was more
protesters than even people who wanted to go. But yeah.. i give it a good year or two before it turns out like
The holy land experience selling its stuff off and eventually selling the property.

They knew that going in, that's why they didn't want to spend their own money.

I note the Old Chicago Amusement Park couldn't make a go of it, despite being an enormous, fun, enclosed, amusement park in an area of the country not known for good weather.
And then we have Ham's Ark, not exactly in a 'crossroads of the nation' location, with a steep, steep, steep entrance fee, fiberglas animals, a theologically suspect pedigree (from an actual believers viewpoint, btw), and perhaps a more than significant expectation from the public it's going to be a failure from the hinky financing it took to get it built.
I smell catastrophe . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hopefully thinkingathiest can buy the building off of ken and have it set up a atheist meeting spot

We could hire it and have a real ark orgy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's a really good idea. We could really push some boundaries and see how far they'd be willing to go for money.

The state of Kentucky (my current home) has decided to not appeal the ruling in favor of Ham's "Adventures in Genocide" fun ride. Americans United for the Separation of Church and State reports no current citizens court actions. They did post this article about Ham's claim that evolution is a religion of death:
https://www.au.org/blogs/wall-of-separat...-dichotomy
Great quote :
So, Ham’s new theme park highlights a Bible story in which God kills every living thing on the planet save for Noah, his family and the animals on the ark – yet evolution celebrates death?
I would be interested in learning how and joining with any Americans / Kentuckians that wish to pursue a civil matter against Ham. Tax subsidies for businesses are common. Ham though has claimed this is a Christian mission and employees are required to toe the line.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Push the boat out, eh?
