The fArk Park is 1.6 miles from the Ohio River. Just sayin'.

A big flash flood.
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.'

Nowhere near a "big" flood for the Ohio. ISS people have seen it from space during recent floods.

MOTHER FUCKER,

Even CBS These Morons(CBS This Morning) is doing a story on Ken Ham's bullshit lie peddling. What they should be reporting is the illegal use of tax payer money to promote religion.

This is using tax payers, money to finance this charade?

If so, that is garbage. How is it not a separation issue?

It was, until he challenged it in court, and in KY the court says this for-profit, self styled religious ministry that severely discriminates in its hiring practices (have to swear allegiance to a YEC model, have to swear off premarital sex and homosexuality, have to sign a statement of faith in the infallibility of the Bible) is worthy of tax incentives and special treatment. AiG bought the land from the county for $1, there is a TIF district being set up, where all employees in a certain district have 1-2% of their paychecks garnished for the next 30 years to pay for the tax rebates that the park will get. Also, the county/state are paying for a renovation of the I-75 off ramp which is not set up for the amount of traffic. That's $11mil right there.

All this based on models paid for by AiG that vastly overestimate the amount of visitors that will come to the park.

Independent firms suggest much much less attraction over the TIF years. So if/when the park fails, the taxpayers will still be on the line for repaying the millions of tax revenue promised---even if there is no park.

Also---here is the entrance to the park on opening day:

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

How can they get away with this?

This is atrocious. Waste your own damn money on this nonsense, fine. But why should people's hard earned tax dollars go towards this shit brigade? I can't believe it's been ruled that way. Still a long way to go.

Pretty funny how God not only needs money, but government subsidy in order to spread his stupid messages.
