I heard that this monstrosity cost in the region of $100 million dollars to build, is that correct?

Well, we would have to figure the exchange rate from Denari to dollars, and then factor in 5353 years of inflation.

100 million might have been a deal, actually . . . .

Also, God provided Noah the animals at cost, Ken couldn't finagle a similar deal this go round.

Denarii didn't come into use until the second Punic war,  So only 2227 years of inflation is possible.   Tongue

'Tis.
"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

Lol, Ken Ham was called out on Twitter for lying about the attendance on day one.

He was trying to make fun of the atheist protesters and how small their crowd was, and posted a picture showing the opening day crowd. Except, he showed a picture of the media day they held, not one of July 7th, which was opening day.

Because opening day was underwhelming.

Actual Opening day (I'm not making a joke with this, this was a picture of the lines on July 7th at about 1PM):

Lying for Jebus? How noble.

Who wouldn't want to go walk around inside Ken Ham's fantasies?

That is not an impressive crowd anyway.
