Oh but it's so filled with so many original artifacts of the creation, you know like oxygen, gravity, atoms, molecules, dust mites, probably a rodent or two. I bet on a good day they may even have a rainbow to show off!
What's not to be gawked at and admired?
If I was rich and lived in that area I would buy a plot of land down the road from that "museum" and erect a sign that said something like "STUPIDITY 1 MILE AHEAD! IF YOU HAVE A DOUBLE DIGIT IQ.... THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU!"

This is so embarrassing, it makes me want to move out of my home state.
Makes me want to move out of the country. I ranted about it here if anyone's interested.
The main points being: a) it's not constitutional and b) it's ludicrous and a waste of resources. But of course, the religious are A-OK with throwing away their money and time for the furtherance of their worldview.

With exhibits like these who wouldn't want to go?

If these dopes want the thing to be Biblically accurate, they should have one family of 8 people build it all by themselves using hand tools. Then they might find out what an impossibility it would have been to build the "Ark".

And make it seaworthy. I'd love to see how that massive monster made of wood, with not even metal reinforcement, can somehow stay afloat for 140 days without breaking apart.
The largest seaworthy vessel was about half the size of the ark, made possible only by metal strapping, and even it leaked constantly.

Very true! That's something the twits don't realize (or choose to ignore). A boat of that size made of wood would have leaked like a sieve! They couldn't have possibly made it watertight! It would have sunk rather quickly!
Another thing.... they didn't have the tools back then to construct a keel for a boat of that size! It would not have been possible to manufacture a wooden keel that large!

Easily solved through experimental biblical archeology. Let them build their arc to their specification, and then load the ark with a pair of bible literalist for each pair of animals the literalists thinks was on the original ark, and set the packet adrift for 140 days.
