For a man who constantly touts his plans to build a creationist empire in the United States, Ken Ham is surprisingly bad at his job. The professional charlatan’s greatest success, his mind-boggling Creation Museum, faces a serious decline in attendance. His next boondoggle, a Noah’s Ark–themed creationist amusement park, was so woefully underfunded that Ham began selling junk bonds to keep it from going under. Initial construction on the dramatically scaled-back “ark park” is barely underway. And now Ham has already run into legal trouble. His utterly predictable offense? Using taxpayer money to discriminate on the basis of religion.

1. If you are dead set on a fantasy theme park

Might I recommend Unicorns? They seem nice.

2. Gawd works in mysterious ways

3. Couldn't happen to

a more deserving guy.

4. He's creating a Noah's Ark theme park, and his name is Ham??

Now THAT is funny!!

Is Ham African-American perhaps? Or prone to over-acting?

Perhaps Shem or Japheth can buy him out.

10. Yeah!!! I noticed that, too!

Looks like he's got egg on his face, as well!

5. Of course it is. Even in the Christian Church many believe in micro-evolution. It is mostly the rw

who take the Bible literally.

6. Project delayed by rain.

Forty days and forty nights.

7. Wow...how could anyone possibly have seen *that* coming?

I mean, anyone with a pulse and anything above a room-temperature IQ.

8. they've always been bankrupt--now they're just adding "financially" to scientifically, theologically

morally, philosophically, historically, socially

9. i thought his debate with Bill Nye saved the park, Darn!!

I was looking forward to riding the dino-jesus coaster

11. Have to downsize the "Ark Park"

An 1984 Bayliner with a walk through bow, two stray dogs, and whatever local homeless person who needs a job for the day as Noah. All day pass for $14.

His problem isn't management, I wonder how many times Flanders would return to see the same rubber statues of dinosaurs fetching the newspaper for Fred and Wilma? Once in a lifetime is probably plenty for most. It ain't Dollywood.

12. Not surprised

[Gothmog]

13. Ham is an idiot

[Mister Nightowl]

14. Oddly, the "Burning In Hell" Hall wasn't a hit with the kids

[Enthusiast]

15. Even if it came of without a hitch it would still be a failure.

There is a very finite number of ignorant people within driving range of that park. It's not like they would continue to visit it time after time.
