An atheist exposes the Ark.

HELP US SINK THIS ARK!

FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel recently gained access to the taxpayer-funded park, revealing its efforts to lure public school students to creationism, while discriminating against LGBT and non- Christians.

This Ark is really a Trojan Horse, emblematic of the Religious Right’s efforts to push our kids into creationist schools.

Thousands of young students are already traveling to the $100 million Ark, which was completed last year using tens of millions in taxpayer funds, on land that the government gifted to Ham. Public school students are allowed in for $1, learning that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, dinosaurs once lived with man, and God’s flood killed all but those who made it on the Ark.

1. I like what Seidel is doing here, and fully support his efforts to keep science in schools and

to keep creationism and religion out. A small quibble: it was rather hyperbolic to write that he "gained access" to the park. I assume he bought a ticket?

2. The Ark Encounter is not even based on the Bible but on pseudo-biblical fan-fiction. Example:

Did you know that Noah managed to build such a large ship with so few people because he had access to ancient super-technology? Yes, before the flood, mankind had futuristic super-technology.

Many think Noah was a very primitive person with no technology. But prior to the Flood men were making musical instruments and forging instruments of bronze and iron: “His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron” (Genesis 4:21–22). By the time of Noah, who knows what advanced technology they had?




See? As soon as presume that the ancient world knew magic and futuristic super-technology, the story of Noah makes perfect sense.

5. Is that sign from the third attachment actually at the park? That'd be sadly ironic.

7. The third video about the stench of the slave ships

While this is in no way meant to lessen what the slave went through, something crossed my mind of a more recent vintage.

I live in a rural area of Iowa. CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) are all the rage these days. Huge buildings with thousands and thousands of animals basically grown like vegetables as food for humans.

Pigs, chickens, turkeys that may never see the light of day from birth to slaughter. and of course since they are animals, they excrete. Many CAFOs are quit lax in sanitation and on a hot day the stink is powerful and can travel a long ways.

What those animals go through surely puts a person off the meat.

So that would be a modern day idea of what the supposed ark would deal with.
That is unless God came in to clean every day.
