Thank you for sharing this with us, Frank.

Go, Ken Ham!

I forgot about Ken Sham.

After watching the video I want to go there, but don't tell anyone.

It is rather impressive. The size of the Ark is amazing to see.
I definitely enjoyed it. Well, I have a deeper appreciation for it because I believe the Bible, and I know the living God, though.

Well, I don't think it is nice to mock. Now that said, I don't agree with the idea of a Creation Ministry. That is an oxymoron. Our ministry is Jesus Christ. We preach Jesus and not the creation. But I do not disagree with his view that the Earth is young. But the Earth being young is really not that important to know. It is more important to know Jesus and to walk with Him and to love others. Our ministry is not to destroy the false teaching of Evolution (Although I am sure we can do so on occasion). Our ministry and focus is to preach Jesus. Granted, that said, the Ark encounter is really impressive. It is supposed to be built to scale of how it was in the Bible. To think of the Ark is to think about the global flood that hit this Earth. This really makes you think about how God hates sin. He destroyed a whole world because man was really wicked at that time.

The times will get wicked again like that, too. For the Bible says as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

What makes you think that evolution is false? How do you explain the fact that there is no scientific evidence at all for creationism and endless evidence for evolution?

Because creationism didn't generate any evidence.

Don't get me wrong though.

From the "outside looking in," creationism generated a whole universe.

But from the "inside looking out," there isn't any.

Nothing evolved until after the Creation Events were done.

And even then, it was only microevolution.

Just as evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis; evolution has nothing to do with creationism.

Because it didn't happen. Certain events leave evidence, no evidence, no event.

At best you are now claiming that God started the Big Bang, your claim about evolution is still wrong.

And even then, it was only microevolution.

Just as evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis; evolution has nothing to do with creationism.

No, there is no difference between micro and macro evolution except for time. We have directly observed both. Once again, if your story was true it would have left evidence. The evidence tells us that your story is wrong.

Do you advocate searching the Sea of Galilee for Jesus' footprints?

Mock? I'm not mocking. I'm talking about a man who does everything he can to avoid paying taxes on his monstrosity. Taxes, by the way that go to pay for public goods, like public schools. The moment some "Christian" goes out of their way to avoid contributing to the common good, I find them to be not only a sham, but despicable. It's just another avaricious fool lining their own pockets. Idolatry, in other words. It's just shaaaady.

That "monstrosity" didn't generate any sales tax? no employee taxes? nothing?

Wow, you think just like them. "Any" could be $0.001. Would that be sufficient? What is the price of greed?

In 2017, they sold the main parcel to their own non-profit affiliate in order to avoid paying the fee necessary to upgrade the city's emergency equipment that would serve the facility. They later reversed it. Why? because they knew it was shady. It was avaricious and a sign of the kind of "business" they were willing to engage in.

Alright. Not going down that rabbit hole with you. You have to know the Creator of the Universe in order to see that Evolution is false. My trying to bring up points is really not going to help you all that much. Besides, such a thing is not really the topic of this thread. We are talking about Ken Ham and his beliefs.

Fine. Then please make me know that Creator of the Universe.

The news is one thing, and what we know in what he really did is another. I am not God to fully judge another believer and everything that others say he does. What I can judge is what I see them doing with my own two eyes.

As for what you call a monstrosity. It's a reconstruction of the Ark. Would you rather the kids go to Disneyland whereby the promote witchcraft and other sins?

So is he breaking the Law whereby he is in prison now?
Usually a shady person who scams others and breaks the laws end up going to prison.
Do you know the intimate workings of Ken Ham's finances?
Maybe he did not have enough money to pay the taxes.
Did you ever think profits may have been down?
Are you God to know his heart and all the situations he has faced in putting forth his Bible based museums?
Granted, I don't think I could own such a theme park because it falls into the realm of being rich.
But that's another topic of discussion.
In either case, I do believe God is using the Ark Encounter despite Ken Ham for a greater good.
I believe it is an impressive display of the Bible coming to life with seeing a life sized Ark.

It takes faith. Faith in God's Word (the Holy Bible). For faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, He was buried, and He was risen three days later (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Seek forgiveness with the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:13). Receive (Invite) Christ into your life (John 1:12). For God so loved the world that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but they shall have everlasting life (John 3:16). Then keep the commandments that come from Jesus and His followers in the pages of the New Testament. For we can have an assurance that we know God if we keep His commandments (1 John 2:3). The person who says they know the Lord and they don't keep His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them (1 John 2:4).

I noticed Ken's ark has electric lighting, ventilation and fans. I'm not convinced the original had those amenities. What do you think?

I think that, since it was a miracle, man cannot duplicate it.
