I'm agnostic and don't really care one way or another about stories like this Ark thing, but when a Nye or Dawkins gets unsolicitedly involved, it just automatically makes me sympathetic to their target.
From the 2nd sentence of the OP:

Answers in Genesis president Ken Ham invited Nye, best known for his 1990s science TV show, to visit the Ark Encounter on Friday.

This thread has gone exactly as I thought it would, a lot of people showing hostility towards the attraction due to their own anti-Christian biases. I can see a non-Christian not being interested in going. That makes sense. But the hostility towards the very existence of the place I find mystifying.

You show your own bias by assuming you have to be anti-Christian to call out Ham for filling his pockets by acting as a false prophet.

I've made a point to avoid the religious side of this thread and focus on the business aspect of the matter. And it looks to me like this is probably going to be quite successful. I just find all the attacks on this attraction laughable.
If people want to attack it, they should at least be honest and admit it's the fact it's a Christian attraction that they don't like. I can at respect that argument as being honest.

As I do most nights, I'll be enjoying a bourbon and coke tonight myself.

Why did they need public funding then? Are private investors just too dumb to foresee the "marketing genius" in this and that it is going to be "quite successful"? You would think a great and profitable idea would have had no problem finding investors
. The fact that they used public TIF money for this is absurd. This post was edited on 7/12/16 at 4:16 pm

If that's not the reason why would they fabricate that answer just appease your agenda that it's some attack on Christianity as a whole?
The reality is for me, as a Christian, is it's an entity created by a man who I'd regard as a false prophet who is out to make money off Christians who don't know any better. It's no better than the non-denominational megachurches we've seen pop up that give little back to the community but have preachers living in the same neighborhood as the CEO of Papa Johns off his parishioners buck. It's an embarrassment and it's sad that there aren't more Christians willing to call out it's BS.
And that's not including the financial burden that will likely fall on the state when it defaults and closes, which I've pretty clearly expressed.

Except for the major difference in the story of the Pyramids that says they were built using slave labor, big difference from one man that supposedly built a giant raft as well as rounded up a male and female of every single animal on earth.

Why?
Tumblr is a place. I'm hostile towards it's existence.

They actually have model dinosaurs in the exhibit hahahahahahaha. How freaking dumb do you have to be to believe this stuff?

Have you aware of how the latest stadiums are funded? Why are the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Braves not paying for their own stadiums?

Again. Why do franchises need public funding to build stadiums? Are private investors just to dumb? Maybe it has something to do with "they can" because the municipalities see the long term benefits.

I don't recall any dinosaurs in the bible. Where are these whackjobs getting this from?

It said "A man" not just "man" IE Noah couldn't pull it off by himself. Of course it "could" be done with monumental human effort and mass resources but that isn't what the Bible says happened now is it?
I must have missed the verse where it says Noah single handedly built the ark despite being 500 years old and most likely having thousands of descendants.
