You're equating historical events that a few nutjobs on the internet make wild claims about to scientific endeavors that have thousands of datapoints in favor of being true, with near scientific consensus?

Have not been inside but they used religion to milk the state of millions to build it. Seems a total scam and one of the "exhibits" I could have made way cheaper going to the dump and scavenging the materials. I have to think if you got you are getting maybe 2 cents on your entertainment dollar.

I’m pretty sure it’s fundamentalists that are building that strawman.
I think the proprtion of Christians who would fall back on hand-wavey, literalist, Santa Claus-style arguments in response to such questions is extremely small. However, it is these believers-in-the-impossible who non-believers seek out and argue with. They're not, by and large, interested in debating with people like C.S. Lewis, or some monsignor at the Vatican who's really devoted his life to studying the Bible. They'd rather bag on a bunch of hicks who wanted to build an ark.

Although I do love the idea of atheists building the ark encounter as some next level trolling satire.

Great. You do you.
There is plenty of evidence of a world wide flood if you choose to look at it. But im sure its more enjoyable to just make jokes- like the people of Noah's time.

Yep. I always feel bad when you see the boomers on the internet screaming about how the moon landing was real
I didn’t know you could get internet on a jitterbug phone

They probably wanted to build it in less than 100 years. But they showed the structure could be built by hand. and that it would float etc. They put more thought into it than the OP would have you believe.

A worldwide flood can easily be disproven. It did not occur.

Just because the Jurassic Park movies made these dinosaurs to be man eating ferocious beasts to make movies scary and thrilling doesn't mean that it's true. Hell, there are many medieval and Chinese references in literature that point to dinosaurs, dragons, fire breathing lizards. They have found fossilized footprints of dinosaur's side by side a man's footprints But don't let my opinion sway your close-mindedness off. It doesn't hurt to research these things for yourself just to go against the grain of what you/we have been taught for years.

Have you ever read the Bible or done any research other than scientific websites that state God does not exist? If not, maybe you should.

No, there’s not. At all. And if you think that a story of a 900yr old man and his small family building a boat large enough to hold and sustain two of every animal on the planet during a flood that would theoretically take more water than exists on earth is less crazy than my Brian theory- you should think harder. It’s insane.

Yes, he literally fits their definition of an “Antichrist”. They even wear the mark- whether that be a flag, a t-shirt, or a red hat.

There is no support for a world wide flood, from any scientific perspective. It is simply not possible to have happened.
There is evidence of many large scale regional floods throughout history, but all taking place at vastly different times on the geological scale and in many different places.
It is also scientifically impossible for their to be a worldwide flood a few thousand years ago and for the world to be like it is now.
It is simply a tale passed down from desert nomads, likely based on a large regional flood.

Cheetahs, for instance, completely disprove the tale. Genetically it is impossible for them to come from a singular pair in the past couple of thousand years.

Just pointing out that he is arguing things that were never claimed. The facts here are what is claimed in the bible, not whether they are to be taken as truth or not.

If it is Noah out chasing down animals, that wouldn't be a fundamentalist strawman. Fundamentalists will tell you that the animals came to Noah, not vice versa.

It is still operating? Good for them...nothing like running a long con in open sight to warm the cockles of a capitalists heart....
But after further review it seems that the place would have closed shortly after opening if not for some sweetheart deals from the state and local government who are now in the process of gettin' that money LOL....damned con artists getting tax breaks and infusions of cash from the guvment....that is some straight up small government conservatism for you!
