Didn’t Indiana Jones find that?

What, you mean that was a different bronze age fable? My bad. $90M–I’ll just bet they’ll get some grade-A indoctrination for that! The cell phone photos of the “attractions” will be just priceless.

Lets take a moment to send PluckyInKY some thoughts of support…

The state had awarded an $18 million tourism tax incentive to the project before withdrawing it last year over concerns about “religious indoctrination.”

Bullshit. There were no concerns about “religious indoctrination.” There were many concerns, however, about the lawsuits that arose concerning the unconstitutional nature of the state funding such a moronic boondoggle.

The massive, 510-foot-long wooden boat is the $90 million first phase of a planned religious theme park.

$90 million…for the first phase?? If God is truly behind this, shouldn’t it have come in much cheaper??

And shouldn’t the boat had been measured in cubits? Talk about “historical” inaccuracies.

Obviously, this was gift-wrapped to be Bevin’s future legacy…the Lord works in mysterious ways…prior to his party’s traditional manner of exiting the governorship, in disgrace and prison-bound.
But, what a scam!
Today they say $90 million but just back on June 25th it was $86 million and in January of this year they said it was $73 million for the project price tag…and the on site photos don’t seem to change as much as the project cost estimate…strange.

Dr Carson stated

So let me tell you something: The Ark was built by amateurs

if it took Noah and his sons as long to build an Ark as its taking the the pros then everyone and everything would’ve been wiped out…

Next year, they start work on an authentic and realistic reconstruction of Santa’s Workshop. As a preliminary, exploratory step, they’re sending an expedition to the North Pole to see if they can find any traces of it, to ensure accuracy.

In fact, why didn’t it just magically appear? I’ve wondered about the original Ark, for the same reason. Why didn’t God just deliver the sucker?

How many starving children does $90,000,000 feed, anyway?

It will be interesting to see how many animals they can fit onboard.

If it weren’t for tyrannical government regulation – your minimum wages, your building codes, your OSHAs, and whatnot — they could have used volunteer labor and donated materials and brought the project in for under $5,000 or so.

You don’t have to feed fetuses, and the others don’t count.

I hope they start with the beetles (at least the non-aquatic ones). There are roughly 400,000 species of them.

We already know the answer. 2 of each species (or just 1 if the species is unisex)! So roughly 16 million animals. Duh.

The real challenge is going to be how to get one man and a few family members to traverse the world and round up all 8 to 10 million species, sometimes in extremely remote or deadly-to-humans environments, and get them all back to the Ark in time for the next big flood and before they perish.

But don’t worry. It’s possible. The Bible says so.

do they have building codes, minimum wages and OSHA with a new governor waving the bible around now?
