1. We need tax cuts for the rich

and kentucky is building bible items.

2. It is imperative they have a carousel and roller

coaster, ferris wheel and cotton candy. What would Noah's Ark be without them!

8. and Evel Kinevel (yes, that's right-resurrected from the dead for this one performance)

as Moses, jumping not 1, not 10, not 20, but 30 burning bushes. Don't miss this one and only cameo performance.

3. Let me prophesize....

There will be no opposition to Kentucky shelling out $37.5 million to the private company to build this theme park until "Mecca Land" or "Krishna Land" developers apply for a similar permit and tax benefits.

4. $150 million theme park based on book of Genesis.

Kentucky 'Creation' Theme Park

The governor of Kentucky announced plans for a $150 million theme park based on a literal reading of the Bible's book of Genesis. Governor Steve Beshear held a press conference alongside representatives from Ark Encounters, LLC, and Answers in Genesis, the two organizations collaborating on the project.

The park is scheduled to include a first-century style village, a replica of the Tower of Babel, children's play areas and petting zoos, and the main attraction: a full-size Noah's Ark based on Biblical descriptions.

5. idiots

This country sucks.... what a bunch of idiots......Noah's Ark, what a joke!

6. Validity as an historic item.

Well, there is none, because the Noah story is a MYTH. I mean, 2 of every animal? There are how many species on the planet today?

Animals: estimated 3-30 million species

And this is just one of the problems. We haven't even gotten to 40 days and 40 nights.... much less cubits.


But as a theme park, it could be actually kinda fun. But of course it WON'T be "fun". It will be treated as deadly serious and some kind of actual occurrence. And then of course Shiva will descend and destroy the whole thing.

This is obviously an example of how, when the uber-wealthy get their tax cut, how they're going to create jobs. Goldman Sachs is paying for it, right? And of course dressing up in bright pink polyester "Biblical" costumes and taking tickets is just the kind of jobs we need to create here in America!
