Good news people!  Fundraising for the Kentucky Ark is going well.  The expected cost is $24.5 million and $8.3 million has been raised in just 2 short years.  The park idea was announced around December 1st, 2010.  At this rate only 6 years to raise the money from millions and millions of crazed christians.

Here is the Rachel Maddow video of the announcement.

What is the Ark! (from the ark encounter website – I choose to not link to)

The Ark Encounter is a one-of-a-kind historically themed attraction. In an entertaining, educational, and immersive way, it presents a number of historical events centered on a full-size, all-wood Ark, which should become the largest timber-frame structure in the USA.

Additional future phases for the attraction include a Walled City, the Tower of Babel, a first-century Middle Eastern village, a journey in history from Abraham to the parting of the Red Sea, a walk-through aviary, an expanded large petting zoo, and so on.

The Tower of Babel?  Is that a good idea.  I don’t think that worked out so well last time.  You may want to get to the Kentucky Ark before they finish that tower.

Let’s see…. The bible says that Noah and his three son’s built the same thing all alone.  For Ken Ham it will take about 6 years to raise the money and say another 4 years to build it.  They will use $24.5 million dollars, countless workers, modern construction equipment and the above mentioned donations from millions of christians.  Ken Ham’s Kentucky ark may be the best proof ever that the bible is not true.

If you don’t want to keep waiting, you can make your own donation below.  Select the amount you want to donate and click the image and give some money!

You can also get a lifetime (only one lifetime) family pass for just $3,000.  There are only 12,000 of these so don’t delay!

It looks like they found Noah!  You will be shocked to learn that they have turned off the comment on YouTube but, you can point and laugh here all you want.  Put your comments below.

Here is Noah on his cell phone.  Is that a smart phone?  Noah is pretty hip!
