Default Idiots Urinate Money Away On Noah's Ark Replica

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/1...de-cincinnati/

Quote:
The Creation Museum will announce details Wednesday afternoon of its planned expansion.

Answers In Genesis, which built and operates the religious-themed attraction, plans to build a full-scale wooden replica of Noah's Ark based on biblical descriptions.

The $24.5 million project will be constructed by the same team that built the Creation Museum.

The religious ministry is soliciting online donations to help construct the project, which they expect to draw an estimated 1.6 million visitors per year.

Ken Ham, president and CEO of Answers In Genesis, cites poll data showing that an estimated 63 percent of Americans would visit a full-scale replica of Noah's Ark if one were built in the U.S.
$24.5m could feed a lot of people... But build a boat! That's some mighty fine christian'in y'all got thar!

while that is true, how much do you think will be made by the tourists coming to see the boat? surely more than 24.5m right?

Of course, and that money will surely be spent on charitable endeavors! 60% of Americans would go and see this? Country full of idiots.

Why wouldn't somebody go see it?

I'd go see a giant boat, that actually sounds pretty cool.

This will come in handy when 2012 rolls around.

I hope they don't let the aadrvarks on this time.

While they are at it they should probably try to fit 2 of every species of animal on the planet in there, see how that turns out.

I just went to see a giant boat last month!


Course that one had planes on it. Which is much cooler than giant boats without planes.

How awesome would it if they put animatronic velociraptors in the stable next to unicorns...



Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a full-sized replica of the ark.
