Ken Ham (of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum) prepares to unleash his "Ark Encounter" upon the public. The road toward completion has been a rocky one, with controversies about tax incentives and discriminatory hiring practices often leading the heated discussions for and against its existence.
In this broadcast, we speak with several people who have followed the story closely: Mikel and Ed Hensley of the Kentucky Secular Society, and author Dan Arel.

As a vegetarian, I don't like Hamm. Won't go near the stuff.

As a vegetarian I prefer Kevin Bacon :)
+Pope of Atheism
I guess you didn't hear, Harry Baals shaved.
+tabularasa0606 as a vegetarian I prefer France is bacon.
That's why my wife and I are vegan.
Your at he top of the food chain and your a vegetarian? Are you trying to unevolve?
The only good thing about the Ark Encounter is that is has convinced me that Noah's Ark couldn't possibly work.
It can't be a replica because Noah's Ark never existed in the first place.
Well there are replicas of Aragorn's sword....
But regardless of the existance of an original model question it is highly dubious that it entailed a thick concrete platform anchoring the fucking woodshed down to the ground :D Or carried a gift floor under its keel...
Exactly, and besides, i seem to remember a biblical fundamenalist stating the "ark" was a box.???? Ken Hams "replica" {LOL} distictly resembles a sleekly designed modern day destroyer. What will it take to purge the planet of these crackpot creationist imbeciles.???
john clewes the dimension are in the bible
transtremm
It's a replica because someone already built one and made a restaurant and theater of it.
so true
Hey Ken Ham. The Garden of Eden. Noah's Ark. Were you there???????
He thinks he knows a man in the sky who was there.
@@andrew_35 - Yes - the answer to all questions is magic from his sky daddy -
- so it makes perfect sense to his fallowers...
His answer to that is that his friend was there and wrote a book about it. The rocks were there too and tell a different story IMO.
I'm always amazed how a Mormon or a devout Catholic will stand outside something like the Creationist Museum and get a good chuckle at Ken Hamm while their own beliefs are essentially just as preposterous. It's kind of like the guy who says he can jump over Mt. Everest, making fun of some other guy for saying he can jump over the moon.

I think we should ironically thank Ken Ham for demonstrating beyond any doubt that there is no way the biblical ark story has any truth in it. If it were true he could have built this thing with 8 people, using only iron age technology and it would float.
+Tell Max it concerns the Sandman
Oh, it would float ... for a little bit. It would also twist, leak badly as a result, and SINK. Look up the schooner Wyoming on Wikipedia or elsewhere and see what happens when a much smaller all-wood ship was built!
Troubleshooter125 Well, yes. That's why I think Ken Ham and his group of science deniers should be made to test sail the thing. No innocent animals on board of course, no need for the innocent to suffer.
I'll admit I'm slightly worried that an anthropologist will dig up Ken Ham's ark in about 3 thousand years time and think it's the original, not that there ever was an original.
Being the pedant. Technically it was the bronze age, possibly copper, before they discovered adding in some tin created stronger tougher bronze. Just prior to the iron age.
Really. How do you know he built the Ark with 8 people. Read your Bible. The Bible does not say that. You are full of crap.
Ray Winsor The bible is full of crap!!
I have recently received a mailing from the "Ark Park" group. They were begging for money! It had a pledge page and a small flag. You were supposed to mark your pledge amount and sign your name to the flag and send it all back in a postage paid envelope. I was floored!! I signed the flag "Atheist" and mailed it back with a letter that ask them "WHY are you asking for money?? Noah did it with is family at the age of 500 ys old! WITHOUT money! Maybe you should pray for some 'gopher wood?'" Some how I really do not think they are going to stick my little flag out front of the "ark"...........XD
That 2% tax on wages of the employees is COMPLETELY illegal. Try, as a normal private company, to deduct income from your employees in order to cover your own capital expenses. You will be charged with THEFT.
When's Ham going to build a "replica" of the Tower of Babel?
+Colin Weeden He will probably hire many foreigners that speak different languages and can't speak English, without any interpreters. Or at least should.
+cfltheman so any construction crew
Colin Weeden maybe only god.know
Listen to Ken Ham if you want babble
as soon as he has enough unicorns to pull the carts
OK I'm starting a betting pool to see how long before a tornado comes along and scatters this thing across a dozen counties..
LOL, I wish.!!!
Robert Luben I think a flood destroyed it, really.
Ken Ham will just blame atheists for that too. God's wrath on a godless world and all that. Especially since he is blaming us for the falling attendance now. Not realizing (or not caring) that even in KY he has a very small population that would come back again to see it more than once
LOL! Did anyone else get an ad for a religious film?
yes i laughed
Me too
+InternetDarkLord Yes I too was so afflicted. I prayed and it went away.
+InternetDarkLord yup. Looks like a "history" channel film with actors no one has ever heard of.
+InternetDarkLord
Adblock.
It's not even an ark. It's an ark shaped building. 2000 animals is ridiculously low for the number animals that need to be on it, but an absurdly high number to actually fit them on the boat.
Did God, like, email Ken Ham the blueprints?
+therobotchickenMLP did not have to, they are quite clear in the book of Genesis. will not cost you anything to check it out the robot, but will cost you all if you do not check it out
+Mark Fiege And if you check it out and find just a load of swill then what?
***** why not they built pyramids. The proportions of that ship are similar to to many modern vessels. How do you know it was all desert?
There was 50 tons of high tensile steel bolts and brackets to hold this thing together, Noah didn't have steel so no blueprints. lol.
He got copies, they used metrics and you inches ..................
So ashamed we nurtured and grew Ken Ham here down under. Apologies to you in the States. :)
+Mark Hyde I'm still on the fence if I'm angrier at Australia for Ken Ham or angrier at New Zealand for Ray Comfort.
Sure...so long as you 'accidentally' forget food and tell him to pray for it....
+InfiniteSkeptic 60 How big is the log?
+InfiniteSkeptic 60 LOL! Ok.
No apology neccasarry.
From Australia: i am so sorry he is bothering you guy in usa
He's not bothering everybody.
TRVY9 thank for your consern. we appreciate
TRVY9 aww don't apologize because he's brainwashed. We understand not all people from his country is like him.
LUCKY ESCAPE for you aussies
Ehh..we seem to collect crazies. What's one more for the stack?😜
Noah's ark is a great story and so is Alice in wonderland but at least we know she ate magic mushrooms.
Ham's structure is a building made out of wood, steel, plastic and concrete with lots of electrical appliances and asides from having a boat shape on the entrance side, a look at it from the other side shows that Ham's boat is really a boat shaped building.
He should have built a replica of the Titanic on that land instead. At least it would have been historically accurate and more entertaining to walk through.
Raging Raichu but the Titanic is just a fairytale
Dear God
I know you don't exist but Ken Ham seems pretty sure that you do so I thought I'd have a go at talking to you so we could try to make a deal, if you give us back Hitchens we'll send you Ham.
Best regards,
An Atheist.
PS. We've got Ray Comfort. We'll consiter releasing him when you send out Carl Sagan.
GIVE US CHRISTOPHER. HAM COMFORT HOVIND WE STILL GET THE BETTER BARGAIN IN FACT YOU CAN HAVE ALL CHRISTIANS JUST TO MAKE IT FAIR
We will even release Kent from jail, if you take him to heaven.
@@paulstewart7529 Is that what the Rapture is, the Christians all go to Heaven in return for the Second Coming of Hitchens?
I have said before and will say again that any young earth creationist is either a fool or a charlatan, but in the case of ken ham I make an exception:he's both.
one can hope...
A thousand years from now, the remains of the Ark encounter will be discovered. They will realise that the Bible had a typo; the Ark didn't come to rest in Turkey, but in Kenturky.
religiosoes are so gullible! It's a form of insanity!
What bothers me is that we have so many people in desperate need of food and shelter, and Kanned Ham is wasting all of this tax payer money that imho should be going to help people who actually need it.
Man, whoever gave him his last name was right on the money!
I think the Ark Encounter could be awesome.
Especially, if you go around asking loudly where ALL the animals are, where the food is, why it didn't spoil, where the showels and wheelbarrows for the waste management are (incl asking for a demonstration of it), where the nursery is - since the lifespan of most animals would be much shorter then the actual trip, etc, etc, etc
If one should go and do this please record the time needed for the employees to throw up there hands and yell at you:
IT'S ALL FUCKING MAGIC!
The ad I got for the video, as it always is with your videos, was a religious one. This one was for a the shitty religious movie, Risen. wtf youtube, wtf?
+WillLegend
I think that Atheism gets lumped in the same category as Theism by youtube, though since Atheists generally don't advertise it provides for an interesting subsidy by theists for atheist videos.
+WillLegend youtube just sells automatically-selected ads to whoever has enough money to promote their bullshit. You can't really blame them, it's not like they're pushing an agenda. It's just that the greatest scam on Earth has a damn lot of cash to throw around to scam even more morons.
+EdwardHowton well said.
+Pony Logic Why don't you install Adblock Pro?
+WillLegend It's like FB when you like the Steelers page and it suggests you should like the Baltimore Ravens, wtf and just plain dumb
Too bad it's not the Raiders of the Lost Ark encounter.
David Smith how about Oakland Raiders of the Noah' s ark.....
Maybe it's Ken Ham's turn to get the tax department's scrutiny. Maybe he can better Kent Hovind's stint in jail.
i guess he figured people would just start FLOODING IN...........pun intended
Actually it is worse than you imagine.Leaving aside the "Ark"have you seen the video of Ken Ham lecturing children? Then compare the children's expressions with those of the children being taught ( note the difference) by Carl Sagan. The face of the children could not be more different. The ones with Ham are flat and with no light. The ones with Carl Sagan are alight and eager to learn.
Growing up there was nothing more boring than going to church on Sunday every week. Its probably the same for those poor kids.
Yes as a child you are traped - you cant run away from that insanety...
When you put it that way, Sagan sounds more Christlike than Ham.
I like the approach the japanese government takes on religion. Their basic attitude is this: You can do pretty much whatever you want (within the boundarie of the law of course), but whatever you do, you have to fund it yourself. There is absolutly no government money going into religous organisations and religious organisations follow the same laws any other business has to follow, including paying taxes. Pretty much any and all shrines and temples have a shop somewhere on their grounds where you can buy charms and accessories. And that money (after taxes) is used to pay for the shrines upkeep and the salaries of the priests.
I've been to a big shrine with several hectars of grounds in fukuoka. They had an amusement park on shrine grounds. Nothing like the ark encounter though, it was more like a miniature disney land.
Ken Ham has left the territory of insanity and is walking on territories that are unknown to the experts in psychology.

We should thank Ken for proving that the Ark could not have been built in the way the Bible says.
Think about it: It took 1000 people 2 years, using cranes, trucks, pre-fab'ed building materials and power tools, with food and shelter provided to them (i.e. without them having to spend time on them).
Now, Ken, explain how Noah and his 3 sons should have accomplished this in "a couple decades" using bronze age tools while still raising lifestock and growing food on the side.
Considering all the trouble that one particular animal caused, you'd think Noah wouldn't have allowed any aboard his ship. But he did - and for forty days and forty nights Noah was constantly screaming: "THAT'S IT!!!! I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN' ARK!!!!!
+Horatio Moonraker Forty days and forty nights? That's nice weather. I live in Seattle. Shit. It's been raining for three months!
I wonder at what point during the 6 years of construction, using modern tools, and steel support, employing 1000 craftsmen do you consider that maybe a 500 year old man and stone age tools may have struggled to accomplish this project, not to mention that this construction has not been proven to be sea worthy.
Furthermore I wonder at what point do you wander around the inside of this construction and think to yourself, could 7000 kind of animals really have fitted and survived on such a contraption?
24magiccarrot don't . forget God was behind (black since of humor)!!!!
Im sure that the vast majority of the workers thought it was a joke. Im sure the people that built Disneyland knew that Mickey Mouse was fake as well
And another consideration is they used cubits as a measurement. Since cubit lengths would have differed between all of Noah’s clan the boat would have leaked like hell.
But that’s beside the point. If the ark was built and loaded with animals it would have blown up before water rose high enough for it to float. The amount of methane being farted and belched by all the animals would have produced enough methane to turn the ark into splinters and little pieces of animals and humans. Animal dung would have also produced an enormous amount of methane.
The ark had no ventilation system so all the methane would have quickly accumulated. There was only ONE window is the ark. It only takes a 5% concentration of methane to cause an explosion. But with the ark full of animals and no way to evacuate the inside air, methane concentrations would have built up far beyond the 5% threshold. The ark would have exploded killing every living creature on board.
KaBoom! ☠️☠️☠️ Adios Noah, his clan and all the animals on earth.
In your video of the Museum there was a banner that read: "The Flood . . .Recorded in the Fossils". When Ham starts interpreting the Fossils in light of that assumption, the only possible question would be, "Were you there, Ken?" But I suppose he would suggest the Bible authorizes the interpretation. But the Bible is the source of the hypothesis...Did they have a merry-go-round at the museum?
I'd like to see Mr Hamm explain trees we know are more than 6k years old. Seriously, the devil must be one talented mother fucker if he created everything that tells us the Earth is billions of years old.
they have answers for everything, they don't care about science or accuracy, arguing with bible thumpers is a waste of time. just cross your fingers and hope darwin gets them.
The Aspens in Utah are 33,000 years old. It’s the oldest organism on earth.
Better yet would be to have him explain how a Dove returned with a "freshly plucked Olive leaf" only 7 days after it couldn't find a place to perch, from a tree that had been submerged completely for 264 or so days (Gen 8:9-11). A tall (25-30 ft), shallow root (2-1/2 ft deep) tree that somehow got through all of YECs flood turmoil, turbulence, catastrophic upheavals, without being uprooted itself, without being buried with all the other flora and fauna. Without being affected by the vast shattering of the crust, the shattering of the continents into several continental plates, and the shifting of those continents thousands of miles in less than half a year. And it recovered from that in less than 7 days and produced leaves for the dove to pluck.
Gen 8:5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
Gen 8:6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark
Gen 8:7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. (Stout little bird, the waters weren't completely gone for a couple of months yet)
Gen 8:8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. (because a visual inspection wouldn't reveal dry patches of land or mountain tops)
Gen 8:9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. (meaning that although the tops of mountains were visible, they were still underwater. It also means that the Olive Tree was still completely submerged)
Gen 8:10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
Gen 8:11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. (you mean he couldn't tell with his own eyes that land was uncovered by water?🤔)
The flood that was so violent that it raised mountains by miles (according to YEC), buried flora and fauna in sedimentary layers sometimes miles deep, WITHOUT placing so much as ONE type of flora or fauna in the wrong layer all over the entire earth). Flood waters that were spewing out with such force that they would hit the ark like a matchbox boat being hit with a full pressure firehose.
Oh sure, please explain how that olive tree survived and was able to sprout leaves in such a short time after being uncovered "Mr." Ham. Preferably without resorting to literary gymnastics and/or "divine intervention" that isn't mentioned in that tale
@@philleprechaun6240 Good rundown Phil. Also, a dove could only fly 100 miles a day. So it would take the dove 240 days to fly around the earth without any food. I don’t know of any bird that can live 240 days without eating or stoping to rest. But to fly over the entire earth to see every square foot of the planet it would take thousands of years.
In genesis it said Noah released a dove and it returned later that evening. Given that a dove can only fly 100 miles in an entire day that means the dove Noah released flew at most 50 miles away from the ark. So like you said, if Noah was so close to land why did he need to send the dove out? Noah could have just seen the land. But even if Noah could see the land he couldn’t get to it. The ark had no propulsion system and no rudder. It was a damned barge. It would just float miles from land until all the water receded enough for the ark to settle on ground. But that poses the question: Where did all the water go? If the entire earth was flooded there would be no place for water to go to. Even evaporation couldn’t be an answer since evaporated water would eventually fall back to earth in the form of rain.
There are so many holes in the Bible it’s hard for me to understand how any human could believe anything in it. And how modern day humans could believe insane writings from primitive, barbaric men from thousands of years ago is just plain delusion.
@@philleprechaun6240 Hey Phil, I’m in the middle of writing an article about how the Ark story is completely bogus.
The ‘flood’ was described as covering the entire earth. That means the ark would have floated on water at least 31,000 feet above the sea level before the flood. At that height the atmospheric pressure would have only been 4.3 PSI (pounds per square inch). The pressure at normal sea level is 14.7 PSI (or one atmosphere). So if the ark floated at that altitude every breathing animal would have died from hypoxia within minutes. Supposedly the ark floated for 370 days but it would have been a floating coffin.
In aircraft flight preparations adult passengers are told to put oxygen masks on in the case of loss of cabin pressure. Imagine being on a boat 31,000 feet in the air. As I stated, the atmospheric pressure would only be 4.3 PSI. Just as in an aircraft at 31,000 feet everyone would quickly die from oxygen starvation.
Here is another explanation. Imagine an airplane flying at 31,000 feet. The sea level before the flood would be 31,000 feet below the airplane. Even if the water level rose to 30,900 feet the atmospheric pressure would still be just 4.3 PSI. The airplane would be flying 100 feet above the water but still at the altitude of 31,000 feet. So the atmospheric pressure would be 4.3 PSI. So an unpressurized boat like the ark would be floating on water with an atmospheric pressure of only 4.3 PSI. Noah, his entire clan and all other breathing animals would die.
So I’ve provided two concrete reasons why the story of Noah and the flood never happened. It’s all myth just like the countless other stories of giant floods told by ancient people in cultures around the world. Most of those stories predate the Bible by hundreds or thousands of years so the story is not original to the Bible. In fact virtually no story in the Bible is original. That book is a collection of myths, legends and plagiarized stories from millennia before the Bible was written.
This book describes a lot of the myths that were plagiarized by the writers of the Bible. Btw, the Bible was almost entirely written by anonymous men. It was written, rewritten and edited and re-edited countless times. There are at least 500,000 edits and changes to the stories in the Bible, all done by anonymous scribes.
And to make matters worse, there are no chains of custody of any of the information in the Bible. One political party in the US tried to overturn elections if one ballot was suspected of losing its chain of custody. The same people who protested the alleged loss of chain of custody are the same people who say their lives completely revolve around the Bible even though there are no chains of custody of any of the stories in the Bible.
So according to science, facts and reality the story of the flood, and the building and ‘voyage’ of the ark are false. And I’ve already explained that even if true the ark would have blown up from a build up of methane from animals passing gas or everyone would have died from hypoxia (lack of oxygen) from being exposed to atmospheric pressures of only 4.3 PSI.
When it fails, someone should buy it and make it into an actual museum.
Hav ethey any fire protection or will this ark just go up in a big fire before the opening?
$135 million dollars for a boat that'll never be used. And Ken Ham wonders why people look down on him
I'm still trying to figure out what happened to all the insects nobody put the insects on the ark there's a lot of insects out there can you imagine trying to get two of a kind of hundreds of thousands of insects out there and where did the water go
If it fails, we could turn it into a world mythology themed park. Have theme rides based on these myths!
See! The horrors of the drowning of the children in a genocidal flood!
See! The wild man Enkidu become tamed by beer and sex!
See! Ragnorok and the end of all things!
It is interesting that a Federal Court heard all the arguments for and against the tax rebate and found in favour of " the Ark"
I wonder how many brontesouri they got into the ark, considering the size of the boat, and the size (75 ft.) of the bronto.
Great show, as usual. I love that, unlike so many others, you don't feel the need to have the last word before you end an interview show.
"If you build it, they will come..." Ken Hamm thinks he's building the field of dreams lolol
... What the termites, beavers, carpenter ants and bees, wood boring beetles and woodworms get up to could be fun ...
I love the questions that Aig pose in their apologetics, because normally, I can predict what their answer is, and almost always can use the Bible to prove the opposite to be true.
It tells me that Aig doesn't actually care what the truth is, and that they don't expect people to read the Bible(and interpret it for themselves). All that matters is that they all share Ken Ham's beliefs so they can give him more money.
Has Jesus touched YOU? (show me on the doll) hahahahahahahahaha - gasp hehehehehehehe - sigh. That had me laughing out loud at 1:25 a.m., while waiting for my business's uploads to finish...I LOVE it!
I saw the clip of Bill Nye and Ken Ham. I am Australian and NEVER have I Ever seen or heard such a complete and thorough Tosser. He definitely needs to be committed to a nut asylum.
So, how is Ken going to demonstrate without a flood?
TheUnholiness Within He should have built it near one of those Great Lake or the sea...
Think about this for a moment, dinosaurs in a boat.
saxmanchiro unveiled Ken ham.must be unsein.
saxmanchiro
Should be made into a film
They must have kept the woodpeckers in a cage.
You just had an ad for 'Risen', from the studio that brought you 'Heaven is Real."
Which means they paid to advertise to people who will NEVER pay to see their film. Seems like a good thing to me.
Good for google, I suppose
Of course Hamm doesn't believe any of that bible crap he rants about. He's a businessman.
Kentucky Secular Society....Why have I never heard of you guys? I thought I was living in a bible thumping wasteland!
That burtonesque dog painting as probably more interesting that this "Ark Encounter" thing.
Alpha Course ads are everywhere. It feels like being stalked by my religious roots. It's unnerving.
Whilst this was very informative to people who haven't been following the ark debacle, I feel more details and research could have been included.
The employment discrimination is actually much worse than it sounds.
Most people who are only vaguely following the story (the governor for one), are assuming that only non-Christians will be refused employment, but given that over 80% of the population probably are Christian, then meh, who cares.
There are three requirements for employment, and they were mentioned in the above video.
But it is the salvation statement that is most concerning, because it specifically requires a born-again, Jesus commitment that will exclude Catholics and Mormons and Amish, as well as Jews, atheists, and anyone else who's got the self-respect to refuse to lie on the employment form about their beliefs.
Exactly how many unemployed young earth believing, born again Jesus freaks with no self-respect are there in Kentucky?
+Peter Rowney
I created a meme exposing Ken's lie that the ark will be the largest timber framed structure on earth.
he didn't like it.
arkencounterexposed.wordpress.com/2016/01/27/ken-ham-vs-the-secularist/
There was a Risen ad on this video....ewww
Seth, if you are so inclined, I hope that you do go to the Ark Encounter to somehow give us a narration so we can get an idea of its ridiculous absurdity. You could make it a part of your holiday broadcast. Love your work.
Years ago, my grandma gave me a book by Ken Ham about why all Christians must believe in literal Genesis or else the Church will collapse due to internal disagreements. I think she gave it to me to read because I was a senior in high school and was going to go to college. I read it and believed it, but now I think the guy's a nutjob.
Lol ken and granny were right. No genesis = no need for jesus ... but they underestimated the average christians willful ignorance of what they claim is the truth ... ie the bible.
Someday, in the far future, creationism will be a thing of the past. It literally holds us back and I can't take it anymore.
Yeah, it all started in the garden of Eden. The place where the god put a tree that they weren't supposed to eat from in an area where they could reach. Good plan for a deity with no foresight. Why did he leave the talking snake in there too? If you think it was to test them, then doesn't that mean that he didn't know for sure what would happen? There goes omniscience out the window.
He knew for sure. He gave us free will.
Sound more like Hannibal lecture. Yawn.
John White moron alert
John White "He knew for sure. He gave us free will." Are you sure? Do you have free will? Be bored in your boring life. Simplicity is what you crave when you want a deity in your life to take care of everything. Maybe one day, you'll realize that you have to do everything for yourself.
Hannibal Lecter yeah I'm sure.
"the world's largest paperweight" best line ever! Good on you, Seth. You should put that on a tee shirt.
One more question… the woman that is speaking with the man is that his daughter?
Seth is so awesome with his ability to speak the truth of these religious charlatans!! Their tactics are so typical and sad! All religions are self serving and self righteous for their own gain!! Fact
Send enough people for them to still make a loss and get deeper and deeper into debt...
Please, Seth! Take (another) one for the team and take a tour of the Ark!
I live in Northern Kentucky, only 30 minutes or so from this insanity. I only know a few people who've been to the Museum as actual believers. The rest were people who went to mock it, and as such, they are very much once-and-done.
From my understanding, it's barely keeping it's head above water. The majority of locals would love to get rid of the joint, but understand that the best way to do that now is to ignore it. Let it collapse under its own weight.
Hidden camera tour _please._
AND the expect this thing to be paid for with TAXpayers money.
The government schools get public money and they teach your religion.
+John White Was that the best name you could think up little "Ham Employee?"..... Too transparent AIG Troll!
Paul Austin I must confess I should come up with a different name. I'm not an employee of Ham I'm a garbage man
I live in Louisville, Kentucky, and atheists do pretty okay here. Most people on campus and around town hate Ken Hamm and feel embarassed about it.
I don't think the "Ark Encounter" is a total loss... when it goes under the state of "Kin-tuckie" can take it away from Ham and turn it into a low income housing project... The Ark Apartments... as long as it doesn't leak too much.
I imagine they'll have to do a lot of yarn spinning if they ever get it going to try to explain how, as Aron Ra put it, they'd have to "shovel eleventy tons of shit out the one window God provided for them," and other absurdities.
Did he "teach high school science" like Kent Hovind "taught high school science?"
I wish that was a lot longer.
And some people still doubt if religion makes people more stupid
+UniSteve Gamer
The religious are extremely gullible and gullibility and it's inbred cousin credulity are signs of a weak mind. Isn't a weak mind a sign of a stupid person?
SuperiorZteve18 Ken flunked science but he's no idiot... he's got a nice money making scam going.
If ken ham wanted this ark shit to be looked at more seriously he should have had the ark with realistic creation in his brain
Meaning it should have created without electricity in the ark cuz people knew nothing of electricity during the arks time
The ark itself should be only be lit up with fire torches and they'd need to show spaces on the ark to hold the barrels of torch fuel needed for 40 days and 40 nights
The need to shows proof of fitting 34,000 animals on the ark with enough room for them to sit, lay down and move around without just sitting in 3.5ft by 3.5ft by 3.5ft crates cuz math tells you that all room such a small boat could fit them
They need to show the room needed for food for 34,000 animals for 40 days and 40 nights which in reality would take up more space than the animals themselves
2:29 so how does Ken Ham actually prove his own points then? Was he there 6 000 years ago ?
Which version of which Bible is true ???????
Mitchel Putman no one
A 101 million dollar stool sample built in Kentucky. Ken Hamm is nuts, but those who financially supported this are even more insane. The ultimate grifter for sure.
its the holey Babble not holy bible
The Ark should have a bar, with a statue of a drunk Noah cursing his son.
Once again, Seth, first class show. Thanks.
Ken Hamster is the biggest conman ever. It's all about the $$$
from australia. im sorry too
What's the difference between evolution and atheist evolution?

He does look like the missing link......coincidence!?
Jeremy Henson no no no.ken ham.was.created.by.god.
Jose Chavez Irony, Jose?
Jeremy Henson yes of course
All the videos from this ark building were comment disabled so I write here maybe these people don't like evidences nor discussion this guy Ken Ham hopes he will make lot of money with his boat.
Par for the course with creationists. If it's not confirmation bias, then they don't want to hear it.
i heard about this channel through someone. Can't remember who. It also showed up in recommend list. I am not disappointed
It's not fair on Ham. Years ago he would have been living comfortably in an institution. If you shut the institutions you have to make allowances for people with wierd ideas living amongst us. You shouldnt mock the mentally infirm. The fact that responsible people in government support the ideas is the really scary thing. And in the US they can buy automatic weapons. Be worried, be very very worried.
From Kentucky: We're sorry
Really, we know it isn't ya'lls fault.
Go ahead an' gitnon back ter yer stills an' be-a-shurin' ta fill my order fer two hogshead barrels of yo'r best shine! :-)
I'ma smart briar! Born in Lou'vuhle an' I grad-chee-ated the fourth grade -- almost twice!! ;-)
The Ark's location is hick central where the most popular greeting card reads "Happy Birthday Uncle Dad". 'Nuff said'.
Hey thanks for informing me about this place. We will have to check it out.
Is Ken Hamm a citizen now? If so how? Do you have to be in a ministry to be a to get a citizenship? Cause there's a lot of Latino preachers south of the boarder.
If I'm honest, and I try to be, I don't want any critics going to that abortion of modern engineering. At all. The sooner the "museum" goes bankrupt, the better for everybody, and while one admission pass doesn't account for much, pennies do add up to dollars.
There's a morbid curiosity involved when you see some lunatic spewing incoherent gibberish while foaming at the mouth on the street, sure, but it doesn't make it a good idea to stand there and listen to it.
For the slower students in class, Ken Ham is the lunatic in this scenario. That's not a beard. That's just really old mouth-foam.

But it isn't the museum that goes bankrupt, people go bankrupt, mostly gullible people that are just in it because there parents told them to or some preacher got them when they where in trouble.
If it wouldn't be for that, animal abuse, and the crime against the tax payers, I would also be okay with it, and then watch them, trying to fit 2k animals on that thing and keep them alive for a few month.
It's still a shame. Ninety-nine beautiful acres of Kentucky earth, gone... $101 million wasted... it's a shame our limited resources are just a joke to fundies
+Sandford2790 If they had given the money for animal welfare they could have helped ... how many animals?
+EdwardHowton I am not really sure Ken is a true lunatic. He is just the twenty first century version of a snake oil salesman who has put together a scam that supports him and most of his family.
beaconrider Shit, I read Kent instead of Ken. If you read this pre-edit, sorry.
I've seen Ken Ham's interviews. The smug expression on his face when he thinks he hasn't totally humiliated himself in front of his betters, the barely-repressed anger when faced with someone smarter than him, the creepy child-rapist vibe, he's an even easier call than Kent Hovind. Ken Ham is a fucking serial killer waiting to happen. Just one bad day away from hearing a voice in his head and cutting off heads.
So what happened with al the legalities?
Was any corporation sued, or had to alter their business practices under law, or did they get away with it scott free?
I don't mean this in a derogatory way but, your voice is so smooth and deep that I was surprised to see you looked how you do.
+Ryanfinder226 I gotta know how you expected him to look
+stiimuli 😂 I dunno. Kinda like a more masculine looking Stephen Colbert
LOL! I don't blame Dan's kid for not wanting that cat portrait in his room.
This is so strange. Ham can get away with refusing to hire Christians, but surely Apple could not get away with violating anti-discrimination laws. Why are not Christians up in arms about this? If Ham is going to get all sorts of tax breaks, then all the citizens of Kentucky should benefit from the Ark Encounter.
