I think the criticism on Ark children’s books is a little hypocritical when they have a gift shop with cute stuffed animals and a portion of the exhibit that was meant to be light scary fun. I think those books are fine. When I was little, I got a child’s bible. It was so nice to read over and over.
@@TigerMystic10000 true I mean won't kids get confused about the fact that there were dinosaurs on the ark when they will learn that dinosaurs went extinct before man came (Or in this case before Adam and Eve at the fruit which I thought was an apple not grapes.)

I think they just do it because they want children to learn the right way. Like to understand why it happened. This is where parents are supposed to be teaching their children the bible.. They want parents to teach what sins are and to understand how to keep away from it. Because there are punishments for them.

Thank you Carpetbagger for this video. I was actually considering going to this attraction, but you have given me a good tour. I find it amazing how some of this was interpreted. You saved me some money.
I can appreciate how you were respectful during your tour since you aren't presenting scientific facts. However, being a local resident near this 'Encounter", and knowing that local schools send children there on field trips, I find this monstrosity to be an abomination. Ken Hamm, the lunatic who built this, conned Kentucky taxpayers into paying for part of it. Most people in this area consider Ark Encounter to be a humiliating reminder that pseudo-Christians need some education.
I’m very sorry to hear that school groups are sent there 😞 I heard they also will only hire Protestant Xtians to work there, which seems discriminatory. Catholics and Jews have this story too after all.
@@ilanarhian Yeah, but educated Catholics and Jews realise the story is a fable, and not to be taken literally. It's only zany American Evangelicals who have decided this fable literally happened in reality.
Right? This entire thing is a shameful house of brainwashing and indoctrination. It's child abuse to take kids here; like walking them through a reeducation camp.
I was expecting corpses in the gift shop, everybody dies you know, instead there's "cutsie wootsie" animals for sale, the same ones that are decried and detested in the section on kids books about the Ark. I want that possum stuffy. Thanks Carpetbagger.
you may have missed the point ..... the point of the 'kids book section' was that it left out the story of sin, and why the flood happened.(and why we all need the gift jesus offers us of forgiveness) ... the ark exhibit tells the full story of the flood, so its cutsie wootsies aren't missing the explanation of sin
@@Sir...... I believe that the ark story should be kept just as it is. A folk tale of sorts. If you remove the sin and the religion from it, you have a great story of positive morale, which is great for children and adults. It’s when you attach an agenda to the story that it becomes almost terrifying and loaded with malice and destruction. I say, leave it as “cute” for the kids. There’s no harm in that.
@@CelticShadow75?? There's no agenda, there's the truth and whole story 🤔 .... but leaving out the full story and details = that's creating an 'agenda'
@@Sir...... ok but where exactly is the original full story? Locked away in a vault somewhere under Vatican City? It’s not God that can’t be trusted....it’s man.
@Poptarrtz there is no such thing as “different era dinosaurs” the earth is young, only 6000 years old, the flood of Noah was about 4500 years ago. The lies of evolution tell you, and sadly every kid in public school, that there was a mezzezoic, Paleozoic, blah blah blah but it’s all just made up lies. God Created all creation in just 6 literal days and dinosaurs lived with people. There were actual dinosaurs on the ark of Noah. A modern day Crocodile 🐊 is really a dinosaur. No such thing as millions of years and fossils didn’t get made under millions of years and immense pressure. In fact the Bible said the water came from above and under the earth when the fountains of deep gave up the water! Mass lightning 🌩 and huge waves crushed the animals and people and they were buried very quickly. That is why the fossils look the way they do. Electrocution and pressure made them the way they are. Gods word the Bible is true and eternal. I encourage you to read it, and know that Jesus loves you and died on the cross for you! John 3:16, Romans 10:9;10, open your heart to receive Christ into your life, He will give you eternal life and make you a child of the kingdom! You will be a new creation and have a new heart! God bless you!
@@Pistolpete147 Hi, Petra. I am a Christian too, and I am here to inform you that quite a few, if not the majority of Christians have accepted evolution for decades by this point. Nowadays, most of us have accepted evolution as a work of God like the plagues or Jesus. Keep in mind that even the original version of the bible was written by one of the disciples, not Jesus. We need to remember to see the world as well as the bible. You're ignoring the progress of the world to focus on events told 2000 years ago that could have gotten muddled up over time. It's up to us to know where to blur the line between science and the modern and past bibles. Both have truth in them, and someone needs to forge a new bible that involves the additional information we've collected over time since its conception.
@@tjmccullen2040 with all due respect, I disagree. The Bible is the inspired, God breathed, inherent word of God in its entirety. Written by 40 authors, all Holy Spirit inspired, and it contains 66 books, written over 1500 years. God created the world in 6 literal days, and rested on the 7th. There is no reason to see any “blurred” lines, for when Christ came into our hearts, the blur was made clear! Amen! I’m assuming you are born again, not just saying you’re a Christian because you were inoculated at a young age in a catholic or Christian private school, but that you had a real experience of coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. He died for our sins on Calvarys cross, and rose again and descended to heaven, seated at the fathers right hand to intercede on our behalf. Praise God it feels good to be a blood bought child of the Kinsman redeemer amen! But I don’t and will not believe in a evolution as you point out. That is from the world. It’s carnal thinking. We must take the word of God on faith and know He inspired every word in that precious book! No super computer could ever put it together! Only GOD almighty can do that! Please don’t minimize what a holy eternal God has done and believe it to be as He has written it to Be! God bless you!
@@Pistolpete147 Eh, agree to disagree. Whatever the case, we still believe in God all the same, even if we have different thoughts on the individual details. I know you will probably go to heaven, as will I, even if we aren't on the same page about some things. It is just as fine to trust only to trust the source material as trying to better understand it using what you've learned. To be honest, I would love to contact you to see just how diverse we are, despite both worshiping the same one God. Might I ask for a Gmail address?
I visited the Ark Encounter last year. This place is amazing. The one thing I am most impressed with was how nice the landscaping is. All of the tropical plants are beautiful. They must have lots of landscapers on the staff. I would love to go back some day.
I think it's a great story I don't really believe in it but that's my belief I love all the woodworking that I think that was beautiful but the rest of it I just think is just a story that's all
@@bythegods5683 I can agree with that statement I've just been seeing dozens and dozens of people saying b.d this and b.s that and it's kind of annoying. The ark encounter is meticulously accurate and shows every detail of how everything would work, including the feces issue.
I want to go here sometime. A few friends of mine went a couple of years ago. I couldn't go at that point because I didn't have the money to go. I do plan on going next time I go up to see my unlce. I wish more people were like you about stuff like that.
Carpetbagger, So glad to see you back. Looking forward to hear your reaction to the re opening of California and what that will mean for 'Hollerin Halloween' This year.
The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), also known as the forest fox, wood fox, bushdog (not to be confused with the bush dog) or maikong, is an extant species of medium-sized canid endemic to the central part of South America, and which appeared during the Pliocene epoch. Like South American foxes, which are in the genus Lycalopex, it is not closely related to true foxes.
I highly appreciate the incredibly polite way that Jacob stops juuuuust short of saying something when presented with something completely illogical or goofy. Like, you can hear the joke coming, and then it just kinda... takes a rest instead, haha.
Ahh.. you "greatly appreciate it" so, here you are to be the super hero to show how observant you are. Because you couldn't just keep your disbelieving comments to yourself. Because everything that is different than your beliefs is silly or stupid right?

@@jjbentley9 if his opinion doesn't count, neither does yours. And "proven a lie" huh... funny... how is this story a lie when they've already found the ark embedded into the side of Mount Aranat? Answer me that Mr. KnowItAll. And btw, arrogance isn't an attractive trait.
As everyone is saying, you were really respectful when visiting and talking about this controversal location. Hat's of to you for doing that. However, I do not know if you realize how much of a kick to their balls your last comment about the rainbow was. For them it does NOT stand for LGBTQ rights. XD Love your videos! Keep it up!
The building is quite impressive, but to suggest dinosaurs and 2 of every animal fit on a vessel like this made by someone who had never built a ship in his life is laughable.
Shem, Ham, and Japheth were Noah's sons. The rainbow on the arch is not to celebrate or represent the LGBTQIA. It is to take back the rainbow to what it was before.
It is there to represent God's promise. You know we just had a miracle in our church, and the pastor said he saw the rainbow over the land next to our church one recent evening. The next day Dollar General called and offered $200,000 to purchase the land, which will pay our church off in full. True story...Praise God! The doors were almost closed two years ago due to debt, now it will be paid off in full! The rainbow is HIS promise
Yeah although there was some minor shrink wrapping they were overall decent reconstructions. Though as cool as a concept of a gladiator fight with a carnotaurus is they sadly died millions of years before we could witness them. I believe in God but I also believe in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old.
Shem (married to Pandora, forefather of the middle people- Semitic), Ham (married to Noela,forefather of the southern peoples (Hamitic) and Japheth (Japhth) (married to Noegla, forefather of the norhter peoples, Japhetic Eurasia) were his 3 sons and wives, tribes
Where's the planetary water on Mars that were once great oceans forming the now dry basins? Where does the remaining frozen liquid go when the ice caps shrink every year and then grow again? Fair questions. Not confirming or denying religious doctrine, but still fair comparitive questions.
It's very believable if you aren't easily persuaded by others and examine the science. Who said the water had to drain somewhere? The water is all around, friend. Look at a globe, were covered in it
@@popepiusix7444 I forgot, he must have built cold mold in vacuum bags with West System epoxy and carbon fiber cloth. It is impossible to built a watertight wooden ship this large.
@@rapidrrobert4333 sir, calm your swollen ego. There where many ways they used to water proof wooden ships in ancient times. And even if not perfect, what water did come in could easily have been drained out and the leak fixed. If it was impossible civilization would not exist. Wooden ships have been the main stay of water travel for almost all of time. I beg you do a little research.
Guys... Just go back and read the story (Gen 6) yourself... Like this is the first time you read a novel chapter in any book. It takes decades to build following God's plan God SEALED them in. God lifted them on the water floating above the earth for over a year. All this time they are *sealed* in. Eventually Noah cuts a hole to look for land. The story is kept because it is a metaphor of God's salvation of those that do not go against God's plan for Man. This makes it quite different from many other flood myths that are often more Odyssian... Like the flood of Gilgamesh. If you also carefully read ch 3,4,5 you understand the context of the story. If you read Isaiah 42 afterwards...then you see why the Jews and Christians kept the story in their origins book (or God inspired them to keep it) I'm not caring if you believe in anything or not....just read it in the context of its rabinnical intention.
That fall of man stuff could make for some very compelling fiction. Giants fighting dinosaurs in an arena and a golden snake god. There could be a real good plot there if done correctly. I'd buy it if it were a comic book or graphic novel
In answer to your question, the difference between a ship and a boat is primarily which way it leans when it turns. A boat leans in the direction that it turns, while a ship leans the opposite direction that it is turning.
I do enjoy big boats... More specifically large vessels that carry remotely operated vehicles to explore the deep sea. I'm not religious but I would still visit this place because The Carpetbagger visited it.
To godless people yes, but once you become saved and you put your faith in God and start praying, reading his word, etc, your desire for worldly, wicked pleasures decreases. You eventually get to the point where it replusles you. God satisfies you, he quenches your thirst, you long for virtuous things. But the Devil is smart and cunning, he comes to you like a thief in the night and tempts you, he twists things around so you get confused. If you stay near to God he will stay near to you. Nothing on this earth can compare to the love he has for each and everyone of us. We just have to choose him, it is our choice, he gave us free will to do what we want, but sadly most people don't choose him, they choose themselves and sin.
@Sinner saved by Grace The world has existed for billions of years not millions or 3000 years. The book you believe in is mostly fiction and a lot of it was taken from other religions that existed at that time before they were forced to convert to Christianity.
Sinner saved by Grace Oh my god! The most ridiculous of all organized religions!!!! Young Earth Christians. Wow they actually exist!!!!!! Only in America I swear to your god
Am I seeing things or did I see modern nuts and bolts and rivets as part of the ark's construction? Maybe this is not supposed to be an "EXACT" replica?
Its held together with steel and fiberglass because a real ship of this scale made entirely of wood would implode under its own weight. Even with modern construction techniques, this ""replica"" had to file an insurance claim for water damage - delicious irony
How can all this be so detailed? Was this all in the bible? They put a lot of work in it for something that never happened... anyway it is still a cool museum
This was incredible. I am not very religious, but love theme parks and most places you stop, but dang! One can’t help but to love the scale, and the engineering that went into that. Not to mention the amazing practical FX and skill that went into the animals. The art?! This was breathtaking.

Why would you want to ever lie to your kids about the earth instead of telling them the truth I promise most boys would like the truth about the dinosaurs more than that stupidity you're force feeding them.

@@AmandaCakez the comments are left open. So I have ever right to call it a disgusting waist of good space and it's true. If you're not dogmatic you would see that.

Thank you for showing this. Interesting to get another point of view. I absolutely can't stand the place. Ken Fought over Science vs Bible. And yet, he couldn't get either one right! There are signs in the Ark, that are Biblically Inaccurate
I went a few years back and had a hard time getting through it. It was hard to be respectful after about half way through. I grew up religious and you're right, the signs are Biblically inaccurate. I didn't say anything out loud though. I had some weirdo follow me through the entire place.
It seems like they made some stuff up to fill in the blanks, because the Bible doesn't specify a lot of things. For instance, the names of the wives and what their personalities were like. But it seems to me they took it too far in some areas. There's a place where they describe the sewage system on the Ark. It might be plausible, but none of that was explained in the Bible.
apparently Ham, the guy behind this ark , gets really pissed when you point out if was only possible through taxpayer dollars. It's an impressive exhibit, but they're clearly teaching BS science no different from flat earthers. And it wont even make back the tax money that was spent

Right? This entire thing is a shameful house of brainwashing and indoctrination. It's child abuse to take kids here; like walking them through a reeducation camp.
@@popepiusix7444 - Speak for yourself. Maybe YOU "love it", but educated Kentuckians are embarrassed by it.
Thank you for your tour and commentary. I appreciate your general enjoyment and non-criticism regardless of what your beliefs are :-)
It takes balls to invest a lot of money in an idea that isn’t back up by (in fact widely disputed) any evidence whatsoever.
Anyone else want to see if it can actually float
excellent. Thank you for taking us on a tour of the arc. I enjoyed it very much.
I was expecting corpses in the gift shop, everybody dies you know, instead there's "cutsie wootsie" animals for sale, the same ones that are decried and detested in the section on kids books about the Ark. I want that possum stuffy. Thanks Carpetbagger.
They've also got what appears to be a "cutsie wootsie" book in the gift shop.
you may have missed the point ..... the point of the 'kids book section' was that it left out the story of sin, and why the flood happened.(and why we all need the gift jesus offers us of forgiveness) ... the ark exhibit tells the full story of the flood, so its cutsie wootsies aren't missing the explanation of sin
@@Sir...... I believe that the ark story should be kept just as it is. A folk tale of sorts. If you remove the sin and the religion from it, you have a great story of positive morale, which is great for children and adults. It’s when you attach an agenda to the story that it becomes almost terrifying and loaded with malice and destruction. I say, leave it as “cute” for the kids. There’s no harm in that.
@@CelticShadow75?? There's no agenda, there's the truth and whole story 🤔 .... but leaving out the full story and details = that's creating an 'agenda'
@@Sir...... ok but where exactly is the original full story? Locked away in a vault somewhere under Vatican City? It’s not God that can’t be trusted....it’s man.
When this came up in my feed I thought it was your original video with Adam! I'm so happy you went back there and it was stranger than ever.
The stegosaurus like dinosaurs towards the beginning are actually dimetrodons, but it’s odd that different era dinosaurs all were on the ark together
@Poptarrtz there is no such thing as “different era dinosaurs” the earth is young, only 6000 years old, the flood of Noah was about 4500 years ago. The lies of evolution tell you, and sadly every kid in public school, that there was a mezzezoic, Paleozoic, blah blah blah but it’s all just made up lies. God Created all creation in just 6 literal days and dinosaurs lived with people. There were actual dinosaurs on the ark of Noah. A modern day Crocodile 🐊 is really a dinosaur. No such thing as millions of years and fossils didn’t get made under millions of years and immense pressure. In fact the Bible said the water came from above and under the earth when the fountains of deep gave up the water! Mass lightning 🌩 and huge waves crushed the animals and people and they were buried very quickly. That is why the fossils look the way they do. Electrocution and pressure made them the way they are. Gods word the Bible is true and eternal. I encourage you to read it, and know that Jesus loves you and died on the cross for you! John 3:16, Romans 10:9;10, open your heart to receive Christ into your life, He will give you eternal life and make you a child of the kingdom! You will be a new creation and have a new heart! God bless you!
So true Poptarrtz 🤔
@@Pistolpete147 Hi, Petra. I am a Christian too, and I am here to inform you that quite a few, if not the majority of Christians have accepted evolution for decades by this point. Nowadays, most of us have accepted evolution as a work of God like the plagues or Jesus. Keep in mind that even the original version of the bible was written by one of the disciples, not Jesus. We need to remember to see the world as well as the bible. You're ignoring the progress of the world to focus on events told 2000 years ago that could have gotten muddled up over time. It's up to us to know where to blur the line between science and the modern and past bibles. Both have truth in them, and someone needs to forge a new bible that involves the additional information we've collected over time since its conception.
@@tjmccullen2040 with all due respect, I disagree. The Bible is the inspired, God breathed, inherent word of God in its entirety. Written by 40 authors, all Holy Spirit inspired, and it contains 66 books, written over 1500 years. God created the world in 6 literal days, and rested on the 7th. There is no reason to see any “blurred” lines, for when Christ came into our hearts, the blur was made clear! Amen! I’m assuming you are born again, not just saying you’re a Christian because you were inoculated at a young age in a catholic or Christian private school, but that you had a real experience of coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus. He died for our sins on Calvarys cross, and rose again and descended to heaven, seated at the fathers right hand to intercede on our behalf. Praise God it feels good to be a blood bought child of the Kinsman redeemer amen! But I don’t and will not believe in a evolution as you point out. That is from the world. It’s carnal thinking. We must take the word of God on faith and know He inspired every word in that precious book! No super computer could ever put it together! Only GOD almighty can do that! Please don’t minimize what a holy eternal God has done and believe it to be as He has written it to Be! God bless you!
@@Pistolpete147 Eh, agree to disagree. Whatever the case, we still believe in God all the same, even if we have different thoughts on the individual details. I know you will probably go to heaven, as will I, even if we aren't on the same page about some things. It is just as fine to trust only to trust the source material as trying to better understand it using what you've learned. To be honest, I would love to contact you to see just how diverse we are, despite both worshiping the same one God. Might I ask for a Gmail address?

@@popepiusix7444 What, because a book said so?
Carpetbagger, So glad to see you back. Looking forward to hear your reaction to the re opening of California and what that will mean for 'Hollerin Halloween' This year.
The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), also known as the forest fox, wood fox, bushdog (not to be confused with the bush dog) or maikong, is an extant species of medium-sized canid endemic to the central part of South America, and which appeared during the Pliocene epoch. Like South American foxes, which are in the genus Lycalopex, it is not closely related to true foxes.
I highly appreciate the incredibly polite way that Jacob stops juuuuust short of saying something when presented with something completely illogical or goofy. Like, you can hear the joke coming, and then it just kinda... takes a rest instead, haha.
Ahh.. you "greatly appreciate it" so, here you are to be the super hero to show how observant you are. Because you couldn't just keep your disbelieving comments to yourself. Because everything that is different than your beliefs is silly or stupid right?

i may not be a religious person but dang this place is cool!
Shem, Ham, and Japheth were Noah's sons. The rainbow on the arch is not to celebrate or represent the LGBTQIA. It is to take back the rainbow to what it was before.
It is there to represent God's promise. You know we just had a miracle in our church, and the pastor said he saw the rainbow over the land next to our church one recent evening. The next day Dollar General called and offered $200,000 to purchase the land, which will pay our church off in full. True story...Praise God! The doors were almost closed two years ago due to debt, now it will be paid off in full! The rainbow is HIS promise
@@jonathonbaker-guntang4163 thank God for Dollar General
God is still performing miracles!
Christ is King and Carpetbagger is a disciple!
Surprised how good the dinosaur sculptures looked… along with the pterosaurs and other prehistoric animals
Yeah although there was some minor shrink wrapping they were overall decent reconstructions. Though as cool as a concept of a gladiator fight with a carnotaurus is they sadly died millions of years before we could witness them. I believe in God but I also believe in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old.
Shem (married to Pandora, forefather of the middle people- Semitic), Ham (married to Noela,forefather of the southern peoples (Hamitic) and Japheth (Japhth) (married to Noegla, forefather of the norhter peoples, Japhetic Eurasia) were his 3 sons and wives, tribes
This is too much to believe.
The flood may have been localized not planetary. Where did the planetary water drain to?
Where's the planetary water on Mars that were once great oceans forming the now dry basins? Where does the remaining frozen liquid go when the ice caps shrink every year and then grow again?
Fair questions. Not confirming or denying religious doctrine, but still fair comparitive questions.
It's very believable if you aren't easily persuaded by others and examine the science. Who said the water had to drain somewhere? The water is all around, friend. Look at a globe, were covered in it
The water was high enough to place the ark on top of a mountain
Thank you so very much for this beautiful video.
The Carpetbagger.
Did they show the bilge pumps? A wooden boat that large (not to forget decades old) would leak constantly.
Not necessarily, there are many ways to keep large wooden boats from leaking.
@@popepiusix7444 I forgot, he must have built cold mold in vacuum bags with West System epoxy and carbon fiber cloth. It is impossible to built a watertight wooden ship this large.
@@rapidrrobert4333 sir, calm your swollen ego. There where many ways they used to water proof wooden ships in ancient times. And even if not perfect, what water did come in could easily have been drained out and the leak fixed. If it was impossible civilization would not exist. Wooden ships have been the main stay of water travel for almost all of time. I beg you do a little research.
Guys... Just go back and read the story (Gen 6) yourself... Like this is the first time you read a novel chapter in any book.
It takes decades to build following God's plan
God SEALED them in.
God lifted them on the water floating above the earth for over a year. All this time they are *sealed* in. Eventually Noah cuts a hole to look for land.
The story is kept because it is a metaphor of God's salvation of those that do not go against God's plan for Man. This makes it quite different from many other flood myths that are often more Odyssian... Like the flood of Gilgamesh.
If you also carefully read ch 3,4,5 you understand the context of the story. If you read Isaiah 42 afterwards...then you see why the Jews and Christians kept the story in their origins book (or God inspired them to keep it)
I'm not caring if you believe in anything or not....just read it in the context of its rabinnical intention.
@@popepiusix7444 🤡
Thank you for the video and the tour. I’d like to see it in person.
Soo wrong on soo many levels ( decks? ).
Quite unbelievable..............
The gift shop really says it all 😂
That fall of man stuff could make for some very compelling fiction. Giants fighting dinosaurs in an arena and a golden snake god. There could be a real good plot there if done correctly. I'd buy it if it were a comic book or graphic novel
I wish we could get some of that rain in Utah. Record breaking heat here.
In answer to your question, the difference between a ship and a boat is primarily which way it leans when it turns. A boat leans in the direction that it turns, while a ship leans the opposite direction that it is turning.
And, now I've got the old God and Noah comedy routine playing in my brain. : )
God: "I want you to build an ark."
Noah: "Right... what's an ark?"

Terminator Pig: "I'll be back...bacon!"

Awesome video! I really enjoyed watching! You made the ark so enjoyable!
The dinosaurs really strengthened my faith! Let me tell ya!!!!!!
Yes, metal working was bad. Also music seems to be playing all the time.
Even as a Norse Pagan, I LOVE learning about other religions and beliefs. I found this really interesting
I do enjoy big boats... More specifically large vessels that carry remotely operated vehicles to explore the deep sea. I'm not religious but I would still visit this place because The Carpetbagger visited it.
Noah's sons is sham ham and japheth
all of the godless world dioramas just looked like a straight up good time.
To godless people yes, but once you become saved and you put your faith in God and start praying, reading his word, etc, your desire for worldly, wicked pleasures decreases. You eventually get to the point where it replusles you. God satisfies you, he quenches your thirst, you long for virtuous things. But the Devil is smart and cunning, he comes to you like a thief in the night and tempts you, he twists things around so you get confused. If you stay near to God he will stay near to you. Nothing on this earth can compare to the love he has for each and everyone of us. We just have to choose him, it is our choice, he gave us free will to do what we want, but sadly most people don't choose him, they choose themselves and sin.
@@5325bunny Buddy half of the worlds problems started cause people fought over religion. it's best we just don't have anything.

How can they put dinosaurs along human beings in the Noah's ark? Dinosaurs disappeared millions of years before the human specie evolved 🙄
If you think that's bad, wait till you see the leprechaun exhibit!
Because even the most hardcore Christian knows that dinosaur toys sell.
@Sinner saved by Grace The world has existed for billions of years not millions or 3000 years.
The book you believe in is mostly fiction and a lot of it was taken from other religions that existed at that time before they were forced to convert to Christianity.

Sinner saved by Grace Oh my god! The most ridiculous of all organized religions!!!! Young Earth Christians. Wow they actually exist!!!!!! Only in America I swear to your god
Am I seeing things or did I see modern nuts and bolts and rivets as part of the ark's construction? Maybe this is not supposed to be an "EXACT" replica?
Its held together with steel and fiberglass because a real ship of this scale made entirely of wood would implode under its own weight. Even with modern construction techniques, this ""replica"" had to file an insurance claim for water damage - delicious irony
How can all this be so detailed? Was this all in the bible? They put a lot of work in it for something that never happened... anyway it is still a cool museum
This was incredible. I am not very religious, but love theme parks and most places you stop, but dang! One can’t help but to love the scale, and the engineering that went into that. Not to mention the amazing practical FX and skill that went into the animals. The art?! This was breathtaking.
19:55 It rained for 40 Days/Nights .... but they were in the Ark for 150 days total

How many times were you proselytized during your visit?
Thank you for showing this. Interesting to get another point of view. I absolutely can't stand the place. Ken Fought over Science vs Bible. And yet, he couldn't get either one right! There are signs in the Ark, that are Biblically Inaccurate
I went a few years back and had a hard time getting through it. It was hard to be respectful after about half way through. I grew up religious and you're right, the signs are Biblically inaccurate. I didn't say anything out loud though. I had some weirdo follow me through the entire place.
It seems like they made some stuff up to fill in the blanks, because the Bible doesn't specify a lot of things. For instance, the names of the wives and what their personalities were like. But it seems to me they took it too far in some areas.
There's a place where they describe the sewage system on the Ark. It might be plausible, but none of that was explained in the Bible.
I find the story hard to believe. The animals would eat each othe r especially the dinosaurs. You need bees and insects.
It seems like this is where all of the church “donations” go.
This was somewhere in the ballpark of $94 million to construct. 1/3rd came from donations, the rest from the taxpayers.
apparently Ham, the guy behind this ark , gets really pissed when you point out if was only possible through taxpayer dollars. It's an impressive exhibit, but they're clearly teaching BS science no different from flat earthers. And it wont even make back the tax money that was spent
@@AUstudios Ken Ham is a complete genius if I am being honest. He’s a crook, he’s evil, he should be in prison, but....he is a genius none the less. So many sheep blindly follow this poor excuse for a man it’s absolutely mind boggling
So neat thanks always wanted to visit ....the virtual tour was appreciated greatly.
This is really well made and well thought out... I’m impressed! Even if I don’t believe in it, they did a great job! I’d visit!
Shem, Ham and Zameth were the sons names, Ari'yel (Shem) wife, Kezia (Ham), and Rayneh (Zameth)
