Oh no... What if kids red books and find out religion is a just a bunch of ancient myths and superstitions?
There are AT LEAST 925,000 species of insects in the world (that's just how many have been discovered). If there's no such thing as evolution, then those have always been around. So that's 925,000 pairs of insects ALONE in a boat 300 cubits x 80 x 40.
There are estimated to be 8.7 MILLION animal species on the Earth. That's 17.4 million animals (or a lot more, if you read the verse that says "5 pairs of all those clean" ) crammed into that boat.
It would be a shame for someone to read that and realize... there's just no way.
Yeah. I kind of figured after the insects, there woudl be no room for the regular animals myself.
Also, how would all the unique species of Austrailia which can swim, and soem firds which cant' fly en dup there?
The story doesn't make any sense. Also the bible flood story isn't original, but was plagiarized from another religious tradition, but they plagiarized it themselves from yet another religious tradition and so did they.
it would maybe be a shame nowdays for someone to read that and realize that it was never meant to be read literally lol
LOL... I love that Meme. I'll probably laugh a little about it all day.
@snytiger6 I know . . its brilliant and usable in so many situations!
Got to agree. I remember my first anarchic tendencies were spawned from reading Wind In The Willows. This was capped off by the glorification of the villainous folkloric hero Robin Hood and the frequent subversive trespass by the Famous Five.
No good came from it!
I cannot get this link in Europe but I kinda get the gist.
I say run with it. 6" war declared banner headlines "LIBRARIES ARE DANGEROUS SAYS CHURCH". That would send so many kids flocking there. They could become the new rock-n-roll. All the really cool guys would be inside the library. "Hey, there's Johnny. He's owns 2 cards!" "Yeah, I heard he just formed his own book club.... dreamy guy."
Or
"Where are you off to at this time?"
"I'm just off to the mall to hang out"
"Really?"
"Honest dad"
"Don't let me find out that you've been to that library"
"Dad, you treat me like a kid sometimes"
Books would get a kind of retro cool that vinyl has in music. "You get the full hit when you do paper"
(I look forward to furthering contributions)
Whenever I see some nonsense from creationists about Noah's Ark, I recall an article from at least 15 years ago about how the GISP2 Greenland Ice Sheet Project proves no global flood occurred within the ladt 110,000 years - much less than the last 6,000 years as claimed by young earth creationists. Never mind all the other problems with the Noah's Ark stories (because the Bible does have two conflicting versions of it). I found the article by Paul H Seely titled "The GISP2Ice Core: Ultimate Proof that Noah's Flood Was Not Global" from a Google search, but can't figure out how to copy in the link since it opens as a pdf download. The Youtube link below covers the same information and through a series of videos goes into details of the evidence and how the data was gathered.
Also, the Chinese have written records going back about 6,000 years. That would indicate that one, man is older than 6000 years, and two that the mythical flood did tno affect China.
Libraries have always been dangerous to ignorance!
His mythical story book starts out with a warning... "Avoid the tree of knowledge!!!" .... Haha.
Lol. The most dangerous book for Christianity is the bible itself. How many of you know the story of Elisha and the bears?
Yep
That's a just and righteous God for ya
The willful ignorance of Ham and those like him boggles the mind, but I’m an NC native, I’m used to it.
There’s an old Alice In Chains album, Devil Made Dinosaurs...xtians believe either that Satan places fossils to test their faith, OR, like in Ham’s ‘museum’, the Dino’s coexisted with Adam and Eve. Either way, pure delusion.
Ken Ham is such an ass.
He's just mad that his con is failing miserably.
Libraries are the same as they've always been.
Knowledge has always been the kryponite of the believers.
They can't defeat it, and it always defeats them.
Yes! Haim is becoming a millionaire with his religious youth circus, now differently a three ring circus!
He's right. It's hard to keep them dumb & sheeplike when they discover the library.
Holy shit! I just viewed the ark encounter and the bible museum sites! What a complete load of crap! These science deniers would have you believe dinosaurs coexisted with humans! J.F. Christ! Carbon dating and other methods are a pretty accurate means of timing things out! Those two places (and all religious institutions) should have a disclaimer, something like, "Entering this place requires one to suspend disbelief. Please place CO (carbon monoxide) mask over face for 30 seconds before entry! Have a pleasant rapture!"
They did co-exist! I have seen The Land That Time Forgot, i’ll have you know!
