That's the entire point. The stupid are allowed to roam around freely.

We keep them corralled and out of your countries; a 'thank you' once in a while might suffice.

Creationists hold that, contrary to mainstream scientific thought, science supports the biblical account of the Earth�s creation in six days.

even lil is better at this than sushi!

Are they gonna call it Praiseland?

At least it will keep these people in the middle of nowhere.

Kentucky's state-backed $150 million creationist theme park, The Ark Encounter, will allow visitors to explore a literal interpretation of the Bible's story of Noah and the ark. But pseudonymous liberal Kentucky blogger Media Czech raises two important questions about that interpretation and how it will be manifest in theme park form. First, were there dinosaurs on the original ark? Second, what about unicorns? Now, the blogger has found answers to both questions at Answers In Genesis, the official blog of the group behind The Ark Encounter. The group says "yes," to both, which implies that their creationist theme park will include dinosaurs and unicorns on the Ark. Here's Answers In Genesis explaining why dinosaurs were on the Ark, although the group prefers to call them "dragons": Being land animals, dinosaurs (or dragons of the land) were created on Day Six (Genesis 1:24�31), went aboard Noah�s Ark (Genesis 6:20), and then came off the Ark into the post-Flood world (Genesis 8:16�19). It makes sense that many cultures would have seen these creatures from time to time before they died out. And here's their position on Biblical unicorns: The biblical unicorn was a real animal, not an imaginary creature. ... The absence of a unicorn in the modern world should not cause us to doubt its past existence. (Think of the dodo bird. It does not exist today, but we do not doubt that it existed in the past.). ... To think of the biblical unicorn as a fantasy animal is to demean God�s Word, which is true in every detail. The Kentucky blogger fumes: Kentucky will now be known as the state whose governor endorsed and gave $40 million in tax breaks to people who want to tell children that science and history explain that a 600 year old man herded dinosaurs, fire-breathing dragons and unicorns onto a big boat 4,000 years ago.

That's a lie spread by George Soros!

I was actually planning on going to this 'park' with some friends for shits and giggles... but the Star Trek exhibit is at the Science Center, its expensive, and I find it much more relevant and logical than the Creationism Park

This just makes me worry for people.

I happen to be a rationally thinking, educated liberal born and raised in Kentucky. Many of my friends and family are religious and conservative politically and I understand that they do comprise a majority in my state, especially at the polls. But it really is embarassing that this is the kind of face we choose to present to the nation despite how odd or inappropriate the manner or setting. I do get a kick out of the irony that the interstate exit leading to the creationism museum also leads to a state park that is one of the oldest sites of prehistoric animal bone excavation and a birthplace of modern archeology. When you get to the end of the off ramp, you have to choose which way to turn.

edit: dinosaurs and unicorns are such lightweight queries - now confirm that Cthulhu was on the ark and you've got yourself a theme park...

But if it fulfils all the necessary criteria to receive the funding, I don't see why not. For all I care, they should also subsidise the construction of a Buddhist themed-park, a Muslim recreational centre and a Hindu shopping mall in the same city if that helps boost the economy.

You really want to give them a reason to whine and claim they're being persecuted!? Didn't you learn anything from those annoying truthers that (incredibly) claim to be Galileo?

As a linguist, do you really reckon I like to know people out there believe the Tower of Babel actually existed? Do you know how frustrating it is to painstakingly study every detail about the evolution of language and have some git claim that he knows what happen because it's in the Bible, and the story he tells makes no sense whatsoever?

Oh they are going to claim that anyway. Its what they do. If there were only christians left in he world save for a single person who doesnt belive in that prick jc and hides in a came somewhere to avoid the death squads (the reason why there are only christians left in the world) they would claim that they are being persecuted by him.

Oh i think every living physicist, biologist, chemist...fuck it, every living scientist knows how frustrating it is to painstakingly study something and then have some asshole with a bible claim that his work is wrong because god said so...and then have other stupid people believe him and not the scientists because...well, god said so! This frustration is all to well know to anyone who has ever had to deal with religious people.

yes, what i learned was that if you provide a suitable forum where woo can be created and disseminated, you get more woo.

the fact you would defend tax dollars being spent on something like this just makes me refer to my 2011 predictions

I really do not see what is wrong with this. Disneyland is also a magical kingdom of fantasy and gift shops.
