I have been to the Ark. It's weird.
They have some interesting exhibits where it's obvious that someone gave it a lot of thought. They dug in and thought about the tools and techniques that someone would have had available to build something like this 5000 years ago.
In some ways, it's a real monument to human achievement. But then the next exhibit just shrieks that there were definitely dinosaurs on the Ark and if you believe differently you're dumb as shit.
2/10. Food was awful.
My mother-in-law, who is very religious but basically never pushes it on me, once said to me, "it's really interesting. You don't have to be religious to enjoy it." I just nodded and smiled.
There were some aspects I liked. They demonstrated some construction techniques people could have used to build something similar 5000 years ago. That was neat. They used some carpentry found in archeological digs from the time. I am a sucker for some of the old PBS Nova specials on how ancient Egyptians build obelisks, pyramids, things like that.
It just gets buried in the schlocky pseudo-science really quickly. It's a hard pivot from sewage systems, to people riding dinosaurs like horses, to lap joints.
Well, now I want to know why there aren't any dinosaurs still around!
There's lots of them. We make nuggets with them.
That's in reality, via evolution. I wondered what their fantasy story was.
Too many nuggets, probably.
Satan took them and put them in rocks to fool you about evolution. Satan playing some serious 56D chess.
It's an Onion classic!
From 1904!
They immediately burrowed into the earth looking for food (with their shovels) and died of starvation at the bottom of their holes, which is why they're just bones now.
Mission Failed
Their stance was that Noah only brought the little ones on the boat and left anything big behind. Then the little ones died out.
Kinda surprised they didn't just go for the easier "they all got left behind" explanation.
Elephant - check
Velociraptor - no check
Also there are still dinosaurs around
