The "lie" that we can physically observe happening in real-time?

Is he actually that stupid, or just counting on other people being that stupid?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 55 minutes ago

Researching the Lie of Evolution

is such a weird turn of phrase even on its face. It is anti-science in the strictest sense. "Any amount of money investigating the veracity of claims is a waste, because we should just intuitively know the truth of all things."

Taken to its logical conclusion, this implies Ken Ham is claiming to be omniscient.

I forgot this guy was still alive. Huh.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Ken hamanmanman is still alive?

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.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (5 children)

Well, now I want to know why there aren't any dinosaurs still around!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There's lots of them. We make nuggets with them.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That's in reality, via evolution. I wondered what their fantasy story was.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Satan took them and put them in rocks to fool you about evolution. Satan playing some serious 56D chess.

Their stance was that Noah only brought the little ones on the boat and left anything big behind. Then the little ones died out.

Elephant - check

Velociraptor - no check

Also there are still dinosaurs around

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just go for the easier "they all got left behind" explanation.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm not mistaken, they have dinosaurs on the boat. We lived hand and hand them.lol

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 1 points 58 minutes ago

We still do

Evolutionary research HAS been a massive benefit to the human population. Virtually all medical research requires evolutionary biology to some extent.

[–] buttfarts@lemy.lol 5 points 1 hour ago

Does he believe the inventions that allowed modern medicine and telecommunications were all inspired purely by God? (who only seems to 'inspire' religiously ambivalent scientists and researchers)

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

You mean this idiot is dumb?!

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Poll: is "$102 million dollars" "102-dollar million dollars" or "102 million-dollar dollars"?

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It was counted in pairs, so it is actually 51 million dollar sets

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ken Ham bitching about how tax dollars are spent is rich, since the fucker went to prison for not paying taxes.

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think that was Kent Hovind, not Ken Ham.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

Well fuck that guy anyway

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 48 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

KY taxpayers paid for that bullshit too

[–] xwolpertinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I was gonna say "At least somebody paid taxes" ...

but I was thinking of Kent Hovind and Dinosaur Adventure Land

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry for your loss (of money)

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

lol i never lived there. and never would

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 23 points 7 hours ago

If like me you don't know who this person is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_Encounter

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Worst hams. Ken Ham, and Bores Head

Best hams. Jon Hamm, and Jon Hamm’s John Ham

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hamas is better than fist 3

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

'Hamas is better than fist 3'

Apparently Hamas likes getting fisted.

I read the bottom part first, and I was thinking, "Just because it was a film doesn't mean that the Titanic wasn't real."
