"Following up on the Bil Nye and Ken Ham debate on Creationism, Creation Museum founder Ken Ham announced Thursday that a municipal bond offering has raised enough money to begin construction on the Ark Encounter project, estimated to cost about $73 million. Groundbreaking is planned for May and the ark is expected to be finished by the summer of 2016. Ham credits the high-profile evolution debate he had with "Science Guy" Bill Nye on Feb. 4 with boosting support for the project.

After learning that the project would move forward, Nye said he was 'heartbroken and sickened for the Commonwealth of Kentucky,' lamenting that the ark would eventually draw more attention to the beliefs of Ham's Young-earth Creationist ministry. 'Voters and taxpayers in Kentucky will eventually see that this is not in their best interest.' Nye hopes."

    Hehehehe. I like. (;

    Funny, my problem with the story is it's utter complexity.

    The way I see it...

    God is all powerful.
    Man is not.
    God has a bad hair day, decides to commit genocide because he's a petulent 4 year old at heart. Decides he likes a few and won't kill them because they make a great beer or something...

    choice A: flood the world, drown everything, major cleanup, wasted resources, big headache arranging for it all OR
    choice B: God snaps fingers. everyone he doesn't like dies. The lions are fed well tonight.

    If he picks choice A, it proves he is a psychotic sadist.
    If he picks choice B, it proves he a compassionet psychopath.

    But he loves you!!!
