"A number of years ago, our board of directors started asking, “What happens when the bus hits Ken?”…"

Party time? Who has the keys?

Ken Ham is a religious nut case who built a monument to human ignorance with money donated by people too stupid to know any better. It only stands to reason his heir apparent would be someone equally crazy and intolerant. I wonder if either of these two grasp the irony involved when a science denier uses a smart phone?

Great! A younger, more dynamic, more PARANOID and more demagogic leader than Ken Ham will accelerate the full-throttle power dive into the ground that the world-wide Religion of Hate is committed to complete.

Way off-topic, but to all my fellow Southern Californians reading this, be safe.

" there is no way you can expunge that message and that truth because it is the Gospel"

Huh? I just took the time to check my Bible, and I'm damned if I can find any reference to conversion therapy in the Gospels. Or to sexual orientation in any context at all. It isn't possible the "omniscient" God didn't know anything about it, is it?

"The Truth of It."

This from a guy who deals in falsehoods.

Remember every accusation from these people is either projection or a confession.

Meet the new grifter, same as the old grifter.

Seriously, though, Australia... don't you have some far corner of nowhere to send these nitwits to instead of shipping them here? Somewhere full of giant spiders and snakes and crocodiles? We're kinda full up on wingnut whackjobs already, y'know. You really don't need to send us any more.

Once again:

The Ark Encounter is supposed to be a Christian ministry. What does this Old Testament graven image (along with the Creation Museum an hour to the north) have to do with Jesus?

“What happens when the bus hits Ken?”

I hope that the bus is okay.

Well, I'm glad for Hemant that Ken Ham will have a successor who will keep things going after his death. Otherwise, what would Hemant do if he couldn't continue running those series of columns on attendance at Ham's museum? LOL!

Did I read that right? This group raised $2,000,000 for a legal defense fund and gave $100,000 to the accused party they were purporting to defend? And the other $1,900,000 went ...... where?

So apparently, Ken has found another s̵a̵p̵ ̵i̵d̵i̵o̵t̵ believer to take his place. Have to say, the most disappointing part of this whole business is that there are, indeed, younger people who believe the tripe that Ham and his cronies spout. I wonder if Kenny has shared the Ark Park's P&L statements with the new boy, or if that kid is prepared to manage an organization which is figuratively flying about one mile an hour above stall speed.

It'll be interesting to see how Iles deals with all of that ... IF he can.
